I love today and our focus of giving back or paying it forward. Today I am up at the local high school for a career exploration day. The students walk through and talk to real career professionals. They get an idea what it takes to qualify and excel in a certain field. So I amContinue reading “Giving back to the community.”

They say to walk a mile…
They say to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes to really know what that person is going through. So today I want you to use your imagination. Take a deep breath and let your mind wander.

Playing to lighten up life.

Have you read it? If not, you might want to. One ofContinue reading “Pay it forward…where it started for me.”

It’s Card Class week and I love getting together with you. You feed myContinue reading “And here we are again…”
The shift starts with you.
I challenge you to search online and type in the search box “give back” or “pay it forward” then place a comma and your hometown. See what comes up. As I have lived in a few places thanks to the Marine Corps I looked up a few. Some talked about programs that were helping theContinue reading “The shift starts with you.”
