Happy MLK Day to all,
Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Some have coined the phrase "a day on not a day off". I'm sure Dr. King would appreciate all using this day to serve others, but today I have mixed emotions about it. I will treat this day as "A day of Reflection." Reflection is to a fixation on something and to take careful consideration of someone of something. I will spend the day in reflection on the sacrifices of not only Dr. King, his wife, and his family. I can't help but think of everything that he went through during the Civil Rights Movement, just the thought of your life being threatened everyday and still he persevered through it all. Today, can you take some time to reflect on the sacrifices of Dr. King and are you working to improve your community in order to be remembered as Dr. King. I truly hope so.

In Peace and Love,
