I Have A Dream...

(International dolls by Queen Holden)

I hope that someday we will live in a world
where we can view each person as worthy of respect and love.
Where people of all skin colors, nationalities, religions,
 and economic status can live side by side.
A world where we treat each other with kindness.
I have a dream...

    I think that day will come...but not in OUR life time. Sad.

    You know I am always drawn to those sweet little dolls of all nations in the flea markets. Something just so sweet about knowing the culture and history of our sisters and brothers. Beautiful...Renee

    Some of the best words ever written - we are just so slow to put them to work...

    If we all strive toward that dream perhaps we can make it come true. Stella

    Kindness could go such a long way in helping our world. I think people are forgetting the golden rule of "love thy neighbor as thyself".

    The current political atmosphere needs a dose of kindness!

    That's a great illustration for a great Dream. The road next door to us, here in rural(ish) southern France, is Allée Martin Luther King. I keep wondering if I could suggest to our mayor that we should celebrate there next year!
