As we wrap up 2011, a long-time supporter of PathLight has given a unique matching gift opportunity. The goal? To send one student to school.

A friend recently asked me what was going to happen in 2012. I looked at him curiously … why would he think I’d have a clue? He persisted, “Make some predictions. I’m curious what you are thinking.” Well … hmmm … I never did answer him and instead promised a junkyard wisdom post about the [...]
