Step 2: Tweencraft Throwdown... Did you think I could resist? No way! This isn't crafting, cooking or journaling, but it's life. For 1 week, lets pay attention and try to make a difference at least once.

• hold the door for someone else
• invite someone sitting alone to sit with you at lunch
• find a family member and give them a kiss
• go out of your way to check in on a friend you've been out of touch with
• if a friend or family member has been blue, ask what's wrong and really listen
• smile at the grocery store clerk and ask how they are
  

You have an amazing power to do good. Acting with compassion may mean taking a deep breath and finding your courage - your friends may not think it's cool - and what if someone rejects you when you try? In either case try to remember the compassion that made you want to try, your heart is in the right place. A great take away from my favorite comic book heroes is "I use my powers for good" - Comment on how this goes, okay? The good, the bad and the ugly.
