“I think leadership is service and there is power in that giving; to help people,to inspire and motivate them to reach their fullest potential.”
Denise Morrison
I must confess these past few weeks have been crazy busy at work and in life, overwhelming really. In addition to all of that Charity Matters email subscribers have not been receiving their emails, which has really been frustrating for everyone….so thank you for your patience! I’m not sure if its Mercury retrograde or what the source is but we are working on it and it pretty much sums up my March Madness.
At work, we are just wrapped up training and teaching thousands of young students leadership and Saturday we worked with our high school leaders. One of the key messages we tell our students is that you can not lead unless you serve. Honestly, one of my favorite things about my job…inspiring others to give.
When I saw this quote above, it spoke to me about service and what it means to me. I was recently interviewed for a recognition of service and just saw the video. While I am not a big fan of watching myself, and really who is? However, I thought I would share because a few of you have asked and it gives a bit of context to the message of how important it is to serve.
Service is what we are all here to do, to serve one another. When I am overwhelmed, thinking about all of lives many tasks, the only way out of that feeling is when I think about others, rather than myself. It is so easy to get wrapped up in all we have to do but the moment we think about caring for or helping another, a shift occurs.
As we get ready to wrap up this wild month and dive into Spring, I am committing to a renewal of service, purpose and focusing on what matters.

Sharing is caring, if you are so moved or inspired, we would love you to share this to inspire another.
