Impacting Others Along The Way
I had a friend say to me the other day “I don’t know what my legacy will be? How I will be remembered when I am gone?” Most of us wonder about the same thing. Why are we put here on this earth? It is not just about having your name on a building or having viral videos or posts on the internet or sending rockets to the moon, To me it is about in how you interact with and have an impact on the people around you. Your legacy can be found in the impact you made by reaching out to others even just one other person because if you impact that person’s life for the better it can have a cascading effect.
I would like to share some of my experiences in mentoring and reaching out to others and how it comes back to you in ways you never would have dreamed of thereby enriching your own life as well. By sharing those experiences we continue to enrich each other’s lives and inspire others to do the same.

So Many Dreams Deferred
Sometimes you look into the eyes of children you see a sense of hopelessness, fear, or just confusion. It could be about their current situation, their past or not seeing a difference between the two because they have never been taught or allowed to dream. Dreams awaken us to the possibilities of what life could be and sometimes it is… Read More
