My name is Suz but many people know me as Fuzz Bomb. Everything I create , everything I touch and everyone I am blessed to meet ends up being far softer and more loving. I live through love. I speak love. I am love. And as my inner world becomes more loving, the outer world responds in kind.

My story is far longer than this space will allow. There have been so many circumstances that others have called negative, overwhelming, challenging and unfair. In the midst of dis-ease and pain, I have found a few simple truths that my heart prompts me to share. 

I do the best I can with what I have. And that is enough. Multiple Sclerosis has limited my energy. So I have learned to use the time I have to focus on love. I focus on what is in front of me and I choose to use my energy wisely. Love is never wasted. Even the most angry person is affected. It may not change their actions but my responses change my experience. Sometimes I am called to plant seeds that I am not to see grow. Planting loving thoughts is enough.

And one more thing for now... and this one I'm still working on accepting...

Something that changed my life forever was choosing to get involved. 

I found the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in May of 2012. I immediately contacted them asking how I could volunteer. They sent me a package of information explaining their mission and what they offer to others. 

I knew I wanted to help more. 

They often say you lose yourself when helping others. And I wanted to do that. 

In August of 2012, I participated in the Out of Darkness Walk in Salt Lake City, Utah. It helps raise money and awareness for suicide prevention. You are also able to walk in remember of the loved you have lost to suicide. 

I also have been able to participate in my local chapter  of AFSP; which taught me that when you are able to relate to someone who is struggling with the same thing you are - walls are broken down and barriers are removed. 

At the Out of Darkness walk, I was able to meet the members of Living Is So Big. They taught me just not about suicide prevention, but about life appreciation. What do you have to live for? What makes you happy? How do you appreciate life? It changed how I viewed things; it also inspired me to keep helping.... 

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle." -Philo of Alexandria

Try it sometime, try being kind once in a while.  It will make you feel pretty good about yourself.  Being kind does not mean you are weak.  It simply means that you are KIND!  

Doing something for someone else other than your self does take work.  However, it is well worth the reward.  Something simple as a smile, to holding a door, saying hello or even lending a hand with expecting nothing in return.  

Even though you expect nothing, sometimes the Universe will reward you greatly.  Like I said in the beginning of my statement... try it. :)

People like you are what make Living So Big for me.   Because I know that there are people out there in the world who are making a difference, and it feels good to know that I am not alone in wanting to help people out.

This is my first article I am submitting, so let me know what anyone thinks.  My name is Johnny and I currently reside in St. Augustine.  I have come to the conclusion that "Kindness" is a powerful thing.

It can lift spirits and make you feel better. 

The thing is...

Society today influences people in not so good ways.  It seems as if people today find it hard to be kind.  Like, it is second nature and if kindness is an act then it can't be done.  

That is what I think a lot of people today think about it.  If only people can truly see the power behind kindness and use it every day, would the world be a better place. 

I love to coach and help others that is why Living is SO BIG for me :)

Living is giving, Caring is sharing, LISB always =)

Living Is So Big when you actually step up and help the Human race and not just talk about it. Please walk the walk just like the folks are doing from Living is so big. Kudos to this family for trying to help the human race and make this world a better place. Peace, Love and Joy.

Living is so big because I get to help people every day. I get to see a smile on somebody's face everyday and it is beautiful.

"Living is so big" because I get to care for others everyday as a nurse and be loved and cared for by so many family and friends!

Living is so big because you can change someone else's life. 

The smallest thing's you do for someone, like just listening to them, or giving them advice, maybe even just being their friend, can make a world of difference to them. Not only this, it could change your life too.

To grow, love and see the peace, beauty and grace of others. This is why I believe living is so big!

Living is so Big when you realize that people all over the world suffer with all kinds of problems just like you do, but the beauty of it all is how we reach out to one another in love and continue to live day by day one step at a time.

Living is so Big... because I saw the nicest kids at Starbucks today. They loved the wristbands I handed out to them. This is what it's all about.

You may not think people love you or count on you, because they may not tell you as much as you would like or need. But you touch peoples lives everyday, maybe unnoticed by you, but that is what makes you and your life "So Big".

Living is so big when you smile at someone everyday. You could effect that persons day for the better.  :)

Living is SO BIG because even the smallest gesture can mean the world to someone.

Living is so Big because you do make a difference and without you it would make life harder for those who need and love you.
