Channeling Grief

We heard a story recently about a mother's grief after her 19 year old son, Logan, lost his life in a drowning accident. His parents have started a foundation in his name to raise money for several youth organizations. They also created the "I'm Logan It" program to promote the art of being like Logan.

“I'm Logan it" was a saying his friends started long before his death. He had a very outgoing personality and his parents want people to follow some of his traits. They printed a card listing these traits to pass along to others.

Here are a few of that list we all could follow:

1. Smile and say hello to a stranger

2. Be funny and make someone laugh.

3. Give someone a hug who looks like they need one.

4. Strike up a conversation with a stranger.

5. Connect two of your friends who have never met.

6. Spend time with a friend who is feeling down.

7. Reach out and help a young kid or an elderly person.

8. Send a thank you note to someone who inspired you.
