December 24, the last window of all. Tomorrow is Christmas when Santa does call. But before that is the window that’s most special of all, it’s the window to forgive the big and the small.
This may be the biggest window of all. To forgive someone may be one of the greatest challenges we face. But it may also be one of the biggest kindnesses we can give. Especially to ourselves.
Forgiveness is itself a kind of window and, once opened, can release a lot of the things we are really better off letting fly into the…
Parks Canada is raising concerns about a “three-fold increase” in instances of unwanted animals being dumped at Rouge Park.
