Happy April! This month usually brings warmer weather and flowers that are beginning to poke their heads out of the ground. This year, April brought an amazing celestial event as well. I had the good fortune to view the solar eclipse in its totality from the parking lot of the Aspire office in Berlin, Vermont. It certainly was an experience that went way beyond my hopeful expectations. So many thoughts were racing through my brain as I took it all in. I’d like to share some of those thoughts with you as they relate, in many ways, to our work at Aspire.
