My Brother Hiram Ring is in in the BIG Time!
I was listening to WXPN today and at aproximately 1:30 eastern time. Hirams new Christmas tune "Just A Single Season" came on. Sandwiched between Snow Patrol and Madeleine Peyroux, in the hour featuring, among others, Tracy Chapman and Barenaked Ladies andAretha Franklin! and WXPN is a college station that is on multiple stations across Pennsilvaina. His song is also Today's pic for Philly Local Download of the Day!

HEROES CNN Tribute
Last sautuday I was on a plane headed home from a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with family in Boston, and on the losing end of a battle with a cold. I came down with a chest cold and cough I had begun battling on the trip out from Denver. All holiday weekend I valiantly consumed numerous cough drops and vitamin C to beat back the cold only to feel it linger, and with all the holiday chatter, I lost my voice.
The time spent with family was amazing. To see almost everyone together was a BIG blessing, (we get to see most family members only once every year or so as we live scattered around the country). The heavenly aroma of turkey in the oven, music and the mingle of family voices as we all caught up on the latest news from each other and reminisced of times past... what a fantastic time together.
Since I couldn't talk on the flight home I decided to put on my headphones and watch a little TV on the seat back in front of me. (Jet Blue does a great job with it's in-flight entertainment combo of direct TV and satellite radio)
I was flipping around the channels and came across CNN's Heroes Tribute show.
The show honors everyday people who are changing the world one person at a time. The things these people are doing is AMAZING! With the vision and drive to make a real difference, they are making a lasting impact on the lives of others and finding profound meaning and fulfillment in service to others.
As I watched the stories of creativity and passionate service I have been touched and I've begun to think of what I can do.
And
I wonder what you can do. I challenge you to take a few minutes to click on the CNN Heroes show. Read and watch the clips and Let it inspire you. Like my friend Michael Port says "THINK BIG" about your role in making this world a better place.
Thinking Big often starts by doing something small.
There is a HERO in all of us waiting to be set free!
