Jocelyn and Zya

Their friendship was instant the first time they met over a year ago.......

7 year old Wishes Made

Her happiness filled the room, her heart full of wishes. The magic within still exits. May you my beloved, live, laugh and enjoy each moment.

You are my treasure!

The Dora Cake

Jocelyn was pleased with her Dora cake that Aunt Tana brought. One last look before we all got to partake in a bit of sugar.

Nelson Mandela

Our deepest fear
is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God
that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
it's in Everyone!
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,our presence automatically liberates others!

Wanted to share the words of one of the worlds best examples of Truth, Love and Light of the Creator!

Amy's Fabulous Goodbye Poem

Amy wrote a wonderful story in the prose of a poem describing her personal relationships with each staff person. It brought laughter, tears and pure emotion. Amy is a rare and beautiful person that I am so glad and fortunate to have had the opportunity to interact.

The efforts of her 6 years at the ALS Association can not be summed up with mere words......

All the best to you and your new endeavor. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Thank you!

Blessings and Light for your new adventure.

Amy taking in everyone saying farewell.........

Amy has given the last 6 years of her time and effort to the ALS Assocation of GA. Always with a calm and diplomatic demeanor. Her presence will be greatly missed. Although.....she has given hints to some volunteering during walk season!!!!!

The first Beautiful voice

Crystal's voice is the welcome and direction to Patients Services. A kind soul that offers herself every day to helping others. A personal "Thank You" for your tireless contribution.
