Am I making a difference? Does my life matter? "How can I make a difference when some days I can't even find my keys?" asks award-winning author Leslie Parrott. "I've never been accused of being methodical, orderly, or linear. So when it came to considering my years on this planet, I did so without a sharpened pencil and a pad of paper. Instead, I walked along Discovery Beach, just a few minutes from our home in Seattle. "Strange, though. All I seemed to ever bring home from my walks on the beach were little pieces of sea glass. Finding these random pieces eventually became a fixation. And, strangely, with each piece I collected, I felt a sense of calm. What could this mean? What was I to discover from this unintentional collection?" In this poignant and vulnerable book, Leslie shows you how each hodgepodge piece of your life, no matter how haphazard, represents a part of what you do and who you are. While on the surface, none of these pieces may seem to make a terribly dramatic impact, Leslie will show you how they are your life and how when they are collected into a jar-a loving human heart-they become a treasure.

You Matter More Than You Think: What a Woman Needs to Know about the Difference She Makes
Chapter One
a narrow path
I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. Robert Frost
Let's clear this up right at the beginning. I'm no Mother Teresa, and chances are, neither are you. I used to think joining the Sisters of Charity or some other compassionate group and devoting my life to the poor and suffering was the only real way to make a difference. For a time, I bought nearly all my clothes at secondhand thrift shops and volunteered at a nursing home and a downtown soup kitchen.
With the little money I had, I gave all I could to worthy causes. I even spent a night on the streets of the inner city, all by myself, in an "urban plunge" to get a glimpse of what it was like to be homeless.
I was dead set on finding my way on the road less traveled - and on making a difference.
"The road less traveled."
It's a simple phrase of poetry penned by Robert Frost, one of the most quoted poets of our time. This line of poetry is quoted often for good reason, and I could not resist its pull. Something deep inside me still resonates with these words, even after hearing them time and again. For who, when faced with options, doesn't want to take the road that makes a difference?
All the difference!
Being a poet myself, it's a phrase I've identified with since I was a girl - about the time I began looking up to significant women.
