The Importance of Being of Service to Others
"The greatest among you, shall be your servant." This has been one of the verses I have lived my life on and want to pass on to you. If you believe that you are created in God's image, and every other human is too, that will translate in every facet of your life. My son asks me, "Why do you do things for others?"

How You Can Motivate Others Everyday

However, for a person to be a role model, they don't need to know the individual they are impacting. Most people may never meet their role model. For example, mine happens to be Oprah Winfrey (if you're reading this,…

Your Most Important Gifts
As a widow who has lost the majority of my family, I realize that life is the most important gift.
