"As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has - or ever will have - something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression."  

                                              - Fred Rogers  

 
Wow. Can you imagine how the world would be if every child and adult felt valuable and if we encouraged one another to bring our best selves and unique talents into the world?

Idealistic? Yes. Impossible? No. A stretch? Yes. But it's really not that big a stretch for each of us to do this individually.

Let's choose to do the job described by Fred Rogers as best we can. We'll all be greatly enriched in love, joy, and peace.

Truly,
Charlene
