I rise, and so I stand

Today is Human Rights Day...
and being in The Dream Project Club at Franklin High School,
i just want to say we have a RIGHT to make a difference and so does everyone else.

Don't be afraid to nurture your vision
strive to be of good service locally and globally
Become a "Solutioner"
and take a risk in using your infinite creative consciousness
Focus on what you want,
and if you work hard enough you'll recieve exactly what you're asking for.

Value and money. Ain’t it all about perspective.

I’ll give two examples about understanding value and money:

1) My Vietnamese scarf and 2) A quote from Nicholas Kristof, “Humanitarians have tended to guilt-trip people and governments into generosity by peddling emaciated children with flies on their eyes.”
