Good morning ,

Do you ever wonder if your creative work is making a difference to anyone at all? There is so much trouble in the world, so many problems to be solved, and only so much time and energy to go around. If we spend our time looking around at all the big problems, it can become overwhelming and discouraging. I've personally been in this mode too much lately. :P

Have you ever heard the starfish story? Here's a very short YouTube video of that.

Even if you have heard it before, go listen again. :)

You may be one little person in this big old world tossing one starfish at a time, but you do make a difference. Your work is important. Keep it up, and the next time you feel discouraged, remember these words from Betty Reese.

“If you think you're too small to be effective, you've never been in the dark with a mosquito”

The Wednesday Writers Whatchamacallit will meet today starting at 12 PM Eastern, 11 AM Central, 10 AM Mountain and 9 AM Pacific. Hope to see you there.
