Give More Live More

I had the opportunity to listen to Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS shoes, at Baptist Health’s Bolo Bash luncheon. I was quite impressed. Although a very young man, he demonstrates wisdom beyond his years. His mission to give back to others is so simple. It’s basically what many of us where taught to do … take care of your brothers and sisters. Blake’s story is amazing and I encourage you to read about him in this month’s AY at http://www.aymag.com/view/416. As the event’s keynote speaker, he reminded me how much we take for granted each day and how truly blessed I am.

Check out his journal and comments at http://blakemycoskie.blogspot.com/2010/04/big-toms.html. This shoe was especially made for him by Terri Snowden.
