Honor Beyond the Hashtag
Living a Life That Reflects the Sacrifice Others Made
Today is Memorial Day — a day set aside to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
It’s a powerful moment. A sacred one. And I hope, a reflective one.
But if you’ve been here for a while, you know this about me — I don’t typically post on holidays. Not because I don’t care. But because I do.
I believe remembrance deserves more than a one-day caption. Just like love, leadership, and legacy — what matters most is how we live the other 364 days of the year.
So here’s what I’ve been thinking about today...
What does it mean to truly honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice?
It’s more than waving a flag or liking a post. It’s showing up with integrity in how we lead. It’s treating people with respect and kindness. It’s building something meaningful — in our homes, in our businesses, and in our communities. It’s using our freedom to create change, serve others, and make a difference.
We don’t need to wait for a national holiday to do that. We get to live that way — every day.
A few questions to carry forward this week:
You don’t have to be in uniform to serve. You don’t have to post a tribute to show reverence. But you do have the opportunity — every single day — to live a life that reflects gratitude and purpose.
Let’s be the kind of people who remember… and honor with how we live, lead, and love — not just today, but always.
To the brave men and women who gave everything — and to the families who carry their legacy — I offer my deepest respect, gratitude, and unwavering honor. Your sacrifice is not forgotten. And I will do my best to live, lead, and love in a way that’s worthy of it.
Always in your corner.
