“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
–F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Great Gatsby
To new beginnings and memories for a wonderful summer!

Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you’ll make a difference.
Arie Pencovici
With that I challenge all you graduates, new and old, to ask your selves. Are you graduating everyday? If so, are you making a difference?

“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”
Vincent van Gogh
With final exams and graduations upon us, it made me think of just how much you can accomplish when you do what you love. It is simply the key to everything.
Love.

“Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.”
Pauline R. Kezer
Change, something that is inevitable. Some of us thrive on it and others are terrified but regardless of your feelings, it is a fact of life. The one constant we can count on and that is change.
I fall somewhere in the middle on the topic. There are some things that would devastate me if they ever changed (Reeses Peanut Butter Cups come to mind) and other things like moving furniture that exhilarate me. Change is growth, whether you run towards it or away from it, you will grow from it.
Back in January, I made a New Year’s Resolution to you, with plans to update my web-site. I have been working hard the past few months to keep my promise. So come Monday, April 29th Charity Matters will launch our new web-site.
My hope is that this facelift gives you the same great content, inspiration and excitement with a fresh new look. Thank you for growing with me on this journey.
Now that’s change that’s exciting!

“Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself — be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself — by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love — the more human he is.”
Viktor E. Frankl
To being more human.

“Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilk
Spring is officially here and with it comes new beginnings, longer days, sunshine and a renewed optimism on life. It is a magical time of year when we need to reward our selves by taking a moment to stop, listen and observe nature’s beauty. It is a gift we all receive this time of year and one that should be treasured while it lasts.
So treat yourself, for all the good you do, by taking a moment to enjoy the beauty of this day.
