Greetings!
A Rose of Thanks is gaining momentum! May is National Military Appreciation month and Memorial Day is coming up at the end of the month. There's no better time or way to tell our military "thank you" than by sending a personalized A Rose of Thank card!
My friends back in North Carolina, David & Elizabeth, picked up about 500 cards from the Hanford Dole Elementary School in Salisbury. We have dropped off over 650 cards at the Benjamin Franklin Elementary School in La Quinta, CA. What a nice, small town; golf resorts and mountains surround the city, which was named for the La Quinta Resort. It truly is as it's motto says, "The Gem of the Dessert".
Some of you have heard my outgoing cell phone message and know that I quote Donald Trump. If you are going to be thinking - you might as well think big! You know, the funny thing is that I have done nothing but think big about A Rose of Thanks, and some how I have not thought as big for myself as I should. Is it just me or do we all tend to do this to some degree; whether a relationship with a significant other, a career track or a hobby. I challenge each of us to think big, but more importantly act big towards ourselves. Now, if you are already doing it, then take the time to encourage someone else to think and act big. Your words can change that person's life!

The Charlotte Observer - Cabarrus Bureau, Charlotte, NC
Lukas Johnson has become a good friend. He wrote an awesome article about A Rose of Thanks back on July 1, 2007 for The Charlotte Observer. He has followed our growth with follow up stories and online coverage. His work with A Rose of Thanks has helped get the word out and I have had people come up to me and say, "I read that article in the Observer about what you are doing, keep up the great work!"
Thanks, Lukas - you keep up the good work! |
