What a wonderful evening…
a warm and heartfelt thank you to @miamicityballet CMO @ragingyogi for inviting me to fill in for @rg31 as her date… and motivating me to actually make myself presentable and go out on a Friday night.
Well worth the effort, the Miami City Ballet Company is a “don’t miss” for sure!

TRUST Simplified...
TRUST is different from most things we earn. It is highly valued, but it can’t be bought, sometimes shared, but that window closes quickly when overused as it often is. It must be earned, but cannot be sold. Its lifespan will be as long as you are willing to nurture, respect, and care for it. IMHO trust has a way of earning its own value and maintaining its own lifespan. Those who seek it, and want to keep it, have to live with that reality.
“REAL trumps PERFECT… because REAL creates TRUST.”
