Sweet note that we received today ...

On this New Year Eve, I want to express love for my mothers.

We all love our first mother -- a woman who gave us birth, raised us, and loved us dearly with all that she had to offer. It's a love that lasts forever.

Extending that concept, I also love my motherland -- where I was born, and the many places around the world that I have called home.

Even further, I also love our grandmother -- planet Earth. It is not just a grandmother, it is the grandest of all mothers. Mother Earth provides us the environment that makes it possible for us to sustain and maintain our life and also the quality of life. It also makes sacrifices for us that our 'natural' mother does. It does love us just as much, but we often take it for granted.  On this New Year’s Eve, I resolve -- and invite all of you to join me -- to respect and love mother Earth and appreciate and protect the environment that it provides for us.

I believe it is the mission of Servicespace through its various projects. In this sense, is Servicespace also not as much as a mother? With help of all of its volunteers, it strives to make life better for so many.  It has certainly changed mine.  Many kudos to all of you.

Love, peace, and joy,
