Be grateful. Every day is a new canvas-- a new opportunity...Choice
blessings await those who live in thanksgiving daily....Don't wait to start. Open your eyes, open your hearts, and open your arms.
Joseph B. Wirthlin

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Guatemala and escort a baby home. It was an amazing experience, one I will never forget. But one thing that touched my heart was the generosity of many people. Just a week before leaving I learned of an orphanage that was in desperate need of money and supplies, I sent messages out to clients of Wasatch that are or who have adopted from Guatemala and to many of my friends and neighbors, and within a week I had two bursting suitcases full of supplies and nearly $4000.00 for the orphanage....what a privilege it is for me to see people open their eyes, hearts and arms to help others!
