Summer is upon us...

"Light be the earth upon you, lightly rest."
---Euripides

Summer Break is upon us...and believe it or not, the 2018-19 academic year is complete.

With the advent of Summer comes the excitement of what may unfold. Visions of lazy days by the pool, relaxing on the couch with a good book, or slipping into a dark, cool movie theater in the heat of the day abound! For some of you, travel is in the works. Many of you will head off to visit family and friends, while others will head to foreign lands for more exotic adventures. Many of you will stay right here, and take advantage of being at home, enjoying the comforts of a slower pace, and a "less congested" Miami. Whatever your plans are, I do hope you'll find time to disconnect from work or your regular routine, pause, and make a deliberate effort to stop, and sincerely enjoy a break. Summertime provides a natural pause to the busy cycle of our lives and, for me personally, a wonderful time in which to be extra conscious of the many blessings in my life.

And so, as we head into the Summer, whether you are near or far, I do hope you'll find time to rest, revive, and find meaningful moments. Whatever you do, please know how grateful I am for your continued support and I wish you a most wonderful, blessed, and happy Summer!
