i'm not sure how much of an agent for change i am... i simply go where the divine sends me... usually where someone is in pain and needs support... for the past two years i've been sortof caught up in the aid of two very special people... one of whom is my neice... she spent a childhood being blamed by her mother for being born... (not my sister's child thank God) i have been teaching her what self worth means... she's come a long way... from a frightened 17 year old about to be shoved out into the world to a bright intelligent young woman looking forward to the future and able to survive in it...

my other "project" if you will is a friend who was about to face an ordeal by fire... i found myself broken down on the side of the road about to become homeless... when a young woman stopped to help... she was the friend of a friend (gotta love small town america) ... this woman literally took me in off the side of the road... a virtual stranger... in the months since this woman went thru a messy and bitter divorce and lost the love and support of her family... all turned on her because she was attempting to get herself and her children out of a bad situation ... not only with her husband... but her abusive father... she lost her job, her home and almost lost her children... i'm sure i was stranded on the side of the road by divine intervention... so that i could be there to help and protect this innocent soul...

i have since gotten a home of my own into which i have brought both of these women ... and slowly but surely by connection to both of them i am finding more lost souls that need a little support...

sometimes i think that in the rush to change the whole world we forget that sometimes we can do more by just helping one person at a time...

i don't heal the planet... i don't run out and save the world... i just try to help where i can... one person at a time...
