The Rise of Delicacy

“You have got to get up every morning with determination if you are going to go to bed with satisfaction.”

- George Horace Lorimer

One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.
