After Thoughts

It has been said time heals all wounds.  Time can be for us an ever-present source of hope.  There is in each moment the possibility of a whole world of recovery and personal growth.  Often it is through our compassionate touch of another that this moment is unlocked and nurtured into something more than just a memory. 

The impact we have on others just as often leaves its imprint on us.  Taking time to listen to another's story validates not only the life of the one we are focused upon, but it gives us a moment to share from our own life treasures and embrace something greater than our own struggle.  We thank all of our contributors in this issue who, through their careful choice of words, embraced a greater audience through our journal.

We hope you will consider purchasing a printed copy of this issue for your library or a loved one.  We take pride in our attention to detail by handcrafting each copy of the journal.  We do our own printing and feel that holding an illustrated collection of poetry and prose in one's hands gives the greatest effect when one takes time to read.  Print copies of all the issues of Touch: The Journal of Healing are available through our press, The Lives You Touch Publications.  We appreciate your support.

Thank you, again, and join us in January for our next issue!
