May 4, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. - Desmond Tutu - Caught on Russian Dashboard Cameras! In Russia, many motorists have dashboard cameras to record their driving and ensure justice in accident claims. Every so often though, they capture something unexpectedly beautiful -- like people helping others to cross the street, or get up from a fall or out of a jam -- despite rain, snow, and traffic. Some even put their own lives at risk. Check out this video of Russian drivers expressing their compassion through small acts of kindness! { read more } Submitted by: Jo Phoenix and Others Be The Change Go out and do something nice today!

May 3, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Most travel, and certainly the rewarding kind, involves depending on the kindness of strangers, putting yourself into the hands of people you don't know and trusting them with your life. - Paul Theroux - A Poem of Kindness That Traveled The World Some years ago Arab-American poet Naomi Shihab Nye wrapped a poem around an unexpected experience of both distress and kindness that she encountered at an airport in Albuquerque. She sent it off to exactly two friends, who passed it on to friends, who passed it on to friends. And in this way it circled the globe. Nye later remarked that this spontaneous series of people passing the poem on had resulted in far more people reading it than it would have, had it appeared in a magazine. Read her heart-warming poem here. { read more } Be The Change The next time you travel, tune into the kindness of strangers around you, and look for opportunities to be a kind stranger to someone else.

May 2, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Eating is an agricultural act. - Wendell Berry - The Gangster Gardener of LA South Central Los Angeles is a food desert - an area filled with liquor stores, fast food chains and vacant lots. Tired of driving 45 minutes to buy food that is not chemically treated, Ron Finley decided to turn some of those unused plots, starting with the patch in front of his house, into a food forest. With obesity rates 5X higher in South Central than in Beverly Hills, a neighborhood only 8 to 10 miles away, Finley realized that food is the problem, but is also the solution. "The drive-thrus are killing more people than drive-bys." Finley and a group of volunteer gardeners from all over Los Angeles are changing that, one lot at a time. "Growing your own food is like printing your own money," says this passionate gangster gardener. { read more } Be The Change Get gangsta' with your shovel -- plant something edible this Spring.

May 1, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Those who wish to sing, always find a song. - Swedish proverb - Stay A Lover of Little Things "No matter what big cities you go off to and big opportunities you are graced with, always take time to acknowledge the little things. Never give up on the things that make you smile, because smiling is one of the most important things we can do in this world. Find time to just wander. With No Direction. No Plan. No Time Restrictions. Look for beauty everywhere you go. The ladybugs on the windowsill. The sunflowers in the backyard. The skyscrapers in a new city. The faces of strangers and family alike." Hannah Brencher, a writer, speaker, and creator of a global love letter project, inspires us to "be a lover of little things" in this poignant, powerful piece. { read more } Be The Change Stay a lover of little things no matter how big your dreams may be.
