make the world a better place

I’m realising more and more recently how big a difference a smile can make!

I’ve always been a pretty big smiler, but over the last few weeks I’ve had about twice as many comments about it as normal, and I’ve had a lot more smiles back then normal too! I’ve also had many people smile at me first which is excellent cause I’ve felt really good and really appreciated it – which, I assume, is what everyone else feels too when they receive a smile!

Keep smiling :)

I’ve got my little mini journal sorted now… one to carry around with me. :)

I’m jotting down ideas of stuff that I can do to make a difference, and maybe making little plans in here too. :)

My sponsored fast raised money for an excellent charity: Abaana

I put myself out there to talk in public about it (even though I did reallllly hate microphones!!!) and people listened and gave!!

The £339.40 I raised can do wonders for the homeless children in Uganda… plus the money raised by friends who joined me in the fast!!

Please, if you can, do it!!
The charity wants to build a school in Gulu and make it available to those without homes.
At least find about it: http://www.fast4africa.org/index.cfm?do=statistics

If more people do it then the world is gradually being made into more and more of an amazing place!! :)

Recently I have been very influenced by things going on around me, in my life and my thoughts etc.

Setting myself goals on this site as set me up with the motivation I need to do great things.

I have recently started reading “The Everday Activist – Michael Norton” and I think it’s brilliant!!!

“Don’t ever leave it to the next guy to effect change. Do it yourself.”

I think that quote has played a big part in my decision to get active. It was said by Jean Gump if you wanted to know!

So anyway. At the moment I’m sorting ideas through my head about what I can do… but doing little things in the process.

I’ve set www.therainforestsite.com as my homepage… so I can simply click a button every day when I go online which triggers a donation from the sites sponsor to help save the treeees!!! :)

And then also today… I went and sat on a bench to eat my lunch whilst staring out at the harbour. I prayed to say thanks for what I had and for love on the homeless etc… and then do you know what I did? I saved my lunch, and when I saw two homeless men sat playing a guitar and badminton sticks on the floor, I walked over to them and gave them my box of watermelon. His gratitude made me feel it was truely worthwhile, and on the whole it might not have made any difference, but for those two guys you never know, it might have. :)

Basically… I’m going to change the world. :)
