I believe in being kind. I have a little card on the wall of my office that says “always choose kindness”, and I try to live that out every day. Does that mean I’m always kind? No, because I am a flawed human being who makes mistakes, gets frustrated, and can unintentionally be unkind. But I try – every day.

Kindness is all around me, and I wanted to send a shout-out to my colleagues in our Agriculture Sciences and Culinary Programs.
They launched their new Farm-to-Table program with “Seed to Supper” last week. Sadly for me, I had to miss it for health reasons.
Today, out of nowhere, I received a beautiful basket of fresh veggies (carrots, artichoke, onions, etc.) and a lovely vase of flowers.


Aren’t they kind?
Always choose kindness – take it from me, it is greatly appreciated.
