CATHY'S CORNER: Celebrating Everyday Heroes

May 27, 2016

“It does not take a great supernatural heroine or magical hero to save the world. We all save it every day, and we all destroy it -- in our own small ways -- by every choice we make and every tiny action resulting from that choice.” Vera Nazarian

 

 

In our busy lives, even as adults, it’s easy to forget that there is more to life than oneself, and that each of us can be a hero simply by giving back and being kind. 

 

That said, I hope you enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and take time out to remember and honor who devote their lives to our freedom, keeping us safe - often while no one else is looking. 

 

While you're at it, please check out all the great local events, art shows, hikes, farmers markets, along with a round-up of parades and local fun runs. Stay safe and enjoy your week ahead. Keep checking for updates! Cathy
