Governor’s Ball – What many consider the biggest charity event of the year, The Governor’s Ball, was this past week at Southern Highlands. It was a blessing for Anne and I to attend as an Advisory Board guest of Opportunity Village. Thursday night was the private, by-invitation dinner for 500 and Saturday was a private concert performance by Maroon 5. Now THAT is an “A” band! THANK YOU Linda Smith and Karen Iglesias for the invitation – love you!

Hope to see you soon at one of these fabulous charity events. Until then, I will leave you with my favorite quote, courtesy of Mother Teresa:
People are often unreasonable and self centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
