Celebrate the opportunity to give a hand up!
I am fortunate to have benefitted from the changes and to now have the opportunity to give a hand up to others. The journey continues towards a world in which all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, can take their place according to their ability and aspiration.
Being unique can become a bad thing
It is important to be aware of how our unique personality traits can become weaknesses, which can diminish the effectiveness of how we live our lives and how we serve God. Finding the ways in which God wants us to use our personality traits appropriately is essential if we are to serve God according to His will.

Je ne peux pas oublier la première fois que j’ai attaché mes lacets tout seule – j’aurais pu avoir trois ans et demi – et papa a souri d’un air approbateur, fier de mon accomplissement. MaisContinue reading “Rendre la prévention de la démence une priorité nationale en matière des soins de la santé”
