Determination: The Tree of Life!


"When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious."

Edna O'Brien
Irish Author


It seems appropriate to listen to the Irish on St. Patrick's Day and this quote is all the more fitting at a time when we struggle to regain our economic footing.

Ferociously tenacious.

Maybe the best of all qualities to exhibit as we move on to the next level.
