I'm convinced the true history of our time isn't what we read in newspapers or books...True history is almost invisible. It flows like an underground spring. It takes place in the shadows, and in silence, George. And only a chosen few know what that ...
I’m divorced, so I know what it takes to make a marriage work. My love is like an empty box of desert. Just add water.
