Hope

This is one of the most powerful speeches.  Today, we remember Harvey Milk and what he did for the LGBT community.  In fact, my lovely other and I are going to watch "Milk" right now as a tribute.

Thank you Harvey.  Thank you for giving all of us hope.

Giving Thanks

Every year, I celebrate my birthday during the entire month of November.  I am not sure why that is.  I often times share Thanksgiving weekend with my birthday.  It has just been tradition to celebrate it that weekend.

November has become such a big month in my life: my lovely other's birthday is 11 days before mine, her mom's birthday precedes hers on the 11th. And a slew of others who celebrate their birthdays.  November, is simply, an awesome month.

This year, my little family decided to volunteer at the community center providing meals for people in need.  It was truly an awesome experience.  In trying to impart a sense of giving to our two girls, we are exposing them to situations where they are forced to think outside of themselves. Well, at least that is what we hope.

 One person CAN make a difference.  If only more of us felt that way I think we would have a bigger sense of cooperation and collaboration.

I am thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in this world.

Thoughts of sorts

This is the first time I have written a blog.  Sometimes it is scary to put out your thoughts out for the world to see, but at the same time, I want to share my perspective with whomever wants to read it. In some ways, I think it will clarify some of my ramblings.  On the other hand, it may just be confusing.  Well, whatever the case may be, I hope it inspires people into a deeper thinking process about the things that happen around them.
