THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
"Our deepest calling is to grow into our authentic self-hood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be. As we do so, we will not only find the job that every human being seeks - we will also find our path of authentic service in the world."
~Parker Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation
