As we approach a most significant mile-stone in our great nation’s history … as we witness the swearing in of our first African-American President<\/a> … let us reflect on one of the most famous phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence<\/a>.
\n“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”<\/strong> – three aspects that are listed among the “inalienable rights” of man.
\nHow can you live a life of happiness? <\/strong>
\nBe the GIVING; be the CHANGE<\/a> … put others before yourself – volunteer on Monday, January 19th – Martin Luther King, Jr. Day … and going forward. SIGN HERE, The Declaration of Service<\/a>.
\nMY PLEDGE<\/strong>
\nHappily, in exploring USA Service<\/a>, I found that I can visit a local school and do some hand’s on work with the students. I am going to put together ‘happiness art projects’ to hand out to the children who would like to bring home a “Pursuit of Happiness” project.
\nPLEDGE NOW! Sign the Declaration of Service<\/a>! Give and Give Some More.
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
