And that is character.
How inspiring to see.
The strengths, the commitment, the unseen abilities.
The backbone and determination.
I’m writing this on Easter Sunday, a day in the Christian world that means rebirth and new life.
What a good time for all of us to sit for a moment in deep appreciation for those we work with and dare to look forward with a sense of hope and rebirth to the future of our dear co-ops.
The strength of character now being revealed across this country in our co-ops is the same character that builds deserts into fertile fields and can move mountains when the need arises.
This is the character that survives storms and is the first in and best equipped to rebuild.
This character is not something that we just turn on and off at our fancy, or manufacture at a whim.
It is who we are and now being revealed.
