"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." - Muhammad Ali

It is a fun time of year. We are just coming off Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Spending time with family and friends that maybe we haven’t seen in a while usually will lead to fun memories. There is a sense of a new beginning in the air; we have new chances to improve ourselves or our relationships. With all this optimism and excitement, it can be easy to forget that not everyone has these same feelings. This time of year can be challenging for many people in our lives: husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, cousins, friends, etc. We don’t always know what is happening in other people’s lives. We don’t know what issues or demons they may be facing. Many people can put on a brave face and make it seem like everything is ok when it really isn’t. This week, reach out to your people and check on them. Make sure they are all doing ok, and if they aren’t, be there for them. Let’s all be servant leaders, and let us all start right in our backyard.
