Give 52 Week 25 - Building a Life

Give 52 Week 25
Cheryl Houston 2016

I sent this illustrated quote off to Brian Root. Brian and I have never met in person but through the magic of the internet and social media, I have watched him shine in his part of the world.

Brian works in higher education at the University of Pittsburgh at Greenburgh in Pennsylvania in Housing and Residence Life.

I decided to draw this quote for Brian because I saw it in one of his Instagram photos written on some wood in red marker when they were building a home with Habitat of Humanity and I liked it.

Brian is a positive force in this world and is making a real difference through his job and his contribution to causes like Habitat of Humanity. And isn't this quote so true?

This world is a richer place because of you, Brian! Thank you for giving so much to it and to the people around you.

This is my gift. I give it to you.

Rich or Poor

No one has

ever become

poor by

giving.

             - Anne Frank

Living & Life

We make a living by

what we get, 

but we make a life by 

what we give.

                       - Winston Churchill

Meaning & Purpose

The MEANING of life is 

to find your gift.

The PURPOSE of life is to

give it away.

                                                -Pablo Picasso

Love & Giving

Love grows by giving.

The love we give away 

is the only love we keep.

                                                   -Elbert Hubbard
