I am putting together slides for an upcoming event so I am going back through quotes from interviews that we conducted with our clients a while back. Some of the things said in these interviews have really stuck me (for the second or third time). Here are a few of their quotes.

@Casey_Stringer9 I feel attacked.

@PaulGarretson I’m so glad I’ll be working from home on Friday.

[Christi Garretson @c_garretson95]

@emily_c_brown Okay, but once you get past mile 8/9 it really doesn’t make a huge difference. Especially on race day!!

I mean, obviously there is a lot of factors there but usually by about 8 you hit a stride and the remaining miles aren’t that bad!

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

I don’t even know where to begin with what we need to learn from this situation with Josh Duggar. If you haven’t paid attention to updates, you should, because it is a glaring example of the problems we have in our legal system, and especially in conservative culture.

Only buying Kraft Mayo from now on. 😂

@jess_taylor_93 I know literally nothing about this from a cultural perspective but I am a firm believer that no one—not one person—should touch pickles. Ever.

[Christi Garretson @c_garretson95]

@jess_taylor_93 People are still out and about in Memphis. We live on a main road and have been watching people FLY by all day. 😶

We’ve also heard sirens more than a few times today. The two may have something to do with each other.

today’s the last day a woman has never been vice president

[Christi Garretson @c_garretson95]

@clawson_830 I do this too. 😂

[Jessica Markwood @jessmarkwood]

Your vote is a potentially powerful tool you use once every few years.

Your time & money are EXTREMELY powerful tools you use every day.

If you actually want change, make your schedule & bank statement look more like your Twitter rants.

Today will be Brandon Bernard's last. No matter what crime a person has committed, the act of taking a healthy, breathing, conscious, aware being, strapping him down and snuffing out his life with a lethal injection, is a stain on us all. We must learn to be better than this.

@alyssadenaekee @jess_taylor_93 To be fair, that was sophomore year.

[Matthew Soerens @MatthewSoerens]

Last week, @JoeBiden re-affirmed his commitment to setting a resettlement ceiling of 125,000 refugees

That's not historically high: Presidents Carter, Reagan & G.H.W. Bush all set higher ceilings

But it would be a 956% increase over last year's arrivals

@SpaghettiMike @clawson_830 Literally already did 😂

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

[Christi Garretson @c_garretson95]

Oh buddy. This really puts into perspective how significant today is for women and girls all across the nation.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Now this.

[Christi Garretson @c_garretson95]

@emily_c_brown YEESSSS. This is what I’ve been thinking about the whole campaign. The current policies have been packaged as “as long as its legal” while in reality the goal has been to make it completely impossible to immigrate, even legally.

[Rachel Paige @rachmeetsworld]

@elanie_caitlyn Just needed a change of pace from the leggings I’ve worn the rest of the week. 🤷🏼‍♀️
