Hail! Hail! 2014

Today we smile upon young people.  We celebrate the new folk – let them know they were meant to be here; salute them for what they have achieved; encourage them for the hard work ahead; and, show some love from the family.  Today, they strut, they walk, they let you know they’re here, they roll, and they matriculate.

Hey Class of 2014! Get us jazzed with your search for your dreams and the way you find and live your passions.  Some of you, vying for the heart of the Class, have tossed in 24,000 hours of service. Continue to inspire us.

You’ve been on a long journey.  Today, celebrate!  Continue to take your deep breaths and listened to the bray of your hearts. Don’t just listen to the vibe, make it. Congratulations 2014.

I offer words from one of my mentors: joy, beauty, and kindness to you – surround yourself with beauty; may joy walk beside you; and, let kindness guide you.

Peace.
