This blog was created several years ago, and I thought I would never find it again. I wrote many pieces focusing on women-centered issues. But, I am finding that many issues also affect everyone. The important thing is being able to bring awareness. Awareness on a social justice level. Awareness on a very caring level. Awareness on the world stage level. Because every issue, little or great, public or private, affects all of us in some ripple effect. World government revolutions start with one person convincing another person, and so on, and so on.
Our world needs change. Lots of it. Too many are unemployed and poor. Too many are lonely and without love. Too many are crying out for justice and only receiving a deaf ear. Too many still live under political repression and denial of basic human rights. Too much focus on wealthy sports athletes who earn more money obscenely per year than all of the U.S. governors and the U.S. president combined (this is an unscientific answer). Too much focus on worshipping certain leaders in the U.S. Congress, too them too much power and credence and way too much giving any political party at the expense of the people who voted them into office. Too many senators and congresspeople receiving money for useless projects, while that money needs to drive change for America into a better position. One that provides good, suitably-paying, steady jobs that will NOT be outsourced to every other country. One that will make sure that children never suffer because money was not adequately placed in educational programs that prepare them for a globalized world.
I will write more pieces as time goes forward. Please feel free to read my previous posts from several years ago--I stopped writing in 2007, but those pieces are still here. Whatever we do, let's make 2011 a year of significant change. We will all be better for it.
