My Horoscope for Tuesday 12-5-23
I admit it. I read my horoscope. Daily. For entertainment value, mind you, …and food for thought. That latter reason grabbed me when I read my Tuesday horoscope. Specifically, “…do something to make a difference.”
“Making a Difference” is at the core of what SERTOMA is all about. It is what their Mission statement is all about:
OUR PURPOSE:
To meet the needs of communities through volunteer service.
OUR VISION:
To create communities of change under common leadership and with a common voice that will serve the many in need.
OUR MISSION:
To improve the quality of life today for those at risk or impacted by hearing loss through education and support.
Leona Valley Days
Melody and I moved to Leona Valley in October 2000 and I joined Leona Valley Sertoma in the summer of 2001. It was the best thing to happen to me in many ways. For starters, I got to know many of my neighbors better and much quicker than I might have otherwise. The big one though, was being part of “making a difference” in the community, by participating in the development, planning, and implementing the various events, activities, and fundraisers put on by the group. I have some experience with volunteering and serving my community, as I grew up in a small town and I’m an Eagle Scout. Being a part of SERTOMA took it to a whole new level. As an adult, you get busy with your life, work and family take up most of your time and, as a result, my “making a difference” became writing a check to support this, or that, nonprofit. Donating to a worthy cause is noble and I still do it. However, rolling up my sleeves and being a part of “making a difference” and seeing that difference happening is so much better. I’m a better person, because of SERTOMA. To learn more about Leona Valley Sertoma and what they are doing, check out their Home Page or talk to a member.
Reading Your Horoscope
So, what’s in a horoscope? Whatever you read in to it. On Tuesday I was reminded to “make a difference”, and to be kind. This week we donated a couple of toys to the “CHIPS for Kids” toy drive, we do this every year. I guess my New Year’s resolution will be to find more ways to “make a difference” in my community and in the lives of those I come in contact with throughout the year. I hope you will join me and find ways to “make a difference”, too.
