It was bound to happen.  Around 1 am my husband and I were awakened by our young German Shepherd barking in the backyard, within seconds, it was all too obvious just what had peaked her curiosity:  the smell of fresh skunk filled the house!  If you haven’t experienced the unique power of these little creatures, let me tell you…up close and personal is NOT where you want to be! A quick internet search, and a 4 vinegar baths, 2 baths with dish detergent and a creme rinse later… we were snuggled back in bed, laughing at the situation.  Happy with our teamwork!

You never know what situations will arise in every day (or night!) Sometimes the “situation” may stink (literally), but sometimes that situation may be an opportunity that you have been waiting for. It’s not always possible to be prepared for things like a surprise wildlife visit, but being prepared for success… now THAT we can do.
 
This issue talks about what we can leave behind for the world after we are gone.  Our legacy is built by what we stand for, who we help, and the better prepared we are to spread our message, the stronger our influence can be.   Envision what you can build that will last!
