Shriners Children’s Boston would like to thank Zach and Josh of Boston Volunteers for a delicious pizza delivery today! Zach was inspired by his mother, a nurse, to give back to a Boston area hospital. After bringing the idea to Josh who is a part of Boston Volunteers' leadership, Shriners Children’s Boston was chosen to be gifted with a special lunch from Regina Pizzeria. 🍕 Thank you, Boston Volunteers!

Lynn friends and neighbors, can you help tonight?

The My Brother's Table soup kitchen is likely to be short on volunteers tonight due to the storm and they always stay open for meals.

They serve about 200,000 free meals to Lynn area residents annually and they are able to do it because of the amazing volunteers that come through the doors.

If you live in Lynn or closeby, and can safely make it over tonight to help 4PM-7:30PM (or any portion), that would be greatly appreciated.

It's at 99 Willow St, Lynn: enter across from the Speedway Gas station (door to the left of loading dock). Ring the buzzer: the password is "Blizzard Buster" (just say it) :)

Kindly share, and let us know if you have any questions!

DAY 4: "Look at everything as though you were seeing it for the first time or the last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory." - Betty Smith

Adopt a sense of child-like wonder today, wide eyed and mystified at everything around you. The secret of happiness is to carry the spirit of the child into old age! As Rodney Yee explains, “Train yourself to be in awe of the subtle, and you will live in a world of beauty and ease.” Children see magic because they look for it…

DAY 3: "Beauty awakens the soul to act." - Dante Alighieri

It is said that those who are awake live in a state of constant amazement. Allow the beauty of the world around you stir your soul awake today. The beauty of awe-inspiring moments awaken us by making us feel the presence of something greater, forcing us to revisit our mental models of what’s possible. In fact, awe-inspiring experiences (including those viewed via a photograph) have been scientifically proven to enhance your well-being, and help you discover a greater sense of purpose in life. Always ”Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” ~Rumi
