On July 21, National Be Someone Day challenges each of us to take ten seconds to make a difference in a child’s life.
What can be done in ten seconds? We can shift gears or water a plant. We can hear or tell a bad joke. In ten seconds, we can change our minds and after doing so say a prayer of thanks. When we walk into a room, in that time, we can register the pain in someone’s eyes and begin to provide comfort. We can praise and honor someone who deserves it.
We can also commit to report child abuse. On July 21st, take the pledge to be the person to make a difference in a child’s life. Most importantly, be someone prepared to report when a child trusts you enough to tell you they’ve been abused.
This is such a HUGE problem across the planet - do what you can.
It's also National Junk Food Day and also National Ice Cream Day. What's your favorite "junk" food? Favorite ice cream flavor. Interesting history of ice cream - it's a much older treat than I thought .
