November 1st: Friendly Guys and Special Kids

Thanks for listening to From the Heart! Here are the details on the latest stories:



1. Good Mornin' Man!
Thad Davis greeted busy commuters in Providence, Rhode Island, with his handmade sign. He got quite a reaction- puzzled stares, casusal waves, questions, even media attention! He says, "I don't think I changed anybody's life, but I hope I made their day a little better."
How are YOU making someone's day a little better?



2. Blankets of Love


Students from kindergarten through high school put their hands and hearts together to make Valentine's Day a true day of love. The students make fleece blankets with letters of encouragement for children battling serious illnesses. The results are comforted hearts and inspired givers. Want to be part of Blankets of Love?

3. No-Email Friday!
What would life be like without memos, greetings, or chain-letter forwards? Jay Ellison, executive vice president of U.S. Cellular wanted to find out. He declared no-email Fridays and encouraged employees to do something crazy- TALK to each other instead of sending a rushed, impersonal electronic message. Now co-workers are getting to know one another and communication is improving. How would you benefit from a no-email Friday?



4. Super Mom
Orange County mom Alena Strickland demonstrates how we can all be a hero to someone. For 22 years, she's been a hero to over 112 children with special needs! Alena has provided foster care and even adopted children with special medical and emotional needs from lives of abuse. Now she's part of Child Share, and organization that finds homes and support for kids in Southern California. To find out more details and how to be involved, visit http://www.childshare.org/.
