Summary

Changing the world--or at least your corner of it--is easier than you think。

With so much suffering in our communities and in the world, it can feel impossible to make an impact。 "What good can I possibly do?" we ask。

Amy Wolff, a busy mom and small business owner, often felt this way--and didn't feel qualified to connect and uplift others。 But one day, after hearing about several suicides and suicide attempts in her community, she printed 20 yard signs with hopeful messages and anonymously placed them throughout her city。 This small action sparked a global movement of encouragement, hope, and love, which spread to 50 states and 27 countries in just 18 months。

Signs of Hope is an intimate collection of stories from Amy's personal life, as well as people impacted by the movement, about the power of hope and love in the midst of suffering。 This book discusses:


The drain of compassion fatigue
Why we should show up imperfectly to help others
How to claim hope for ourselves
Practical ideas of how to respond to suffering
Strategies of how to love people who are "different"
Resilience when love-spreading efforts backfire
How to raise a compassionate generation
The science of hope
Signs of Hope is your catalyst for doing something today 。 。 。 because there's no perfect time to help others。 The time is now。

What a simple, creative way to make a big impact on the community! Even though the author had a great idea, and includes info on how to be a part of her movement, I like that the book wasn't all about that。 It was about looking for the needs in your particular area, assessing your own talents and skills, and thinking about how you can make a difference。 Each us of have different strengths and different needs around us。 It isn't about copying her, but finding your place and way to impact those ar What a simple, creative way to make a big impact on the community!

I received a paperback copy of this book from the goodread's giveaway。 Amy Wolff starting leaving inspirational signs in her yard to help pick up people's spirits。 Signs like "You are Enough" "Don't Give Up" or "you are not alone" and many others that send encouragement。 Soon people around the states and other countries wanted to put signs in their yards。 A nice book that shows how you can change the world with acts of love and encouragement。 I received a paperback copy of this book from the goodread's giveaway。 Amy Wolff starting leaving inspirational signs in her yard to help pick up people's spirits。 Signs like "You are Enough" "Don't Give Up" or "you are not alone" and many others that send encouragement。 Soon people around the states and other countries wanted to put signs in their yards。 A nice book that shows how you can change the world with acts of love and encouragement。 。。。more
