Last Friday, Meaghan and I had the chance to be the Mavidea representatives at the annual MCCA “Seeds of Change” charity dinner.

Three things stuck out for me that I thought I would share. As usual, these most likely won’t be revelations to you, but they were good reminders to me.

First, I was reminded that there are people out there that need our help. We can argue all day long about the government’s role in helping, the politics involved or how best to help, but it doesn’t change the fact that there are people out there that need help. No matter why or how they ended up where they are, they are our fellow human beings and they need our help.

Second, I was reminded that there are people helping. People like the ones that work at MCCA are making a difference. They are, in fact, making a difference, every day.

Third, I was reminded that at Mavidea we are on the list of people that are helping. By providing Smiles on Faces and excellent customer service to organizations like MCCA we are part of them helping their customers. We are doing our part in the kindness and spirit that flow through a place like MCCA.

We heard some heart wrenching stories last Friday, but I left uplifted.

Proud to be part of a community that has places that are reaching out to help.

Proud to be part of a company that cares about our clients and our community.

We do make a difference. What a powerful realization.

I dare you to say that out loud to yourself without getting a few chills up your spine.

What an awesome opportunity.

Let’s make the most of it today.
