“Money does not
define a person’s character or value.
Kindness does.”
True character is built on
kindness,
empathy and
integrity.
Wealth can give us
a certain amount of comfort
but that is physical.
A kind word
or
a genuine compassion for others
cannot be bought.
When we focus our lives
on kindness,
we begin to transcend money,
and this reminds us
that the kind of heart we have
and
our character defines us,
not how much money we have in the bank.
Every step we take
towards showing kindness
‘encourages’
a more supportive and peaceful community.
The lives we touch
and
the love we share
is our ‘legacy’
and
what people remember about us.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
