everyone matters or no one matters





a quote from one of several  books  by Michael Connelly that I've adopted as my 2010 resolution.  I'm an avid  reader. Okay, I confess, I rely on audio books to keep up, but listening to an audio book helps me  decompress on the stressful drive home in traffic.  I discovered Michael's book, The Scarecrow, when I found that I had finally caught up on most of my favorite authors.  But this quote really hits home when you think about all the tragedy in Haiti.  I adopted it as my 2010 mantra -  everyone matters or no one - we really don't live for ourselves at all.  So in 2010, I'm hoping to get involved in some way each month in a charity.  Whether that be through donating, participating or just spreading awareness, 2010 is my wake up call.  

January is Easter Seals -  Volleyball Challenge.  I'm participating and donating and very proud that I've already made my goal thanks to my friends.  Get involved, make everyone count this year . . .
