It is at this time of year that I am reminded how we need not wait to be inspired and helpful to others but that it’s possible to be generous all year round. I’m fortunate enough to know people in my life who put their hearts on the line daily in the service of others. Today I am reminded to keep myself moving forward and think of what gifts I have to offer. It’s one thing to be grateful; it’s another to take that gratitude outside and put it to good use.
