Impact on Others
People will forget all of what you say, and most of what you do, but they will never forget how you make them feel – Maya Angelou
I love this quote from Maya Angelou. If I think about the people who have had the greatest impact on my life, I find that it is certainly true for me. My grandmother, for example, was a significant person in my life. She died 32 years ago. At this point, I remember fewer of her specific words and actions than I did 15 years ago, but I’ve never forgotten how I felt when I was with her. I felt loved. I felt valued. I was always glad to be with her. For that reason, she continues to influence my life even today.
I believe you have the power to impact someone as deeply as my grandmother affected me. Do you have someone who looks up to you now? Do you have someone who believes in you? Do you know someone who could use your love and assurance? Is there someone who is important to you who might not know that? Consider extending your love and gratitude for their presence. You never know what impact you may have.

About
I decided to put this page together at the urging of friends. Several of them were encouraging me to do this, as they were sure that my words were needed to help counteract all of the negativity out there. I’m not a pollyanna. I understand the problems of the world. I also understand that most of our problems are of our own making, and that the only way for any of us to solve our problems is to start exactly where we are, and solve what we can. We made the problems. We can solve them.
I know we cannot improve our lives by being negative. I know we cannot create what we want by fighting what we don’t want. It just doesn’t work that way, though the nightly news is full of people who are determined to do so using just that method. The only way out is to find a path of cooperation, Love, and compassion. This Blog is written so we can find a way to do just that. I hope you join me.
