We all have it. A little a voice inside that tries to hold us back. Are you ready to stop listening to yours and let your light shine bright?

Man Teaches Amputees in South Sudan to Make Arms

“When you look at a picture of a boy with bandaged stump arms, what do you do? Do you just, ‘Aw that’s too bad,” and close the computer and go to bed?”

Not Mick Ebeling. What an amazing man. What an inspiring mission. What a powerful reminder of what we can do when we care.
