TO CHANGE THE WORLD

I have a passion to change the world,and believe that every single person has the power to make a tremendous difference.Too often you're just not sure what to do,or how you can help.I hope these ideas will propel you to get started,and them guide you as you move forward.

Many ways you can make a difference won't cost you a thing!

1. Spend an afternoon with some one you know is lonely.You don't have to make it just once.Lonely people are in need of friendship.Decide to drop by every week.Send them notes.Because a lifeline for just than one person.
2. If you have flowers in your garden,share them with someone else.Take a bunch to an elderly neighbor who can no longer garden.Take some to a friend going through a hard time.Drop them off at a neighbor's house " just because ".
3. If you provide some kind of professional service,offer it for FREE once a week to someone who needs it.Free dental cleaning;Free house cleaning;Free meal at your restaurant;Free accounting service.Let your profession also be your way of giving.
4. Do you have a pool in your backyard?Offer to host a swim party for the neighborhood kids after they spend half a day cleaning up some area.
5. Send at least one email a day felling someone how much day are appreciated;thanking them for something they did for you;or telling them something like about them.
6. Send a note of appreciation to your local police station or Fire House.That doesn't happen nearly enough.
7. Donate your obsolete cell phones to a Homeless Shelter or a Shelter for Battered Woman.They can still be used to make all calls-giving a life line to someone who may desperately need it.
8. If you have an old computer that still works take it to an elderly neighbor,then commit to teaching them how to operate it enough to send and receive email.Give them a connection to the world.What a great way for them to be connected to their family that is probably online.
9. Teach a FREE class on Changing Your World at your local community college.Let their homework assignments be doing something to make a difference each week,than coming back to report on the impact.The final homework assignment will be working together as a class to do some big project in the community.What a great way to make friends and make a difference at the same time!

Kindness can change the world..
One kind thought,
One kind word,
One kind deed,
One at the time,
And the world will be transformed!!!
