Since I did not pull it together and get a Thought for the Day, I was on the hook. Here is one of my favorites!
"Give, give, give - what is the point of having experience, knowledge or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world and with the divine." - Isabel Allende
Cam Boyd led Good News today bringing in $550!
