🤔 Reflection
I spent my weekend in DC supporting Mano members at the Marine Corps Marathon.

Marathons are one of my favorite events to attend.

You’re surrounded by people in great moods, doing hard things, and accomplishing what they once thought they couldn’t.

Every time, it reminds me that progress only happens when you keep moving forward.

It sounds simple and maybe even cliché, but it’s true.

Whatever your “marathon” is this week, keep going. One step at a time still gets you there.

Let’s have a week!
