In Honor of MLK, Jr.


January 20, 2020
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States, I offer you this beautiful Washington Post article on the value of giving to others. This particular passage tugged at my heart, “We crave wealth, overspend and end up broke. We desire attention but end up alone. We sprint toward what we want and away from what we need.” Highly recommend you read it on this national holiday. How can you draw joy from helping others?
