Being ‘Stickered’
...have a special message on the back of a label; my label last Saturday was the word ‘GORGEOUS,’ so I looked out at the autumn colored trees and whispered: ‘You are gorgeous; thank you for being you.’” On the opposite end of the question is Sister Janice Smith, “NO!

...deserves to be labeled, judged, discarded even, according to the worst thing we ever did?
