One

Back in the 70s, Three Dog Night sang that "one is the loneliest number."  It doesn't have to be though.  One can multiply very quickly.  One can make a huge difference.

Yesterday I wrote here about David Hogg and how he had an idea and in just a matter of hours made it happen.  (David does have a partner in this endeavor, but he was the primary face of it).  He reached out via social media and got thousands of responses.  It was him reaching out though.  One person got something done - something big.

On Friday there was a tie vote in the US Senate.  This is something likely to happen a lot.  The Vice President broke the tie.  She made a difference.  Her one vote was all it took.

I have heard people say "what can I do"?  Plenty.  If you think that your single vote doesn't matter, you are mistaken.  If you think that your volunteer shift at the library isn't that important think about what doesn't get done when you aren't there.  We all have special skills and we all can make a difference.  That's what this blog is all about.  

One person is seldom really alone. It might begin that way, but quickly you might be joined by others who also want to make a difference. Changing the world for the better is the daily regular occupation for people who dare to get involved. You can be that person.
