This I know...

This I know...
Nothing is certain.
Hard work pays off.
Have a plan and see it through.
Take chances.
Live each day as if it is your last.

What on earth does any of this mean to a blog dedicated to a campaign called One George?! Well. While I feel as if I'm spinning my wheels in mud and not getting anywhere. I thought I had a plan, but I was ready to jump before I checked all the gear. So, now I've taken a step back from the edge and going through, making connections, preparing the plan, making sure all is right before I jump. Once I leap, I have to have faith, that I've prepared well enough, that I've created a plan that will work, and that I take the chance and give it a go.

Living each day as if it is your last is something I've learned from the articles I've been reading and the paper I've been working on. Each day, amazing things are happening and we hardly take time to notice. We don't smile at people on the street or take the time to reconnect with friends or loved ones. We are driven to get "things" done. So what if I don't plan a decent meal and the kids have to eat cereal for dinner? So what if my blinds have so much dust on them you can't see the original color? I can only believe when I die - my spirit will live in those I've touched or inspired. I hope to inspire those who can...to do. I hope I can demonstrate the value of giving to my children. I only hope I can make a positive difference in at least one individual's life. My hope is One George will be something people will come to understand and know as not another "fundraising tactic"...but something that transcends giving....that one simple change can lead to many.
