To Do in honor: How many of you have seen the Northern Lights? For those of you who have seen them, will know that it is indeed a magnificent sight to see. When you first see it, you aren't quite sure what you are seeing but then it dawns on you. For those who have not seen them, make an effort to watch out for it. You will not be disappointed at all. To invoke the presence of the Valkyries this week, do something that you consider to brave of you to do. This can be anything because this can vary for all of us. Share your experiences here if you want to!!
