I love that video! I’m ready to get her the Caroline doll myself after watching that…especially since our sidewalk really needed that raking. Great work! I loved your thoughts on service, and how each “leg” of service adds a different trait to us. So insightful.

Mary is DARLING! Oh my! What a beautiful video!
One cold windy yucky day, please bring Mary (and Gabe!) over. Tell her to bring her favorite American Girl doll. She HAS to see my collection. I have 9 American Girl dolls and more clothes and things than anyone really should.
I think the first 2 legs of the stool are more important than the 3rd one. I once had a roommate that was so focused on trying to save the world with humanitarian service that she pushed herself to the point of misery and exhaustion. Her relationships with her family and friends suffered. I always wished that she could understand that she made a difference just by being her lovely self. So if any leg on the stool has to be wobbly, I think the 3rd leg should be it.
And for the record, your video was way more fun to watch than the top 6 finalists. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

I dunno, friend. I think sometimes it’s easier to focus on the great big world and neglect the people closest to us. It seems to me you have the order just right. Not saying it isn’t great to teach our kids to branch out, too, but this video just resonates with the truth of the power of simple things. It made me a little teary.
