Wk 2 - Free choice - "Oh very young what will you leave us this time" - Cat Stevens
Recently I was watching a documentary and they showed a clip of Martin Luther King, Jr. I will paraphrase the comment he made. He said "that if you have an opportunity at 36 to positively impact society but pass on it because you fear harassment, jail or even death you may live to be 85 years old. Unfortunately you were actually dead at 36." Were would we be if he decided to "play it safe"? As teachers and employees in the corporate world we have opportunities to create the change we talk about. It could be as small as a pat on the back or a word of encouragement. Keep throwing those starfish back in the ocean.

Louria,
Neat blog design - nestled between book shelves, clever. Your wisdom and wit is evident in all you do. I have appreciated your leadership in our Full Sail endeavors. Thanks for the Cat Stevens quote and the soul searching reference to MLK's "dead at 36" truly shows that you pull from a wealth of resources. Back to your blog design, it really is a picture of you...volumes of information displayed in a kaleidoscope of color..
"As I am writing this someone is creating something new in our global community."
Louria, I think that 'someone' is you!
A Louria Fan,
Vandy
