Letter to the world

Dear World,

It’s been a tough year: in North America, oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico; in Asia some of the highest temperatures ever recorded; in the Arctic, the fastest melting of sea ice ever seen; in Latin America, record rainfalls washing away whole mountainsides.

So we’re having a party.

Circle 10/10/10 on your calendar. That’s the date. The place is wherever you live. And the point is to do something that will help deal with global warming in your city or community.

We’re calling it a Global Work Party, with emphasis on both 'work' and 'party'. In Auckland, New Zealand, they’re having a giant bike fix-up day, to get every bicycle in the city back on the road. In the Maldives, they’re putting up solar panels on the President’s office. In Kampala, Uganda, they're going to plant thousands of trees, and in Bolivia they’re installing solar stoves for a massive carbon neutral picnic.

Since we've already worked hard to call, email, petition, and protest to get politicians to move, and they haven't moved fast enough, now it's time to show that we really do have the tools we need to get REALLY serious about the climate crisis.

On 10/10/10 we'll show that we the people can do this--but we need bold energy policies from our political leaders to do it on a scale that truly matters. The goal of the day is not to solve the climate crisis one project at a time, but to send a pointed political message: if we can get to work, you can get to work too--on the legislation and the treaties that will make all our work easier in the long run.

You can sign up to host a local event at www.350.org/oct10

Or search for an event to join at www.350.org/map

And don’t worry about being alone at this party: there are already 1077 groups in 109 countries around the world scheduled to do something great that day. We'll knit all these groups together with a powerful mosaic of photos, videos, and stories from around the world. You wouldn’t want to miss it.

It’s been a tough year—but it can be a beautiful day on the 10th Of October if we work together, and party together. And if we do it right, then we’ll take a big step towards the kind of political solutions we desperately need.

Onwards!

“As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down,
probably will. You’ll have your heart broken & you’ll break others’ hearts.
You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them,
& you’ll cry because time is flying by.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, & love like you’ve never been hurt.
Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances.
You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you & tell someone off,
speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up,
stay up late, be a flirt, & smile until your face hurts.
Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love & most of all,
live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.”

Letting go

To let go isn't to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn't about winning or losing. It's not about pride and it's not about how you appear, and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and it doesn't leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It's not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat.

To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind and confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow.
It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up. It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and set yourself free.

Mistakes

Okay yes, it’s a mistake. I know it’s a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it’s a mistake but you don’t really know it’s a mistake because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say, “yep, that was a mistake.” So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake because then you’d go your whole life not really knowing if something is a a mistake or not.

Earth Hour



Earth Hour... a "visible" symbolic act. One that millions of people can easily join in with. This year's was great! Although at least in my country, more advertisements have to be done...

What you say and how you look does not define who you are, because some of the most beautiful people do the ugliest things.
You owe it to the people who hate you, who disrespect you and who put you down.
Because they are the ones who have made you who you are today; for keeping your head up and not breaking down when they want you to

Trauma messes everybody up. But maybe that’s the point. All the pain, and the fear, and the crap. Maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up before we can step up.

Talmud Extract:

Talmud Extract:

Be careful when you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. A woman was made from the rib of the man, not from the feet to be stepped over, nor from the head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, from under his arm to be protected and at the side of his heart to be loved.

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

I am suddenly comsumed by nostalgia for the little girl who was me, who loved the fields and believed in God, who spent winter days home sick from school reading Nancy Drew and sucking menthol cough drops, who could keep a secret.

Awesome anwer

Today I saw the cutest little baby. When I was holding him I said to the mom “Awe, Hes so cute.” she replied- “Thanks. Made it myself.” Best answer by far. MLIA
