Quote of the Week on Making a Difference

I am breaking my no-re-run-within-a-year rule because of Hurricane Sandy.

If you were in her path,  my heart goes out to you for your loss and for the physical, mental and emotional toll of the tedious clean up, recovery and re-building process ahead.  Hoping that it will provide at least a bit of  support, reassurance, direction and strength to you and those in your lead,  we pulled together a collection of quotes and share it along with thoughts and prayers.  Here is a link to:  Quotes for Tough Times.

For those not directly affected by Sandy…and for anyone in the United States who is registered but has not yet voted…now is a good time to re-visit this quote.

While we sometimes feel too small to make a difference,  each of us makes a difference every single day. One that, instead of blood, may very well suck the morale and productivity out of those around us.  Or one that can make a positive difference.

Right now, with so much destruction and so much to clean up and repair, it’s hard to know where to start or how to  help.  And easy to wonder if  $10, a pint of blood,  an hour of volunteer time or note of encouragement  would make a difference.

But it will.  As well as each and every vote.

Download and post (instructions below) this week’s quote and/or share it at a staff meeting to remind people of the power they have to make a difference at the polls and in the clean up from Sandy.

If you or they aren’t sure how to help with the latter,  join in today with ABC’s Day of Giving (money for American Red Cross).  Or consult the list below for other ways you and your colleagues can help (as individuals or as a team).
