A crash course in changing the world.
IMAGINE1 : Time flows like water
In my world, in ten years I will be in the 'warmer' city of Chicago, taking trains, living as green as I can- going around the 'L' to my office. The building blends in with the others, lists of office names, people, agencys are at the information desk detailing the floor, and any credentials.
I want to have my Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology, or Social Work by then, and be working with adults, mostly woman in finding and procuring housing. I want to have built a charity, focusing on buying properties- not for men and woman to rent- but for men and woman to own. I want to be able to sponsor, most likely, domestic violence cases, and be able to bring about a sustainable stable future by giving families their most basic need: shelter. Precariously housed and homeless individuals need freedom, they need help to establish a permanent home- they need someone to help create ways to remove economic risk and bring about something that very low income families fear.
Everyone deserves a home to call their own.
In addition, I wish to be active on working and advcating for those with Mental Health issues, and taking time to work with individuals, to listen, to learn and coordinate efforts to end homelessness.
Community building is also very important. Through my agency, I want to coordinate efforts to help improve communities through volunteer work. There are so many resources right around here if people are willing to share, and give their time to the communities around them. Only together can something like this work.
If this were wildly successful- I would push to have it used as a model in other cities to coordinate wider change.
Each moment is a waterdroplet flowing downstream...moments collide to make rivers, to accellerate the affects of each action.

I love your ideas Crystal and I really hope they do come to fruition someday. Society needs more people like you with compassion and perseverance to make the changes they want to see happen. Hopefully you can also ignite a spark in someone else's mind to do the same in their community.

Thank you :) I hope so too.
Maybe this place will help in ways I can't even imagine :D

Definitely! Even if it only helps one person...its a victory for you because that's one person you weren't able to touch before. Good luck :).

+1 Vision! Bravo "Each moment is a waterdroplet flowing downstream...moments collide to make rivers, to accellerate the affects of each action."
Each journey starts with a single step
Each change begins with one person who sees it :)

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
