Let's be the diffference...

It’s the end of another year and the older I have become, the quicker time seems to be flying! I don’t always like the feeling there’s less minutes in every day as I have goals that I would like to achieve, which include places I want to travel to and since they parked the Concorde, it means it takes longer!! I do however feel blessed in that the only ‘distraction’ in my day is NOT a 9 -5 grind, excluding traveling time, and I’m very grateful for that.
Have you lately noticed how it’s like people are showing a lot more emotion in public? Whether it’s a speech or just chatting, in general. I just have the feeling that a lot of us are more prepared to and actually show more readily how we feel inside and discussing it with my Lyndi the other day, she’s my only distraction..:-) her comment was that people are hurting…. I’ll let you make your own judgement, but I kinda think she might be right. It’s also possible that some great people have in the recent past been very emotional and I’m not just thinking of John Boehner, but super star NFL sports star, Michael Alvin and a few others, who showed some really raw emotion in their Hall of Fame acceptance speeches.
Are we all feeling a need to show more emotion because there’s a lot of hurt out there….? We all give but we also receive and when you look at society, then the tragedies of the Newtown school shootings, the shopping mall and movie theatre basically fade against hundreds of people getting murdered in Chicago, apparently more than in the Afghan war…. and it’s not even in the news…! Have you noticed how many new members at WA are single mothers? Their profiles say “single mother of two gorgeous kids…” and that is so nice, but where are the dads? Aren’t there any more real men out there? What is happening??? Has love been evaporating? How could a single parent really be a mommy and daddy while holding down two jobs, have a social life and, and…?
My friends here at WA, we have a very special opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people! Kyle and Carson and everyone else who has contributed a video or description of how a plug-in works or whatever else, every blog and forum post and article that exist in the totality of WA, have in them the power to change lives in so many ways, it’s scary!
I wish for each one of you the best of everything during 2013… and let’s not just make a difference, lets be it!
