“It’s time.
It’s time to move beyond the lost cause
and embrace the righteous cause.
We can be more than just
the capital of the Confederacy.
It’s time for us to be
the capital of compassion.”
~ Levar Stoney, Mayor of Richmond VA

“It’s not easy to pledge yourself to a cause.
Duty is like armor.
It’s heavy, and it’s not always comfortable.
It’s a promise to yourself to do what’s right.
When your courage is tested, remain calm.
Remember why you started.
Then run as fast as you can toward the fight,
knowing that no matter how it ends,
you’ve stayed true to your cause and yourself.
Loyalty and bravery, combined,
are greater than any super-power.”
~ Pamela Bobowicz

the center of the universe,
a lot of people will be disappointed
