Though I am just ONE that BELIEVES in the BEST AMERICAN tradition of helping others help themselves. By BELIEVING that NOW is the TIME to Stand UP, Speak OUT AND Take ACTION, with OTHER countries in ONE historic pact for COMPASSION and JUSTICE to help the poorest people of the world overcome NEGLECTED DISEASES and EXTREME POVERTY.
I am ONE; that recognizes that a pact including such measures as fair trade, debt relief, fighting corruption and over time, directing an amount equal to ONE percent of the U.S. budget toward meeting BASIC needs:
Education
Health
CLEAN Water
Food
CARE for orphans would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the poorest countries.
I am COMMITTED to making a BETTER, SAFER World for all -
ONE Person
ONE Voice
ONE Vote
ONE by ONE, we ARE the DIFFERENCE!
Why aren't you ONE yet ?
The goal is simple -no children anywhere should die from any preventable causes.
That's what WE believe, and that's what we should ALL be fighting for.
There is a solution. Programs sponsored by UNICEF and its partners are providing that solution. UNICEF is saving more lives than any other humanitarian organization.
When all is said and done at the end of the day; I'm still ONE - because I Believe In ZERO !
"To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it."
- President Barack Obama
"Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He dragged us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!"
- Golda Meir, Former Israeli Prime Minister
"Thus my modest recommendation, requiring no change in laws or regulations, just a little more gumption. Let us start talking about group differences openly—all sorts of group differences, from the visuospatial skills of men and women to the vivaciousness of Italians and Scots.
Let us talk about the nature of the manly versus the womanly virtues. About differences between Russians and Chinese that might affect their adoption of capitalism.
About differences between Arabs and Europeans that might affect the assimilation of Arab immigrants into European democracies.
About differences between the poor and non-poor that could inform policy for reducing poverty."
- Charles Alan Murray, from "The Inequality Taboo"
"The only thing new in the world is
the history you do not know"
- President Harry S. Truman
How do I change?
If I feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labour.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will think of past success.
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
Today I will be the master of my emotions.

*humanity meaning consideration for the existence and the happiness of individual human beings*
Respect for life, resulting from contemplation on one's own conscious will to live, leads the individual to live in the service of other people and of every living creature."

Greetings, c'mon in, make yourself comfy,
watch your step, don't mind the chandelier hangin' funny -
feel free to go for a swing on it later.
Why not ? I did... NOW ask yourself if it was magic that brought you here and I'll say, "HOW else could I have gotten on this side of your screen to play with the other side of your brain?"
My name really isn't all that important. I didn't approve this message or page for that matter...That's up to YOU, fellow world citizens, who would consider me a friend.
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
You can always amend a big plan;
but you can never expand a little one.
I don't believe in little plans.
I believe in plans big enough to meet
a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.”
- President Harry S. Truman
Okay so this means I don't exist ?!
Sure. It ALL makes sense to me.

