Nickelback: If Everyone Cared
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you’d be mine
But here we are, we’re here tonight
Singing Amen, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I’m alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died
And I’m singing
Amen I, I’m alive
Amen I, I’m alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We’ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen I’m alive
Singing Amen I’m alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We’d see the day when nobody died
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day when nobody died

About me:
The world produces enough food to feed each person 3x over
Yet somehow, 854 million people across the world are hungry
And somehow, 40 to 60 MILLION people a year will die of starvation and other illnesses related to hunger
Hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, families cannot even provide their most basic needs like food and water.
The world produces enough food to feed every person 17% more than he or she needs a day
Unfortunately, still, 1/6th (18%) of the population live under the poverty line making less than $1 a day (thats more than a billion people)
53% of the global population lives under 2$ a day.
Every second, a person dies of hunger or hunger related illnesses
75% of those people are children, That's 16,000 children a day.
In 2005, 10.1 million children died before their fifth birthday
This problem, contrary to popular belief, is not solely an African and Middle Eastern problem. In the US, 1 in 8 children under 12 goes to bed hungry.
35 to 40 million people in the US go to bed hunger at least twice a week
For the price of a missile, an entire school of children could eat for a whole year
For 5 percent of the funding spent on the military alone- we could erradicate world hunger AND ensure that every child has basic primary education
It would cost approximately 19 billion dollars to end the world hunger crises, thats roughly the amount the world spends in a year on ice cream alone.
And why, might I ask, does the western world need so much ice cream, when we could be saving ourselves from our own rising obesity epidemic which is equally as harmful to one's health, solving our own poverty problem, and saving the fragile lives of those who are already overwhelmed by the devastating effects of poverty?
The point of this myspace, is not, infact, to stop you from buying cet ice cream, but rather to expose the pandemic that is World Hunger and act against it.
World Hunger is Stoppable, but it takes a world to stop it!
A good friend is a connection to life… a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world. Your ray of light is a gift to everyone it touches!
Wishing you and yours the most wonderful of holidays and a new year filled with oodles of good health, happiness, love, abundance and miraculous wonders coming your way!

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. " ~ Teddy Roosevelt
Please dont turn away... Refugees...are the most valnerable people on earth... everyday they are fighting to survive...they deserve our respect...
Please Do Not Forget Them... Remember Them on World Refugee Day... June 20th
Angelina asks us not to forget them, the “most vulnerable people on Earth”. The UNHCR has been my personal charitable organization of choice for years now. On the 20th think about all of refugees around the world and thanking Angelina Jolie for being such a tireless champion of refugee needs and rights and for using her extreme fame to draw attention to the people who most deserve it.
World Refugee Day on June 20 - Real People, Real Needs
World Refugee Day is an opportunity, every year, for people around the world to raise awareness and understanding in their communities about the plight of refugees.
Help us spread understanding and awareness about refugees on June 20th... ~AA~
New Year’s Reflections Looking back on the months gone by, As a new year starts and an old one ends, We contemplate what brought us joy, And we think of our loved ones and our friends. Recalling all the happy times, Remembering how they enriched our lives We reflect upon who really counts, As the fresh and bright new year arrives. And when I ponder those who do, I immediately think of you. Thanks Angel for being here & one of the reasons I'll have a Happy New Year!
Hope your New Year is filled with Peace, Happiness, Friendship, Prosperity & Good Health... Liz ;) xoxox

Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck.
Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for spiritual workers worldwide.
I hope there's a big pot of gold at the end of your rainbow -- and for all the children of our world.
