An Entourage of Encourage

"Surround yourself with encouragers. Sometimes you need another positive perspective to recognize the limits you place on yourself." -- Lou Holtz

Recently I had breakfast with a friend who thrived at State Farm, then dabbled briefly in pharmaceutical sales and won a major award as a new rep. In addition to running distance races, leading her daughter's Brownie troop and volunteering at a hospital, she plays a major role in Leadership McLean County and is a devoted mother, wife and child. She's had many hardships but to talk with her, wouldn't be able to tell from her personality that she'd been victimized by anything. These are the types of people that I've said are "the type of infection that deserve no cure."
