“The day I stop giving is the day I stop receiving. The day I stop learning is the day I stop growing. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” — Wayne Gretzky

Speaking of hockey players, I read a story recently about a former NHL player Kevin Stevens who suffered from addiction after a storied career winning two Stanley Cups. After getting out of treatment he felt very fortunate that he had his family to turn to for support. He soon realized not everyone has that support system, so he started a foundation along with this sister to help those who had no place to go.

The foundation is able to give out sober living scholarships, which provide up to six weeks of sober housing for people in recovery. "Some people have nothing. They're living in a car, they're homeless," said Wilson, Power Forward's president. "We're getting them in a safe environment in a sober home."

I’m always inspired by people like Kevin who go through a very hard situation and come out and give back to help those in need that can’t help themselves.

Keep learning and growing my TG friends!
