Great article Peter. I think there are many little ways that we can make a difference. I’ve recently started smiling to everyone I see on the street that I pass by. Some of the reactions I get are surprising and it’s always wonderful to see someone genuinely smile back at you. =)

Kim and Peter,
I don’t see how you can raise a “wonderful child” if you don’t have a spirit of making a contribution to the wider world. Xavier is a bit young to understand much right now, but it’s worth thinking about how you can include him in the giving/sharing process. We’re all in this together, and including the children is one of the best gifts we can give them.

Again, great post.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone. I thought I might have gone a bit too Kumbaya on you with this one…. so I’m happy to hear you liked it.

I really enjoyed reading this article about ways we can all make a difference. Volunteering is my favorite way to give back.

I’ve only just started reading this blog in the last few weeks, but it’s definitely one of my favourites – so thanks for putting this stuff out there in the world for us to see.

This is a great post – I think it’s a wonderful example for people who perhaps aren’t naturally inclined to worry about things like this, that there is always room for improvement & development. Even if you aren’t quite ready to do some of the things that are identified as development needs, at least having a “to-do” list for them is a fantastic approach to your own personal development.

I always say that I want to know what people’s ideals are, what they dream of for the world – rather than what they know can be done practically. We can work out the practicalities of everything but if you at least put the ideals/values on your “to-do” list you can come back to them & iron them out into something practical when you’re ready.

Anyway, I’m going on. I just wanted to say I enjoy reading you.
