"There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings."
Hodding Carter Junior (1907-1972)
Simple time spent with my family is a great joy today. It was not ever thus, but we have all grown and changed and sharing laughter over lunch in the sunshine was a timely and humbling reminder of this. As the saying goes, we don't pick our family, but I'm not sure I'd change mine. I would not be who I am today were it not for the love, support and encouragement I continue to receive from two incredibly special human beings I feel proud and privileged to call my family. My education is a testament to my mother's foresight and sacrifice. The doors it has opened and the path I have embarked upon are things for which I feel profound gratitude. From it, I feel both a sense of strong connection to my purpose and tremendous hope, confidence and inspiration.
