We are here now. Here and now we can make a difference. No argument. No excuses. Only committment. We are already committed, whether we choose to believe we are or not. Commit to the commitment.
“I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”
~ Frodo
“So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil.”

I totally believe one person can make a difference – the result may not be obvious but any effort one makes to step out of one’s self is worth it to someone, somewhere, some time, somehow.
And — I’ve found — that effort pays off for you too!
Thanks Grace!
This is so true, Jo. Either I’m tuning in to this more and more or there’s really a shift going on in the world about the ways individuals can and do make huge differences to others’ lives. … Or both.
