Hi, Paula and Linda:

First, sincere congratulations to Linda on this well-deserved award which reflects the immense energy she channels into positive action to improve our world.

Second, I believe this demonstrates the sheer power of leading a spirit-driven life.  Linda appears to be living out the call to engage in social justice with the "Least of These" (Matthew 25: verse 31-45).

While secular leadership is important and valuable, I personally feel our organizations, our society, and our world are starving for leadership such as Linda and those like her are providing.

She is truly a "Lamp unto our feet", lighting the way to a better tomorrow for all.

Paula, thanks for posting this so we can know of the award today and send up little "Huzzahs" toward Miami:)

John
