Dreams Really Do Come True...To The Buried Life...This One's For You!

The great guys of The Buried Life (http://www.mtv.com/shows/buried_life/season_2/series.jhtml) played a huge role in my life by inspiring me to start the kindness movement.  In fact, one of the things that I wanted to do before I died was meet them.  Tonight I did.  Well, half of them...Ben was kind enough to sit down and listen as I briefly explained Project Change The World and our latest initiatives.  Duncan gave me a great, rocking bear hug and liked my colorful outfit!  What really amazed me the most though, was probably the fact that as I was sitting right next to Ben talking, I just looked at him and thought, "He's just an ordinary guy living out his dreams.  What a beautiful thing.  If he can do it, why can't I?"  Their message was one of inspiration and hope and I absolutely love these guys.  They get it.  They see that the world is ours and not something to be afraid of but rather something to go after and believe in.  I believe that anything is possible.  Tonight was evidence as I recall Ben's arm being wrapped around me for a photo moment and thinking to myself, "Is this really happening?"  It did.  It can for anyone.  You are only as limited as you allow yourself to be.  Go out and live life to the fullest.  Live it and love it.  Don't hold back.  Thank you The Buried Life for showing us all that.  You guys are something special.  Much love to you.

Cupcakes Don't Matter

I was looking through my old composition book the other night, from a year ago.  This is when it all began.  The dreams that I had scribbled out wishing upon for my upcoming birthday.  Things that I wanted to accomplish, not for myself, but for a world that needed love.  I wanted to make the world a better place.  That was all I wanted for my birthday.  If  only I could have imagined then, the doors that would soon open.  A year later, The World Changers have taken care items to the homeless, volunteered every week with Hands On Charlotte over the summer, collected donations for a family in need, attended annual walks, and most recently, threw our own "do good" day!  In the coming months, we plan to complete a food drive, sing Christmas Carols  to the homeless as well as taking them additional care packages, collect toys for kids that wouldn't ordinarily get anything during the holidays, attend the St. Jude Give Thanks Walk, help the Salvation Army, take a personal pledge to each get an Angel off the Angel Tree, and do anything else positive that we can come up with!  I am also in the process of shooting a documentary with footage from our wonderful fall festival among other things, as well as getting a space to be called, "The Inspiration Room."  This will be a special place for anyone that wants to make a positive impact on our world.  Here we will gather to hold meetings, individuals will come out to be inspired and work, we will make new  friends, and ultimately, learn, create, and collaborate to change our world!  The community room will have an open-door policy so everyone is welcome to come out and be inspired to make a difference.  If you would like to support us in this latest project, please consider donating whatever you are able on our home page at the bottom.  We cannot change the world alone.  You are as much of a part of this as we are.   Together, as one, please give me the greatest gift for my birthday of all: love.  Remember, not for me though.  Your support stands for so much more...
