It's your choice

What's the difference between marriages that last 10 years and ones that last 50? Choices! We may not always "feel" like we love those we are married to, but it's only then when we can truly choose to love our spouses. Choose today to love those to whom you committed your lives, even if it doesn't "feel" right. Make the Change!

It's Your Turn

There are so many times I pass by a place day after day and say to myself, why doesn't anyone take care of that piece of land, or the corner, or I drive up to a building and see a huge dirt spot and say how horrible that looks and wonder why someone doesn't just spread some grass seed on it. I figured out this week, it’s because everyone is just like me, they pass the same spot and ask the same questions and no one does it. So this week if you have a certain spot that you have really been complaining about lately and can work on it and make it look better, then just do it. You will probably make so many people happy and be a local hero. Make the Change!

Everyone needs someone to talk to!

I've been walking a lot lately and have met some great people, but the other day I met a homeless man, most homeless people have a great story of tragedy to tell and then ask for money and tell another story of tragedy, but this man was happy, he had no tragic tale to tell, just how he was lonely and was wanting to know some information about current events and the weather. We talked and I realized that some times we like to throw money at problems, buy "things" that we think will make a difference, but in some cases our time is all that's really needed. Take the time to share yourself with someone who needs you, it may be the best gift you can give! Make the Change!

Serving and Protecting

They are everywhere we go, shopping centers, malls, government buildings, they protect us in the background, rarely getting recognized for their work, getting paid sometimes little for their efforts, who are they? Security Guards, this week if you happen to see one, let them know you appreciate their efforts, Make the Change!

Laugh a little, it's good for you!

There's an old saying, laughter is good medicine, and laughter seems to fill the body and soul with energy and renews a broken spirit. Often we forget about how effective laughter can be in healing those who are depressed or whose lives are falling apart due to any number of things. Today, find a way to make someone smile and laugh, it's not as hard as you think, but can make a world of difference in someone's day, Make the Change!

The Gift of Giving

We all enjoy getting presents, or buying ourselves something we've been wanting for awhile, but today, think of something that you were going to buy yourself or a present you were going to get and instead of buying it, spend that money on someone else. I promise you that the joy of giving far out weigh's the joy of receiving. Make the Change!
