Here is the release of “We Are The World“—25 years later. An amazing update from the last one and just as inspiring. I hope everyone will continue to remember Haiti, and also not forget New Orleans and the people who are still suffering from the effects of Katrina years later. There are others—that are living in our own neighbourhoods and communities—that need our support. A good friend said to me today, “feed one fish and find ways to help support that fish to feed a whole school of fish!” If each of us starts with one act of kindness a day, we will be able to make a step forward towards “we are the world”!
I thought I would change the tone and theme of my post today and provide some humor as well as some inspiration. We all know Ellen Degeneres. I find her so funny. For those of you who do not know, Tulane University is located in New Orleans. As of today there are many who are suffering the ravages years later from Hurricane Katrina. A city with so much history and vibrant with culture….almost drown at the hands of mother nature. As this brave city shows its resilience, this speech from Ellen reminds each of us to be who we are. The power of believing in yourself will be the milestone that allows each one of us to make our most profound contribution. I came across this post from a daily feed called Splendora. Gina Pell, the founder of this trend zine as I like to call it, always finds such interesting things to cover on her weekly radar! Enjoy — I sure did.
