For years now, I have been in the practice of emailing a daily wisdom or inspirational quote to my family, friends and colleagues. I’ve come to be identified somewhat with or by my daily quotes, and I personally enjoy plucking a little wisdom from them each day. Yesterday’s quote was:
“The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own,” attributed to Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881).
This quote is very appropriate for my life right now. The Breast Cancer Wellness magazine featuring my debut as assistant editor came out just this month – Fall 2007. In it, I profiled three amazing, inspirational breast cancer survivors, each of whom shared their stories to the enrichment of us all. I write these in part to be a breast cancer awareness advocate.
But, I get so much from them, too. Each lady, in her own way, essentially came back to me after seeing her story published to say, “Wow, I didn’t realize that I was doing so much!” I love that I’ve helped them see, in some small way, how amazing they are. Like the quote, I am sharing my writing ability and my own cancer experiences in helping these people share their stories and, in the process, helping them find their riches. How awesome is that?
It occurs to me that this is in the spirit of blogging, too, especially with regard to marketing and public relations – that idea of sharing what we know, sharing our riches. Sure, some of us do it to show what we know, but we’re also helping each other. It’s a win-win for us all. Again, I say, how awesome is that!

The St. Conti Communicator is a blog by me, Donna St. Jean Conti, APR, public relations practitioner, writer and breast cancer awareness advocate.
What you’ll find here are musings on the state of marketing communications, public relations, freelance writing and speaking sprinkled in with posts about my passions - The Breast Cancer Wellness Magazine & breast cancer awareness (wellness in general) and teaching our children about the environment, plus global warming and peak oil. Wide-ranging, I know, but we all have our complexities.
Please join the conversation.
DSJC.
