Be courageous!

Knowledgeably Compassionate!
Sometimes, we share what’s in our hearts, other times it’s what’s in our heads. Today, I choose to take a minute to implore you to have a heart full of love, with ears open to listen and hands willing to help. The most important asset is not a head full of knowledge. What’s the…
