"To This Day"

            I have not posted in a few weeks. But I have come back with this speechless Ted talk..yes a ted talk. I watched the first 3 minutes and I knew I had to post this video. It paints a reflection of what it is like to be bullied, what its like to be young, what its like to be different. I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did.

Blank Message

Sometimes I don't even know what to write anymore. I guess its like a form of writers block. Either I write about the world or I write about how I view the world. It's as if my mind has gone blank. But then I started to question myself....
What do you do when you have a blank canvas? What do you do when you have a blank piece of paper? Do you write or paint without any thought. Or do you express your feelings, desires, needs, goals, dreams, things that your not, things you want to be.

And what if there was a blank message, something that could inspire or change people. What would your message be? Where would you start it? Will it guide you anywhere or anyone somewhere?

You see a blank message...can mean alot..
            so what did this one mean to you...

Dumb of Silence

The dumb of silence

It's something that can be cured, but few have cured it. It's four simple words, but means so much. It describes our society, humanity, the people. Just four words, describe the cage we put ourselves in. Each and every day, we walk with the dumb of silence. But with this, many will ignore it or forget about it in a couple of days. So few will actually take action or understand the words. We enjoy comfort and sameness. But deep down we longer for change. Will you still walk..with the dumb of silence? 




 "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." - George Washington

Quotes..

I believe everyone has a quote that they either live by or inspire to imitate. To act on to what it says or means. Everyone has that favorite quote..something of the nature of love, happiness, or life. It can be so simple, but yet tell a life's worth of lessons and meaning. What is your favorite quote?

The Toxic Tangle of our Food

This is a shocking video from a Ted talk from 2011. It is Robyn O’Brien, who is known as the "Food 's Erin Brockovich." If you are concerned about what is on your plate, in your fridge, or on the shelves of the grocery stores, then you watch this.  This is one of the most important Tedx Talk that I have watched. This should be spread around to awaken people to the fact of this greed driven industry, the Food Industry.

 Below is the link to a article on Food Matters.com that is talking about Mrs. O'Brien.
Below that link, is her TEDx Talk

Break the Silence

In this great Ted Talk, Jackson Katz points out the main issues/roots of sexual abuse, rape, domestic abuse and the stigma of gender diversity. He shows us how these violent behaviors are tied into the definitions of manhood.

Make-A-Wish

Have you ever thought about changing someones life?

Maybe you can start today..there are different organizations/ non-profits that need donations or just volunteers.

Today, I will suggest the Make-A-Wish foundation. It's a foundation that grants wishes of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition. This spans from the U.S and other teritores within.


Maybe you can help make a wish come true...
