In summary: (1) Family time is limited—cherish it. (2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones. (3) Partner time is significant—never settle. (4) Children time is precious—be present. (5) Coworker time is significant—find energy. (6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

Take Me to the River

Take Me to the River

🌱 We had the honor of traveling to Mississippi to conduct mock interviews with the kids at @PalmerHome . They practiced handshakes, eye contact, and answering questions to help prepare them for the real thing one day. #PalmerHome #onrivertime

🇺🇸 Memorial Day has even more meaning this year after losing one of our own. Lance Cpl Rylee McCollum was one of the 13 marines who lost their lives in Afghanistan. He attended our very first On River Time camp in 2012. Freedom isn’t free. #memorialday #ryleemccollum #13marines
