Do, offer, think

"When we can we should always do more, offer more, think more, and make our bit of the world as big and full as we can for our kids. Our kid's lives get bigger and better when our thinking gets bigger and better."

—Deb Lewis

Every choice you make should be made consciously, thoughtfully, for real and good reasons.
