I honestly believe that each and every day you should wake up and make a conscious choice to be in service to humanity in some way. It can be as simple as a gesture or as huge as a financial donation.

Every week I buy bread and other food items from the Dollar Store and drop off at a food bank. Every single week without fail and have for a long time. I struggle with the whole food safety issue lately and decided I need to grow more but some places wont take fresh produce. I need to rethink this program.

I have my own server and build searchable blogs for people who like to start or try their hand at business or offer free healing services.

I donate food often to SPCA and or Humane Society.

I pay a girl to work for me but make it a conscious effort to sit down, talk and help her with things she needs to stay in college and inspire her to stay strong on a tough world.

I cook for my granddaughters mother/family shopping to provide safe meals, save her time and money. Her happiness is important to me at any expense. I have very little time but I make the time.

I work with families through social networking and individuality to help them cook, grow, buy, preserve healthy organic food for their family on a budget. When I help one it has a domino effect. I saw one of the ladies I work with start posting about food safety on her wall and very passionate about it. It made the hard work worth it.

I foster, adopt, so whatever I can for animals. This never stops. I can'r afford to board dogs free for military but I do offer a discount and evaluate each situation to determine who needs the help the most. So if I have 4 full pay boarders I can afford to take a dog at a very low discount because a mother of 2 had to leave her husband and until she gets on her feet. If I could afford to do it for free I would but I just can't.

I believe that blessings come to you because of the service you give. When I hear people say they don't have time or money but then I see them spending countless hours on facebook (or here) and they have plenty of money to buy 5.00 Starbucks, etc. I am sadden. I operate two businesses, a farm, all my animals, my family and that includes some child care. You make the time for things that are important. Doing your part IS important and if you engaged in a process of doing "something" every day you'll see the positive effects it has on your life. It just feels good and try to avoid the self righteous trap. Do and practice humility.

I'd like to see some ideas on how YOU can do this no matter your challenges.

If your disable how about going to the shelter pages to see which dogs are available and go onto craigslist and see who is looking for dogs and start matching them up.

If you have a car offer someone who doesnt a ride. When you go tot he store or run an errand ask them if they'd like to go or offer to pick something up for them.

Organize your friends and neighbors to give you their old blankets and pillows then take them to the animal shelters. See if they will add 5 bucks and take some big bags for food.

Do you like kids? Can you offer child care to a single mother who needs mommy time? Or offer to help her one or two days a week with housework or laundry?

any other ideas?
