Yeah, it’s sad. Everything’s digitized…. disconnected. But people are trying to connect. Look at Gratefulness.Org. No one person is going to save the world; not you, not me. BUT that doesn’t mean that I don’t have to do something, anything, even if it seems insignificant. We all depend on one another. Realize the person that you cut off in traffic could be the doctor that saves your life. Know that it might be easier to leave the water running while you brush your teeth, but understand that someone 10 years down the line could very likely be thirsty because of that. We affect each other every day, whether we want to or not. Why not put some energy into making that interaction worthwhile? Light a candle, add it to group A1F. Do something small, but do something. You will feel better about it.
Blessed be,

Talk about it…..
South-Side Chicago and the Olympics:
Let’s talk about it…
Elle’s view on Chicago’s Olympics is eerily accurate. Why is it that, and I do not say this lightly, Chicago’s interest in the South-Side, as a city, did not gain momentum until the Olypics were on the horizon? I understand capitalizing on lucrative ideas, but a lucrative idea shouldn’t have a byproduct of making ‘things better.’ (The sad part is that I only searched Dogpile.com for: ‘things better’ chicago Olympics and this is what I got!) The ‘goal’ should be to make things better and the lucrative opportunity should come from that!
The transparency of the obvious should not be obscured by DOLLARS!
Educate yourself, allow room for argument, then buckle down!
I can only be inspired
One of the most beautiful people I’ve met since I’ve moved to Chicago, Don, has a beauty in his voice that is best seen in his blog entry recounting a moment when living in L.A. is lonely. He and his partner are wonderful people that I’m glad to have met since I left home. I’m just lucky enough to know them and wanted the world to know that.

It does seem like a hard decision, but it’s not.
Kevin and Don know that.
