Everyone dies ...

I have always valued the quote 'Everyone dies but not everyone lives'. I have valued this because it has and continues to serve as a reminder that we all have a responsibility to be inspired to make the effort to not only make our lives better but the people around us. Oh, I am not speaking of family (that is often easy) but the people who our neighbors, our community, our state, our country and all of the world.
We received news and with a heavy heart we must report that Steve Saviello of the infamous LIM-SF newsletter that was delivered via e-mail to those that subscribed passed away over the weekend. Our condolences to Steve's family and to those who loved him.
We must confess we did not subscribe to these e-mails but many people forwarded them to us. Let us say that Steve was indeed a great man who took the time to care. Steve lived his convictions and through his actions made this a better world.
So in dedication to Steve I urge all that read this to THINK how you can do more and contribute. And for God sake, tell the truth even when it goes against you.
