As we honor and prepare to celebrate the birthday and enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr . , I am reminded that his message was never meant to remain in history books or commemorative speeches. His life was a living invitation, a call to choose love, forgiveness, and nonviolence not as ideas or strategies, but as a way of life. This reflection is deeply personal for me. Many years ago, while running my own event management company, I had the honor and privilege of

As we step into a new year, many of us are filled with anticipation of new goals, fresh possibilities, and quiet hopes for what is ahead.

It is your signature in the world.
