Quotes to ponder:

"Maybe merely allows my children to stand in the present and see what else is possible for this moment and the future."

"The Maybe mindset doesn’t promise my children that things will go back to the way they were before something bad happened, nor does it deny that bad things are happening in the world."

"Maybe they can find a way to make the world a better place for everyone."
