Good morning my DU family,

As we journey through life, we have so many chances to influence others by our example and choices.

The thing I have to remember, and I say it often enough in conversations, is that all I can do is offer. What someone does with that information, kindness, suggestion or affirmation is entirely up to them and I have to be perfectly ok with that.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to give our best to this day and to those we encounter, without expectations or judgement. Only with hope and love should our offerings be presented.

Have a beautiful day DU, wherever it finds you.
Love, John
