"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. "
-Jack Kerouac

About me: A wise and great man named Martin Luther King, Jr. said:
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
I started this page to draw focus to our world's issues and to create a place where people with like minds and who care for life and the environment can come together to make a difference. This is a place to use our voices for the things that matter. One person can make a difference in the world and one action no matter how big or how miniscule can change the course of the future. As a unity we can make history and change what is to come. We have the power and the ability to make positive changes in our own lives and in the lives of those around us. Each of us leaves a print on this world in some way. So, join me in trying to make this world an even better place to live, because Earth is our home. It is also the future home of our children and our children's children. We take and take, and it is time to give back. The Earth feeds us, shelters us, clothes us, quenches our thirst, and gives us the air we breathe. Without it we would cease to exist and that, my friends, is what many of us forget. Our duty in this world is not just to ourselves, but to all life and to our universe. If we are stronger then we must take it upon ourselves to help those who are not as strong and speak for those who cannot speak. Instead of lurking in the shadows let us stand up and fight for what we believe in.
Who I'd like to meet: I welcome one and all and hope you enjoy your time in this space, but please keep in mind that this profile was made for the purpose of unity, awareness, and action. This is a place to spread love not hate. We all know there is adversity in life and we all know that life is hard and it isn't fair, but we have each other to make it through each day. We have the inner power to manifest what we want and what we need. You don't have to believe in what I believe, but just believe in something...starting with yourself.

Thanks for supporting our Troops! I appreciate it and I know our Troops appreciate it.
If you would like to help us thank those still serving overseas and help those coming home wounded, please stop by the profile, read the latest blog and do what you can.
sometimes people come into our lives that inspire us, motivate us, encourage us, and touch our hearts in some way as they help us see the true meaning of life; they could be a friend, they could be a stranger, but in their own way they make an impact on our lives, helping to change it and make it better

Have a good week, or try to! You *ARE* Loved :) ♥ Joanne ♥
(Sorry this isn't personalized to every individual, I'm sending this out to EVERYONE on the site) While I'm in the process of doing some 'friend cleaning' see blog, I thought it might be a good time to ask those of you who *want* to be here to subscribe to my blog if you haven't already. Not at all necessary to not being deleted, Just thought I might as well get it all done at once, since the process is going to take some time. It may also be a good time for those who don't really support the PTSD cause and/or don't want to see pictures or comments like this to just go ahead and delete, cuz I can't run this site afraid of who I can send what comments to. I mean if you want to delete the comment, but keep me/the site/the cause, that's fine. I just want it to be abundantly clear, if it isn't already, this is and will remain an MJ judgment/hate free site. You don't have to like him....just keep the hate elsewhere. Thanks, I appreciate your understanding and patience during this transitional time. http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.subscribe&friendId=143717533&action=subscribe

I really appreciate your support and helping spread the word - as a group we can really make a difference! Hope you are doing well and you have a great week!
Help support our troops by visiting the Military Troops Calendar Myspace page (on my top friends), www. militarytroopscalendar. com or my Myspace page and click the Paypal button. Proceeds go to the Fisher House, Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and allow us to send the calendars to the troops serving overseas free of charge to thank them for their service to our country. Our goal is to send 17,000 overseas within the next couple weeks. Thank you for your support!
