The Power of One

One person can make a difference in our world. Like Martin Luther King, Jr.'s nonviolent activism during the African-American civil rights movement in our country (and he was inspired by Gandhi...); or, on a smaller scale, celebrities like George Clooney organizing a fundraising event for the people of Haiti; or, Ellen Degeneres reaching out to her viewers that are struggling financially; or, on an even smaller scale, but no less important, people like teachers and parents that make a difference in kids' lives everyday; one person, even one single parent, can make a difference in our world by acknowledging our interconnections to others with the simple or not-so-simple acts they initiate and follow through with everyday.

We all have the power to make a difference in our world on any scale. Acting as a single-parent, we have the unique opportunity to know implicitly, that we can do our daily work, pay the bills, run the household, raise our kids, and in our spare time, maybe even save the world, one person, one connection at a time.
