| f7966d8 | Don't enter the workforce already looking for the exit. Don't put on the brakes. Accelerate. Keep a foot on the gas pedal until a decision must be made. That's the only way to ensure that when that day comes, there will be a real decision to make. | Sheryl Sandberg | ||
| 758b4ca | Grief," she writes, is "a whisper in the world and a clamor within.

| 10071eb | Resilience is not just built in individuals. It is built among individuals--in our neighborhoods, schools, towns, and governments. When we build resilience together, we become stronger ourselves and form communities that can overcome obstacles and prevent adversity. Collective resilience requires more than just shared hope--it is also fueled by shared experiences, shared narratives, and shared power. | Sheryl Sandberg | ||

| 776db7b | At Dave's funeral, I said that if on the day I walked down the aisle with him, someone had told me that we would have only eleven years together, I would still have walked down that aisle. Eleven years of being Dave's wife and ten years of being a parent with him is perhaps more luck and more happiness than I could ever have imagined.
