It is courage overcoming fear, right besting wrong, and faith rising above doubt. Notable people like Tim Cook, Pema Chödrön, and George Lucas come to mind when we consider the Human Spirit. But we also think about P.J., Glenn, and Anja, Pathfinder community members who add color to our lives daily by sharing their stories with us. Every day the Human Spirit reshapes our world. It gives us hope, drives us to make new discoveries, and redefines what is possible. As we begin a new year, let's look to the men and women of Pathfinder Village for inspiration. Their triumphs of spirit encourage us to do more and be more. Let us look for moments through which the Human Spirit is revealed and celebrate them! We hope you enjoy our calendar, and will consider making a year-end gift in support of our mission during this Season of Joy. Thank you for all you do for Pathfinder Village, and we wish you and yours a very merry holiday season and a prosperous New Year! Paul C.
