Personal Restoration Renovation and Conservation: On Sinking... PART ONE (of two posts) *Photo from Wikipedia On the afternoon of April 11, 1912 the luxury liner known as the "Titanic" set sail. Constructed in Belfast, Ireland it took 2 years and more than 10,000 workers to build what was, at the time, the world's largest ocean liner.

Personal Restoration Renovation and Conservation: What Does it Mean?
Personal Restoration Renovation and Conservation: What Does it Mean? Last week I announced a new series...or journey...a "Personal Restoration, Renovation, and Conservation" project.

If You Want to Rise (A Soul Mending Society Post)
If you want to rise... It has been awhile since I've written a Soul Mending Society post and figured it was about time.
