“Our hope for creative living in this world house that we have inherited lies in our ability to reestablish the moral ends of our lives in personal character and social justice.” #mlk

“When scientific power outruns moral power, we end up with guided missiles and misguided men.“
#mlk

“We must work passionately and indefatigably to bridge the gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress. One of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance.”
#mlk

…. But today our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.” #mlk

“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of the status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions….

“Nothing could be more tragic than for men to live in these revolutionary times and fail to achieve the new attitudes and the new mental outlooks that the new situation demands.” #mlk

I hope this new year brings you moments of wonder and joy—wonder to stay curious, ask questions, and imagine what’s possible, and joy to remind you why we do this work: to make a difference for one another and for those we serve.

Make 2025 a year of impact, one day at a time.

#opportunity #impact

Start each day in 2025 with a commitment to make your contributions matter. Notice the opportunities around you, and take time to appreciate the people who make this journey meaningful.

Every small choice, every shared moment, builds a future filled with promise.

Alberto Ríos puts it beautifully: “What we bring, finally, into the new day, every day, is ourselves. And that’s all we need to start.”

We don’t need perfect plans or all the answers to move forward. We simply need to show up, ready to make a difference. That’s how possibility begins.

Opportunity doesn’t wait for resolutions—it thrives in the choices we make every day. It’s in the decision to approach a problem with curiosity or to share an idea that sparks something new. These moments, though they may feel small, create a ripple that shapes success.

#leadership

When we pause to notice the opportunities we have and the beauty that lies in the work we do, we create space for fulfillment and meaning in our lives.

Always remember—what we appreciate, appreciates.

Gratitude is a powerful force—it builds trust, strengthens relationships, and sustains a culture where we thrive together. And, gratitude doesn’t need to be grand to be meaningful—it just needs to be sincere.

As leaders, showing appreciation is the most powerful way we can shine a light on the contributions of those we support and lead. Whether solving challenges behind the scenes or creating systems that shape the future, every member of our team plays a role in building a culture where we all thrive.
