Thought of the Month In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet.

But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you. They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it!

Some will test you. Some will use you. Some will love you. Some will teach you.

“If you can’t get a seat at the table, make your own table.” Jena Antonucci after becoming the first female trainer to win the Belmont Stakes
