Happiness is the Ability to Help Others

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to visit the Philippines with the Association for Wedding Professionals international. We were treated with the greatest hospitality and met some of the nicest,humble and happiest people! This experience taught me to really appreciate everything I have and not to take my blessings for granted because everything we have can be quickly taken away.

The recent typhoon was definitely another reminder. It's easy for us to turn our heads the other way...but the truth is still there, there are families, fathers, mothers, children that are in need of assistance. Every little bit helps. Whether you contribute $20.00 or offer prayers for the people of Manila the most important thing is you tried to make a difference. By sacrificing a couple of Starbucks runs you can help to feed a family for two weeks. I encourage you to find out how you can help by visiting this site:
