The Ginger's Starfish

     If you've ever paid close attention to my outfits, you'll notice that everyday, no matter the occasion, I have a little gold starfish pinned to my clothes. Most often kept close to my collar-I always have it on. I don't care if it seems to match or not. At the start of every day, I pin it on and it stays on until I change at the end of the day.      Several people have noticed this pin and asked me about it.  If the situation deems appropriate I relay the following story- "As an old man walked the beach he saw a boy picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. He asked the boy why. The boy answered that the starfish would die if left on the beach. Confused, the old man said, "But the beach goes on for miles and there are thousands of starfish. You can't possibly make a difference." The boy looked at the starfish in his hand, tossed it into the water and said, "Made a difference for that one.""      So I wear the starfish
