Last night I had the privilege of playing the Gertrude Ford Castello Center on the campus of Ole Miss.
I sat on the stage and couldn’t help but be filled with joy over the wonderful people that showed up to help The Ole Miss Women’s Council raise money to provide scholarships, and mentoring for some very amazing students I met before and after the show.
Simply put; if these students are ‘our future’ we are in good hands.
So, to the Ole Miss Women’s Council, (http://www.umf.olemiss.edu/omwc/) thank you for asking me to be a part of your event, and thank you for making it possible for these very fine young men and women to go to college, and earn their degree. I love it that you not only award them with the financial help, but you mentor them, and you don’t forget them during their years at Ole Miss, or after! I could tell from speaking with your recipients last night that they do not take their gift for granted, and they understand it is a privilege.
I found strength, hope, and encouragement by their attitudes, their attention, their respect, their smiles, laughs, manners, and their appreciation of the gift and opportunities given to them.
I love people!
