Everything you do right
now ripples outward and
affects everyone.
your posture can shine your
heart or transmit anxiety.
your breath can radiate love or
muddy the room in depression.
your glance can awaken joy.
your words can inspire freedom.
your every act can
open hearts and minds.

aftEr tHE sENsElEss tragEdy in Las Vegas last
month, one of our amazing members sent this poem to me as a
way to support and lift up the ISPA Team. It’s incredible how such
a simple gesture and sentiment can make us all feel bonded—even
in the most troubled of times.
When our fierce and strong community descended on
Mandalay Bay only weeks after the shooting, I was
flooded by so many emotions, but the strongest was
gratitude. Our industry is full of the most caring, selfless
and giving people in the world, and when we come together,
even in the wake of tragedy, it is pure magic.
So, thank you for being you, for the unbelievable ripple effect
you create in the world, the love you radiate and the inspiration you
share every day. We are truly blessed!
