Remarkable



Remarkable. The definition of remarkable according to author and blogger Seth Godin is, "If people talk about what you're doing, it's remarkable, by definition." Are you remarkable? Is your life remarkable? Sometimes we can find remarkable in the ordinary. A friend of mine named Paula was remarkable. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother who according to her family thought she was pretty special. She also was one of the founders of an organization called Orphan Outreach. Paula was able to travel around the world reaching out to orphans and helping them to find families and homes. This is something that she began later in her life and something she was quite passionate about. The smile on her face when surrounded by these precious children told the whole story. Paula passed away this last week quite unexpectantly and too soon. But what a remarkable difference and legacy did she leave on this world. Sometimes we think we have to be a movie star or an award winning author to be remarkable. Paula showed this not to be true. People are talking about Paula and her remarkable life. What are you doing to make your own life remarkable? Here's more 
about Orphan Outreach if you are interested in learning more about Paula's efforts.
