All Aboard...To Change The World!

Posted by Beth Campbell Posted on: 07/28/08

All Aboard...To Change The World!

 I know together we can make a difference.

My name is Ms. Beth and  I write about all things important to me  i.e. Little Dancers, children, family, finding happiness/success, relationships, wellness, arts and entertainment.  I'm proud to be a grandma and dancing grandma would be the best description of who I am. I've been teaching, inspiring and nurturing for over 30 years.  I am a grandma, I am vibrant, I like to have fun, I have a lot more life to live, when I get the chance to sit it out or dance...I choose to dance. I choose to make a difference. 

Once upon a time elders were looked highly upon for wisdom, direction and to help nurture and care fo the young.  Through time families have scattered and technology has taken the place of elders. We go to google or yahoo to find wisdom, we mapquest for direction and all too often instead of being nurtured by a caring adult many of our children are spending too much time playing video games, watching TV, left to fend for themselves or they're warehoused.  I'm concerned is our society getting enough nurturing?  Are we seeing more violent criminal acts on the nightly news, because of a lack of nurturing?  We need to care about our neighbors, all of our children need to be nurtured, we need to listen to the crys for help, we need to share our wisdom, we need to do more nurturing.  "Pay it Forward" is not just the name of a movie it is a way we can change the world.  If we...you and me start facilitating random acts of kindness on a regular basis who knows how many lives we will positively impact. One becomes two and two becomes four and four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen, etc....."Paying it Forward" can rapidly touch a large number of people. I want everyone to get involved and help make a difference men, women, young and old.  I especially want grandparents to step up.  We are the fastest growing demographic in our society.  We are a strong force and we're going to live longer lives than our ancestors did.  How will we use our time?  We have wisdom to help guide new generations, we're experienced travelers with the ability to help the lost find their way back to a safe path and we have enough loving hearts and arms to hug and nurture all the children if we ban together.  As Dr. Suess said "Oh The Places You'll go--- you have a brain in your head, feet in your shoes, you're off to great places, today is your day"!   We all need to stop waiting for the world to change.....we need to start changing the world.  A child is waiting, time is passing by, another unnurtured child becomes an angry adult....we need to get going and on our way.  Today is the day!
