Mind, Body, Soul
Close Escape!!
By Mona Lease

Greetings, Gals!! Noblesville, Indiana Middle School had a student brandish a gun in the school. A teacher and a 13 year old girl were shot before the injured teacher wrestled the "teen-gunman" to the ground - getting the gun away from him.

The girl is still in the hospital in critical condition.... as I write this. The teacher was released 24 hours after his admission to the hospital.

With people wondering how this happened and wanting/needing to "back up and regroup" - here's a list for a secluded place in every state. Hugs and prayers to all in Noblesville.

True love is being there for the good times, the hard times, and for all time. You don't need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely. When love is real; it doesn't lie, cheat, pretend, hurt you, or make you feel unwanted. People come and go in your life, but the right ones will always stay. It takes three seconds to say "I love you," three hours to explain it, and a lifetime to prove it. When you love something, you don't threaten it. You fight for it. You take care of it. You put it first. - Leslie Knope

Metanoia (n): The journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, and way of life.

Happy Metanoia, ya'll!!!

"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can make all the difference." sun.gazing.com

The best is yet to be!!       MONA
