Last Sentiments ... I hope you enjoyed the journey of the Mirror's Reflection. To me, that is the tell all of life. Each of us has a story and we have had the pleasure and displeasure of meeting other stories; some similar while most different. However, this is where I would differ. Our stories are interwoven together. For example, people who have been physically and/or emotionally abused would gather those who had not would not understand. Yet, looking closely within the person (if allowed) you would see he or she has suffered some type of abuse. The difference, in all things, is how we see and respond to it! Some take it by force becoming living examples by sharing their story of rising above the circumstances. And then there are those telling the same story but were unable to rise above. They, instead, are buried under the circumstances. In either case, the one above and below reach others by their reflection! I liken this to those countries using their children as time bombs. No, we in America do not use our children as time bombs; however, they are used as bait in a divorce. What is truly the difference? They use the innocence of a child to show the purity of sacrifice for a great cause. In America, we use the innocence of the child to represent "self-righteousness" to prove we are the better person for the child's welfare. Remember, abuse is harmful and injurious. It is wrongly used or improper; deceptive or misleading. We, like them, decide selfishly what is best! But that is another story for another time ... We must reflect a mindset that is being renewed and transformed so our mirror can make a difference!  Thank you!   Katherine
