"Actions expresses priorities."  Gandhi

My dear friend Annie who is no longer with us had the biggest heart, the greatest intelligence and the highest integrity of almost anyone I knew.  She also had a quick wit, a great sense of humor and the fastest comeback.  When some would say they were going to do something, her favorite line was, "Talk is cheap.  Put it in a check!"

She called them to task with that comment.  Invited them to step up and act.  So many of us are full of words.  I knew someone who was great on promises but lacking in action.  The words were there but the follow though wasn't.  We need to do what we say we're going to do.  The words should be the beginning of the process, not the end.
