MLK Days of Service and Event Series
MLK Days of Service and Event Series: Jan. 16-23, 2016
The theme this year for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Days of Service and Event Series is “Keep Moving Forward,” based on this quote by MLK:
“If you can’t fly then run,
if you can’t run then walk,
if you can’t walk then crawl,
but whatever you do
you have to keep moving forward.”
Join us as we celebrate Dr. King’s life and work through two days of service and a series of engaging events at the University of South Carolina, as we give back in honor of Dr. King’s life and work, and empower one another to “keep moving forward.”

Happy Holidays!
Happy Holidays!
One of the pleasures of each Holiday season is the opportunity to say “Thank you” for your business and team work which has made Gallman Consulting a successful company. When GPS started 30 years ago, we did not envision that our company would be the organization it is today.
It has been 30 years of empowering individuals, developing a staff team and business partners of which we are proud to be associated, and most importantly, working together to make a difference in the lives of all the people that surround us and whom we associate with every day. We are all truly privileged to work in a job where we can make a difference in the lives of others every day.
Wishing you and your loved ones all the wonder and magic of Christmas only to lead you into a very prosperous 2016!!
Blessings,
Charlie Gallman & Gallman Consulting Staff

Show some kindness
Show some kindness on World Kindness Day
13 November 2015
World Kindness Day
World Kindness Day – Kindness is universally appreciated so why not show some on 13 November 2015!
Mark Twain summarised kindness when he said it is “the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see”.
World Kindness Day has been recognised in many countries throughout the world for a number of years. Driven by The World Kindness Movement, the day involves people around the world showing that we can think about more than ourselves and make the world a better place because of it.
In June 2010 Louise Burfitt-Dons and David Jamilly, both members of the World Kindness Movement and humanitarians, launched a Kindness Day UK. Their aim is to highlight good deeds done across the country.
Everyone’s idea of kindness is different. Helping an elderly person cross the road, giving someone a compliment, volunteering at a local children’s charity, or distributing baked goodies in your workplace – it all counts.
You’ll also notice a wide range of people quoted on kindness on the official homepage. From comedian Jo Brand to Kay Boycott at Shelter they only reinforce the significant role of kindness in a person’s life no matter who they are.
I thought I’d need to hop on a plane and go do some humanitarian work in an African orphanage or something equally as significant. But it turns out I can make the world better by being kind to the people around me. Its so simple yet so true.
So, whether you hold your tongue and don’t voice mean thoughts or do something proactive to be kind to others, you can play your part in the day.
For half a minute on 13 November, you are asked to contemplate kindness and selfless acts that have had a lasting impact on you. Nothing huge, or shouting it from the rooftops – it’s a gesture as gentle as the notion itself.
Remember what Wordsworth said; “the best bits of a man’s life are the simple, random acts of kindness and love”.
It really doesn’t take much to show someone somewhere an act of kindness – so what will you do on 13 November?
