Making a difference

PJ has been my inspiration, my north, since 1993. Ed’s chant of “two hands can change the world” at Irvine Meadows many years ago was a game changer for me. 

Anyhow...I do everything I can to make the world and my community a better place, particularly for seniors. This afternoon I received word that I secured a 30k grant to help seniors in my hometown. 

It may seem strange, but I feel compelled to give some credit to PJ. Their example gave me the drive to do whatever I can to make a positive impact as long as I have breath.

    That's wonderful, KM.  Thank you for doing it!

    "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel
