As we reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day, we ask that you respect not only the sacrifice but the journey of the service members we honor. And today, the Friday before we recognize that sacrifice with the designation of National Poppy Day. Take a moment to read In Flanders Fields written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, M.D. while serving on the front line in World War I, to honor soldiers killed in battle.

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
–Lt. Col. John McCrae

Happy International Women's Day! 💜

Today, I want to share a story about the significance of valuing what some people might consider insignificant - the dime. Growing up, my mom saved every dime she could, and it wasn't until years later that I realized she was using them to save for our Christmas gifts and to make donations to the church. She lived a life of service, no matter the sacrifice, and I learned to respect that little coin that most people forget.

Let me ask you how many of you are in this room if I gave the choice between 10 dimes and a dollar bill which one would you take? I'm guessing many of you might take the dollar bill. Why? Maybe it's the perception that a dollar bill has more prestige or maybe it's even easier to carry.

As I developed myself personally and professionally, I made it a purpose to live like a dime and get the same respect as a dollar. From volunteering my time as a mom on a limited budget to utilizing every resource I had as a small business owner, I learned to allocate investments appropriately and build sustainable strategies that drive success without waste.

Some might say this approach is overrated or that I work too hard to maximize the impact of that small dime. But I have proven that when we pay attention to the small things and maximize their value, the forces are far more significant than that of a single dollar bill.

So today, I encourage you to live like a dime and see the impact it can make in your personal and professional life. 💰💪
