"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do."

                                              ~ Edward Everett Hale   

Remember the starfish story?

A storm had washed up thousands of starfish. A little girl picks one up and tosses it into the ocean. Then another. And another. People watch, amused. A man says, "Little girl, what are you doing? You can't save them all. It's impossible to make a difference."

Returning another back to the water, she says, "It made a difference to that one."

With that story and today's quote in our minds, let's listen to our hearts, and do "something" with the talent we've been given. 

Toward healing and peace, with love,
Charlene
