Brick Oven Courtyard Grille will give you a $10.00 gift certificate for helping support our community bydonating to Working Class Hero Fund. Go to
for more information.
Working Class Hero Fundis a newly established organization founded on the tenet that there are many good, hard working people intoday’s society that experience traumatic events that leave them unable to meet basic necessities. While these individuals wouldchoose not to seek charity, they find themselves in an unenviable position of needing assistance, and then find that they do not meetguidelines of more traditional providers.WCHF will provide crisis funding for individuals that can prove they are gainfully employed and can show need. Participants must be able to articulate what circumstances caused the crisis, and what steps they plan to take to prevent similarcircumstances from occurring again. Funds will not be distributed to the individuals, but directly used to re-solve the immediate crisis. Participants will not be asked to repay the amount, but will be asked to sign an ethi-cal contract that will require that they in somehow “pay forward” the good will assistance
t
hat was given tothem. That “pay it forward” can be as simple as helping a friend in need, mowing the lawn of an elderly neigh- bor, or volunteering at a local non-profit. Assistance can only be granted 1 time within a calendar year.
Did you ever wonder
what the Daffodil Principle was? The story of "The Daffodil Principle" originallyappeared nearly ten years ago in Jaroldeen Edwards' book
Celebration!
This month, in honor of Spring, I share the DaffodilPrinciple with you. I was reminded by a friend about this story through a recent email.Several times my daughter, Julie, had telephoned to say, "Mom, you must come see the daffodils before they are over." I wantedto go, but it was a two-hour drive from my place by the beach to her lakeside mountain home."I will come next Tuesday," I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third call. The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I got inthe car and began the long, tedious drive.When I finally walked into Julie's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, "Forget the daffodils, Julie! The road is invisible in the cloudsand fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and the children that I want to see bad enough to drive another inch!"My daughter smiled calmly, "We drive in this all the time, Mom.""Well, you won't get me back on the road until it clears and then I'm heading straight for home!" I said, rather emphatically."Gee, Mom, I was hoping you'd take me over to the garage to pick up my car," Julie said with a forlorn look inher eyes."How far will we have to drive?"Smiling she answered, "Just a few blocks, I'll drive ... I'm used to this."After several minutes on the cold, foggy road, I had to ask "Where are we going? This isn't the way to the ga-rage!""We're going to the garage the long way," Julie smiled, "by way of the daffodils.""Julie," I said sternly, "please turn around.""It's all right, Mom, I promise, you will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."After about twenty minutes we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of thechurch I saw a hand-lettered sign: "Daffodil Garden"We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Julie down the path. As we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped.Before me lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it down over the mountain peak and slopes.The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns, great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, saffron, and butter yel-low. Each different-colored variety was planted as a group so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue.
February Where in the World Answer:
Chicken IslandThailand / Krabi
Five acres of the most beautiful flowers I had ever seen!"Who planted all these?" I asked Julie."It's just one woman," Julie answered, "She lives on the property. That's her home," and shepointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory.We walked up to the house and on the little patio we saw a poster:Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking 50,000 bulbs one at a time by one woman 2 hands, 2feet and very little brain Began in 1958There it was ... "The Daffodil Principle"For me that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met,who, more than thirty-five years before, had begun - one bulb at a time - to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top.Still, this unknown, old woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. She had createdsomething of magnificent beauty, and inspiration.The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration:* learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time, (often just one baby-step at a time)* learning to love the doing,* learning to use the accumulation of timeWhen we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can ac-complish magnificent things. We can change the world."It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Julie, "What might I have accomplished if I had thought of awonderful goal thirty-five years ago and had worked away at it 'one bulb at a time' through all those years.Just think what I might have been able to achieve!"My daughter summed up the message of the day in her direct way, "Start tomorrow, Mom," she said,"It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of our yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson a cele-bration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask ... ""How can I put this to use today?"
Every year, high in the San Bernardino mountain range of Southern California, five acres of beautifuldaffodils burst into bloom. Amazingly, this special spot, known as "The Daffodil Garden," was planted byone person, Gene Bauer, one bulb at a time, beginning in 1958.
