We can all make a difference in this world.
Every single day we have the opportunity to do that.
I start every day with this as part of a prayer --
I ask to be blessed so that I can make a difference.
I never know how that difference will come about or what it will be.
I just open myself to the possibility.
By today, there isn't a single person in any civilized part of the world who hasn't heard about the destruction and devastation in Haiti.
Some of you will have already made your financial donations to help through the Red Cross in your own country, or perhaps through some other goodwill organization.
Perhaps you are still looking for somewhere that you can do something in a way that is right for you.

Yesterday I was reading Deryn Mentock's blog.
An incredible artist and a very faith based soul, Deryn immediately went into action when she read about the disaster in Haiti.
Make a difference.
Please.
If you are unable to bid on this beautiful piece of jewelry, please make a donation through paypal.

If you are unable help financially
then praying,
sending positive thoughts,
whatever it is you do,
please do it.

I am just so amazed with how open so many hearts are...it gives me hope in the face of it all.
Being the change...
Love to you !
Beautifully said, Sherry!!!
Right there with you, feeling so sad for the devastation of this country.
I was trying to explain this tragedy to my daughter. For help I went back to Mr. Rogers, who said that when you talk to kids about bad events, focus on the people who are doing good.
So here we are. You, Sherry, doing good.
Amen to an on point quote!
I love that Ghandi quote. It reminds me of Michael Jackson singing, "If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change."
Sherry, caring to the last! You are a lovely and wonderful person. Bless you x
Your post conveys such an important message.....we all need to help in whatever way we can because we are all connected together in this crazy world. Ghandi had so much wisdom.
wonderful post & I've always love that quote

I am touched by the outpouring of help to Haiti. The danger isn't in the earthquake but the aftermath for days and even months afterwards. With that magnitude, there will be plenty of families displaced for a long, long time.
So glad that you posted about the auction.
The beauty is people's souls is made apparent in times like these, and it's stunning to behold. :)
i love that saying. we helped collect donations from this neighbourhood today.
I have been praying constantly for these poor people. It is a tragedy that affects so many.
absolutely. praying is power.
