I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.

I thought I would share..

We’ve had disapproving looks, ‘we are full’, ‘is that your wife’ and many more actions questioning our relationship over the last 40+yrs

We haven't wavered!

The best way of fighting racism is living your life, standing tall and educating. #Diversity

My favorite thing about children with #autism is their honesty.. A student told me today, "your hair is crazy but it's cute!" 😂💙 #lovemyjob

[DBates @dbates529]

One concept I will absolutely instill in my children is to be always grateful and never wasteful!
