Something From The Heart We have officially started one of the most beautiful seasons of the year..Christmas. Now, the shopping madness begins. People go in search for the ideal present for everyone on their holiday list. Remember, it has to be something awesome for a great price. So, what do you look for?

Movements Of The Heart Jennifer sat in the quiet stillness of her room, as her two young children slept peacefully just down the hall. She sorted through her wallet for the seventh time and then proceeded to empty out her piggy bank again. Things have been really tight since her husband passed away. She wanted to give her children something wonderful for the holidays. But, she just didn't have the funds to be able to do so. Tears began to stream down her face despite her valiant efforts to hold them back. She slowly got ready for bed. As morning arrived, she got the children ready for school, and then proceeded to work as usual. A friend noticed the change in her usually bubbly personality. Lea has been a confident and friend to her since they began working together three years ago. "What's wrong Jennifer?" She asked her with love. "Nothing," Jennifer said....
