Life by the yard is hard; by the inch it's a cinch. Decisions Determine Destiny.

It is our solemn duty, our precious privilege-even our sacred opportunity-to welcome to our homes and to our hearts the children who grace our lives.

How you speak and the words you use tell much about the image you choose to portray. Use language to build and uplift those around you.
