I Want To End World Poverty....

There are so many issues on my heart that it is hard to know which to really just settle in and run with.

But there is no doubt that World Poverty is one of my greatest hearts' desires. And it should be as I was abandoned as an infant, without food, malnourished. But I was saved, sheltered and given food, love and a family. There are so many people and children who have some or none of the above.

I struggle with knowing this as I live freely and in great wealth. But what would be worse is if I did absolutely nothing to help in relieving this world-wide pandemic.

I'm a dreamer but being a dreamer and being an active dreamer are two different things.

Being complacent and letting other folks do the campaigning, the work, etc. is not my style and I look forward to getting my hands dirty in the middle of the action. I do best getting dirty and involving myself deeply.

There are things I'm questioning right now, but no matter, there is no need to stop doing what I'm doing, in order to regain my perspective. I've chosen to push on and still do what I can despite my questions.

I know as one person, I am unable to end world poverty, but I can make a difference in some way or another, if I am willing...
