There is a quote by Marian Wright Edelman stating: “Understand and be confident that each of us can make a difference by caring and acting in small as well as big ways.” Yesterday all across American and around the world women went to the streets to their nearest cities and to Washington D.C. They made their presence known and carried posters in conveyance of messages important to women’s health and well-being.

Their intent was to voice their concerns with some political issues and agendas. They were worried and frustrated, deciding to act in the highest manner and direct their energy in ways which would make an impact on Washington D.C. politics and policies being proposed.

No doubt, I wanted to be a part of the March on Washington. However, deciding the last minute to stay home and support whomever participated through prayer and via Facebook. I believe my interest and support of the March helped the participants.

Whatever we choose to put our energies in, believe it makes a difference. It is a good thing to be part of the political system. Our US Constitution encourages and stands by the individual American citizen.   

Yet, politics may not interest us. Whatever does, do it. And know you make a mark and are valuable in your actions and with your presence and power. Life needs each one of us. As it turned out it was the best divine order I stayed home this weekend for our son’s dog became quite ill. I was able to support both our son and the doggie while upholding our son through conversation and by messaging. 

Every day when we ask for Guidance and wisdom to do what is ours to do, our intent and sincerity make a difference. In asking for insight, we call on Divine light, the higher path to be known. It can be through a flow of spontaneous ideas and actions, flowing from the best within us, then guiding our steps and energies to right action.

It is surprising the difference we make when we know we move from a well-spring of spiritual values and motivations and are moved to support a stranger, perform a normally challenging task effortlessly, and do some things making way for grace upon grace to unfold in another’s life.

In joining with a strength within, based on pure giving without thought of reward or return, we are a free agent of good operating in the world “caring and acting in small as well as big ways.”

Likewise, we may never see the results of our actions and acted-on insights. Nevertheless, the confirmation is felt inside us, knowing we are one with the stream of altruistic love, giving and being harmonious with a divinity that heals, transforms and multiplies as it is given an avenue of expression — you and I. The difference is you and unity with the beauty within yourself.
