I am amazed that I have a new “goodbye song” with a completely different theme than my prior song “Saying Goodbye.” My new song contains acceptance about the process of seeing someone I love depart. I believe that is a huge step in my evolution as a human. Life is all about arrivals and departures. Continue reading →
