Future plans

In just a week and a half I will have the great honor of attending a great friend's wedding. In fact, I am in the wedding. I am so excited for her. I hear ya'll out there snickering at the irony - a divorce lawyer excited about a friend's wedding! But of course, I am. She is thrilled and so am I. I see my work as a service to others and really a privilege. Unfortunately in my line of work I am meeting with people in despair and sometimes in crisis. But the good news is very often I am lucky enough to run into old clients a few months or years down the road and outlook is sunnier. I sure appreciate all the people who have allowed me to help support and guide them through their problems and wish for all of them only positive futures.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Fourth of July - It is a time to remember the freedom we enjoy is a privilege and to give thanks to those who have and are still fighting to preserve this freedom.

Lyndon B. Johnson said,"The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends. It should be a place where each individual's dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaction and warmth which comes from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilization. It is what we seek today."

Let's hope and pray that one day we will evolve into that community. What we can do for now is for each of us to do our own part each and every day.

Have a Safe Holiday.
