On #MemorialDay, we honor all the men and women who have given their lives in the service of our country. If you'd like to pause and reflect with us, we offer this painting by Eastman Johnson, "The Girl I Left Behind Me" (ca. 1872), and a poem "We Shall Keep the Faith" (1918).
Happy Birthday to Philippe de Champaigne! 🥂 Born in Brussels in 1602, Philippe de Champaigne had an extraordinary life. He fell in love in Paris, married well, and had an endless amount of commissions from many influential figures.

"Parable of the Sower" is a reminder to stay hopeful. We see the sower sowing new seeds, while behind him grows a plentiful harvest. So keep your spirits up, continue ahead, and recognize that your efforts today might just take time to cultivate. #DontGiveUp #WithLoveSanDiego
