November 16, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world is, and remains, immortal. - Albert Pine - Best Foot Forward "At a young age, Nicholas Lowinger learned not to take things for granted. When he was 5 years old and visiting a homeless shelter with his mother, he was excited for the opportunity to show off his new light-up sneakers to the rest of the kids. But his mom cautioned him against doing so, explaining that these children might not have such luxuries. Sure enough, when Nicholas met kids at the shelter, he quickly realized that they were living in circumstances that were very different from his own." He was deeply affected by that visit, and stricken with the desire to do something to help those children, and others like them. That selflessness fueled Nicholas, and he eventually started the Gotta Have Sole Foundation, which so far, has donated new footwear to more than 10,000 homeless children in 21 states. { read more } Be The Change Share your love by seeking out ways to help others in need.

November 14, 2013 a project of ServiceSpace Perfect imperfection is a beautiful sight to behold. In fact, it can change the way you look at life... if you simply let it. - -Rachel Macy Stafford- - Today I Lived And You Did Too "I'm going Hands Free. I want to make memories, not to-do-lists. I want to feel the squeeze of my daughter's arms, not the pressure of over-commitment. I want to get lost in conversation with my spouse, not consumed by a sea of unimportant emails. I want to be overwhelmed by sunsets that give me hope, not by extracurricular commitments that steal my joy. I want the noise of my life to be a mixture of laughter and gratitude, not the intrusive buzz of cell phones and text messages. I am letting go of distraction, disconnection, and perfection to live a life that simply, so very simply, consists of what really matters. I'm going Hands Free. I hope you will join me!" In this poetic blog post, "Hands Free Mama", Rachel Macy Stafford, shares her heart, and expresses how she chooses to live today. { read more } Be The Change When you catch yourself tilting into an "off" moment, take a deep breath and pause...see if you can choose to envelop the moment with love.
