 I had this really powerful conversation today about what people say vs. what their actions say. I was telling this person that the way someone treats people is far more powerful than what they say. Actions speak louder than words.

I feel very strongly that you can judge someone’s character effectively in this way.  It was a nice reminder to be thoughtful of my own actions and how I want to represent my character. There is always room for improvement.

We had another successful day at our conference. I spent time with several different people and was given great ideas that I am excited to share with our group that I am hoping can continue to improve our system and make a difference.

I had two margaritas at two different facilities and enjoyed each one for different reasons. Yum! These are like my dessert. Yum!

When I got back to my room, I got sucked into a show that was just ON the tv when I walked in, about cellular memory for organ transplant recipients. It is such an interesting phenomenon! There is story after story after story. Of course, I think of Ethan with his hugging after surgery. His desire to eat certain foods that he had never had an interest in before transplant. 

Avery officially moved into her dorm today. She was tired but I think she is so excited to be with her current group. I can’t wait to see how she navigates living with multiple people at one time. I am ready to watch her grow and to hear about all the fun she is going to have.

I am excited for tomorrow and hope that all my traveling aligns well. If so, I should be rolling in around midnight. Fingers crossed!
