Surround ourselves with people who inspire us and who we aspire to be like. They’ll lift us up as much as we support them.
For both of us, it’s not the results, it’s the lessons along the way. We’ll learn, we’ll grow.
Special shout out to Paster Steve Stone who’s at Parkland, Florida today speaking to the students and community at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Send them our love, tell them we stand tall with them.
Remember: Always err on the side of love & kindness.
Love & Gratitude,
