When Proposition 8 passed in California and my right to get married was

taken away, I also became an activist... a true case of “You don’t know what

you’ve got ’til it’s gone.”

Five Things to Do to Make the World a Better Place

1. Adopt a pet from a rescue organization. It’s possible to get purebred
   animals without going to a breeder... I did!


2. Go outside your comfort zone and attend another religion’s services
   or volunteer for an organization that is in your community but serves
   people who are different from you.


3. Be nice! When you take out your temporary anger or frustration on some
   hapless bystander, you’ve ruined part of their day, too. Who exactly did
   that help?


4. Take a breath and ask yourself how your decisions will affect other
   people before you make the decision.


5. You know what you do well: cooking or talking or writing or shopping
   or gardening or whatever. Find someone who needs your skill set and
   volunteer to share it with an organization that could use the help. And
   spend some time looking for a small, local group that doesn’t have access
   to the resources of the huge aid organizations.
