2012 Has been a great year. We have seen moments that brought tears for happy, sad, successful and celebration. Some have touched our lives forever and some for the last time. There have been moments that stopped our hearts and tested our faith.
Through it all we have connected the dots and created the links of life that will bind us for the next period of experience...2013.
Ever year they publish the list of things we searched for...and some of my favorites made the list....
Here are my favorite 2012 Youtube moments....Share yours too!
Sarah Churman is a local mom, author and neighbor. Her story is so touching and the video is so real as to what feelings overtake us when something changes our reality to the extent to take us to a new life.
Authur's battle was huge, but even when others gave up on him, he found someone to be his champion. Can still make me cry...but I love to watch him WIN against all the odds.
I am not a big tv watcher...commercials, too much violence, too little content, it just became something I have learned to not make a part of my daily routine. But the sharing of tv good news on facebook has been such a great thing for me. When TV programs take time to share the good stuff, it kinda makes me miss it...well just a little bit.
My job is all about helping our folks to reach for some dream they have. For some it's to be able to work a little and make a pay check, to learn skills and move them towards a community job and some just to be a success in everyday life. Our team at COI loves to make those little moments count big...and that is why I share this next video. We each should have moments like this. An OPPORTUNITY to shine in a big or even little way.
This is a family story...and although it is not new to 2012, it is one that stays with me year after year. The commitment from this father to his son is an amazing story and testimony of love and success.

Next is one of my favorite local love stories. The reason it is a favorite is because of the way they met, and the people that they are. Julie is a new friend, only known her for about a year and most of our friendship is facebook based. We don't really have the chance to see each other much...but I keep up with her good news online. She is a perpetual volunteer. She gives of her time and shares information about many local nonprofits doing good work in our area. Her love story started when she met another volunteer while they were both delivering lunches to elderly and home bound in Tarrant County for Meals on Wheels. Here is a little snippet about their recent nuptials and how they met...and how others can honor their marriage by giving too.
