[ISLMA-Share] Organizations that help people in poverty

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I just took my leadership team to the Josten's Renaissance conference.
There is a person, Mike Smith, that is a fantastic person to contact---very
engaging, very helpful and so on. Check out their website or Twitter.

"If you cant see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better
mirror...look a little closer; stare a little longer, there's something
inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone telling you to
quit...you built a cast around your broken heart inside yourself and decide
they were wrong....you have to believe that they were wrong."
