Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to "jump at de sun." We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground....So the next time you find yourself surrounded in a mist, it's best not to forget that the sun is still there waiting for you to jump toward it.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Margaret Mead

Build You Better
