Lo, and behold, my tremendously talented friend, Doug Allen, has written another amazing song. Inspired by seeing the Everything Will Be Ok signs all over town and a conversation he had with two other friends of mine (Sally and Ken Abele), he sat down and wrote a beautiful song to share with the world.… Read More »

by Audra H Anders for The Aha! Connection
I’ve been chatting with my mom a lot more lately during quarantine and she told me the other day that the thing she misses most about not going out is being unable to get out to the nursery to buy flowers. Like mother like daughter.
