“WE ARE THE SUM TOTAL OF OUR EXPERIENCES. THOSE EXPERIENCES
– BE THEY POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE – MAKE US THE PERSON WE ARE,
AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN OUR LIVES. AND, LIKE A FLOWING RIVER,
THOSE SAME EXPERIENCES, AND THOSE YET TO COME, CONTINUE
TO INFLUENCE AND RESHAPE THE PERSON WE ARE, AND THE PERSON
WE BECOME. NONE OF US ARE THE SAME AS WE WERE YESTERDAY,
NOR WILL BE TOMORROW.”
B.J. NEBLETT
