Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeletePassion
I like the quote you picked from Raymond. I feel the same way. I do feel that I am making a difference in the community I work in.
Hey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteJanet Gonzalez-Mena has so many important things to say! I love the quotes you chose! The second one you posted about following instead of leading is something that I really took to heart. I learn so much from my little leaders and appreciate all of the new things they teach ME on a daily basis!
