Toxins…
We protect our children from poisonous cleaning supplies by restricting access to the cabinets in our homes. Why do we allow toxic people into our lives? Restrict their access to you. They will remain as they are, yet you will be better…
Reach and Impact…
Every person you meet gives you an opportunity to impact them in a positive way. Try to leave others better than you found them…
Under Construction…
All of us are works in progress. If you aren’t feeling the discomfort of growth, you may be coasting through life. Coasting is okay for brief periods. Yet your destiny awaits…
Speaking of Kindness…

We must turn this around, and fast. It begins with us…