***Special thanks to The HOUR DOG without whose ULTIMATE SACRIFICE I might not have never known what kind of SUPERHERO I am. Those of you whom aren't sure you have ever heard of her or not might remember her as Maxine Turner from Viginia Tech.***
I'm loaded. It's official. I'm the 889,988,877 richest person on earth!
It's not important if anyone will remember me for who I am, what I've done or even tried to do. The important thing is to know that someone at least had the courage to try to make a difference in the world. It's the things we leave behind that hold the keys to knowledge, enlightenment and understanding.
Even now, when people do see me (as opposed to looking past me) they think I'm someone else... pffffft - no big. First it was, "OMG it's Luke Spencer from GH" - upgraded last year to, "Dude, has anyone ever told you you look like George Carlin ?"
MY Mo'(what I call my REAL Mom) told me I should NEVER talk to strangers... but I, being the social creature I am; do take time to introduce myself by saying, "HI, I Be Me" and at least attempt to give you the opportunity to respond also by asking, "Who Be You??"
I really am the Son Of A Son Of A Sailor & a Pirate Lookin' Back At 40 - *Thanks for the songs Jimmy Buffet*. According to MY family's book of records; I am the 877th nut to fall from the family tree in The U.S.A. since 1760. I was born a month late (contrary to the "He crawled out from under a rock" stories); my mom and dad shot off fireworks displays to pay for me to be born.
Ummmmm, lemme see... Things I've been the in my life (now in no particular order); a grain of sand, a beach bum, a musician, a thespian, a class clown, a bohemian, a lesbian, a model, a photographer, a troubleshooter, a therapist, an instructor, a conductor, a life-saver, a risk-taker, a care-giver, a life-liver (eeeww - not to be confused with eating liver), a compassionate shoulder to cry on, a consultant, a problem solver, quicker-picker-upper of things and people left behind or forgotten yet STILL, to this day, just a kid - armed with common sense that wants to be ALIVE when I DO grow up !
YOU can take me to Sharper Image or Toyz-R-Us ANYTIME !!!
Things I have to say; even though they've already been said... I guess that means there is a reason they need to repeated sometimes:
"The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life."
- President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied... but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.
- John Berger
PLEASE keep in mind - these numbers are constantly changing
Number of children in the world:
2.2 billion
Number in poverty:
1 billion (that's every second child)
Shelter, safe water and health for the 1.9 billion children from the developing world, there are:
640 million without adequate shelter (1 in 3)
400 million with no access to safe water (1 in 5)
270 million with no access to health services (1 in 7)
Children out of education worldwide:
121 million
Survival for children Worldwide:
10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5
(same as the child population of France, Germany, Greece and Italy combined)
1.4 million die each year from lack of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation
Health of children Worldwide:
2.2 million children die each year because they are not immunized
15 million children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS
(similar to the total child population in Germany or United Kingdom)
The wealthiest nation on Earth has the widest gap between rich and poor of any industrialized nation.
The 48 poorest countries account for less than 0.4 percent of global exports.
Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific.
A mere 12 percent of the world’s population uses 85 percent of its water, and these 12 percent do not live in the Third World.
The richest 50 million people in Europe and North America have the same income as 2.7 billion poor people.
The lives of 1.7 million children were needlessly lost in 2000 because world governments continue to fail to reduce poverty levels.
North America has 50% of the worlds wealth and only 6.3% of the world's population.
Here's just a little bit more for you to swallow...
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the dangers of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agonies of torture,
or the stomach pangs of starvation...
you are ahead of 500 million other people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator,
clothes on your back,
a roof overhead and a safe place to sleep...
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have some money in the bank,
some cash in your wallet,
and put your spare change in a dish or in a piggy bank for your child's future...
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
"I believe that, as long as there is plenty,
poverty is evil."
- Senator Robert Kennedy
"Only after the last tree has been cut down,
only after the last river has ben poisoned,
only after the last fish has been caught,
only then will you find that money cannot be eaten."
- Cree proverb
"Poverty is a noose that strangles humility
and breeds disrespect for God and man."
- Sioux proverb
"The task of the modern educator is not to
cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."
-C.S. Lewis
Your Psyche is Yellow
You have a ton of energy -
both physical and mental endurance.
You are rational and logical,
and you can help almost anyone think clearly.
Optimistic and bright, you also have
a secret side that's a little darker.
When you are too yellow:
You will do anything to get your way,
and no one will be the wiser
When you don't have enough yellow:
you lack confidence, drive, and humor
"REMEMBER - A DAY WITHOUT SUNSHINE IS LIKE........ NIGHT !!!"
- Robin Williams from Reality, What A Concept
Sun Sign: Sagittarius Sun 1° Sagittarius 56'
The Archer is really a centaur -- the lower half is horse, the upper half is a man. The man is holding a bow with an arrow aimed upwards toward the sky. This symbolizes the Sagittarian's drive to overcome basic animal instincts by aiming his thoughts into the divine realms of the heavens. In other words, you Archers are hunting for ideas and experiences that draw you into greater awareness. As such, you Sagittarians tend to love adventure, travel and philosophy -- all ways of extending beyond your immediate surroundings.
Motto: "It is better to know how to learn than to know."
Greatest Strength: Your undying optimistic attitude
Moon Sign: Pisces Moon 9° Pisces 19'
The Moon in Pisces is like having an emotional antenna that picks up every radio station in the universe. Feelings flood in from all directions, sometimes filling you with delight, sometimes with panic. Learning that all you feel is not yours can be an enormous relief because it reduces the emotional load you have to carry. You are not responsible for everything that you feel. Yet this openness also makes you compassionate and imaginative, openly receptive to others and their needs. Knowing when to pull back, though, is essential to your well-being since you absorb so much of what's going on around you.
Motto: "I can feel your pain,"
Greatest Strength: Boundless empathy and imagination
Rising Sign: Gemini Ascendant 0° Gemini 38'
Having Gemini Rising is like owning a universal pass key that gets you in everywhere you want to go. That's because you can adapt yourself to all different kinds of people and situations. You instinctively pick up on the prevailing mood and find a way to fit in easily. You tend to be chatty, freely expressing yourself in ways that are pleasant for others to hear. You're open to sharing your thoughts without coming across as bossy or judgmental. You've got a light touch that helps you make your point in a roundabout way, rather than producing resistance by coming on too strong. And you don't appear to be demanding, but tend to have such an outgoing friendly manner that you're welcome just about everywhere.
Motto: "Let's talk about it."
Greatest Strength: Your ability to adapt to a variety of circumstances
The reserved Rabbit is very intelligent, intuitive and in touch with nature. Generous by definition, Rabbits can also be afraid of their own power. People trust them easily and admire them, but Rabbits themselves are cautious and discreet. Everywhere they go they create peace for others … but compromise their own inner harmony with sudden mood changes and fear. Rabbits are full of heart and love to take care of the wounded body, heart and soul -- they are gentle and kind.
"To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required, not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,
it cannot save the few who are rich."
- President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

