Mentors

I had to share with you all that I lost a mentor of mine this past December. Her words of encouragement and wisdom still ring in my ears. I am so thankful that Dr. Barbara Brunworth was a part of my life. She was an inspiration to many people, including myself and will always be missed.

I also just found out today that someone I admired and respected on the radio, Tom Dooley, passed away this past fall. I had no idea. I just remembered what an encourager he was as I listened to him early in the morning when I would get ready for work. I still remember the joy and happiness in his voice...how he reminded me to be thankful for today, to let go of negativity, forgive those who hurt you, pray for those around you. I was fortunate to hear him speak and meet him. He was just a happy, uplifting person doing God's work. I know he is missed by many as well.

As I reflect on the mentors that have been a part of my life, I am reminded again to not only be thankful for today but to reach out and let others know how important they are in my life.

I love the quote, "Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why we call it 'The Present'" — Eleanor Roosevelt

I just wanted to share that... :)
