Question of the Week:

As a society, do we really care about a celebrity's death more than the hundreds dying in Iran just the day before? Do we care more about a million $$ talent than a million children starving to death- right now?? 

Can you make a comment that will restore my faith in humanity?

- The madly confused blogger...who may have been stopped in her tracks.

 PS. here is an MSNBC article about what happened on the internet yesterday w/ MJ and Iran etc... They say that just because everyone was tweeting & posting things on facebook about Jackson doesn't mean they 'forgot' about Iran...I have to beg to differ there. I mentioned this to some friends also and many didn't even hear about the massacre that had just occurred! What are we all paying attention to?? Sure, even in Iran they are mourning for him... I just think we need to keep a little perspective that's all. We don't pay enough attention as it is to what happens in the world, let alone when we are allowed to be distracted by something like the death of a pop legend...Voices of dissent are there for a reason NBC, thank you very much.

hmm...maybe this is why I think so much on the future, why I struggle to stay in the present:

"A change agent lives in the future, not the present. Regardless of what is going on today, a change agent has a vision of what could or should be and uses that as the governing sense of action. To a certain extent, a change agent is dissatisfied with what they see around them, in favor of a much better vision of the future." -Dennis Stevenson

To Blogger Sally McGraw at alreadypretty.com being an agent of change means not identifying as  a  activist, but enacting small changes in her circle of friends:

"I don't campaign for body image issues by lobbying Congress or volunteering at clinics that treat eating disorders - I'd rather work within the circle of people whose lives I can touch. Directly.
Affecting the people you can touch directly is simple, rewarding, and lasting. As we've been saying a lot recently, just one well-timed compliment can cause someone to open like a flower. Reaching out to someone who already trusts you reinforces that trust and creates safety. The simple act of listening reminds people that they are valued and cared for and supported and loved."

 Really deep Question of the Week that might just force you to look inside of yourself (no, not literally...)

What does "being a change agent" mean to you?

Question of the Week #2:

"Scientists say the higher your I.Q. The more you dream" ...If this is true does it then follow that dream analysis or dream work (etc.) is inherently an elitist activity??

Aaaand Go-
