Love this post and the video! I had the opportunity to see Wangari Maathai (the lady in the video) live at the Shaklee International Conference several years ago. Her story is amazing.

As one woman in Kenya where deforestation was destroying the economy and she began planting trees. One woman making a difference and then other women began planting trees.

Amazing story…she basically saved the country by being the hummingbird. She won the Nobel Peace Prize! Read more about her story at http://www.shaklee.com/causes_wangari.shtml

This gives me an idea for a blog post too! Thank you for encouraging us to make a difference.

I think we all need to be reminded from time to time that change starts at home. That is one of the big responsibilities of a mother. To teach children the things they need to know to be responsible and productive adults. That is how we change the world.

Such a great concept. I am just reading this now so it’s no longer Do Something Day but I’m cleaning Shane’s clothes out this weekend & donating a ton of them… I’ve decided that counts. 🙂

Emily,

Thank you so much for joining the flock! This is so exciting. You have so many good ideas on what we can each do to make a difference. I love it, and #6 is so true and so wonderful – just smiling is a little thing we each can do which will help ourselves AND others!

I feel so happy already that the hummingbird story is getting spread!!

What a great post!

Your Fellow Hummingbird,
Nicole 🙂
