Columbine High School…

“I have this theory that if one person goes out of their way to show compassion, it will start a chain reaction of the same. You never know how far a little kindness will go.” – Rachel Joy Scott

Today is the 22nd anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre. Rachel was the first child killed that day. Yet, even with all the darkness of that day, it couldn’t stop light from emerging. Rachel’s Challenge was born, based upon the writings and influence of Rachel Scott. She continues to start chain reactions of kindness and compassion all across the world. Over 30 million people have experienced Rachel’s story. But the work continues…
Rest In Peace, Rachel. Your life mattered…

Interview with Jennifer Benson

Jennifer Benson decided she needed to make a change in her life. Where as most people might change jobs or get a pet, Jennifer moved across the International Date Line to Kuwait. Things were working out at first. She had a job she loved, met and married a man, and even survived a tsunami in 2004. Then she started to become disillusioned. Jennifer had a decision to make…a very difficult decision: Lose the life she had spent years building? Or lose herself?
Here her story on The Determined People Podcast. Click on the link:

The Eyes of The World…

Do not concern yourself with the judgment of others. The world has no authority over you. Only God’s opinion matters. People will judge you, even if you reached perfection. Pay no attention to the naysayers…

Toddlers…

I love the company of toddlers. Yes, they are full of unending questions, but they are just trying to learn. Toddlers don’t come with a personal agenda, and they don’t filter their conversations. Do you want authenticity in your life? Hang out with toddlers…
