Have a Heart

March 31, 2011

Bob Hope was known for his wisecracks, but the comedian, who selflessly gave his time and talents over the decades to entertain American troops around the world, understood the intrinsic value of helping others.  It's called Servant Leadership!  "If you haven't got any charity in your heart," he once said, "you've got the worst kind of heart trouble."

If you have "charity in your heart," it is important that you spell out your wishes each and every day.

To whom should you give?  You might think about where your time is now spent - with the organizations and interests that matter the most to you, such as your place of worship, a service organization, or whatever.

How much should you give?  The answer lies in your heart - namely, what feels right to you.  Whatever your choice, you may be surprised at how the mere act of making this decision lightens your step and makes the world seem friendlier.

My own heart is with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and the American Heart Assocation.  All three have touched my life in one way or another.  Find where YOUR heart leads you and FOLLOW THAT LEAD!

As always, thank you to those who continue to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. With your support these incredible children all have the opportunity to see their greatest wishes fulfilled. To find your local Chapter please visit the national MAW website at http://www.wish.org/.  And, refer a child TODAY!

With LOVE and thanks,
