THE IDES OF FEBRUARY, 2010, ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS' AWARD RECIPIENTS

To recognize individuals who have given above and beyond the call of duty and who have completed ordinary tasks in an extraordinary manner, the IDES of February, 2010, recognizes the unselfish, dedicated, and heroic actions of the LOVERS OF HUMANITY. Who are these LOVERS who consistently give of themselves without any rewards or recognition? Who are these Ladder of Achievement Enthusiasts who day after day give without receiving compensation of any material and worldly possessions? When you consider all of the characteristics of these LOVERS, we proudly honor the unsung heroes of natural disasters that give others the LOVE that is expected for all human beings. In addition, these LOVERS are the professionals who offer their time, their talents, and their treasures to help the less fortunate, the hungry, the starving, the outcasts, the orphaned, the disabled, the homeless, the extreme poor, the lonely, the dying, and the "persons who fall between the cracks" based on their status and their personal resources.

The Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts respect the persons who literally place themselves in harms way in order that the "victims of many cultures" may be given the dignity and the respect that every human being on earth deserves and expects from other human beings. To be aware of the volunteers who give all of their efforts to offer others a "hand up rather than a hand out," this is the opportunity to recognize their LOVING kindness and gentleness that brings peace to a troubled and often confused world. To remember the LOVERS who sacrifice their lives even to the point of dying for another, these individuals make us proud of their gesture of "laying down their lives for the price of FREEDOM."

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE IDES OF FEBRUARY, 2010, ACHIEVEMENT LADDER AWARD RECIPIENTS WHO REALLY KNOW WHAT TRUE LOVE IS! These wonderful individuals are living the example of the source of all LOVE when they hear and listen to these words: "LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. LIVE ON IN MY LOVE. THEY WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVERS OF HUMAN BEINGS WHEN OTHERS OBSERVE YOUR LOVING ACTIONS BASED ON THE SOURCE OF ALL LOVE...THE UNCAUSED CAUSE AND THE ULTIMATE AND EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLE OF HONEST LOVE."
