It St Patrick's Day and besides wearing green today I want to share an inspirational quote by an unknown author:  "I say Luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it." Happy St Paddy's Day!

It's Monday,  3/16/2020 and its not business as usual.  It's an uncertain time, an uncertain world, and uncharted territory.   There is  comfort in knowing that you are not alone and as always stay compassionate and kind.   I am reminded of my childhood hero Nelson Mandela who continues to inspire many, long after his passing, with his timeless wisdom.  My favorite go to is: " I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it."  Stay well friends and as always Get to the Top of Your Mountain.  Link to www.raisingkellan.org
