“You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.” –Henry Drummond
This statement has certainly been true for me–even more so when I’ve done something kind for complete strangers (even those things that took relatively little effort or cost on my part but which clearly came at an important moment in their lives.) I remember feeling happy, connected, and grateful for the opportunity to be of service. And a mixture of humility and pride.

About russtowne
My wife and I have been married for over 33 years. We have 3 adult children and recently became grandparents for the first time, with a second one on the way! I founded, own, and operate an investment management and advisory firm. My wife is a Special Ed teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. In addition to our family and friends and my profession, my passions include writing poetry, song lyrics, and non-fiction short stories; tending a fern garden and small redwood grove on our property, hiking in ancient old-growth redwood forests, and watching old movie classics.
