What the world needs more than sympathy and empathy is compassion. Sympathy: I'm sorry you're in pain Empathy: I feel your pain Compassion: I'll do whatever I can to alleviate your pain You don't have to feel other people's feelings. You just have to care about their feelings.

Blattman GT parents are one of a kind! I appreciate how they value and support the work we do in ALPHA! I also ❤️ the random emails showing what they are doing at home! It’a a perfect reminder that these kiddos still need this program! **Look at that Kanban board!**😍 #whyGT

Tonight (April 7), if you look up at the night sky, you'll see the #SuperPinkMoon, the largest supermoon of 2020. The #fullmoon will be at perigee-syzygy, meaning it will be closest to Earth—roughly 220,000 miles away—and the Earth, moon, and sun will all align.
