The last thing my brother told me before heading to Haiti this week was that I needed to keep my fingers on the keys and blog, blog, blog. He is among my biggest cheerleaders and a huge inspiration in business, personal life and faith for me. Along with his posts from Haiti this week, I have noticed that several of my Facebook friends have been witnessing themselves. Sharing their “realness” for lack of any other word. The heart of who they are and their commitment to use Facebook to reach those who might need a well-placed word has been an inspiration.
Asking for prayer for a specific situation is among the mighty benefits of Facebook, but consistent witness of how a greater good affects one’s life is mighty personal and takes courage to share. Lessons can be learned from anyone at any time and little altars are everywhere. Thank you this week to:
Victoria Rodriguez whose words are deeply true and reflective.
Jennifer Teague who uses her early morning hours to reflect on what a mother needs on any given day.
Dick Moe who has battled braver than any soul I know against goofy little cells in his body that he will not allow to overtake him. His love for humankind is overwhelming and his delight in life is inspiring.
Yvette Young who watches the “little latitudes” to see where a kind word might me inserted.
Margie Peden who outruns her problems every morning and makes a difference in the lives of youth.
Alyson Morrison and Jo Maki who find the best of those daily spiritual pictures and repost because one of them just might make a difference.
Bev Gbur who reached out to make sure everything is right with my world-out of the blue.
Tammy Lee Barton, Kim Anthony Williams and Keisha Cameron who tell it like it is in the everyday life of kids (especially boys). Laughter is indeed the best medicine.
Cheryl Donaldson and Sonya Deese Farrell who stand firmly in their resolve to raise strong Americans while their husbands serve our country.
Anita Farrell, Tracey Weller and Sandi Porter who remind us of our health and how strong our bodies can be if we do simple things.
There are more of you, but this week, these friends stood out strong, clear and courageous to push forward on a mission to make life better by sharing, unafraid of comments. So, I ask for you to say a little prayer for those who share.
