Keeping On
“There are moments in our lives, as individuals and as institutions, when we grow weary of the work to which we’re called. The biggest challenge I’ve faced in my own advocacy isn’t the critics or the skeptics, the frustration of politics, or even that so many we’ve loved – some of whom would have been here tonight – have passed away. The greatest challenge, I think, is the need to keep making a difference as the years accumulate.
It’s hard to keep making a difference.”
From “To Rest Our Souls” a speech given by Mary Fisher

I think the fact that making a difference in the world is always your paramount focus is what makes your life so gorgeous. Most people do not share this drive and your example is so inspiring and your leadership is admired so gratefully.
Making a difference is what life is all about. I have been a nurse for 45 years, still work as a nurse practitioner and hope I have made a difference in many lives
