WORDS OF WISDOM

This quote was sent to me by my colleague Carrie Portis. I think it really speaks to all of us in terms of how we can often judge people by one thing they have done.

Bryan Stevenson (Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption),

"Each of us is more than the worst thing we have ever done."

My thoughts and best wishes are with you in this challenging time.

Thanks so much for the very important work that you do every day!
