thoughtless thoughtful thoughts

Many people say it only takes helping on person to make a great impact, or change on this world we live on.

What have you don't? who have you helped?

Me I have always been that ear, even when my whole world is crumbling around me. I am the one who gets the call at 3 am to go pick someone up or just to listen to someone who upset. I was once a suicide hot-line volunteer. I collect old cell phones and charges for domestic violence shelters because they can still call 911.  Everybody complains about the world being how it is yet not many do anything to change it.

What have you been planning to do? why arent you doing it?

If your waiting for the perfect time it might never come. Quit procrastinating donate clothes to a local domestic violence shelter, even your kids clothes can help with that.

Volunteer at a homeless shelter for just one day, see what it feels like and the out look it gives you on your life. 

The real challenge in life is to challenge yourself. Breakdown the barriers and walls holding you back, go out do something, be someone more then a Mom although it is the greatest joy in life, life holds more. 

Look around your home, how many toys do you have that you don't use? how many clothes or shoes have your children out grown? extra carseats or strollers? find somewhere to give those things rather then tossing them away.

Remember no matter how hard you may think your life is someone out there has it harder. No matter how hard your day has been, some people don't have anywhere to rest that night.

So what are you going to do to change the world? make the world a better place for our children?

Just a small gesture to a child can change that child for life.
