There ARE angels among us, and one of them is
KELEE KATILLAC. What strikes me about Kelee is she’s not an angel just because, but because she chooses to be. That makes her extra beautiful in my eyes!
Today here on
PINK SATURDAY is extra special as Kelee shares her wonderful gift of love and healing over at her blog as she created a healing space for a "sister of her heart” Colette Gauthier…
Please visit her today to read this inspiring story and to raise money for charity AND you can win great prizes too!
On this pink Saturday we are sharing INSPIRING stories! I instantly thought of the book series
“Chicken Soup for the Soul” and was drawn to the Chicken Soup book “Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul,” PERFECT for this celebration of life and of Colette!
This poem us for YOU, Colette….
ODE TO THE CHAMPIONS
Who are these people --
These doers of deeds,
These dreamers of dreams
Who make us believe?
Who are these people
Who still win the day --
When the odds are against them
And strength fades away?
These people are champions,
For they never give in.
A heart beats within them
That is destined to win.
They follow their dreams
Though the journey seems far,
From the top of a mountain
They reach out to a star.
And when they have touched it --
When their journey is done --
They give to us hope
From the victories they won.
So here’s to the champions --
To all their great deeds.
They follow their hearts
And become winners indeed.
