"Kindness is not an afterthought to our work. It is the driving power for everything we do. it is the lens we view every challenge through. To me, almost every problem can be solved with kindness".

- Lady Gaga

This was a great grounding statement for our team. W endeavour to allow kindness to be the motivation for all that we do within our walls; with the gifts that we make and wrap, how we treat each person who walks through our doors and how we treat one another. We would encourage all of you, our #gogiver community, to do the same. We will find, even on our worst days, the kindness ecpressed where you are, holds the capacity to uplift and encourage our hearts. 

As part of Calgary's dynamic community, we each hold the privilege of contributing to the culture of our city. We have this incredibly powerful tool in our arsenal, and we would like to challenge you and your organization to Pay it Forward with us. Think about some of the ways that you and your organization give back and let's share those stories. Find new and innovative ways to Pay it Forward. If you need fresh inspiration or resources, we of course are here to support you, however in whatever you chose to do, the importance lies in the need to encourage and uplift our city.
