Age means nothing. I was reminded of this today when I came across this truly remarkable young girl, Laura, who has started a spirited project by the name '25 Days to Make a Difference Campaign'. She is a role model to us all at a very ripe young age. She is doing small deeds over the course of 25 days that will make a small but meaningful difference in the lives of some. More importantly though, the project is a pass it on project that will involves many other individuals that will affect even more lives.
While I had planned to do a few activities over my holiday break to do my part this holiday season, in light of Laura's project I am going to make it my 12 acts of holiday kindness. Over the course of the next 3 weeks I am going to do 12 things that will hopefully make someones holidays a bit easier and a bit more jolly. I encourage everyone else to follow Laura's lead and attempt to do a few small things this holiday season. While you are at it email Laura with your acts and let her know that what she is doing is truly making a difference.
If you are wondering what you could possibly do and coming up blank, I encourage you to check out Laura's list of activities for inspiration. You can also feel free to post ideas to this blog and give me some ideas on what my 12 acts should be.
Remember, the holidays while extremely enjoyable for some can be extremely difficult for others. It is the season for helping our neighbors, our family, even complete strangers.
