Practice the global locally

How we define local is up to us. Michael Jackson said he was starting with the man in the mirror. Mother Teresa wrote, “Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.” However we do it, we must attend to our inward lives before we can make a difference to the rest of the world.

Lessons from the Class of 2016

Never underestimate the power of students. They will rise to your expectations. 

Pay love forward. When you are lucky enough to be made to feel loved, make sure that everyone around you is that lucky as well. That is a power we all possess.

I believe in a thing called love

I believe in the power of love to make the world a better place. I believe in Madeleine Sophie’s words, "Let your heart be more attentive than your head, for the Holy Spirit is love, and to take hold, it is more important to love than to understand.” I believe in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s words, "love last longer. And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love." I believe in Mother Teresa’s words, “Love has to be put into action and that action is service.”  I believe in Cornel West’s words, "justice is what love looks like in public.” I only hope that my actions speak loud and proud to the strength of my love. As William Penn said, “Let us then try what love will do.”
