Grab your tissues and read this!
How one woman helped to create, even if briefly and even if only for a few, the world most of us want to live in.
Isn’t this worth emulating?

Shrink not back in the face of adversity.
For in facing the fire we are forged stonger.
Hold to your compassion in the face of insanity.
For to do otherwise is to follow the path the insane travelled.
Resist not the forces of evil.
For to do so is to become evil.
Instead, advocate freedom.
For it is restriction that binds, lessens, inhibits and weakens.
Focus steadfastly on your goal.
Redouble the purpose you have that is to help.
Let obstacles not thwart you.
Let distractions not divert you.
Hold firm the edges that mark the borders of your forward progress.
Pour the coals on your purpose.
Be fearless in your living of life.
Because you are immortal and indestructible.
It is only your body that perishes, not you.

This is well worth three minutes of your time. – “A photograph is shaped more by the person behind the camera than by what is in front of it.” And so it is in life. You grace life with the life you give it. You endow your family, friends and associates and your environment by the life with which you endow it. May you endow grace, beauty, strength, skill, competence. courage, compassion, kindness, charity, honesty, integrity, ethics and energy.
