Quote Of The Day


Understand your value. You’re worth can’t be measured. Just think within the last 10 generations it took over 2000 people to create you. Parents, Grands, Great-Greats etc. If you don’t think that makes you important I don’t know what the Heck does. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not worthy. Too many folks made sacrifices so you could be here. Pick yourself up.
