Expect Good Things
Day 235 “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.” – Abraham Lincoln Writing about the Olympic Creed reminded me of something I read long ago – an optimist’s creed.

Rohtak to Rio
Day 231 “You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all – the race to the egg.

Like I said in yesterday’s post, children need support and encouragementContinueContinue reading “Got Your Back”
Unstoppable
Day 227 “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances.

Role Models
Day 226 “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.” – James Baldwin Follow your bliss. I believe that’s what we’re all here to do, but figuring out what that is might be the most challenging part. Once you have figured out what you’re passionate about, you are naturallyContinueContinue reading “Role Models”
Kindness Is King
