Remember, you’re growing a person, not fixing a problem. - L.R. Knost

The strength of a nation rests on its future, and its future rests in the hands of its children. True strength is forged in gentleness, guided by wisdom, and steeped in peace. Growing the next generation with gentleness, wisdom, and peace begins by recognizing that we are citizens of the world, that every human matters, and that our children learn how to treat the world by how we treat them. To be a nation at peace, we must treat all humans peacefully and raise peaceful humans. The only path to peace is peace.

Leave a trail of light behind you
Everywhere you go.
Whose darkness you'll illuminate
You may never know.

Forgiving ourselves and learning from our inevitable mistakes transforms failure from a stumbling block into a stepping stone.
