Helping out...

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy (as usual), but I got a lot done. We filmed the first few 'Wojo's Wisdom' segments and we'll be releasing the first one later this week once we get done the editing. I think you guys will really enjoy these. I've been getting a lot of great questions so we have plenty to discuss.

I also got the opportunity to help out in the community, which I really enjoyed. There's an annual event in Prince George's county called Christmas in April where they basically pick the house in most need of renovations that someone still lives in, and get together a bunch of donations and volunteers to fix it up in one day. This particular owner was wheelchair-bound and the house was not wheelchair accessible. We did tons of landscaping, built a deck with a ramp, made the bathrooms functional (there were no fully functional bathrooms in the house), painted, put down new carpet, you name it...

It was a lot of work but it was really inspiring to see people pull together for a common cause. Especially in today's world where it seems everyone is so wrapped up in their own life and issues and all we hear about on the news is doom and gloom. It reminded me that there are a lot of good people out there who genuinely care about helping their neighbor, even though they may have their own problems.
