Well, here it is again. The day of love that some people can't stand and others wait for all year. But whether you think V-Day is just an excuse for greeting card companies to make an added bonus or you're a hopeless romantic that loves love itself, there is an aspect of Valentines Day that should speak to us all. We were born to love and be loved. So forget dinners you can't afford or hiding under the blankets today. Go out and give love to someone that needs it. Someone forgotten and alone. That 40 something woman huddled under her tiny blanket on a bus bench in the inner city or that kid with the sad eyes in a housing facility whose clothes have one too many holes and mom and dad aren't around anymore. Don't just throw money at them but spend time with them. Ask them their story or just listen to whatever they want to talk about. Easy enough right? Yet, so many of us wait for someone else to do it. "Why isn't somebody doing anything about it?", you ask. Well, guess what. You are somebody.
Hello there friends, thank you for stopping by my blog! I 'm Suzanne and I'm the creator and founder of Project Change The World. I began this movement from the childhood dream that I could make the world a better place. Yes, I know, most children dream of being astronauts or rock stars but I've always been slightly different than most. Nonetheless, my dream of living life to the fullest by making a difference in the world was fully realized back in May 2010. I was tired of sitting back and helplessly watching bad things happen to innocent folks. I was sick of not doing anything about it. I decided it was time for a change. I scribbled some notes and ideas into my composition books and began the planning and research phase. Shortly later, PCW began to come to life. I realized that if no one else was going to do something like this, someone had to. Someone had to stand up for what's right. Even though I don't like scary movies and people have let me down one too many times, I decided that it was time to be brave and step out of my comfort zone. I thought of all the greats (MLK, Rosa Parks, Lincoln, Einstein, Washington, etc.) and realized that if they too had been afraid, where would our world be today? So here I am writing this, in hopes that one day others will step up too and join the movement to save lives. My ultimate goal is to live in a world where kids can safely play on the streets, people are strong enough to do the right thing despite temptation, no child really is left behind because they are our future, nature is preserved, no animal is abused. cancer is cured, teen girls don't starve themselves, and so on. Some will call it all naive and unrealistic but anything great in life never comes easy. I dare to do what others deem impossible. I want to live in a world where good deeds and spontaneous, warm-hearted gestures mixed with strong yet gentle love are everywhere to be found. Don't you? But wanting is not enough; it's time to do something with that dream. We must enable, empower, save, help, restore, give, heal, and change. Join me?
