Heart-Shaped Balloons, Roses and a Bear….Hug

I contemplated how I would dedicate this month’s blog to volunteers and the people of Haiti who are dealing with life after the January 12, 2010 earthquake. The word that came up for me was service.

So, since Q’s B-Spot is geared toward teenagers, I want to take a brief moment to acknowledge YOU all over the world and here, in our own ‘backyard’ who served through your school, a TV show, spiritual organization, concert/telethon or fortunate enough to actually visit Haiti to help fellow youth and teens. Selfless service is one of the highest acts a human being can perform.

I salute you.

Remember to take care of self and remain focused – after all, you still have to study and keep it (your own daily life) moving, right?


Next on Q’s B-Spot: (it’s just too hot to reveal …Stay tuned!)

Teen Task: 1. Give yourself a chance. 2. Be grateful for the ability and opportunity to serve others. 3. Continue selfless service for whatever (noble) cause you have chosen 4. Give YOURSELF heart-shaped balloons, roses and a bear….hug 5. Discuss this blog with your parents or with people you feel safe sharing your thoughts.

Fun Fact: Yéle Haiti is a foundation started by Grammy-Award winning musician, producer and social entrepreneur Wyclef Jean. In response to the January 12, 2010 earthquake, Yéle Haiti has prepared and distributed over 60,000 hot meals in a pilot program that began Sunday, January 24th, 2010.
