In 4 Years...

Just imagine the future and how you can change it. That's what this blog is all about. WE can change the world.....

Connect to the Small World

The other day, several friends had their Facebook statuses as "It's a small world."  I thought... how appropriate.  I had been thinking the same thing for days... for months... for years.  I often think about how many people that we are connected to... not personally... but through knowing another... if we've had an impact on someone we know... then eventually we will have an impact on someone we don't know without even realizing we did it.  I also think about this whole "small world" theme with nature... things that seem worlds apart... really aren't as far apart as they seem...things that seem insignificant... ARE significant.


Today-- on Earth Day-- and everyday.... Here's how you change the world:  

Realize the power of YOU.

You are important... no matter who you are, where you're from, who you know or who you don't know... you have an impact (Yes, "No Impact Man" even you ;))... and YOU can make a difference... wait... you ARE the difference...

We are ALL connected.  From the smallest microorganism to the blue whale... and we all have one thing in common... the Earth.  


 "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." ~ John Muir 

Be Different! Be Friends!

Back in January, for MLK Day, my daughter brought this home from school... and I've held onto it because I think... that it's one of the most simple ways to make this world a better place :)

"We have different hair. We have different skin. We wear different clothes. We eat different foods. We like different games. We like different animals. We all are different. We all are friends!"

Stop passing judgment.... Make the world a better place by accepting and embracing our differences.... :)
