Thanks for posting that article. Our society easily turns its head on problems that are not blasting on the TV 24/7. It's so sad. If we can only shine a light not only on the continuing problems, but sustain an inner light in our hearts, as a country, we are strong enough to make a difference for many many people.
Poverty in this country needs a MAJOR light-bulb moment or two.
AIDS in Africa is another.
I do believe a single person has the power to make a difference in someone's life. It's easy to get overwhelmed even when you are not faced with the problem/situation itself.
I could go on about this President and his manipulation of the media, but I'll save that for the political board. Don't get me started ...
Thinking of you Dinah and the thousands upon thousands of people in New Orleans whose lives and souls are still unsettled.
