"We must be the change we wish to see in the world." Gandhi.
Wow, what a simple statement with so much potential.
I ran across a poster from an artist by the name of Karen Kerney that lists simple suggestions that can help restore our eroding sense of community. Virtually everyone can do most items.
Text reads...
Turn off your TV
Leave your house
Know your neighbors
Look up when you are walking
Greet people
Plant flowers
Use your library
Play together
Buy from local merchants
Share what you have
Help a lost dog
Take children to the park
Garden together
Support neighborhood schools
Fix it even it you didn't break it
Have pot lucks
Honor elders
Pick up litter
Talk to the mail carrier
Start a tradition
Bake extra and share
Share your skills
Take back the night
Listen before you react in anger
Seek to understand
Learn from new and uncomfortable angles
Start with just a few items listed above and implement them into your life the next month or two and see what happens. Together We Can Make A Difference!
Have a great weekend.
Hollie
