Epic Thanks

Thank you. Thank you for sharing images of gratitude and for your generosity in supporting the Epic Thanks 2011 campaign this past week. Together we've helped raise enough funds to build a secondary school with four classrooms at Shepherds Junior, restrooms, solar power, a science lab, a kitchen and enough beds for the school's first class. I am so, so thankful for the way we rallied around this project, and for what our small group have helped achieved.

Taking a moment to shift attention and reflect on the many things that I'm grateful for have had a magnifying impact on my life and the life of my family, opening our hearts to the incredible gifts that we're given. At the beginning of this week I said that a simple act of gratitude could change everything. Today, I have never believed that more. I hope you do too.

And the winner of the giveaway is Debc! Congratulations!

I'm deeply touched.

who, for the sake of pleasing the king, had been obliged to assume an amiable mien towards this whole rustic rabble of Flemish burgomasters, and to regale them at his H?tel de Bourbon, with a very "pretty morality, allegorical satire, and farce," while a driving rain drenched the magnificent tapestries at his door. http://www.digbbc.com
