Birthdays…
We recognize them, we celebrate them, and sometimes we dread them. We should celebrate every day we are alive, birthday or otherwise…

Behind what we see lies a unique, beautiful story. Everyone has one. What chapter are you currently writing?
Driven…
Whatever you get excited about, do more of that. The world needs driven people who are trying to do good. As for me, I’m just trying to spread some kindness, compassion and humor into a world in desperate need of it…
Oxymorons…

Memorial Day…
Memorial Day is a Remembrance Day established in 1868 that officially became a holiday in 1971. We are called to remember the brave men and women who died while serving our country in the military.

So however you are spending the day, with family and friends, barbecuing or on the lake, I encourage you to take a moment at 3:00 to pause and reflect. We must #neverforget…
