10 Yippee Things! Day EIGHT

Day Eight: Three things you want to do for your community/ the world.
1. Inspire.  I find delight in the simplest funny experiences I have with my family.  I want to inspire others to dwell on theirs so the world can benefit from widespread happiness and the strength that it brings.

2. Perspire.  Run for a cause on a more consistent basis.  I've only done it once, forming team A Fortiori (Latin for "with greater reason/ more convincing force") for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure.  I'll revive this team again for my mom and everyone who wants in.

3. Wow.  Up against generations that are getting increasingly desensitized, I'm on a mission to find ways to bring heart and beauty back on everyone's priority list.
