Today is April first. It’s not really a holiday but it has something attached to it that some people really ‘get into’ – it’s called April Fools day. According to the Web sote April-Fools.us this day started because New Years … Continue reading
This is the month that we celebrate the women in history that have
made a difference and changed the world in which we live.
Did you know that we (women) are all women in history.
What we do makes a difference in the world. It is important to
remember that WHAT we do and HOW we do it makes a difference. We can be the
lowest paid in an organization but making a greater difference than the highest
paid employee. We can be an individual with a lot of acronyms after our name
but not make a difference in the world as much as the single mother who is
raising her children on her own.
When we realize that each of us is making a difference we begin to
see that we have choices. Are we going to make sure the difference we make in
this world is a good one? We do this by making sure the impact each of us has
one every single person we interact with is a positive one. Even if it is just
to give them a smile and say Hello, for some of them you may have ‘made their
day’. When we are raising our children alone, do we take the time to tell them
how much they mean to us, and how proud we are of them? When we are in the work
environment, do we tell others that we appreciate their effort?
Often it is the little things that we do that make the greatest impact
because it is the little things that are too often overlooked because, you see,
they are just little things. However, little things make the greatest impact.
Let’s go out each day and impact the world for the better.
Starting with me, starting today, let’s make it happen!
Did you know there is one essential key to happiness?
Many people think they can GET happiness. The truth is the opposite is really true.
We actually GIVE happiness!
It sounds like a play on words but it is really true. When we give to others we receive much more than we ever imagined.
There is an acronym for happiness. It is G.I.V.E.
“G” is for gathering your gifts. First we must realize that we have personal gifts to share with others. Whatever skills we have, i.e. woodworking, crocheting, knitting, comedic personality or just a great heart of compassion, all these can be used to give to others. Find ways to share these gifts with those less fortunate than us.
“I” is for the intrinsic value we give to others. Intrinsic means it’s not THINGS – it’s gifts that can’t be touched, bought or sold. It’s those kind words we share with those who are hurting, or perhaps just passing someone in the hall at work and saying “Hello” or “Good Morning” – the intrinsic gifts we give are far more powerful than anything we can buy for another person.
“V” is for victory. We can give others a sense of value and victory in their life. Many people are not told how how much they mean to others. How many times have we thought how great a person is or what a good job they have done but we do not tell them. They NEED to know.
“E” is for EVERYDAY – each and everyday give to others so you can share the joy of living with others. It’s amazing how much power we have to give to others. We can make a huge difference in other peoples lives.
We can make a difference in the world each and every day by GIVING. By using this acronym we can learn the true art of giving. When we do this we will be changing the world one person at a time. This will bring happiness to many one person at a time. This is a powerful way to happiness because when we give we also receive.
Let’s go out and make a difference today!

CARE is about Creating an Atmosphere of Respect and Excellence! We create our own atmosphere – we need to always remember that. We make it what we want it to be. It really works that way.
Leaders lead by example, which is done by working closely with others.
Life is more about your right choices than your opportunities.. Making the right choices, opens our eyes to the opportunities available to us.
We all have values … of some sort. We should know what they are and then hold on to them. If we don’t, then those are not our values.
Hope is possible… at all times and in all situations!
Did you know… Happiness is a decision that you make! Decide to be happy! It works!
Respect is more about giving it than getting it. When that is how we live, we are given respect - because we have given it.
