Lyndon Johnson said, “There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few we can solve by ourselves.” I am continually amazed at the power and impact of community as it comes together to tackle a task. A case in point - - as of Sunday, 106 COH units…probably representing almost 300 plus COHers, have come together to commit a total of $365,000 of their resources toward the Growing Hope campaign. Wow!!! This is one powerful statement!

I recently read that the average person talks to himself or herself thousands of times a day. The article also noted that much of that self-talk is negative. “You’re so stupid!”  “Why can’t you do anything right? You’ll never get a break. You’ll never succeed. You don’t have a chance. You’ll never change.” These words reinforce what we believe about ourselves, and they influence the actions we take.
