Let's Make It Count!

The Year Ahead

Well, my fellow travellers in my quest to make this world a better place, 2011 is fast growing to close, The question is are you ready for  2012? You have a choice as to where you going to make it count as one of the best years of you life life or not. This isn't about positive thinking, this is about choosing to made a positive approach to 2012! Let me illustrate. . .

I personally can chose reflect on 2011 as a pretty average, my city was brought to its knees by floods with a major health struggle and family upheavals or reflect on a truly amazing year where I have come together with a bunch of liked minded people, made a whole bunch of new friends. In terms of work, I never dreamed, I write a paper on social network working or send it to a international conference, as for having my blog "Debbie's Discussion" to presented to the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (I have to keep checking the email), poetry accepted for publication, and writing groups. I wonder how I managed to pack it all in.  What an awesome year 2011 has been for me! I don't need to let my circumstances dedicated how I evaluate my year. Do you know what I mean? 

Anyway if you want to plan your "Year of awesomeness" here's a link Annual Review .  

Stop and Think!

What do you use clean water for?

Could you survive 24 hours on only bottled water?

If we cut all water supply how would you cope!

For thousands around the world this is still a reality everyday,

many do not have access to even clean drinking water,

Women and young girls are often raped on root to

collecting water that they no is contaminated.

I say water is Life! 

and

Access to clean water is a human right,

Please watch this video and pass it on!

National Hug Day!  

Nation Hugging Day in the US!

What is the value of a National Hug Day!

"We have got more than our quota of whiners

and far too few hugs these days. Most of us have a 

little person inside who meeds human contact,

in this stainless steel, computerised society,

where everybody is keep at arms length. 

Consider hugging as non-sexual (sign of affection) 

like a hand-shake or high-five. Such personal contact

makes you feel good. A good hug warms relationship

between people. That's what National Hugging Day is all about"

Chris Thompson, Saginaw News (MI) News Colonist!  

Our suggestion

we recommend you substitute hugs for hand-shakes on 21st January 
and always ask first before hugging someone!

OK! You're gonna need to know what a "hug" involves. We're using the Wikipedia  definition, but if your attempting any world records you need to check with the Guinness People for there rules. A hug is a form of physical intimacy, that involves closing or holding the arms around the neck, back, or waist of another person. If involving more than two people this is referred to as a group hug.
