Happy August, beautiful people! I hope you are having an amazing summer. It’s not over yet, although back-to-school activities, preseason football games, and the release of the NBA 2026- 2027 schedule are popping into my Instagram feed. We’re about to experience a change in seasons.
While Summer is winding down (hot weather not withstanding) and Autumn is approaching, let me tell you what is not changing. My friendships!
I have been blessed with some amazing friends who show up whenever I need them. All it takes is a text message or a phone call, and they stand ready to help. Yvonne, Carolyn, Connie, Jerryn, Venessa and others, thank you for being available this summer with your hands, head, and heart. You showed me that truly there ain’t no mountain high enough!
And then there are my friends who made themselves available to pour into our GPS mentees. Mike Hyter and Anne Chow, y’all showed out in your respective sessions. You left us inspired and ready to take on whatever is next. You made us better!
Anne said something that I can’t stop thinking about. As she talked about wisdom gained from her father she shared, “To be good, you must do good, for good.” I am taking this thought with me as I continue to highlight “the good stuff” that people are up to. Good stuff like what is happening at Ruthie’s Cafe. The place is amazing. The food is delicious. The story is life changing.
There are remarkable human beings on this earth who are doing good, for good. May you be inspired by all the goodness that surrounds us! Feel free to share some good stuff!
