The Ripple Effect
Whatever our religious or political beliefs may be, it is the actions we take each day in our lives that makes the biggest impact on this earth. So, while many of us may be thumping on our soap boxes and proselytizing in our cubicles; what have you done personally to help your fellow woman or man? What have you done without a thought of any payback, without a chance that they will be swayed to your way of thinking? What have you done to help your community without a thought for yourself or your cause? I am not asking this to point fingers or make anyone feel judged. It just seems that lately I find myself spending a great deal more time complaining about my situation and the plight of the world, than I do actually doing something about it. This is something I need to change and I am just wondering how many others feel the same way. So, with this in mind, I would like to know others stories of good 'samaritan-ism' or ideas of how they will integrate it into their lives.
Getting Started
As we enter the beginning of a new astrological year, I am starting something new. However, this is not a new process for me. I am an Aries and as such I am destined to begin many things and finish only a few. Actually, its more likely that this concept has just wafted it's way into my subconscious and now it is so ingrained in there that I am apt to believe it, but anyway... So, I'm starting this blog thingy along with knitting another new pair of socks (hopefully they will be a pair... eventually), plotting a new cardigan pattern, and contemplating the completion of a multitude of other projects (yes bro, your sweater is among them). Also, thoughts of new places and new careers (ok, jobs) are floating about in mind.
Okay, so... The purpose of this blog is pretty simple. I think I have some interesting thoughts sometimes. Maybe you won't agree, but then you don't have to read my blog, do you? In my searches through cyberspace, I sometimes find bits and pieces that I'd like to share with the world; some things are sweet and some are not sweet at all, and some will be purely informative or a bit strange. There may be posts about my forays in the kitchen, on my bike, at my job (I work in a yarn shop and teach people how to knit and crochet... I hear all kinds of things... ) or my critique of french fries at local burger joints. I am quite liberal, but it is not my intention to alienate conservatives. Hopefully, this can become a place where ideas that benefit everyone will be put into action (or at least make you feel warm and fuzzy for a few minutes, like beer, only without the undesireable inability to drive).
