Please note: Respectful dialogue is valued, even for those who disagree. But this is my blog. Comments I deem cheeky, offensive, off-topic, or violate decorum—or that promote your goods or services—will be deleted. The purpose of this site is to promote healthy dialogue with respectful people on this important—life changing—topic, and to help those who need help or healing.
