Do or Do Not…..

I have this sign hanging near my back door, I have had this sign hanging somewhere in my house for the past several years.  I look at it often and sometimes it really stops me in my tracks and makes me ponder the question.  What would I do if I knew I could not fail?… Continue reading Do or Do Not…..
