The Desiderata

The Desiderata

While pondering the falling snow and the quietness that it promotes, I got to thinking about an old verse that I have come to love - like an old friend.

The words and thoughts behind The Desiderata are mind-boggling when you consider the frame of mind of the author when it was penned.

Watch the slide show, reflect on the words, and know that there is a wonderful world out there. A world that is ready for change and acceptance. Ready for peace and understanding. Ready for all of us to live together and understand that the things that make us different are also those things that make us the same.

Change and the Human Factor

Once upon a time a wise man said:
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993)
If we change how we think about ourselves and our environment we can change how the rest of the world thinks about us. We can make those changes with gusto and sincerity, with devotion and dedication, and with love and acceptance of those that may be different from us.

We are one. Plain and simple. We all feel, hurt, laugh, cry, breathe and bleed. Our wrappers do not define us as people, it merely makes us look different. Intent, intensity and purpose are all building blocks in the effort of Groundz 4 Change. :)

Warm fuzzies and wild things!

What happens when you conjure mental images of a warm fuzzy? What equates to a wild thing? What happens when you put the two together? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Whether you're good or bad, sad or mad, scared or fearless, rich or poor, smart or not, tall or short, round or square, exacerbated or exasperated, striving or thriving, living or gettin' by, fearful or fearless, radical or compliant, a dreamer or doer.......there's always somethin' that makes ya go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Be happy, be well, be aware, be patient, be kind, be willing, be flexible, be accepting. Most importantly..........JUST BE!!!

Hmmmmrrrr... king w on the proper use of the royal weeeee-sies

GEORGE's CAMPAIGN LITERATURE SD:
If we are going to save a generation of young people, our children must know they will face bad consequences for criminal behavior. Sadly, too many youths are not getting that message. Our juvenile justice system must say to our children: We love you, but we are going to hold you accountable for your actions.
the dates would imply that this was before we shipped a generation of young people to Iraq. When did we decide that the generation was expendable?
