It IS amazing what incredible differences we can make in the world by just taking one small simple step, like calling someone by name, or offering a smile, or sharing kind thoughts on a blog post. : )

Thank you, Zannie, for reading and for posting! I’m looking forward to hearing more from you!

I used to work in a centre for homeless people.
One day a young man came in to see me for advice, I took his case, filled in a form to get the ball rolling for a new home. He was using crack too, and seemed v depressed. he came back to the centre a few days later and I happened to be at reception, I said ‘hello colin, how are you today’ I dont usually say people’s names ..but that day I did. He seemed amazed that I remembered him, and remembered his name. I can well see why the simple act of taking time to learn the childrens names would be the first seed of light. I am so glad to read this post. It touched my heart

Wow, Holly! Sounds like you’ve got an Oprah story of your own in the works! I suspect you don’t have to stretch your imagination too far to feel the gratification Tanya’s feeling.

Nice to be doing what you love in the world, huh? Good for you!

I admire those whose calling is with children.

Thanks for posting here, Holly! I’m glad to know someone else who Tanya made an impression on.

I saw this show! I’ve been thinking and talking about Tanya ever since. Talk about inspiring – and I had just started an after-school club at the school on my street a week before this show for the sole purpose of needing to feel more joyful through doing what I love – working with kids. I can only imagine how gratified Tanya feels by doing the work she started.

You know what I realized, Flavia? We already ARE taking those steps – in some way. I mean, when Tanya started hugging kids, she probably had no idea what that would grow into. And here we are hugging something in OUR lives, that I’m sure we have no idea what IT will lead do.

Or maybe we do!

Well said, Nicholas!! Yeah, it certainly wasn’t making the news when Tanya was just smiling at her kids and learning their names. One simple step! Amazing where it leads us when we continue to follow what feels good, huh?

Thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one who cries at stories like this, Nicholas. lol Your post is much appreciated!!

Stories like these always bring me nearly to tears. I know, I’m a big sap and all, but I dearly love to see people doing the little things that make such a difference! It’s absolutely inspiring.

As for me, thus inspired by stories like that popping up all over, I’m finding little things to do to improve my world, and learning to manifest good things as I go. What I’m finding to do so far has been nothing to write home (or you) about, but that’s probably an indication of a good place to begin.

Susie, I’m not surprised to hear that you and I were watching the same show and had the same response to it! Chalk it up to another one of many things we have in common!! lol

Thanks for posting, girlfriend. Looking forward to seeing photos of you in your new place!
