Giving voice to these difficult situations and finding the grace to move forward is a gift worth sharing, as People magazine recognizes…

April is the National Month of Hope. Hope is like the trees blossoming right now in New York's Central Park, each delicate branch full of possibility despite another brutal winter. Hope lives inside our dreams and our prayers, promises us another sunrise, a better day, or that this too shall pass…

Turns out underneath all the ghosts and goblins miracles can be found.
