It's Friday and my head is spinning because of the amazing week I've just experienced teaching at Louisiana Correctional Institute for Women along with Dr. Rhonda Kelley. I took the photo above to show the beautiful flowers that grace the prison grounds with the barbed wire fences in the background! The flowers are an analogy for the women we encountered . . . beautiful spirits despite the setting they are in. I don't want to forget them; what a privilege we had in teaching them!
