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.
