My fingers are going to catch on fire I’m typing this so fast, and in between the chillbumps and the teary eyes I must broadcast to all of you that KIDS can change the world. WE can change the world. And we did, today.

This is Charlie holding just a portion of the cash these kids raked in by selling homemade muffins and hot coffee as a breakfast drive-thru this morning. $424. Four HUNDRED and TWENTY FOUR dollars. For a couple of hours of work and something to do on a summer day, just a few elementary school kids in the neighborhood are changing the world for girls across the world. When we got to $422.75, my son ran up to his piggy bank to add money. Priceless. Priceless. Maybe with a little more time I’ll have better words to describe how this makes me feel, how it gives me hope about the world, how this is a slice of peace about living in suburbia and doing the mom thing. But for now, the pictures will have to do.

Cameron, Charlie and neighbor Sarah displaying the “take”!

No one’s too young to get in on the action.

This is why people dropped in twenties and didn’t take out any change. The muffins were good, but not $20 good. But passing on hope and inspiration? Priceless.

See for yourself. Thanks to all of you for today.
