“Just A Smile, Sister!” August 2, 2012 – Posted by cabbage

I was walking along a sidewalk in the city. A bit of a distance away I could see a woman walking along with a big signboard around her neck. I was naturally curious about what it said, so I deliberately slowed my pace so I could see.

It read "Trust in Kindness," and I smiled at the lady as I walked on towards my building.

She looked at me and said, "That’s all I’m looking for … just a smile, sister!"

That totally made my day!

The Story of Change

“I’ve come to see that we have two parts to ourselves; it’s almost like two muscles — a consumer muscle and a citizen muscle. Our consumer muscle, which is fed and exercised constantly, has grown strong: So strong that “consumer” has become our primary identity, our reason for being. We’re told so often that we’re a nation of consumers that we don’t blink when the media use “consumer” and “person” interchangeably.” In this thought-provoking article and short video, Annie Leonard, the creator of “The Story of Stuff” shares the crux of her latest production — “The Story of Change”, on what it really takes to translate knowledge into meaningful action. { read more }
