FIND YOUR WINGS

“I pray that God would fill you heart with dreams.

And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things.

I’m here for you whatever this life brings.

So let my love give you roots.  And help you find your wings.” –

 Find Your Wings sung by Mark Harris

If you know me well, you know that my life revolves around my special needs son. Born with autism, cerebral palsy and a host of other disabilities, Parker is my pride and joy. His very survival and perseverance are the “daring to do great things” this inspirational hit mentions.

 Written by Christian singer Mark Harris as a tribute to his two children, this song has the potential to speak to every parent or educator about the hopes and dreams they have for the children in their lives.

During the workweek I send out, potentially, hundreds of emails. I work for a nonprofit organization that employees over 70,000 people and my department has the opportunity to touch each of those individuals.

At the close of each email I post a quote from my collection of favorites. I change the quote on my outgoing work email messages once every three days. In 2018, there were 20 email messages that drew positive feedback from my coworkers. I have collected those quotes and ranked them based upon amount of feedback into the top 20 for the year. These are quotes that inspired my colleagues, moved them or made them laugh.

This inspired lyric from the inspirational song soared to #17 on the list of the most popular quotes of the year.
