Hi ,

A couple of weeks ago, Anton and Hayden, of APEX Instant Tips fame, delivered their 100th Oracle APEX tip.

The tip was a juicy one. Anton called it sketchy, and Hayden suggested they might receive a cease and desist. You be the judge 😂.

But my favorite part of this special anniversary episode was the Wisdom of the Week, where Anton shared his daily sendoff to his kids as they were growing up.

“Have a grand and glorious day – A day that bestows honor upon yourself, your family, and your community”

I have thought of these words a lot ever since, and this week in particular, am thinking of the amazing women of Insum, and how they are literal embodiment of these words.

I hope you’ll read my post that pays tribute to my colleagues, but really, all women in our wonderful Oracle APEX community that bestow honor on us all by being inspirational leaders, brilliant, kind and caring colleagues, dedicated community service contributors, and of course, dedicated mothers and loving caretakers.
