Are you willing to venture outside of your comfort zone? Are you willing to commit to the unthinkable in an effort to put others first? Would you stretch your limits to make a difference?

Read and be a Rock Star
We have all dreamed at some point about being a celebrity, a professional athlete, or maybe even a rock star. For most of us, we can only dream these thoughts of stardom. To be a famous musician, you have to be a master of your craft as a singer or guitar player. You have put in a lot… Continue reading Read and be a Rock Star
A Greyt Cause
Seven years ago we adopted a greyhound. We had no idea in that moment that the decision would change our lives forever. Jagged Puzzle was an ex-racer who had lived and raced in Daytona, Florida. After retirement, he was rescued by an organization in Indianapolis that rescues, cares for, and finds homes for these hounds.… Continue reading A Greyt Cause

It is an organization that lives and breathes this mission every day.

Obviously, when many of us say this we are using it as a figure of speech. … Continue reading A Clothing Ministry
A Little Brown Bag
We are a country that prides itself on power and wealth, yet there are millions of children who go hungry every day. It is our responsibility, not only as a nation, but also as individuals, to get involved. So, next time you pass someone on the street who is in need, remember how lucky you… Continue reading A Little Brown Bag
An Unbelievable Experience
I must admit that I was very excited, and nervous, about this week's volunteer activity. This experience truly gave me the opportunity to get outside of my comfort zone. I wrote in a recent blog that we must all "get comfortable being uncomfortable" to truly make a difference. I will say that on this particular experience, I did just… Continue reading An Unbelievable Experience
A Day of Caring
Our Week 9 experience gave me the opportunity to work with the "Big Red Machine." This is the how I refer to our team at Coca-Cola here in Fort Wayne. Almost three years ago when I moved to Fort Wayne, Coca-Cola was not an active member of this community. I was told by many different… Continue reading A Day of Caring
