Starting September 11th - RANDOM ACTS

Greetings in Cyber Space.

This new blog will capture simply ways we all can work to make this world a better place. How so, you might ask. We can do this by committing to at least one random act each day. One random act of kindness, one expression of compassion, a little empathy, some simple sign of brotherly love--imagine that! A little effort will go a very long way.

We tried to be a kinder and more gentle people in the days and weeks immediately following the terrible events of September 11th but our efforts did not last. We waved our flags and donned our red, white and blue --but that alone did not turn us into unwaivering citizens and patriots. Too soon nearly all of us reverted back to our old ways. We became self-centered, driven and unappreciative of the precious moments, the simple things, our many blessings and the great gifts God has given to each one of us.

Now is the time to reflect -- not on the horrible disaster -- but on ways we can embrace life and turn what was intended for bad back into something good. We can renew our minds on this matter. Instead of sadness, fear and helplessness -- we can emerge with fresh vision, creative energy and hope. Today is the day to count our blessings. Now is the time to say enough and to take on a sense of personal engagement and accountability regarding the future. We can use our talents and whatever resources we have available to make some small difference in our circle of influence no matter how large, or how small, that might be. This is the essence of POETIC JUSTICE.

Tune into this blog each day, starting on September 11th to read about my pay-it-forward style adventures and antics.

May my own commitment to the next 365 days of RANDOM ACTS inspire you to get busy doing something - anything at all --to make this world a slightly better place.

Love,
Cindi (aka POETIC JUSTICE)
