Jump In!

This is not a time in my life to feel discouraged or overwhelmed with all of the visions and challenges I see for the future. This is a time to practice embracing the art of ACTIVISM. This doesn't just mean protesting or rallying for causes I believe in; this means Participating in the Actions that make dreams into realities. And for me this espcially means:

-making conversation with strangers
-keeping an open mind
-asking questions about everything
-taking the time and effort to discover more about injustices in the world and what I can do on a small scale to contribute to the greater cause
-doing hands-on community service
-building a diverse, interactive community of freedom, expression and activity
-joining forces with others on similar voyages and making a change by making it an open trend to partake in meaningful and beneficial experiences
-encourage others to rise from apathy through INVITING their participation; through creating an environment that makes others feel welcome

All of these things and so many more are marks to follow and embrace with passion and FUN... and now is the time!

I'm ready, I've begun, I'm beginning, I'm going.. it's on! Jump In, lovers.
