Yes I'm with you guys, i love inspiring stories and also songs. Yes all we really have is our own Hope, strength and beliefs and if this is taken away then things are difficult.
I came across Fran Peatt Blog from yesterday reminding me of a beautiful inspiring song "When you believe by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey" the words are just so right...... Its a really beautiful song. It's been out for years so have a listen to the words on you tube. (Copy and paste address)
