i. Every person has been placed in my life for a reason, whether they be a passerby, long term friend, short term acquaintance, family, teacher or lover.

ii. Sometimes you meet someone and you are immediately kindred spirits, you go together like coffee and cream or fireflies on a sultry summer evening. Other friendships take warmth, water and time to blossom. There are also people that you will never understand. Despite the efforts, conversation may always be awkward and personalities will continually clash.

iii. Relationships still count and are important

iv. Long conversations, harsh words, laughter, miscommunications, instruction, adventures, tears shed, smiles exchanged and words unspoken, every person past and present has had a hand in shaping who I am today.

v. People come into our lives for moments. In the present it is unforeseeable years but people exist   for moments captured in the hour glass of time and the panoramic picture of life. Instead of savoring we race ahead dreaming of  something sweeter. Remember the importance of right now.

vi. Each individual has a lasting impression. You have the chance to leave an unforgettable inspiration.

vii. speak truth more. love more. care more. listen more. support more.

         because every person matters. you don't know how you

                                might impact someone.

(I need to tell myself this daily)
