“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” – Desmond Tutu
I recently came across this quote and it really resonated with me. I reflect on it daily and have shared it with several people. Our world is chaotic and our lives get complicated but through it all, we can always choose a little bit of good right where we are. It brings a peaceful feeling and spreads kindness and compassion throughout your days.

My heart is yearning for direction through so much information and so much stuff – overload in so many areas of my life. There is such an enormous amount of information to sort through each day whether you are navigating your job, finances, news, family, resolving technical issues with all of the items that are supposed to make our lives so much easier yet make them so much more stressful when something goes wrong. And then there is the stuff. How is it that we have accumulated so much stuff? My heart yearns to be surrounded by only what gives me joy and comfort. My heart yearns for the ability to be brutally honest about our stuff and have the resolve and strength, both mentally and physically to get rid of it and hopefully repurpose most of it so someone else may find it useful. My heart yearns for living lightly. My heart yearns for solutions to the enormous amount of trash we produce each day with our throw away culture and economic models of production – i.e. producing products, appliances, TVs, computers, phones, etc., intentionally to last a few years with no way to repair them or maintain them thereby having them end up in a landfill. Even given all my heart is yearning for, I am so grateful each day to be alive and recognize the blessings all around me and to continue to have hope and know my yearning heart and God will guide me along the way.
