Healing Journey and Personal Growth From Life's Little Sparks with Lorana Johnson

This is a look at how our attitude and comments affect the way we interact with our family, friends, associates and our community.

How some silly roosters looking in a mirror and watching a baseball tournament reminded me of my own my values. And how those values guide me in my life.
