For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars… the house… the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
This excerpt from Linda Ellis’s The Dash, a 36 line poem that has touched millions of lives around the world. No matter what struggles you are working through right now, I know that this poem encourages all of us, regardless of the situation, to make the most of today. Take a look at our movie, it combines beautiful photography with the resonant words of Linda’s poem:
What is important to you? What, at the end of your dash, will you look back and treasure? Go out and do that today, and let us know what happens!

We are truly blessed with the privilege of being given the priceless gift of “This Day’,
Let us therefore, embrace it with the brightest of smiles,
Untie the ribbons with thanksgiving,
Remove the wrapping paper with a song of praise,
as we enjoy every breath, every second of This Day, It is a precious Gift, ours to behold,
Given to us, lovingly by our Heavenly Creator,
This Day,
Yesterday is no more,
And tomorrow is just a dream, ,
No need to look back,
No need to run to the future,
But, This Day is all we have,
Why not? share a smile, a kind word, give from our hearts
our purest love,
Do our jobs with our best foot forward,
Give thanks with a grateful heart humbling ourselves before God and man,
In order to achieve the greatest benefit of our gift, ‘THIS DAY’…..
