.@ellabontrager is our final senior this year. She’s played in 52 games with 123 pts. Ella is one of the best teammates, with the biggest heart. She's played through injury and adversity with a positive attitude. Thank you for everything, Ella! We will miss you!

Months ago when we planned our annual #PowerOfPositiveSummit, we had no idea the world would be facing what it is today. Seems even more appropriate to have it now. 30+ amazing speakers. Free online April 2-8. Sign up and spread the word. powerofpositivesummit.com

A little encouragement can go a long way. A simple “do it again” or reminding someone that they are loved. Whatever it is, make time to bring out the best in others today. P.S., Don’t let social distancing stop you from lifting others up. Send a text. Make a call. Reach out.

You are loved. You matter. Simple words that can mean so much. Make sure you say them to yourself and to someone else today.

Be careful of watching too much news during this time. It can overwhelm and depress you. Ironically the more it does we return to it like a drug seeking to feel better only to feel worse. Use the media for information but then shut it off for your mental health.

What if you prayed about it instead of worried about it? Research shows prayer boosts the immune system and enhances happiness. Worry weakens the immune system and is a major source of unhappiness. Prayer >worry.
