慈濟在美國已經進入第30年了，位於北加州的舊金山支會也即將邁入25週年。

回顧25年前， 髒亂的中國城街道上，出現了一群身穿藍天白雲的慈濟志工，他們是如何讓只會說廣東話和台山話的街坊鄰居開始認識他們、接納他們、進而加入志工的行列，成為慈濟一家人? 

今天的節目中，我們邀請到曾經擔任舊金山支會第二任負責人的陳雪玲師姊，來和大家輕鬆話當年。

   碧珠師姊成長過程非常平順，她也是位全職媽媽，但她不封閉自己，多方面閱讀書籍充實知識，深知教育子女的重要性，國家興亡，匹夫有責都列入她的教育理念裡，也許她一直有這樣的善念，在一次因緣際會遇上慈濟活動，看到上人法相就感動落淚，觸動內心深處的大愛，從此情牽慈濟近30年。

   師姊說她是如此愛慈濟，上人的四大志業，八大法印，緊緊跟隨，尤其台灣921重大災難，華航空難，八八水災，她從不缺席積極投入救災，膚慰，災難中示現的苦相，讓師姐見苦知福，更體悟生命無常，國土為脆！

    碧珠師姊聞思如法，道心恒持，聞法入心身體力行，以六度萬行在菩薩道上，法入心法入行，讓自己的慧命繼續延長，是典範，讚嘆不已！

每日一句：Life is the most difficult exam. Many people fail because they try to copy others, not realizing that everyone has a different question paper.

Turns out, nothing. The very act of not working has made it possible for the hum to return, as if the hum's engine could only refuel while I was away. Work doesn't work without play.

It takes a little time, but after a few months, one day the floodgates open and there's a rush, and I find myself standing in my office filled with an unfamiliar melody, full on groove inside me, and around me, and it sends me spinning with ideas, and the humming road is open, and I can drive it and drive it, and I love working again. But now, I like that hum, but I don't love that hum. I don't need that hum. I am not that hum. That hum is not me, not anymore. I am bubbles and sticky fingers and dinners with friends. I am that hum. Life's hum. Love's hum. Work's hum is still a piece of me, it is just no longer all of me, and I am so grateful.
