I was chatting with Dan about how I needed to come up with my inspirational post, and did he have any lovely thoughts recently that I could possibly write about. No lovely thoughts. As we were checking out of the hotel, we were pulling our luggage down the hall, past a conference room. Inside the room, I saw something that made my heart sing.

It kicked off a great conversation with my kids, and later that night I had to show it to the man, so we could talk about it together.
