A Great Way To End My Week

Last Friday I was fortunate enough to spend an hour with two people that I have been blessed to know. I've only seen Teya a handful of times over the last five years but have watched her development with inspiration in my heart and a lump in my throat. Now she is a teenager filled with love, compassion, humour, sarcasm and a continual drive to achieve.
Her mother Jeanette has more on her plate than any of us can imagine. But as she has taught me, the higher your obstacles and challenges, the more opportunity you have for victory and success, both big and small.

For those who haven't met Teya...

Tears Of Joy

The one thing all warring countries seem to have in common...is the love for their children. I can't help but think that if we could ALL tap into the emotion of this video, nobody would ever pick up a gun again.
Enjoy!

Another Reason To Be Proud

Coming off a VERY successful showing at the 2010 Winter Olympics, it's easy to be proud of our country and our athletes. It's also easy to erase the division of borders and appreciate ALL the athletes from all the countries who dedicated themselves to personal bests.
This morning I discovered another reason to not only be proud of the country I live in, but part of a compassionate world.
This is the French Canadian charity "Clowns Without Borders" helping to put smiles back on the faces of the children of Haiti.
Enjoy.
