This was written in late May….. I’m a little late on the blogging front but, with age comes excuses!!
As I stumble out of my 30 ’s and into my 40 th year of living I have decided to throw my selfishness to the way side and seek selflessness as my new mantra for the next 40.
After my experience at Blog Paws and the ever reverberating sound of their “Be the Change You Want to See ”message that I carry with me daily I finally decided to buck up and try to live the message instead of sitting around wondering what it meant to me.
So what does “Be the Change ”mean. Visit their site http://www.blogpaws.com for more information , but essentially it’s about making a difference, whether small or big. It ’s not about copious amounts of cash or large donations of product or time, no, it ’s about everyone doing something- anything to make a difference for animals across this beautiful globe.
On my Birthday, which is 6.24.2010, I plan to hike the miles of my age. I ’ve mentioned this in previous blogs but had yet to formulate an official plan. So, as it stands the plan has been formulated. I will be stepping out my back door and onto the Spokane trails that lead me to the river and far north for 40 miles . Joined by my husband and Queen La Teva we will take this hike in honor of all the dogs in the world that are without homes or loved ones… and to the cats, the millions of cats that wait to be adopted in shelters across the globe. It is my hope that you will all join me in spirit on our hike by doing something in your community to “Be the Change ”. Sorry folks, there ’s homework for you in my project but consider it a gift to me through ‘them ’. ( I still like gifts of some sort)
Instead of asking for donations I ask that you all post something on my FB page sharing with everyone what you did to “Be the Change ”. Thanks for celebrating my birthday with me . And please, when we meet again, ignore the wrinkles, the gray hair and most of all the slight limp in my gait from walking a helluva long way.
