February 07 – Cleansing the Sanctuary: Go through all your clothes this morning, making a pile of the items that you rarely use &/or don’t truly “need” (& maybe calling a few neighbors to encourage them to do the same). Items that are “in season” and yet have not been worn in over three weeks […]
February 06 – Caring for the Ill: Go to a local hospital and head to the cancer ward (or other part of the facility where terminally ill patients are staying). Bring a flowering plant (avoid cut flowers that will soon wilt) … Visit with the patients there — Listen to their stories, bring them cartoons […]

Pay attention to the way they move and then subtly emulate their walk from afar … For the rest of the day, […]
February 02 – Caring for your Caregivers: Massage each of your own hands for 10 minutes each … This evening, do the same for your feet. All right, what in the world does this one have to do with selfless service? Indeed, a very good question. Essentially, in order to fully give to others selflessly, […]
February 01 – Welcoming Newborns: Greet every baby you see today and cordially welcome it to Life. Bonus Activity: Remind a friend that today is the first day of the rest of his/her Life — Welcome him/her to Life as well. Yes, I know, some parents might indeed be inspired to be a bit nervous […]
