Views: 1301(1 vote) - The Negative Response to Positive Endeavour - by Submitted on Nov 19, 2011 from John G E FryeFor some of us, we don’t always see positivity for what it is.

Views: 977(1 vote) - Why Wait? - by Submitted on Sep 11, 2011 from John G E FryeI was drawn to a posting made by an inspirational friend on Facebook recently; she drew my eye to the subject of ‘regret’.
