Bringing Joy for everyone
Welcome to the 31st episode of Giving Back Insights, my Thursday solo show where I talk about how our guests and their charities serve others, to explore actions each of can take to make a difference in people’s lives and to share. Today I’m discussing Celebrating and next steps which inspire us to take action. Listen to today’s episode and don’t forget to give your feedback and valuable comment. Enjoy!
Key Takeaways:
I hope you enjoyed our 3-part Giving Back Insights series on stories from our guests that have stirred our hearts.
We started with a superhero. As Spiderman, Ricky Mena’s story about a young man named Ivan is nothing short of a miracle.

Robert Clancy back in the studio shared an incredible moment of magic during a Special Olympics fundraiser and the spirit of giving back that he sees all around him. http://robertclancy.us/
A highlight from my conversation with Krista Gawronski about a girl named Lilly and the Universe working its magic.
Fourth of July was our birthday, our 1 year anniversary. Happy birthday to us, and thanks for being here! Today’s cover has the cover of “Will It Fly” by Pat Flynn. It’s kind of the theme of this show.
There are a bunch of fun little-animated images, and they’re all a little crazy. If you asked me the theme, I think celebration would be top of mind.
Celebration vs. Being entertained or amused: see what Jon Vroman from The Front Row Foundation, www.FrontRowFoundation.org, has to say about that in his book The Front Row Factor – Transform your life with the art of moment making
So much has happened in a year.
