STEVE MCQUEEN AT BOYS REPUBLIC!

As I previously mentioned, Steve McQueen visited The Boys Republic often throughout his life. He always remembered the boys who were students there, and his visits must certainly have been a thrill for them. I have always admired this quality about Steve. He may have been low key about his visits and his philanthropy during his lifetime, but it was always sincere. -
Perhaps one of the keys for any of us wishing to feel a deeper connection to the world around us is to become involved in a cause close to our hearts. This brings to mind the saying, "Be the difference that makes a difference". Wherever these young boys Steve visited long ago are today, I feel certain that none of them will ever forget "The King of Cool" taking a day to visit, listen and offer feedback from his own experience as a student at The Boys Republic. What could be more wonderful and validating to a young person? There may not be as many examples today of such self-less giving. But there is certainly a great deal of opportunity for all of us.
Have a nice weekend!
Michael

Hi, Michael. I've not been visiting and commenting very much lately but I'm still here. I'm still recovering from my illness and still upset over Jessica's pending divorce, but I'm getting better, praise God.
Hope you have a great weekend too, dear friend.
Much love,
Diane
All my very best to you, Diane.
Love and (((HUGS)))

Hope you are feeling better Diane.
Zuzana: Thanks so much for your visit! My program has been crashing when I visit your site for some odd reason. But xo!

Green Tea: lol! I know that over the years various people have floated the idea of an all-good news network on both radio and television. It never materialized. But, yes, I DO enjoy bringing forward positive subjects because we need them!
"Be the difference that makes a difference"
I like that quote!
Sage: I first read it when the singer Jewel Kilcher had a designated website up for starving artists to get recognition. So, perhaps it is hers or she--in the words of the late Anthony Quin--"borrowed it" from someone. The main thing is that it works! :) By the way, I am a fan of both Jewel and the late Anthony Quinn!!
