POWER BY EXAMPLE

Bill Clinton gets it...recently at the Democratic Convention, in his speech he said

"The United States can return to a world leader by the power of our example, not by the example of power".

Go Obama!

NEVER DOUBT

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world!


I believe this. The power of a positive small group is transforming and catches people who want to believe, but need the group to carry them. It is going to take more than Obama to make the lasting changes we all want.

WE ARE IT

A lot of people are waiting for Martin Luther King, Jr. or Mahatma Gandhi to come back---but they are gone.

We are it. It is up to us. It is up to you. -Marian Wright Edelman


What more needs to be said?

NO CLASSES FOR LIFE

"There are no classes in life for beginners; right away you are always asked to deal with what is most difficult." Raina Maria Rilke

I think we can deal with almost anything our lives deliver if we have the faith and courage and deep desire to commit to a positive way of living and giving.

OBAMA OR BUST

Today is a very significant day.

We MUST support Obama for President.

While there is no perfect candidate, Obama represents honest, open and intelligent leadership. Unlike HIllary, he is not afraid to tell Americans the truth---no games for the sake of being elected.

Let your voice be heard. Americans want and need to be heard.

HAVE A GREAT MIND

"Small minds talk about personalities; great minds talk about ideas." -Rev. Ed Rodman

TRUTH

"Let the people know the truth and the people will be free." Unknown

Today, with the primary election in PA, if only people could know the truth; there would be no contest!

We have been lied to for so long that most don't even question it any longer. Yet, the truth can be so freeing!

SELF SUNSHINE

"Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine." - R.W. Emerson

Today, rather than see the down side of your life, bask in the warmth of the goodness. Notice the simple pleasures like a child's smile or a grandmother's touch or a friend's welcome.

Feel the sunshine.

LIFE'S CHESS BOARD

"After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box." -Italian proverb

Bottom line, we are all equal players in life, or SHOULD be. Isn't that what this election is about? Finally, leveling the playing field again so that ALL have access to a full life?

PUTTING ART INTO PERSPECTIVE

Life is short, art long. -Hypocrites

Art endures. Make art today. Buy art today.

UNHURRIED TIME

"An unhurried sense of time is in itself a form of wealth." -Bonnie Friedman

Americans always seem to be in such a rush. Yet, taking the time to notice how Spring is transforming our natural world and seeing the smile of a passing stranger adds such value to our life---maybe more precious then any material wealth.

MLK'S LEGACY

"History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the trident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Remember King's legacy by getting out an working for Obama. We all can make a change, but our voices must be heard.

OBAMA:MAN OF COURAGE

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." -Winston Churchill

After listening the Barach Obama's speech this morning, I am more convinced then ever that Obama has the courage, intelligence, heart and spirit to bring about lasting change in our broken world.

Please listen to his words, and have the conviction to tell others.

LIVING UP TO GOOD

"But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." -Buddha


Live up to "it" today. Examine carefully our political candidates and consider how each one works for the good of ALL.

Obama.

ACHIEVING GREATNESS

"Nothing great has ever been achieved without enthusiasm." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph had it right.

However, observe in our world today how enthusiasm, passion is somehow suspect. Enthusiasm may be exactly what will make the difference. Certainly, Obama's campaign is a living example of how greatness has emerged.
