Recently, I keynoted a women's breakfast and had the opportunity to meet Fran.
At the end of every talk, I challenge the audience to take my 40-Day Giving Challenge.
Afterwards, Fran came up to me and exclaimed she'd started the challenge by giving away the beautiful hanging basket of petunias that she won.
Excitement filled my heart and I had to snap a picture with Fran.
This is my why.
I speak and write about giving to inspire others to give in ways they never thought about before.
My original goal, back on January 1, 2011, still rings true today.
Me, one person, looking for ways to make a difference in one other person's life, each and everyday.
And now Fran is on the same journey!
She shared with me how she's given a gift everyday since the talk.

Can you imagine how our world would change, if like Fran, when I put out the challenge to give daily, we all took it?!
Thanks Fran for inspiring me to keep spreading the message God's laid on my heart and thanks for taking the Giving Challenge!
Blessings,
