My life has been a circus tent.

I’m learning how to juggle.

I set up a great big show.

No crowd could burst my bubble.

I’d spin a plate.  I’d throw a ball.

I’d run about, AMAZE!

I had the happy crowd abuzz

with each new feat

on stage.

But, it got harder

and harder to impress.

So many balls and plates

an inevitable mess.

Until balance seemed an impossible circus trick,

and I needed a real-life balancing act.

So, I asked the Ring-leader how it could all be done

and He a-light and full of fun

surprisingly replied,

“just spin one plate.”

Bone Marrow Donor Opportunities

Bone Marrow Donor Opportunities

 http://marrow.org/Home.aspx

Want the chance to save a life?  All they need at first is a swab in your mouth.  Check out this website for more information.

There are two ways you can help someone.  One is with the marrow taken from bone, another is from cells removed from your blood.

I tried but was rejected because of some of my skeletal problems.  But, it might be the perfect option for you to save someone just by sharing what you already have.

Check it out!  Love, DarEll

How can I discover my best use or where I have an “edge”?

Check out the work of Marcus Buckingham. http://standout.tmbc.com He writes fantastic books and they have tests that help you learn a lot about yourself. His mission is to help you reach your potential. Strengthsfinder helps you know your strengths so you can capitalize on them. StandOut takes what you would do in situations and uses that information to help you know how to apply your strengths to best advantage. They are both fabulous if you are seeking either self-knowledge or keys to best directing yourself. I highly recommend this author. Also, not a bad idea for people trying to decide what to major in or what career to pursue.
