To make the world a better place one step at a time.



Everyday living is what we have, but how much can we actually allow ourselves to experience in today's busy 24/7 lifestyle?  Do we forget to look at the flowers, to breath in fresh air, to donate our time to a local cause, to fully connect with others, to reach beyond our limits?  Do we allow ourselves to fall into a daily routine that isn't necessarily benefiting the world's needs and perhaps our own needs?  Do we turn a blind eye to a magazine falling off a shelf, to someone dropping trash in the street, to a stranger struggling to stand up on their own?  Is this healthy living?  Can we live better?  Do we have the power to change our lives?
I believe we do and we can.  Dare you believe, too?
I invite you to join me in a challenge.  Spend the next 2 weeks welcoming 6 positive changes we can strive to achieve and experience for ourselves to bring to the world.  One of the largest challenges I face is to remember to work on the little things within myself in order to then help the larger things in life that affect the life beyond my door step.  Perhaps you think spending some time on yourself is meaningless, selfish or foolish, but one happy person in this world will create a positive energy that will spread within the world throughout your day.
Not the right time?  Don't have a second to breath?  Find a way to clear out some time in your schedule to center yourself, come back to who you are and feel the power of your presence.  And go from there.
A friend and I have compiled a list that will hopefully inspire you to begin this change with me.  Feel free to use this list, add to it, or create your own.  I only wish to inspire and create love and happiness within the daily monotonous lifestyles we frequently find ourselves living.
Get out, change your views, seek laughter and love, give your heart, bring happiness to loved ones and strangers alike.  Connect with yourself, others and this beautiful world from the dirt to the sky.
