I love Patti Digh http://www.37days.com/daily-rock and just finished a book about simplifying life but stopping and thinking of four word statements that make a difference.
Always give away change.....
Today, when I pay cash for anything, I plan on giving away the change. I'll add it to a tip jar, go and put it in the meter of cars sitting on the street, hand it to the newspaper man selling at the corner. Because the act of giving away is so much more satisfying that holding onto it and spending it on yourself. And change may not seem like much to me, but it could mean the difference of a $40 parking ticket to someone trying to make the meter, or it could be lunch for someone, or it could be the counting them satisfaction of a day working hard. It makes a difference.
Did you know that J.K. Rowling lost her BILLIONAIRE status and dropped to millionaire from her charitable giving?

What a difference she is making in people's lives not just by her actions but by the result of her actions? Do you have a giving plan for your family? Do you give your 10%? Do you realize what a difference this would make?
Always give away change.......
Here's a great charity that's making a difference in Uganda, they are selling Chicken Pies for $15 to help mission trips, helping children. This charity is currently completing a piggery in a small village that will make a difference in many lives. Small change big difference.
