Your blog about Toni Morrison stuck with me, as well as this great quote: "I hope we can all stop looking at life as if we already know how it ends, and instead open our eyes to the beautiful things we can learn from each other." That's the best part of Facebook, Twitter, social media--expressed in one line.
