This article is dedicated to Jim and Dolores Martin.  Jim and Dolores are an inspiring couple who lead with passion and conviction.  You cannot hear them speak without being moved to action.  The Martin’s have overcome many obstacles to be the leaders they are, but they kept their focus on their purpose.  When confronted with the two roads of life, they did not even hesitate.  The Martin’s took the road less traveled and it has made all the difference for them.   Laurie and I congratulate Jim and Dolores for living a life of character, integrity, courage and honor.   I love the quote, “Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.”  Jim and Dolores have chosen to be part of the solution and are making an incredible difference.  Here is one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost on the road not taken.

 

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

 

Are you taking the road less traveled in your life?  Can you give an example of when you had to separate yourself from the crowd?  God Bless, Orrin Woodward
