Heart

A couple of months ago, I was shown a TED talk given by an 18 year old girl named Natalie Warne, who spoke to teens that anyone of any age could be what she called an "anonymous extraordinary." She was working for an organization called Invisible Children, and she talked about the importance of action, using herself as an example of a regular teenager doing what she could and eventually got the attention of Oprah Winfrey, getting her on board with Invisible Children's goals

Her message was geared for teens but it hit home for me, and certainly moved my 70 year old boss.
And today, I was reminded that it's not over.

I'm putting my money where my mouth is. (kinda)

Obama used the slogan "YES WE CAN" in his first campaign. Any human being who does not lack empathy should want to do what they can to help what Invisible Children are hoping to do. On the real, I'm not in a position where I can help financially. As much as this makes me sound like an asshole, I have to do what is in my best interest before I can think about any body else. What good am I to anybody else if I am not able (in every sense of the word)?

Having said all of that, I am writing this post because... this is what I can.

I havent said anything about what this cause is, because the video here does a much better job of that than I can even pretend.

A close friend of mine called me a social media whore. If you're here watching this video, I am okay with that.
