A long time ago I said that I wanted to change the world for the better. Some of my friends thought I was crazy. A few seemed supportive, but really questioned what one person could do. I did little things like volunteering or donating money or writing letters, but a little over ten years ago I decided I needed some help in the effort and I began writing this blog.
There is a counter on this that tells me how many people visit the page. There is no way of course to know how many actually read what is here once they arrive and no way either to know if these words ever motivate anyone to become more involved. I can always hope of course!
Now we are in the midst of many changes that bring joy to some but are upsetting many others. Our elected officials are doing things that are huge changes. Do we resist the change or do we adjust? I still want to make this a better world, but I don't have the answers and it's not a one-person job.
My ideas are not the only ones, and I am always happy to write about folks how are already stepping up and doing wonderful things for others. Please let me know about any hometown heroes that you know of, so that we can tell others. Give us your suggestions on how to change the world too. We're not looking for a list of things that are bad and why our community or our country or the whole world is falling apart. Tell us instead how you think things can be better. What do you think would make this a better world? Do feel free to write in the comments section below and together perhaps we really will change the world! Together we can do it!
