Today is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday.
I’m sure you’re familiar with his famous, “I HAVE A DREAM” speech…(as I type the words I can hear his impassioned voice saying,

DO Better
To BE Better
We aren’t captives to our past. But we are captains of our future and the choices we make each day steer our ship closer to the destiny we choose.Be that instrument of Peace that fills the hearts of those searching for meaning and hope. Don’t let fear, hatred, anger or worry overtake you.
The peace this world needs…begins right here…in you…in me.
