Stand For What?
(This content first appeared as a Bublish book bubble.)
There comes a time in our life, whether we want it or not, when we’re faced with a choice. We can attempt retreat. We can try to step aside. We can plead for compromise. We can give up and surrender. Or we can stand.

Dark Shadow
(This content first appeared as a Bublish book bubble.)
In times of unspeakable stress and danger, even while a part of you wants desperately to come unhinged from breathless fear, it is imperative to keep your wits about you.
