BEAUTY

You 

are as beautiful 

as you make 

others feel.

Win - Win!

Give with an open heart and expect nothing in return.  

It's a win-win for everyone involved!

The Most Rare and Valuable Gifts...

What we truly appreciate in life; rarely are the things that can be bought. 

The things that are given freely from the heart and soul,

are the most rare and valuable gifts to share and receive.

What People Say vs. What People Do...

The older I get 

the less I listen to what people say 

and the more I look at what they do. 

~ Andrew Carnegie

FULL-TIME PHILANTHROPIST

When Carnegie retired from business in 1901, he set about in earnest to distribute his fortune. In addition to libraries, he provided hundreds of church organs to local communities.  Carnegie's wealth helped to establish numerous colleges, schools, nonprofit organizations and associations both in his adopted country, as well as in Scotland and throughout the globe. His most significant contribution, both in terms of money and in terms of enduring influence, was the establishment of several endowed trusts or institutions bearing his name.

By the time of his death in 1919, Andrew Carnegie had given away about $350 million, but the legacy of his generosity continues to unfold in the work of the trusts and institutions that he endowed.

Charity...

Charity may begin at home, 

however 

it does not end at home.

There never was any heart 

truly great and generous,

that was not also tender and compassionate.
