How do we change the world? How do we make a difference? To one person, it can seem an impossible task. It isn’t. That power is inside each one of us. It begins simply with empathy. Compassionate acts and words of kindness have a profound impact on people’s lives. Love and understanding radiates from us and envelops those around us. The smallest kindnesses can begin journeys of healing, and once touched by it, the cycle continues. They now reach out to their neighbors in compassion. Love ripples outward and it never ends. Together we rise stronger and thriving. This is how we change the world. The wellbeing of our great forest depends on us. Let us never stop rising!
