Dear Giving Girl,
So many things seem to go unnoticed or seem too small or insignificant to be really seen, even though we put our whole hearts and souls into the doing of them. Sometimes we even feel like giving up on our efforts because we could not possibly be making a big enough difference to even really make any difference at all.
This is one of those little itty bitty lies that have enormous impact. OF COURSE what you are doing is making a difference, whether it seems to be seen or not. When you are caring for a child or children, day after day, you are making all the difference in the world to them. When you smile at someone on the street, you may be the best thing that has happened to them in weeks. When you do your best in your career, you have no idea how many eyes are watching and what an impact you are on them. When you express yourself through your creative art, you are giving a gift to the world that could never be given by anyone else.
The most important effect your goodness has, though, is the impact it has on YOU. When we do what is deepest in our hearts, when we give all that we have, when we share our very best, it glows through our skin, it gives us new energy, it squeezes out every sadness, fear, or frustration. It makes our life FULL and BEAUTIFUL and SOOOO ALIVE.
Live with all you've got. Be the brightest light with the biggest smile. Leave every person and place happier than you found it.
And you'll see that you ARE making SUCH a big difference. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
