Hello All, it's Friday, April 3rd , 2026. I pray you have a beautiful Easter weekend. If you have a choice to be right or to be kind, Be kind and you will be right every time. Oftentimes we want to be right, but we are not kind in our pursuit to be right. Even the smallest acts of kindness can be a lifeline for someone who feels invisible. Your presence matters more than you realize.- Unknown You don't have to know what someone is going through to be kind. The reason why some people are kind is because the world has been so unkind to them that they don't want other people to feel the way they did. - Inspirology How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it.- Elliston Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.-Mother Teresa Reminder: The world is full of kind people. If you can't find one! Be one! -Unknown - Love EduQuita  LaQuita Burden BSN RN NBH Clinical Educator, Manager Norton Brownsboro Hospital

Personally and professionally

Sometimes April showers don’t bring May flowers. Sometimes… they bring heaviness. A quiet kind of exhaustion. A sense that growth, change, or even hope feels like too much when life is already full—of responsibilities, complicated relationships, and situations you didn’t choose. If it feels like you’re just trying to get through the day… this book is for you. From Worn Out to WOW offers 10 scientifically grounded and spiritually effective strategies to help you move from feeling depleted to becoming re-engaged with your life and your future. Because hope isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you practice. And positivity isn’t denial… it’s a lifestyle that supports your mental, emotional, and physical health.
