Deb, I love the notion that "you matter"...simply because we all do.

Have you heard of the "Butterfly Effect?"  Andy Andrews recently wrote a book on the scientific phenomenon.  Basically, researchers found that even the simple flapping of a butterfly's wings sends a ripple out that ultimately affects other things.  The point is that everything we do matters, whether we can directly see the difference or not.

Now, if only we could all take responsibility for that effect we have on others.  Then, we'd see some radical change in our world, don't you think?!?!
