“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” ~ Dr. Maya Angelou

This simple but important piece of advice is one I carry with me. Every person chooses their own path. Some people choose to act in mean-spirited, unkind and destructive ways. Others choose a life of service, kindness and community. This has nothing to do with me. My only area of influence is to remain clear on my own values and intentionally choose who I let into my circle.
