Finally! It’s starting to feel like March. Yes that means wind, but also SUN! I love the spring; it’s just a very powerful time. It’s that time when Mother Nature is starting to make her rounds by waking up the sleeping flowers and trees. Spring is a time for new beginnings and new life!

To tell a story is to write a piece of history. It’s a persons way of leaving their mark on the world. Nothing is more permanent than the power of a word. Each experience is a lesson not only for us to learn, but a lesson to share with others.

What I’m trying to do – what we’re all trying to do at the Census Bureau – amounts to the largest domestic undertaking since the last decennial Census. It’s the biggest survey taken of the United States, covering 130 million households. Over the coming decade, the data we collect will give planners the information to decide where best to build hospitals, schools and libraries.

The data also helps guide the spending of more than $400 billion in federal money each year.
