Drops in a
Bucket Blog
http://www.harvestingrainwater.com/drop-in-a-bucket-blog/
This blog is a celebration
of wonderful little efforts that lead to great things. In the
beginning those small efforts often seem like little more than a drop
in a bucket. However, this is great if
they're drops in the bucket of abundance. With enough drops we'll
fill the bucket! A drop in a bucket is a problem only if it's a drop
in the wrong bucket - the bucket of scarcity.
My hope is that this blog will help plant many seeds to enhance good
efforts already in the works and to influence positive change on the
local level, simultaneously affecting the global.
