Have you ever felt discouraged because you don’t think you are

Making a Difference

that matters in the world?

I often feel that I should be doing more to create positive change in the world. But then I step back and realize that each of us makes a difference in every little thing we do. Every choice we make, makes a difference one way or another.

Sharing a kind word with a clerk in a store, choosing to eat more plant-based foods, smiling at a stranger…who knows what affect our everyday tiny actions have?

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Presence and Healing

I believe that when we work on healing ourselves and becoming more present that we are making a difference. When we choose experiences that focus on being over consuming we are making a difference. And when our actions are rooted in joy we make a difference.

Letting others see our true selves is an act that makes a difference.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

What are some of the ways of making a difference that speak to you?

May you walk in beauty.
