Are You A Contributor?

Last week my article was about being an Ambassador and I receive many e-mails from those who really thought about being an Ambassador for Peace and Positivity.

I am glad that many of you seriously thought about how you could go about being such an Ambassador and what you would have to do to become one.

This week I would like to challenge each one of you to become a contributor.

I know, I know, many of you just thought or said out loud..."I am already a contributor. I contribute to this charity and that one" and "I'm writing checks to charities all the time."

Yes, that is one form of contributing. But that isn't the complete story of being a contributor.

You see, anyone can be a contributor. It doesn't take giving any money.

Anyone can contribute by giving a thought, a prayer, a kind word, a compliment, or by giving an extra hand in helping someone.

Anyone can contribute by cooking an extra meal and giving it away, or by donating time to serve meals at a soup kitchen.

Anyone can contribute by holding or rocking a crack baby in a hospital or shelter, or volunteering at a hospital or nursing home just wheeling patients around and giving out smiles as you pass others on your way.

Anyone can give good unused toys, clothing, and old cell phones, to a Domestic Violence Safe House ... just call and bring items to a Police Station.

So, this week I challenge each one of you not only to be an "Ambassador of Peace and Positivity" but to also be a "Contributor."

The job description to being a "Contributor" is: one who gives, provides, donates, bestows, furnishes, supplies, grants, dispenses, helps, gives handouts, chips in, and pitches in to society, giving time, talents and energy.  Extended hours sometimes necessary. Rewards Plentiful.

Are you making this world a better place by being a "Contributor"?

Imagine a business card stating:

_____Your Name_____                                                                                                                                                      

Ambassador of Peace and Positivity   
and
Life Long Contributor to Others


 .... Thanks Aunt Bette for the suggestion!
