Spread the Warmth Blank Drive ~ Let's all make in impact & help keep a homeless child warm this winter


November is National Homeless Awareness Month

 


As many of you know I serve on the board of HomeAid which is a local non-profit organization that's mission is to build new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach. An initiative that we are running from now until November 19th is "Spread the Warmth". It is a blanket drive so we can partner with local shelter providers to help keep those that are homeless warm this winter as the temperatures drop. One blankt makes in huge impact on one person & if we call chip in one then the ripple effect can be truly wonderful. 

There will be drop off locations in Placer & Sacramento County to make it easy to participate. 

The main drop off location will be at the HomeAid office which is at: 1536 Eureka Road in Roseville. 

My office will be a drop off location as well at:                     1430 Blue Oaks Blvd. #110 Roseville, CA 95747

If you are intersted in helping please email me at: Colin.Roe@fnf.com -or- call at: 916.304.5355


"It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act. There are two aspects to action. One is to overcome the distortions and afflictions of your own mind, that is, in terms of calming and eventually dispelling anger. This is action out of compassion. The other is more social, more public. When something needs to be done in the world to rectify the wrongs, if one is really concerned with benefiting others, one needs to be engaged, involved." ~ Dalai Lama

Motivational Monday #247: Adapting is not a luxury if....

Image
  Adapting is not a luxury if you want to keep succeeding at a high level.   Recognizing factual changes in an economy, market or industry is something we all must do. Then, with that knowledge we must look at what we are current doing and make updates/changes accordingly in order to keep the pace we want to be on. If things change and we do not, we still change, but at the control of outside and not inside.  Change does not mean (though it may in some cases) leaving some things fully behind. It may mean we do MORE of some things, less of others or a combination of both. The only MUST is to do something; doing nothing is becoming a passenger. We also do not change for the sake of change. We change to help us adapt effectively. Effectively is defined as getting us to the goal or destination that we set forth. We don't lower our goal/standards when things change; we ourselves rise up.  It's a choice every day and many times during the day as well to rise up. Others will choose t

Motivational Monday #258: Give Up

Image
  Just because something use to be a road block in the past does not mean it has to be now. YOU CAN DO IT! Give up on thinking that hard is impossible. Give up on believing that the idea or thing in your heart is not for you. Give up on allowing outside opinions the power to hold you down.  When you give up these things it allows you to PICK UP what you need to achieve the goals you have in your head and your heart. Potential is a great things, but it becomes truly beautiful when you embark on the journey towards achievement of it. On the journey you will have obstacles, don't give up. On this journey you will encounter people who will hinder you as well as people that enable you; mind that difference. On your journey you will also be inspiring others by your words and actions for them to Give up as well, so they can PICK UP & Go as you are.

Motivational Monday #240: Joy in the Journey, not just the Destination

Image
  Destinations (goals) are amazing. We set our sights high, push ourselves in pursuit of that goal, overcome obstacles, grow into the person we want to be & eventually achieve the goal we set out to accomplish; reaching the destination we had our sights set on. That is amazing! But...if we only celebrate and enjoy the final result we are robbing ourselves of a ton of joy through the other victories, bug & small, internal & external on our way.  Finding joy in the journey & not just in the destination created an internal fuel that keeps us motivated with verve on our pursuit. We won't always 'feel' like giving it our all each day, but when we have joy in the journey the feeling of joy pushes out the doubt & keeps us going. We cannot feel joy & doubt at the same time. Allow the joy to win & you will win in soo many incredible ways.
