"Serving the world with love and cooperation,
you will find your own true Self.
As you help those in need, selfishness will fall away,
and without even noticing you will find your own fulfillment."

I had the pleasure this year volunteering my time to the
San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center. It was enlightening to meet so many beautiful parents & smiling children during the Toy Store (a big treat for them to shop there every year). Their love for their children inspired them humbly to pick out a few free items to put under their trees. Serving as a reminder that gifts do not have to be bought at an expensive store to show your love. I won't forget the great parents that I met there, some with despair in their eyes wondering how they're going to make it, some with dreams of a better life & owning a business, some just plain thankful. Either way, they were hopeful survivors.
Helping them pick out presents for their children, reminded me of picking out toys for my children to unwrap. Toys that light up, Barbie Dolls in shiny dresses, Hot Wheels, Books & some DVD's. Not all the items were the "latest & greatest".
There were no Ipods & Ipads...just happy Moms & happy Dads.
(as it should be)
Donate your time more to charities and watch your life bloom in greatness and love.
