Piece by Piece

​This morning I knocked over a jar of marbles resulting in broken glass and marbles everywhere. As I took my time,  carefully picking up marbles and shards of glass, I realized there was no way to clean this mess up quickly.

Like so many other things that happen in our lives,  this task takes time. ​I need to remind myself that...

... raising awareness takes time and getting people who “don’t get it” to “get it” takes time.

There is no easy way to clean up broken glass sprinkled among of hundreds of marbles. We have to pick the glass up piece by piece. There is no easy way to teach the world how dangerous allergens are to our kids, we have to educate one person at a time. 

We will never get an entire neighborhood, community, school or town to understand food allergies all at once. Like picking up broken glass piece by piece, we will teach person by person, until the world is safe.

Amazing where life's lessons come from. Your analogy is right on. One step, one person. One village. One at a time until the world understands.
