The SMILE (Sharing My Inner Light Everyday) Movement offers a variety of opportunities for people wanting to make a difference in our world. These include both individual and collective activities.
Individual Participation:
◊ Register to become a SMILE Ambassador. SMILE Ambassadors make a commitment to let their Light and Love shine as often and in as many situations as possible. Specific ways of being Light and Love are found on the SMILE Ideals Web page. You may become an Ambassador by going to our Contact Us Web page and sending us an e-mail requesting to be officially registered as a SMILE Ambassador. If you would like an initial supply of SMILE Award cards and a membership card, you will need to send SMILE a stamped, self- addressed envelope. There is no fee for registering to become a SMILEambassador and your information will be kept confidential and will not be shared or sold to third parties. Following are a few of the benefits of being a registered Ambassador:
♥ Receive periodic e-mail update newsletters and other materials. ♥ Have access to SMILE products, such as SMILE Award cards, buttons, etc. ♥ Enjoy the satisfaction that you have made a concrete commitment to make a difference.
◊ Recognize and acknowledge others who make a difference. Smile ambassadors also choose to look for and acknowledge others who are letting their light and love shine. Ambassadors commit to write letters, send cards, make phone calls, send e-mails and speak directly to people whom they have observed making a difference. The Movement offers specially designed SMILE Award Cards that ambassadors may obtain and use to recognize others. These Award Cards are available by going to the Contact Us Web page and are offered on a donation basis.
◊ Spread the SMILE message to others. Every day provides opportunities for SMILE Ambassadors to be a positive presence in the world. As this light and loving presence touches one person, he or she then touches another person who then touches another person and another until, like a pebble in a pond, the world is uplifted and healed.
◊ Share your SMILE experiences. Participants in the SMILE Movement are encouraged to share when, where and how they have shown up as Light and Love. People are also invited to share how they have recognized and acknowledged others who have made a difference. Simply e-mail us at contactus@smilemovement.com or sign the Guest Book on the Share your Experiences Web page with your stories. Selected comments and stories will be included on this Web site's SMILE In Action Web page. Please be sure to indicate if we may use your name.
Collective Participation:
◊ Join an existing SMILE Circle. Circle members gather at a time and location agreed upon by the group. The purpose of a Circle is to support and encourage one another, share and process experiences, create action strategies, and discuss various SMILE principles. Specific activities vary depending on the desires of the Circle. A list of current SMILE circles with contact information is available on the About Us Web page.
◊ Create a new SMILE Circle. If there isn't a SMILE Circle in your area, consider creating one. For information on organizational strategies and activities, go to the Contact Us Web page.
If you are ready to make a difference, please join the SMILE Movement.
