Do the dishes …

This quote really makes it manageable for me, the idea of “changing the world.” I am so guilty of believing I have to do huge, life-altering things before I can be a world changer.  But if I think about it, everyone looks at this world with their own eyes, their own set of circumstances.

That neighbor lady who is a widow; the friend who lost her husband and was left to raise her babies all by herself; the one who is gradually losing her memories; or the one whose life is changing due to divorce … they’re all very real people and they circle my everyday life.

If I commit a small act of kindness toward one of them, it might truly alter the course of their day, their week or (who knows) even their life.  And this is doable!  It doesn’t even require any money or a lot of my time.  It just requires my heart, my thoughtfulness, my willingness.  Like I said at the beginning of this year’s journey … that’s how we change the world ~ one act of kindness at a time.

Thank you for walking beside me and listening to my thoughts and ideas this year. If you’ve been uplifted, encouraged or inspired, even just a tiny bit, then I’ve done what I set out to do.

I leave you with this final blessing, a quote by a Mr. Neale Donald Walsch:
