his wife Tammy inspired the lives of many with their examples of courage, devotion, hope and LOVE. Thanks to the power of the internet, through their blog they were able to make a difference for so many as Tammy related their struggle to all who would read. We sat at the funeral yesterday and listened to those who spoke of Bryce's life, especially the last 100 days. The final mission of his life was so short, and so profound. 
The thought came, "Can I make a difference in the world?" We thought of how to further honor the life of Bryce D. Brown. The idea... extend the mission another 100 days. The hope is to fill each of these days with love for one another. We should not have to wait until death is staring us in the face to love and appreciate those around us. We were touched by the words of Tammy as she learned from the challenges she faced each day, "How many of us screw up because it’s fun and feels good, regardless of the consequences of our actions? How many of us treat others in a manner which we would be furious or hurt if we were treated the same way? Were any of you a jerk to a family member or friend today, hurt somebody, cheated on your mate, stolen from somebody—the list is endless. How about “little” things, like driving like an idiot, giving somebody the cold shoulder, planting lettuce seeds in somebody’s immaculate flower bed or forking somebody’s lawn? Would you have done that if you knew your life would end tonight? My guess would be NO. I challenge you—no, I DARE you—to act as if today could be your last day. Forgive a grudge. Help a stranded motorist. Make a new friend, and stay close to the friends you already have (guilty!). Forget about “status”. Love one another! Keep your family intact. Be NICE—it goes pretty far!! Remember that life is short, and not worth feeling angry or depressed. Live each day with dignity and hope. We are ALL blessed with opportunity—what will you make of it? My sister said something to me the other day that really made me think—'Helping others is great, but how many of us would truly inconvenience ourselves to assist somebody else?'"

We know we are limited in our capacity for love right now. There are many out there that are so good at it, and we are thankful for their examples. So the challenge is this: For 100 days strive to increase our love for all we come in contact with. For all who join us in this challenge, please post your comments on your thoughts, ideas, struggles, and successes. Strive to be more aware and grateful for how others have shown love to you. Post these as well and help inspire us all to have greater love.
We hope to make a difference, just as Bryce and Tammy have made a difference in our lives during the 100 days of their challenge. Please join with us.
