The hustle and bustle of the holidays is upon us. There are a million errands to run, more things to add to our lists every day.  This year has been besieged by a number of tragedies, while being equally blessed with a thousand stories we never hear about.  Those are the uplifting and faith-instilling variety.

The most interesting and important stories, are of course about those we care for, and about ourselves.  Our truth every day is that we are surrounded by those we love, those we compete with and those we know in a cursory way.

It has been my observation since beginning to work with MAPCL that the success stories, the sincere, committed relationships I see around me and the compass of the organization are all in the “good news” column.

I wish all of you, Management, Program and Administrative Staff and line workers a year of authentic and positive change, and a holiday season full of warmth, wonder and peace.   Happy Holidays.
