This morning I read a quote by Leo Buscaglia that says ” Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
Then I went and taught my Global Citizen class and we were discussing moral codes and ethics. We were talking about what would you do if….
you saw a person put something in someone’s drink - would you tell?
you saw a person you know mug another person you know - would you call 911?
you knew that someone was cheating on a mid-term exam - would you tell?
The class and I came to the realization that its always the little things that make the difference. Would you tell~most of them said yes, but its always the little factors that get in our way.
I came back full circle to the quote. It is the small gestures that make a difference. It is a smile, a kind word, a hug. Those are the things we value the most. Yes, its important to do the big stuff, but it is the small daily stuff, of listening and being there, giving a hug just because or because a shoulder is needed. This is what connects us to each other. This is what life is about.

Today I spent the day looking at what I wanted to do. This morning I read about a static stating that 95% of people who go to seminars or read books never do anything with the information. I thought what? Then I started thinking, I guess I had better hold that mirror up and look at myself. I don’t want to be part of that stat. I am a doer, not just a weekend seminar junky.
So here is my blog. I will keep them short, cause I like short blogs. Occassional I am sure that I will find something that I just have to share and it might be long but I wanted to start. Today was the day to write the first blog, write the first words and get it out there.
I am not that stat and I hope you won’t be either.
