Thanks to Illens Dort for giving voice to such uplifting messages! Too often we are bombarded with written word that is divisive, perpetuates hatred of oneself or others, or seeks only to entertain. This book of aphorisms celebrates wholesome living by providing memorable thoughts to ponder daily. Great leaders thoughtfully consider their interactions with others (adults or children), eagerly self-reflect, and gratefully share their sources of strength. Illens’ messages in this book reflect a commitment to lead in this way and provide a similar invitation to us all.Stessie D. Zimmerman, MD

What resonates so strongly with me today might be completely different when I read this book again in 6 months or a year.Danielle Norman, MBA Student and Mother of Two
