My 3 daily non-negotiables:
1. Move my body
2. Work on something meaningful
3. Express gratitude
If I do those 3 consistently, everything else magically falls into place.

My favorite quote from Dr. King:
“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

Three years ago tonight I witnessed my grandfather take his last breath and transition from this life. I think about him often- his kindness, his decency, his optimism for our country, his love of family, his care for those less fortunate . We need more people like George HW Bush
