Flags flown at half-mast, freeways are packed with cars, the soothing strains of trumpets from the local high school marching band travel through the streets, and thousands of proud soldiers and veterans proudly decked out in their ironed uniforms, berets, pins and medals. It’s Memorial Day.
I am over the moon with excitement! After eagerly anticipating our baby boy for nine months, Sherly and I drove down to the hospital at around 10 PM Friday night, and 26 hours later we were blessed to welcome our little baby boy into the world. Thank you for your support and prayers.
A random act of kindness is a seemingly small deed, but its impact? Infinite. Thoughtful acts of kindness affect the giver, the receiver and the community around them. Not just for the duration of the act, but for some time after. The intentions of these gestures spark inspiration for others to perform similar acts and be part of a world changing cycle which is infinite too.
Our mothers put their family’s needs before their own, and dedicate themselves to their families. Let’s give back.
I have some exciting news to share! This year, my birthday happens to fall on the same day as Yom Ha'atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day). This is the day that commemorates Israel’s declaration of independence and is the one national holiday where the entire country goes into the party spirit. The streets in every city are filled with live entertainment, incredible fireworks and colorful food trucks including cotton candy and corn on the cob. It is a day of abundant joy that can be felt all across this beautiful country. What a way to celebrate!
