Every child I know who overcame long odds and grew into a responsible adult can point to an adult who stepped into his or her life as a FRIEND, a MENTOR, and a GUIDE.

Nearly every moment of every day we have the opportunity to give something to someone else.

Whatever you do... put your heart and soul into it!

My riches are my family and my foster children. I try to store any material wealth in my hand, not my heart, so that I always feel free to give it away when the opportunity arises.

How do you know if someone needs encouragement? If they are breathing!

If you wish to enrich days, plant flowers; If you wish to enrich years, plant trees; If you wish to enrich Eternity, plant ideals in the lives of others.

Sometimes success is disguised as hard work.
