KONY2012 - to support or not?

Wed, 07 Mar 2012 11:15:20 -0800

This battle for and against the KONY 2012 campaign makes me sad. First off, who cares who knew first. The goal is to make everyone aware. Then there’s the visiblechildren stuff. You’re really going to spend time bad naming the organization who initiated the movement for change? Got to the point where I called Invisible Children myself. The person I spoke to claims they do not directly support any of the liberation armies in Unganda or Sudan; they mainly support the US involvement in stopping the LRA and Joseph Kony. If the money is your issue and you still want to make a difference then make your own posters, start converstaions about it, keep posting, call and right letters to the officials, but stop pointing your fingers at the organization that brought this issue to the forefront and to all of our awareness. Plus, it takes money to run organizations. What would be sad is if Invisible Children kept releasing bracelets and videos and then disappeared with everyone’s money. They’re still there, and they’re still fighting! It is amazing to see how social media can spread anything like wildfire nowadays but let’s not be so easily convinced by anything we see here. Educate yourself, make a difference where you can… and more importantly, do all this in the real world itself, not just cyberspace.

My phone memory was nearly full, mostly with dance videos. So, I’ve decided to start posting some videos to help clear space and also to share some dances from last year.

Here is the oldest one. This was from my class in May. Excuse Kate complimenting my phone’s quality in the beginning. x) I had a ton of fun in this class and will never forget that day.

Hope you like it.

What You Know

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 01:32:00 -0800

On the horizon lay a new light
Welcoming a new day
Another dream
Another hope
Yet another chance at dismay
On display lay the hues
True to the names they’re assigned
So there I find peace and unwind easily
Letting worries be worry’s bind
Stayed blind to what I know not
If only I know not
So a choice to know not
‘Twas not to hard to choose
For in knowing only what I know
I chose to know the truth I find in those hues
On the horizon I lay in light
As I welcome a new way
Turning dreams
Into hopes
Bringing life to my day

I’ve been told three times between the the last week of 2010 and the this first week of 2011 this specific quote (once each by my “BESTs”)… “Everyone dies, but not everyone lives.” It’s stuck in my heart as a simple New Year’s resolution. Through everything, LIVE. Through the ups and downs, it’s my choice to know that its a choice to see things in a certain way, a light. That’s what faith, positive thinking, living all are. They’re simply different names. 2011, it’s a new day. :)

I am blessed to have a family like mine. I cherish every single one of them dispite the fact that we don’t get too see each other all the time like we used too. At times we have MISCOMMUNICATIONS and MISUNDERSTANDINGS but I know in my heart that’s all they are. I hope they feel the same because it would break my heart if they ever thought I wouldn’t love them unconditionally. Thank you Lord for this blessing! Blood is thicker than water. <3

Working hard.

At work hanging out with my dance team, making bracelets for fundraising, jammin’ to the radio… I love my job.

If you would like to support the Castle Park Middle School dance team buy some handmade jewelry by the kids. Price’s range from $0.50-$3 and the styles range from pony beads “candies” to hemp and wood bead jewelry. We’re even taking custom orders for letters on your “candies” :)

Blown away and left speechless. There’s something about when art moves you that you can’t describe. The best way I can think of right now is that it’s like a deep breathe of fresh air at ease after nearly drowning.
