I speak with incredible people: a devoted and selfless teacher, a person who serves the less fortunate, or someone committed to the lives of people managing disease. The inner strength and selflessness of some people, never ceases to amaze me. Today I spoke with a young woman who has battled cerebral palsy her entire life and has done incredible work in spite of her obstacles. It was my pleasure to introduce her to a few people who may be able to help her professional journey.
On days when I question what I'm doing, why I choose to be involved with some of the non-profits that I am, I am reminded of this line from Pope John Paul II, "faith leads us beyond ourselves." When in doubt, help someone else.
