“I am only one, but I am one.” - Edward Everett Hale*
Too often we think we are too small - or too old, too young, too something or not enough something - to make a difference.
The Dalai Lama reminds us that this is not true. If you've ever tried sleeping in a room in which there was one small mosquito flying about, you understand.
Today, we don't have to know how we'll make a difference - although, perhaps you do know - let's just decide that we will make a difference.
With love and courage,
Charlene

*“I cannot do everything, but I can do something," 19th-century author and minister, Edward Everett Hale, went on to say. "And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do."
THE THIRD GIFT IS COURAGE. May you speak
and act with confidence and use courage
to follow your own path.
