What I’m grateful for and celebrate today, September 21, World Gratitude Day:
- That you are a reader of my Fire Starters blog (or my enews, social media posts or a workshop attendee).
- That I do work that inspires me every day.
- That by teaching others the power of using stories to engage others, I hear heart-warming, heart-wrenching mission moments, often.
My passion is to provide support and communication tools to as many people and nonprofit organizations as possible, so you raise as much money as possible. . .
One mission moment at a time.
Thank you for the work you do every day, seen and unseen.
The truth is I simply could not do my work without you.
Thank you.