In the long history of the world,
only a few generations have been granted

What's your inner power?
Your inner power is Understanding!
Lifes many mysteries have become your ultimate goal to work out. You are neither a good or a bad person, just very neutral, very stable. You look down on nothing or anyone, merely observe their point of view and make no judgments. You can be seen as very shadowy and uncertain in what you believe in to an outsider, but this isnt always true. You simply dont flaunt your views around. You have a few, close friends who rely on you, and love you for the way your never scorn for the way they live their lives. You are very caring and would make a great parent, seeing you always try to help those who come to you for your aid. You are extremely hard to anger, and yet when you are, your forgiveness is hard to gain. You are loyal, secretive, very quiet and often impassive, with few able to break around the wall that you built to protect yourself. Not everyone acknowledges you even exist, but you dont really care. As long as you have your close friends by your side, you are good to go. Although they might not voice it, many people long to have your ability to accept change as well as what cant be changed.
Dont ever let others bring you down, because you are truly special, and those who have the courage to venture passed your walls of silence will only regret not having tried to befriend you sooner. There is a girl who will sweep you off your feet: The mysterious girl. The one who no one knows much about. You are attracted to her by the secrecy around her, and she loves how stable and unjudging you are.
Your stone/jewel: Sapphire Your power: Life. The ability to bring those who have died back to life, as well as bring life back into those who have lost all hope. Your element: Lunar

You Are a Black and White Cookie
You're often conflicted in life, and you feel pulled in two opposite directions.
When you're good, you're sweet as sugar.
And when you're bad, you're wicked!
You are the Star card. The Star is the light of hope. Shining in the night, sending light into darkness, the stars provide direction to sailors and are a field on which to dream. Humanity used to look up at the sky and desire to be there, to find out what it all meant, and now we have been a distance into space and have elementary ideas of the makeup of all the different stars. This kind of achievement adds further fuel to our hopes. The eternal, slow-moving stars that will be long shining past the end of our own existence provide hope of immortality, and the vast space they suggest and the very mystery they hold provide us with excitement and knowledge yet to be discovered.

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact.
One sees more devils than vasy hell can hold;
That is the madman. The lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt.
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven,
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives the to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
Such tricks hath strong imagination
That if it would but apprehend some joy
It comprehends some bringer of that joy
Or in the night, imagining some fear,
How easy is a bush supposed a bear !

"Words cannot fully express the devastation and horror caused by NTDs. Until now, these diseases have been hidden in the shadows, but working with the Global Network, I am focused on bringing this tragedy to the public eye."
- Alyssa Milano
HOWs & WHYs:
What would you do if wiping your child’s tears could steal your eyesight?
Eating vegetables fresh from the ground could make you anemic?
Taking a bath could damage your kidneys?
These things seem unlikely in the developed world. For 2.7 billion of the world’s poorest people, however, becoming infected with a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) IS that easy.
Because of 13 parasitic and bacterial diseases, nearly one-half of the global population is trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. Those afflicted become disfigured, disabled and stigmatized.
Adults can’t work and children can’t go to school—all because safe, effective and affordable drugs to treat or prevent these diseases simply are beyond their reach. As a result, NTDs continue to thrive and their victims become sicker and poorer.
But you can help change all that. Sign the petition
and join Sabin Vaccine Institute’s STOP NTDs campaign.
"The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have too much...it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
