Let’s stop pushing the notion that you have to give so much of yourself to your work until there is nothing left in order to be successful. It’s time to start prioritizing self care and wellness. #Nonprofits #workplace

Two powerful and inspiring #JaneGoodall quotes.
“Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved."
"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
She was the best of us.
