In White Christmas, one of my favorite movies, there is a song that goes, “When you’re in bed and cannot sleep/count your blessings instead of sheep/ . . . Then you’ll fall asleep, counting your blessings . . .”

We’ve all heard about the woman who is so stuck on her past relationships that she can’t see the good man right in front of her. Or the man who LOVES his woman, but can’t seem to stay faithful to her. These stories are not new.

2) It’s the Little Things!
By Charlene M Brown
I live on the East Coast of the United States and as I write this, our third major snow storm (aka, the Blizzard of 2010!) is pouring down yet another two feet of snow.
The first storm, I was jovial and playing in the snow—even making snow angels!
The second storm a few days ago had me a little weary and ready for Spring.
So now, a few days later in the middle of the third storm, I have been griping and groaning about it for the past two days!
Until this afternoon. This afternoon, I got an email from one of the young ladies I used to work with. I want to share that note with you (as is):
Dear Charli,
Today i have realized you were a big part of my life you helped me
understand who I am today and I thank you. Thanks to you i have made
honor roll and i have all straight A’s. Everybody is proud of me
exspecially my dad. you have helped through the toughest part of my
life and i really appreciate that. i know i put you through hell and
i always gave you attitude and cursed you out a couple of time and im
really sorry for that. i just never realized i had a good person with
me by my side through whatever life may throw at me and then once you
left i realized you were there you had my hand my thoughts everything
about me you knew and i really apreciate it .
I love you so much
a
Wow!
I was so touched by this note, that suddenly all my complaints about the snow were so insignificant! Snow is just snow—it will melt. But the impact we make on one another—can be life changing!
This particular young lady I worked with at a local community center. She is spicy, to say the least. Part of my job was to periodically get cursed out by an irate teenager, and sometimes even an irate parent or two. I understood it wasn’t personal, but to receive a note like this makes it all worth it.
What she doesn’t know (or heck maybe she does) is that I am profoundly changed for having met her too! Every person, including the teenagers and kids I have worked with, they have all had an effect on me too!
We all need little reminders sometimes that what we do really does matter. I have a friend who tells me that, he says, “You Matter, Charli.”
So I am passing that message along to you too: You MATTER! And so do your actions, no matter how insignificant you think they are!
And also remember that the next generation is watching you closely, even when they seem like they aren’t paying attention (especially when it seems like they aren’t paying attention!).
So act like everything you do matters. (Stage whispering: because it does)!
I Always Have HUGS To Give!

2) The Ripple Effect!
By Charlene M Brown
“Oh, it’s okay, it’s not important!”
Have you ever said this! Were you putting yourself down at the time?
I have a news flash for you: EVERYTING YOU DO IS IMPORTANT!
Every action you take has an impact.
Every decision you make affects someone or something somewhere, although you may never realize it.
Have you ever heard of the theory of “6 Degrees of Separation” (also called the Human Web)? This is based on the theory that every person in the world is separated from any other person by only 6 degrees (people).
Think about that for a moment, every person is only separated by 6 acquaintances from any other person. That could happen in the same room at a party!
Imagine a hand squeeze that could be felt on the other side of the world.
With 6 people, you can still feel the life blood!
That is an incredible concept, but very relevant when we are talking about impact.
Although this theory is unproven, (http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci932596,00.html), several studies have shown that the average number of separation between any two randomly selected people is indeed 6.
Taking this into account, what kind of Ripple are you creating.
Everything you touch has the potential to affect the whole world! And only six people later.
You never know how your smallest action can touch someone deeply. And think about that reaching out to the rest of the world.
What if we all did that—took each action as if it were going to affect the well-being of the rest of the world? What would our world look like?
It always amazes me the effect that one person can have, especially when some otherwise irrelevant statistics are used. Like the amount of cardboard one person uses per year, and how that amount recycled saves however many trees over that one person’s lifetime.
But the real impact comes when more than one person decides to take on that one act. That’s when the numbers really add up.
So this ripple effect makes us feel great when the outcomes are something like saving trees or minimizing one’s effect on the Ozone Layer.
But less desirable things add up too.
Take for instance, the example I first used, of putting yourself down. The more you tell yourself that you don’t matter, the more you will start to believe it and the more you will project that image outwards to other people. Don’t be surprised when (not if) other people start to treat you as if you don’t matter.
The same way the more you encourage a person to step into their Greatness, the more they view themselves as Great! It works both ways!
So I am here to tell you that YOU DO MATTER, YOU ARE IMPORTANT and YOUR ACTIONS DO HAVE AN IMPACT!!!
Try it. Act as if your actions counted for the whole world! Make every action you take purposeful. Speak to people kindly, encourage success, do things for your highest good. When you are living your life for its highest good, the world is benefitted!
Oh the magnificent things we can do with purposeful action!
As Always, A BIG Hug!
