We can learn a lot from children. They have an innocent and natural motivation to help people. Children are making a positive impact every day in our world, from donating toys to less fortunate children to organizing a local food drive to driving large scale awareness campaigns about the environment.

Sunday Service – Kids Are Heroes
May 6, 2012Sunday Service – First Book
April 29, 2012Somehow, when I was a little girl, my parents always managed to find a little extra money so I could get books through Weekly Reader. I never really gave it much thought but, upon grown up reflection, I know they didn’t have a lot of extra money to spare. My husband and I started buying Little [...]
Sunday Service – Healing Waters
April 22, 2012One of my pharmacist co-workers has traveled to Mexico for the last eight years with a team of people who volunteer to serve both the medical and spiritual needs of the people in a very poor area.

The others were sitting in the two [...]
Sunday Service – Kiva
March 11, 2012There are people all over the world who, while living in impoverished conditions, see a way out with an inspired entrepreneurial idea. These people are willing to work hard to farm or weave or fish or build, but don’t have the resources to get even the smallest business off the ground. More often than not, traditional financial institutions are either unavailable or [...]
Sunday Service – Red Cross Tornado Response
March 4, 2012Continuing a nearly seventy year tradition, the President issued a proclamation declaring March to be American Red Cross month. How incredible then that, just three days in to the month, the organization’s disaster services are desperately needed. The Red Cross has mobilized to provide emergency assistance in eleven states hit by Friday’s tornado outbreak. By Friday evening, their quick response teams had [...]
Sunday Service – Almsgiving isn’t just for Lent
February 26, 2012This weekly post typically focuses on various ways to give and serve through community service, organized local or national charities, or simply through individual giving of time, talent and resources. If you are of one of the Christian traditions, almsgiving is a very important part of the Lenten observance. The season of Lent began with Ash [...]
Tuesday Tidbit
February 14, 2012Happy Valentine’s Day! Since today is all about love, let’s talk about love at work. Specifically, loving your team members. Oh, yes. I said that. Love.your.people. Encourage The Heart, one of the five practices in Kouzes and Posner’s The Leadership Challenge, and our Leadership Model at work, sometimes makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Love my [...]
