Not everyday that the ambassador to the USA from China makes a tweet about you! My band and I are so honored to represent America on a goodwill tour of China starting in Tianjin and now making our way from Dunhuang down the ancient Silk Road through Oklahoma sister state, Gansu!

Fabulous pop-up performance from Oklahoma violinist @KyleDillingham and his band #horseshoeroad together with Tibetan artists at the Tianjin museum! Never expected such chemistry between Western instruments and Chinese folk dance. It’s great to see everyone having a good time.

•Returning love for hate.
•Including the excluded.
•Admitting you are wrong.
Practice.

Imagine a world with more Go-Givers and fewer Go-Getters.
Could you practice a subtle shift in language? e.g., “Don’t wait for it…go Give it.”

Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
