Ellen DeGeneres has been mentioned here in this space more often than any other person. This blog is about making a difference in this world - about giving back, and there is no better example than Ellen. I first applauded her courage in coming out, and I continue to be grateful for trailblazing efforts that have helped the lgbtq community. At the same time I am grateful for her generosity and her great love and kindness.
Those of you who watch Ellen's television program, now in it's 15th season, know that she closes each program by saying "Be kind to one another." That was the inspiration for a second blog I write seven days a week, (HERE) all about kindness.
Yesterday, Ellen had me in tears once again as she introduced us to TunDe and Chris and shared their story of how they had changed each other's lives not once, but twice. A huge gift was waiting for them both, and you could just see the joy!
"I have to say, It's a little strange to actually get an award for being nice and generous and kind which is what we're all supposed to do with one another," said Ellen in January of last year when she received the People's Choice Award for favorite humanitarian. "That's the point of being a human." You can say that again! Of course Ellen is actually superhuman!
