Let's Change the World, Shall We?

Or, if not change the world, perhaps start the week with little old fashioned rock and roll? This is one of my craptastic running songs.



So, I've been thinking about changing the world.

Not like the, "Maybe I should get around to that someday." More like the, "Maybe I AM changing the world every day and I better start paying attention to how I'm doing it."

How I raise these little people will matter to them forever. How I raise them will matter to whoever loves them in the future. It's this ripple effect... and it never stops. Our words, our actions... there are no small consequences.

"There are no small feelings."

I keep coming back to that. There are no small feelings here. There is nothing small about how we spend our time, who we reach. Tiny acts of compassion are not always tiny to the receiver.

I have to stop acting like there is nothing I can do about our world.


And if I believe it, I have to BELIEVE IT. It matters. "How much do you have to hate somebody... and not tell them?"


I want to go somewhere. Do something.

Maybe combine travel and changing the world? It's not much, but I'm dying to travel. I am changing the world, whether I want to or not, right? It's a start. I can start from today.

I am so doing this.
