Last night when I got home there was an envelope on the table from the IRS. My heart sank. Letters from the IRS are not typically good news. But I opened it to find the exact opposite. The best letter I think I (Connor's House really) will ever receive from the IRS. Unless they write to tell me I have been overpaying my taxes for years and they owe me tens of thousands of dollars.
Will you choose hope?
What does your future hold? Well that is up to you. Certainly there are a lot of things to be discouraged about in the world right now; but being discouraged is a choice, just like being hopeful is. Which will you choose?

Be the Match Marrowthon
From June 8-22, the Be The Match Marrowthon seeks to add 46,000 new members to the registry and raise funds for the Be The Match Foundation. The normal $100 registration fee is waived for the first 46,000 new members. Joining the registry is as easy as filling out a health questionnaire and swabbing the inside of your cheek with a cotton swab.
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 60, in good health and willing to help any patient in need can join in person at one of many community drives taking place across the country or online at www.marrow.org to find how to register to become a bone marrow donor.

The Poor
"The rich exist for the sake of the poor. The poor exist for the salvation of the rich.”
- St. John Chrysostom (c. 347–407)
"It is not our fault that people are poor, but it is our responsibility to do something about it” - Richard Stearns from The Hole in Our Gospel
Its your decision
I think a lot of 'leaders' misunderstand their job. Too many 'leaders' think their job is to offer advice or to be strategic thinkers. That is certainly part of it but here's the thing about being a leader; being a leader means it is your job to make decisions. And yes, some of them (correct that, most of them) will be hard. Anybody can offer opinions or pontificate about strategy but that just makes you a coach or a consultant. If you want to lead me please don't shy away from making decisions.
What do you wish your leaders would start doing more of?

A good use for twitter?
I have previously shared my uncertainty about twitter but I may have to rethink my position.
