Giving

I started reading Bill Clinton's new book entitled Giving: How each of us can change the world. Although I am only 3 chapters in it really gets my mind wandering. I mean this in nothing but the best of ways. Every story, anecdote, and tid bit of information gets me thinking of the possibilities and ideas that I have for creating some good. I particularly liked the idea that Bill and his wife Hillary decided to do within their family. They gave a book about how to donate to younger members of their family along with a bit of money under the idea that at least 25% of it had to be donated and that at the end of each month they would check in and expect a report on how they had done. They did this to breed a culture of giving in their family in hopes that it would become a life-long commitment. I think this is a great gift for any family member not just those of a younger age. If you want to check out the book - which I highly recommend you do the link is

My First Blog

I wanted to start this blog because I know there are many people out there who, like me, want the world to change. I by no means am an expert on doing so, but hopefully with my ambition I can do just a little that others can either replicate or support in their neck of the woods. I want to talk about what I have done, what I am doing, and what I will do. I want to share people that I find inspiring, videos that spark the imagination, and quotes that will move you to action. I want to converse on global issues, current events, and the possibilities. Oh the possibilities. We are all in this together and this has never been more real than it is today. Lets start the ball rolling together. It will be a long and difficult journey filled with trials and tribulations but making a difference in this world is within all our grasps. For those of you who happen to stumble on this blog and want to discuss with me please feel free to check out my Facebook account or email me. I love to hear others exploits and adventures in making a difference.
