What activities do you enjoy doing outside your board work?

Name someone in your life you admire, or who inspired or helped you along the way.
I had great teachers and pastors that poured into me to always be considerate of others. My mother would probably be my biggest supporter in my life. I live by the scripture Ps.3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding in all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
Name a book/magazine/website/publication/etc. that you would recommend to other school board members.
