Leaving work tonight & reflecting on how honored I am to have purpose, & to have the opportunity to contribute to something meaningful. Truly an honor. I’ve slowed my social media activity, but I’m still here, each day, every day, with a will to make a difference. MERS Goodwill

Sharing a “new school year message” as a now retired educator of 36 years. I always enjoyed doing this and I still have plenty to say. Follow my FB link if you care to read my words. Regardless, I hope everyone finds the beauty in their new school year. 💙 facebook.com/share/p/eV1sNU…
