Are you the same person you were in High School? Patty and Lisa rallied some of their remarkable girlfriends and friends from High School for some candid conversations. Where are they now? What have they overcome? What has made the difference? We may graduate high school but we should graduate from living life.

The “stranger” could be any one, including us! Today we talked with 5 remarkable people who welcomed and embraced someone new and it radically changed their lives for the better. Our discussions ranged from reaching and befriending refugee families to adoption of children outside the US to welcoming someone from their own family. Some of the take away: step outside your comfort zone, see who’s around you and their needs, be willing to sacrifice, and be an advocate for someone. There was a lot of love and good will going around!
