For many of us, our Fathers were and are men of few words, but the older we get the wiser their words become, and the greater impact they have on and in our lives. Today’s Journal is a celebration of our Fathers. It's full of heartfelt and funny quotes and wisdom, provided from our team and other unknown women.

Point to ponder: How can you live all-in and wholeheartedly this summer? Last week, while talking to iGnite Leader Alli Phillips on the phone, she humbly and enthusiastically told me everything that she was currently doing.
