Ryan Seacrest (American Idol Host) and You ~ Making A Difference

LisaPetrarca by LisaPetrarca Talking Back(September 2008) (rank 106th)

I know many people feel as I do, "I want to make a difference in the world, but what can I do?" This can be a common dilemma...I would often just do nothing because I don't have money to visit countries that are in desperate need. Even locally, how

do I find the time ~ with work, kids, sports, grocery shopping, house cleaning...whew...I get tired just thinking about all that needs to be done!

I would like to help all of you...here's a quick, simple, fun and entertaining way to make a difference TODAY! It will cost you nothing....interested? WATCH A VIDEO HELP A CHILD!

I know ALL of you have heard of Ryan Seacrest (American Idol host) and his radio show KIIS FM...well they visited CHOC Hospital (Children's Hospital of Orange County)to try and cheer up the kids who are VERY sick. My son's team mate and friend is there and they paid him a visit (stop by his blog) http://LukeGane.Blogspot.com.

Luke has a video message he posted for all his friends and family...a MUST SEE, here is the direct link http://lukegane.blogspot.com/2008/09/video-message-from-luke.html.

KIIS FM shot a video on Saturday and it's on this link
http://www.kiisfm.com/pages/lollipoplive08/?_show It's the Viral Video
. Just click on the photo and you will catch a few quick shots of Luke getting down...it's a fun video.

Check out the entire site. Make sure to watch the video because if they get at least 100,000 hits, the Anaheim Ducks will donate $10k to CHOC.

TODAY IS YOUR DAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Just watch a video and send it to your friends and family. I told you it's EASY to reach out and help others!!!

Turn another ordinary day...into a LIFE CHANGING DAY! IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE...now that you've started, look for other small ways to be the change that you want to see in the world. Cook a meal for a sick friend or neighbor, buy a small bag of groceries for a homeless person, visit a widow, offer to babysit for an overwhelmed mother...IT ALL MAKES A DIFFERENCE! You've already helped someone today...KEEP GOING..........

Re: Ryan Seacrest (American Idol Host) and You ~ Making A Difference

Hi there,

Thanks for this article . .  Both my husband try and do at least one thing a day to make a difference ..  Sometimes even the simplest of things can do this . . Today we scored a double bed for a women who has nothing after leaving a domestic situation. We don't know this woman and heard of her plight through friends BUT this is the sort of stuff that MAKES A DIFFERENCE  . .

Yesterday we took our two youngest up to the nursing home to visit some ladies that have no family, we have been doing this since my eldest was 9 . . . The day before we helped a man who looked lost doing his groceries, turned out it was his first ever doing the groceries as she partner was in hospital . .

MAKING a difference is a GREAT thing to do and even something as simple as a smile can be make a difference . .  I strongly believe that we get back from life what we put into it . . . . . THANKS for a GREAT article and a GREAT reminder to all .. .

Cheers Kellz

Kellz,

That is AWESOME! I wish I had started doing that when my kids were younger. I think they need to learn to do for others too...helps them learn not to be so selfish.

Keep it up, you are an inspiration to others. Justshowing people how much the "little" things mean to someone.

THANKS!!

Thanks Janice, hope all is well with you! I haven't been by in a while, sorry. I've been swamped with sports right now, but I will definitely be by this week to see what exciting things you have going on!

Take care!
