Expanding Ripples – Call for Submissions

October 25, 2013
The social and environmental issues we are facing these days can feel incredibly overwhelming, big and unchangeable, despite our continued work to affect positive change in our own lives.

This feature highlights individuals and organizations who are working for positive change…taking small (and large) steps to create positive change for our environment and in our communities. I firmly believe that passion and action are priceless and that one person can inspire countless others…just like the expanding ripples in a pond are caused by a single disturbance.

Do you know of an individual, small business or small organization that has inspired you and you think deserves to be featured for the change they are affecting on the world around them?  Have you worked hard in your professional or personal life to affect positive change and would like to be featured?  If so, please email me at trinityvision3(at)gmail(dot)com with the answers to the below questions or comment below with any ideas or suggestions!

Examples of past features:
Fed By Threads
The Itty Bitty Book Company
Eco Footprint
Balloons Blow

Questions to answer :
(each of which can be tweaked a bit to fit your specific experience)

  1. Tell us a little about yourself or your business/organization…
  2. What inspired you to begin the work you do?
  3. What do you love about what you do?
  4. Is there anything you would change about what you do?
  5. What new skills have you learned through your experiences and how have you applied them to other aspects of your life?
  6. What have been your greatest challenges in ___ (fill in the blank depending on your specific content and focus)?
  7. What can people do on a daily basis to affect change in the world around them? (this can be generic or specific to your area of focus)
  8. Is there anything else you’d like people to know?
Please also include in your email to me:

Even if you were to study your own life in detail and relive each moment that you suffered, sweated and smiled beneath the sun, you would still never know exactly when you had been useful to someone else.
A life is never useless. Each soul that came down to Earth is here for a reason.
The people who really help others are not trying to be useful, but are simply leading a useful life.
They rarely give advice, but serve as an example.
Do one thing: live the life you always wanted to live.
Please feel free to email me at the above address with any questions you might have!
