So I remember sitting in second year of law school at Tulane, on my bed, my oldest brother had passed away of AIDS. He was a doctor. I had law loans that I didn't know how to go pay back. There was a recession in 1991, 92. And I sat on the edge of my bed and I told God, I said, do you allow me to pay off my law loans and buy a little of my house?

And every day since then, everything was better than what I was willing to do to buy my mom a house. And still, everything I get to do, I still have that baseline that I am willing to do that in joy. Right. I have figured out how to learn to love some of the most awful times, most awful things in my life to find the life and love and lessons in it.

And I am a student of gratitude and of forgiveness. And I think those two things raise our awareness of what we're given. See?
