We Need To Serve More and Spread Kindness



Hey Sparklers!

Our country is going through a crazy time right now.  People yell at each other, they don’t trust each other, and more people are becoming bullies.  This means that more people need to lend a helping hand, show confidence in each other, and be kind and loving.  

Sparklers, we need to make our mark on the world!  One of the greatest ways we can do this, is being kind and setting an example to those around us.  One thing all sparklers learn throughout our program is “Make your Mark.”  At our workshops, we ask the girls to participate in a service project at one of our stations, and in this way girls become involved with their communities in a positive way.  We want girls and women to know that one of the most constructive ways to show who you are is helping those around you.  This is something that is being lost in our communities at the moment.  People like to hear and spread gossip, scandals, and find people and actions to criticize.  Ladies, let’s show everyone that this is not the right way to make their mark on the world.

 
I believe we need to serve more.  I believe we need to spread kindness more.  What people need in our schools, companies, and communities is tolerance and kindness.  If you see an elderly person putting groceries in their car, walk over and help them!  If you see another kid at school that has no one to play with at recess, go play with them!  We can be examples of spreading joy and love to those around us.  


Also, as we make our mark on others, they will want to make a positive difference in other people’s lives as well.  “Pass it on” is a real and living concept today.  If you help someone, they will pass on the kindness and help someone else.  Make your mark on the world today!  Go out and smile at someone, listen to them, or help them!  Do something that changes the attitude of one person.  If we can all do this at least once a day, we will see the people around us start to change, and the communities we live in will start to change.  Make a positive mark on those you care about. 
Girls, I know that you all have an individual sparkle in your heart, and you can light someone else’s sparkle today!  Let’s go out and make our mark on the world!

With love,
Alyssa Kruse
