Small Acts

A small, simple act can have a huge impact.  This picture represents an example of that.  This postage stamp (currently 55¢) has generated a whopping $75,000,000 in funds for breast cancer research to date. I was stunned by the effectiveness of such a small act.  In honor of my sister-in-law, who is bravely fighting her own battle, I did my little part to add to the arsenal of research in hopes of finding a cure.  It cost me an extra $2.00.  The dividend of knowing I'm helping is invaluable.

"I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay:  small acts of kindness and love."
