INSPIRATION…and a book recommendation.

Dear Ones —

I wanted to share this story about David Menasche, a passionate and gifted English teacher who — after he was diagnosed with brain cancer — set out on a road trip across America to visit as many of his former students as he could, to see if he had made an impact in their lives.

He wrote a book about his journey, called "The Priority List", which I highly recommend (there's a quote from me on the cover) because I found it so beautiful and moving. You can see the book here:

My favorite line of David's is this: "I wasn't afraid to die. I was afraid of living without a purpose."

Amen.

Heart,
LG
