Around Christmas time last year, I first heard about an amazing young lady. She was making a difference. And doing it in style.
I was blown away by her ‘25 Days to Make a Difference‘ experiment. Blogged about it. Emailed friends. Told others on forums.
Many other people must have noticed too, because within 24 hours, her blog had received over TEN THOUSAND visitors!
The name of this little rockstar is
Laura Stockman
Little Laura has since become my friend - and my inspiration.
If you know many school-girls, you’ll also know how fickle and short their attention spans are. My daughter is nine. It’s hard to get her to concentrate on anything for longer than a few hours, or at most, a few days.
Laura hasn’t let the spark set off in December fade away. She has sustained it to become a steady flame that has warmed thousands of hearts - and built a following of equally dedicated youngsters to participate in their own ventures to make a difference, to make the world a nicer place.
On the long walk I took yesterday when I came up with the idea of “My IMPACT Factor” challenge, Laura’s project was what I was thinking about.
As children, we all have dreams. Unreal, perhaps, but certainly ambitious. In the innocence of youth, we are fired by the highest ideals, the worthiest ambitions, the noblest motives.
Sadly, however, we grow up. And somewhere along that path to adulthood, we either lose them or make them secondary to other ‘practical realities’.
“My IMPACT Factor” challenge is your chance to revert to childhood for a little while - in a nice way. To go back to the days when we really believed with all our hearts that we can make a difference.
Join the challenge. Make a difference. Change the world.

Hi Dr.Mani,
Laura is my hero as well. I have followed her 25-Day challenge and her actions have inspired me (and many others).
