We Rise By Lifting Each Other

Today is National First Responders Day. Thank you to those who choose every day to help others.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day. Chief Joseph (1840-1904) was a leader of the Wal-lam-wat-kain (Wallowa) band of Nez Perce, a tribe from the interior Pacific Northwest. When the United States forcibly removed the tribe from their lands in Oregon to a reservation in the Idaho territory, Chief Joseph resisted. After his eventual surrender, Chief Joseph traveled the country, giving speeches about the injustices inflicted on his people and hoping they could return to their lands.

Today is National Inner Beauty Day. Let is shine by doing something beautiful for someone else.

As many of us relax today, take a moment to remember the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements in the United States. What can we continue to do to improve our world for everyone?
