Quote by Mike Correll

“Abandoned residential homes are common in the area—often the casualties of severe damage from hurricanes—but what I find fascinating is the mettle of the Cajuns we encountered and befriended. They may lose their roof and be forced to abandon their home, but it is a near surety that they will remain in the same area, raising a family. There is great cultural pride in these resourceful people, and it is evidenced by the tenacity of those who face the power of Gulf hurricanes every year, and yet remain.”

“Always pay attention to how people respond to your growth and blessings. Their words and their silence reveal important truths. People will not always tell you how they feel about you but they'll always show you. Non-verbal communication is more powerful than words. Even the most silent human still says alot”

“Don’t spin your wheels chasing after something that is not meant to be. There is something else better that is just around the corner, and it’s got your name on it in ALL CAPS!”
