Become Better...


Don't try to become better than someone else, become better than you used to be. Tom Venuto

We have spent the last week at home, staying warm from the snow and ice.  Now it's time to renew our commitment to ourselves and self improvement! Remember think of where you will be one year from now, if you started TODAY! 
How are you becoming better?
 
"People discover that by helping others, even when they themselves are suffering, they end up improving their own lives"- Arianna Huffington
