Our Inspiration

"A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of sea stars had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each sea star, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. The little girl knew that the sea star would die if they stayed out of the water too long. The tide was going out and the midday sun was warm so the little girl worked quickly moving from one sea star to another. 

She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these sea stars. You can’t begin to make a difference!” The girl was saddened by his words and stopped. She looked up and down the beach with all the sea stars on it. After a few moments, she bent down, picked up another sea star, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing sea stars back into the sea. Soon others joined, and countless sea stars were saved."

It can be overwhelming to think of all the changes that need to be made in this world, but if we can help one sea star, one animal, one neighborhood, one child at a time we can make a difference and it will inspire more people to join in.
