Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. I did visit your site and it is very clear you are no stranger to taking a stand! I hope this is just the beginning of our dialogue.

Susan, thank you for sharing this inspiring message. “Even if we only impact the life of one child, it makes a difference.” That’s one of your many quotes I can relate to; we speak the same language. Life is precious and if we can make a difference in just one life, we know we’ve made a difference. Nothing is too little to do, compared to not doing anything at all. Let us all work to make a change in our world, and let’s keep raising more awareness about these issues that matter. Feel free to check my website http://www.ibdabo.com and blog http://www.ibdabo.com/blog for more information about me and people I have featured who are also making a difference.
Thank you.

Susan, your poetic tribute to the child was so very visual and touched my heart.

Thank you too for the encouraging words to ‘”stand up for ’something.’ ” You are so right… “the place to start is with what matters to you now” and it is important that “our stand comes from our heart…”

I am a firm believer that people are typically very perceptive and they can indeed read your eyes, your soul — and your heart (if even – and only – via your written words.)

Thank you for sharing your heart in today’s post.

Joanne

Thank you Monica. You make so many points that enrich this post. You also exemplify this concept especially through your work with the notion of Otheresteem. For those of you who do not know Monica you may want to check out her book on the subject Otheresteem: Regaining the Poewr to Value Others here: http://www.otheresteem.org/

Thanks for your comment Perry. You are so right. Circumstances for some are so daunting that just getting up to face the day requires heroic effort and the willingness to hold an intention that defies current reality. That is why I think the only person who can truly judge the magnitude of someone’s stand in any given moment is the person taking the stand. It all truly does matter.
