A crash course in changing the world.
Someone kick me in the pants.
I come to this site - usually in the wee small hours of the morning - and I read some great (and not-so-great) blog posts and emails about changing the world - about actually making a difference in the course of human events. I feel pumped, excited, eager even to stretch out my own hand and rock the boat a little. To "be the change" myself.
And then it's time for sleep, or time for work, or what-have-you. It's so very easy for me to get excited about the prospect of these projects - of who we can be and what we can become - but then life intrudes and I let it.
I'm so very tired of not doing everything I can.
I know I can do more. I want to do more. I'm thinking too small here. In my personal life, professionally, ecologically - everything. I ought to be doing more.
So, I guess I better just jolly-well do it, huh?

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
