A crash course in changing the world.
"Spare Change" by Nedra Weinreich
While searching through the "Top 50 Social Entrepreneur Blogs" I came across Nedra Weinreich who describes herself as a consultant, an author and a speaker. What really caught my eyes was one phrase in her last post on her blog.
- Stories give us the opportunity to see the consequences of actions - both positive and negative...
Then I decided to read more and more of her posts, trying to figure out who is the person that is hiding behind those words. I forced my eyes to stay open and focused on everything she shared on her blog and decided that she certainly is my social innovation role model and I immediately bookmarked her blog so that whenever I open my Internet browser I can see if she posted something new.
Why I decided to take Nedra as my model? Because she shares all of her knowledge with those who want to read her, because she seems like the kind of person who believes in herself, because she is intelligent and most of all because she is like an open secret to me.

Wow, Cristina, I'm honored. I'm glad that what I've written resonated with you. And thank you for all those kind words about me. I'd be happy to be your mentor in the game, if you'd like. And I'm always happy to answer questions - no secrets. :-)
Best,
Nedra

Thank you, nedra!
I just joined the game so everything is still a blur for me right now, but I'll figure it out soon.
I would love to have you as my mentor though I have to admit I still don't know everything about that yet. I'll ask you lots of questions if you don't mind as soon I find some more time to play this game.
Thank you, once again!

No problem, Cristina. I haven't had a chance to dive too deeply into the game yet either.

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.

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
