1. Daily email I signed up for… You may have seen billboards along highways with inspirational quotes that are posted by Pass It On. I’ve always enjoyed them. Turns out that they have a website where you can find all of them. I also signed up to get daily emails from them with one of…
1. Something I reflected on this week… The events of September 11th, 2001, rocked everyone. We all remember exactly where we were that day. This week, I found myself thinking about the 2,977 people who died on that day… the 2,753 at the World Trade Center, the 184 that died in the crash at the…
