Make a Change -- Grassroot Style

Putting all politics aside for the moment...

I do love to write. I always have. I don't know for sure how good at it I am, but love it just the same. When I graduated from High School one of my English teachers told me to not let my spelling and grammer skills stop me from writing. There are experts out there that can help you with that. Your content ability as great. That being said...

I have always wanted to change the world, and make it a better place for everyone who lives here. The longer I live, the more I see that I truely am powerless over people, places, and things. That doesn't mean I can't make a difference. I can "Love My Neighbor as Myself" and look at what I find objectional about me. I CAN change me. Do I make a resolution, and then break it, YES. Looking at how many times I have tried to quit smoking cigarettes, yet still smoke is just one example of that. I just put my best foot forward each day, doing the best I can. Somedays I do better than others, but I don't give up.

I present the following challanges to myself and anyone who wishes to join me in 2007:

Smile at a stranger.
Learn more about something you "hate" or don't understand.
Tell family and friends you love them a little more often.
Do random acts of kindness.
Talk about what is right instead of what is wrong.
Say "I'm sorry" if you make a mistake.
Forgive someone who hurt you.
Build someone up.
Give a compliment when you see someone or something you like.

Please feel free to add to this list.
Lets make the world a better place, grassroot style!
