"In a gentle way, 
you can shake 
the WORLD"
-Gandhi

Helping others does not have to be on a large scale. Every little thing you do can help someone. Don't think that you don't have money so you can not make a difference, you can do many things that are not monetary to change someones life. Don't feel discouraged if you only have to help once in a while. You could do something so small that you to you it is insignificant, but to the person you helped it could mean the world. 

This coming year I want to remember to make the effort to be more helpful and try to make a difference, even if it is small. 

Sometimes I think I already do enough, I work at a non-profit that works with adults with developmental disabilities like down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and autism, but I know that I can do so much more. The people that I work with make me want to be a better person. I have a truly blessed life I should share as much of what I have with others that need a few blessings in their lives.

My fiance took his whole Christmas bonus and bought toys for the children at a local children's hospital. This act was so inspiring to me. Why is it that we always think of what we want rather than what others really need.

Taking gifts to the children's hospital didn't change the world it only effected a few kids, but to those kids it was a glimmer of hope when they needed it the most.


If more of us took a few days out of the year to serve others we really could shake the World.
