Hurricane Katrina

Greetings Friends,

I must say that the phrase a picture is worth a 1000 words is an under statement for what is happening in Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We are here and we do care.

I have personally donated to the American Red Cross and I am asking all my fellow friends out there, near and far to do the same.

Remembering Our Friends

Hi Friends,

While working on a "Friendship Video", I realized how important and special friendships are. I was reviewing photo's of two best friends while in High School, then the next photo of them with their husbands and children...and then all the years in between. It is like 30 years of memories of these two best friends.

What a honor and a privilege to be able to look at someone's life story with their best friend for all these years.

I believe that every picture tells a story. It captures so much meaning of that moment. These are memories that last a life time.

What a great idea and gift to give someone who has been such a good friend all of these years.

Sharing a spiritual tidbit

Hi Friends

There will be days I will share spiritual tidbits on my weblog. I find as I do Video work for all occasions such as; memorial tributes, anniversaries or weddings, that I hear many fascinating stories. I hear of trials and tribulations or joys and jubilation. Because I have my Masters degree in Holistic Ministries, I am still drawn to listening to those during these personal times. I am always in hope that not only will I offer them a special "keepsake" such as a memorial tribute, but an uplifting affirmation or words of wisdom.

Here is one quote I read today that I wish I had read many many years ago. This is from the website called thedailyguru.com

""To Support Or Not"

"It is not helpful to help a friend by putting coins in his pockets when he has got holes in his pockets."

-- Douglas Hurd

Are you struggling financially because you are helping another adult who is being irresponsible around money?

Without intending to do so, we can keep people dependent when we are willing to financially rescue them. Enablers typically feel it’s their duty to help out. They may see giving money as an expression of love. Unfortunately, they may lose their own financial security as a result.

As hard as it may be to do, the solution may lie in forcing the dependent to find his or her own way financially. In this case, it’s not selfish to not lend a hand -- it actually serves the highest interests of all. Learning personal responsibility can be a tough road but it’s a necessary one for empowerment.

"Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon them and to let them know that you trust them."

-- Booker T. Washington
