What Will You Do?

January 20, 2009

In the big picture, nothing has changed. But everything has changed.

We now have a president who speaks in full sentences.
We have a president who can pronounce the word nuclear.
We have a country and, in fact, perhaps a whole world poised to make change with the hope for something better.

If everyone hoping that the inauguration of President Obama will make a change, works for change, we will have the change we desire.

So, what are you going to do?
What is your part of the change?

So far:
I have committed to join a local organic farm and purchase a share of their produce for the year. Both for my health and the health of the environment.
I have also committed to a sizeable (though painful) donation to the local shelter/food bank - others need it more than I do.
And I'm going to get involved with some of the groups working on change for the healthcare system so that it can be about both health and caring instead of neither.
