Joy Savercool You Matter Have you ever known someone who made such huge changes in their life that you were left awestruck and impressed to the point you wanted to change your life too? Have you ever witnessed someone transcend themselves into an amazingly new person who set their sights on something and got it? Have you ever watched someone decide to make a change in their life and do whatever it took to get there? Joy Savercool has been that per- son for me. I have had the ‘joy’ of watching Joy shift and reshape her- self into an amazing person who is undeterred by setbacks or road- blocks. I giggle in enthusiasm watching her set and meet her goals. I anxiously await to see her next achievement in anticipation of her success. I have yet to meet any- one in this community who is hun- grier, more excited or more ener- gized to be all they can be. Joy has a presence that screams talk show host, public speaker or corporate trainer. Joy has an effer- vescence that rubs off onto your psyche and leaves you feeling you can darn near do anything short of walk on the sun, but what is most impressive and why she matters today is her desire to be, do and have things that matter to her. Joy is an example of someone who took the desire to be the change she wanted to see in the world. She let go of things that were not serving her, edu- cated herself about who she wanted to be and meticulously set out to achieve greatness. She reads, studies, and seeks out ways to be successful. Joy is an example of someone who took the desire to do amazing things in this lifetime that will make her life worth living. She has set goals about places she wants to go, people she wants to meet and activ- ities she wants to experience and she has taken the steps to do these things. She doesn’t just dream, she takes action. Faydra Rector You Matter what they can do to be, do and have the things in life they want. It is all possible. It is all avail- able and it is all within your ability to receive it. Be like Joy, live up to your name. Assess your life, change your life, live your life to the fullest. Joy, you matter because you have a zest for life that is inspiring and encourages others to live better and happier. You are an asset to this community and impress me every day with your kindness, wisdom and happiness. I know you will accomplish many things in this world and teach others how they can be as tal- ented as you are. What do you want to be, do and have in this lifetime? What changes do you need to make to get there? Don’t know? Then educate yourself until you do. Don’t believe you can? Then spend time with some- one like Joy who has walked the walk and loves to share with others Faydra Rector, MA is a mental health administrator, author, public speaker, educator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.

Through the Girls Inc. Leadership and Communi- ty Action program offered for 6th grade girls during the spring semester, partic- ipants donated 30 hand- made fleece tie blankets to the local American Red Cross of Northeastern Cal- ifornia during the recent community blanket drive. The program encour- ages girls to connect with their community through outreach and advocacy. Girls learn about different leadership styles, discuss what it takes for groups to work together, and identi- fy potential issues or prob- lems within their commu- nities. Then the group takes action, coming up with a community service project and seeing it through to the end. “In the case of this Jackson Heights group, the girls came up with their idea right away,” says Emily Westphal, executive director of Girls Inc. of the Northern Sacramento Val- ley. “They saw a need to support families after common disasters in our Military - Rice Navy Seaman Jeremy C.

An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Sta- tions". This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Bat- tle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic war- rior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly "Navy" flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. How to submit items Community news may be submitted to the Daily News at clerk@redbluffdailynews.com.
