The Gift Revolution









The secret movement I blogged about this past week was revealed internationally this weekend.

The Gift Revolution is a movement started by a group of businesses, churches and individuals that want to make a difference this holiday season by inspiring the world and making a difference through acts of giving. It is going on in 21 countries and 6 continents (so far).

On The Gift Revolution website, people can share their stories and upload videos of how they are making a difference, or how others have made a difference in their lives through The Gift Revolution. For more information, click HERE.

Doing something for others takes the focus from us and our pain. Make a difference in someone's life this holiday season, step outside of your world and into someone else's, step outside your story and into someone else's story.

Change the conversation in your head to one of giving, openness, peace, hope, courage, strength and possibility and watch your life start to change one step at a time.

May this holiday season be a reminder for you to step outside of yourself, your life story and your pain and give yourself and others the gift of saying, though an act of kindness: I matter, YOU matter, We are worth it.

Here is a sample of what The Gift Revolution is all about. Click to watch the video.

Hi Marc,
Thanks so much for stopping by :-)

The Gift Revolution rocks!!!

What a great way to make a difference in the lives of others during these difficult times for our country.

I love what I learned several weeks back on the kick off day of The Gift Revo:"A gift reminds people of their worth." It says YOU matter :-)

peace, hope and love,

Lily
