the big give ...

I am a huge fan of Oprah's show the big give ...
I am glad that people are becoming aware of the joy you can get from giving to other people ...
this is not a new feeling for me,
as I would like to think that it is my lifestyle ...

I believe in people ...
I believe that people can make all the difference in the world for other people ...

that sometimes it is just a touch,
a thought,
a smile ...
an eye connection ...

just letting someone know that they are being heard and or seen ...
the simple words ...
the simple connection ...

I think often we go through life
doing things that we are not even aware of that impact other people ...
perhaps the time has come to open our own awareness and to deliberately seek out others ...
the time for a kinder, gentler world
where one smiles at a stranger ...
offers a hug to a friend,
food to someone that needs it ...
it does not need to take a lot of money or time,
but it does involve giving of yourself
even a little bit ....

the two second eye contact ...
throw in a smile for free
the kind that lights up your face ...

check out the one you will get in return ...
of course they might think that you are some weirdo strung out on something BUT
then again they might just think
WOW, that person smiled at me ... how awesome ...

so my friends,
go
get out there
give of yourself .......
feel the joy !!!
