“Acts of kindness come few and far  between for me, but I’ve adopted a point of view that dictates – when an act of kindness is bestowed upon you, the most meaningful thing you can do in return is pay it forward.  And, so I shall.  So, however big or small the gesture turns out to be, together we will contribute to what I suppose could be considered the Universal Good.” – Wilmer Portillo

I am so grateful for the chance I have every day to work with the most appreciative people I know.  It’s a gift.  Kindness and compassion and love – change people and the world.   Vengeance in the form of the death penalty, solitary confinement and overly harsh sentences in inhuman conditions – don’t make us better.

“You’ve taken up the fight to save my life like no other has done – and I never asked you to do it.  You did this on your own, and that warms my heart.” – anonymous

Happy Thanksgiving!
