Message in a Bottle “I am here to create connections with other people and communicate. Communication isn’t restricted but a two way street. It involves sending and receiving messages. Through communication, we can overcome loneliness, eliminate confusion and tensions. Communication permits us to exchange information, express our feelings and touch the lives of others in an amazing way. Today, I’ll listen and adjust my method of communication to ensure I can contact the individual I need to reach.”                                                                                                          -Darlena Swann

Solitude “When I am separated from everyone else, I can hear myself. I can find my own particular space, collect my thoughts, and experience my inner peace. Presently, I search for moments of solitude that bring me a sense of calmness, serenity and put me in contact with my inner spirit. I no longer attempt to maintain a strategic distance from solitude, but embrace it like getting acquainted with an old friend.”                                                                                                       -Darlena Swann
