Maybe you’re like Gemma.

After a disappointing loss she said, “Don’t let today’s disappointment cast a shadow on tomorrow’s dreams.”

Pretty cool, right? Do you face disappointment like this? Can you keep dreaming even when a dream of yours doesn’t come true?

Happy Birthday, Gemma. You rock and you inspire us all!
