“I think this year was kind of our wake-up call that we're all living at lightspeed. And this is our call to wake up and slow down and take time for finding activities that we enjoy and do just because we enjoy them.” - Kelly Lupton

“Just be intentional and in the moment. That's the one thing that you need to teach yourself in order to make great connections with people, in order to make great connections for work, in order to do pretty much anything and do it well. Just live in that moment.” - Kelly Lupton
