Each with fortitude and perseverance
which lies within the soul and heart.

and a new horizon to be crossed.

Some good friends were brought into my life to show me a better road to travel upon. It was from them that I first learned the benefit if Seeking and Accepting a Guiding Presence from
My GREAT FATHER.
Through such a reliance, I found my KIVA as a way and place to seek and Keep Individual Value Alive. This reliance has remained with me along the way.
