Be the Change You Wish to See in the World
Ghandi
A card with the above quote sits near my desk in my studio. It has been with me for many years. It flows with a belief that I have held most of my life that change happens one person at a time and, if we really want to effect change, then we need to do so one person at a time………and what better time to start influencing people to make good choices than when they are young!
This past week seemed rather mundane in many ways for me –packing many boxes and just a tiny bit of stitching.
Tiny Bit of Stitching
Lots of boxes!
But something happened tonight that reminded me of those core beliefs and all that I spent many years coaching people in with my friend, Tom Crum. My dear granddaughter who will be four in September shared a ‘necklace’ that she got at school today.
There wasn’t time to hear the story behind the ‘necklace’ but if my granddaughter’s preschool is acknowledging the kids in the Mighty Lions classroom for being peacemakers, I feel pretty good about our future prospects.
And, that thought seemed worthy of a blog post!
Linking to Nina Marie’s Off the Wall Friday.
Bless your GD’s school and bless your sweet wee grand-daughter — “blessed are the peace-makers, for they shall be called the children of God”…:-)
Hugs and happy packing!
What a great post. Not sure who is the most proud, your granddaughter or you. I am awed that you are still finding time to stitch!
What a positive blip on the radar, Judy. Thank you! And your granddaughter and her school!
