What a wonderful world it would be if all of us lived those same values with every breath we take. It starts with each one of us every day . . . when we look in the mirror in the morning, as we face the challenges throughout the day, and as we lay our head on our pillow at night and reflect back on the day . . . did we always respond with love . . . .
