"Thank you". A very powerful message that we, as people, sometimes forget to use. Life gets busy and we fail to express our appreciation to others in life. I, admittedly, am a culprit of this. I do not say thank you as often as I should. This is something that needs to change. Today was… Continue reading Day 10: Relay Your Gratitude

Day 9: Christmas Cards to Seniors
Christmas is a special time of year for people of all ages. Today, we wanted to let some seniors in our community know that we were thinking about them.

Day 7: Food Donation
It is hard to believe that the first week of our 25 Days of Giving has come to an end. It has been a great week of giving, helping others, learning lessons, and self-fulfillment.

Day 6: Game Donation
Do you like to play games? Do you have a favorite board game? Connect Four, Monopoly, and Battleship have been a few of my favorites since childhood.

One of the most memorable, and emotional, moments of my life happened earlier this year while participating in Random Acts of Kindness week. By now, you have heard the story of Marvin and Doris and power of two cups of coffee. That experience taught me that simple acts of kindness can make a difference in… Continue reading Day 5: Kind Gesture
Day 4: Parking Meters
I walked around downtown Fort Wayne today singing the lyrics "I got a little change in my pocket going jingle lingle ling". That song, a Georgia Satellites classic, played in my head as I moved through the city with a pocket full of quarters on a mission to help others. Today was Day 4 of… Continue reading Day 4: Parking Meters

Day 2: Poetic Gesture
"Time to take action Make life worth living Care for others And commit to giving" We are not poets. We cannot write like Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, nor Maya Angelou. We cannot rhyme like Dr. Seuss. We can, however, write from the heart. Today, that is exactly what we did. Day 2 of our 25… Continue reading Day 2: Poetic Gesture
Be Thankful and Give
Thanksgiving. A day that we all give thanks for the blessings and the people in our life. It is also a day that many people, families, take time to serve meals for those less fortunate in our community. For most, this is the one time during the year that they stop and give to those… Continue reading Be Thankful and Give
