Make A Difference


"What do you do once you're 'there'?"

Once life is not about seeking and striving for something, what's it all about?

Have A GREAT Life.... And Make A Difference! 

Have you wished for ways to make a difference with ease, in just a few minutes a week, on a regular basis?
We asked that question, and birthed the idea for a Make A Difference Project. We'll collect your best ideas and share them right here on this page.
Steady, step by step efforts add up. And we want to put our efforts where they most count.

Send your ideas, and links to your favorite causes to MakeaDifference@LolaJones.com.
No partisan politics, please, for obvious reasons.

We’ll Publish Links To Select Causes That:

  1. Give a concrete, practical, and impactful action that can be taken quickly and easily. A great model for this is Amnesty International’s ‘click and send’ letters. They work. With causes like this, in 5 minutes a week you can make a huge difference.
  2. Are web-friendly, and can be done primarily on the web, in minutes. One small step at a time gets a lot done. When you find a place to begin, Life opens doors for you.
  3. Focus on the solution, not just the problem. One of my mottos has long been “No complaining without implementing a solution.” And we don't want to focus on horrors and low vibrations. Keep the nose tipped up, look only at the goal, and see their Large Selves prevailing, with a little help from you!

Making A Difference Is Easy As 1, 2, 3:

  1. Don't get caught up in the problem. See the solution, as your Large Self does, and smile.
  2. Do only as much as you can while still keeping your vibration high. Skip the unpleasant details if you need to.
  3. Budget 5 minutes a week to make a difference. Small consistent efforts add up tremendously.
  4. Again, keep it feeling good rather than letting it get burdensome or hard. You want to spread ease, not hardship.

 

We Are Delighted To Share Our First Links With You Here!

This microlending program provides loans that empower third world women to own their own businesses. A $100 loan can mean the difference between poverty and self-sufficiency. I totally believe in microlending, because it doesn't enable people to remain powerless, or dependent upon charity -- it gives them the means to make themselves successful. The success rate and payback rate is huge. http://www.discoverhopefund.org/

 

 

VOTE WITH YOUR MONEY - When you spend money, you "vote for" something. Many believe that NOT buying things made in China is a vote for human rights, fair trade, and economic balance. "Money talks" better than anything else to business. Here's a way to make a big statement to retailers that's fun and EASY and makes a powerful impact over time. It's called Conscience Bucks. Download the 3-up master and print them out. Carry them in your wallet and give them instead of money to retailers who carry too many Chinese made goods. Then email the Conscience Bucks pdf master to everyone you know who's open to it! Let's vote with our money!
