I Choose To Act

You get to a point doing the Blogathon where it’s not about creativity anymore, but about endurance. “All I have to do is make it through another two hours, and I’m home free. Five more posts. And that’s it.”

I keep thinking about the Hello Win Column Fund. (Remember that? We’re doing this for charity! Wow!) Pledges are down from last year — and I do understand things are not the best for people economically these days. I just hope that you take time to give something to the cause that speaks the loudest to your heart.

I said this last year, and I still believe it to this day: the three hundred people around the world who took a day out of their lives to sit in front of a computer and post everything imagineable under the sun to make a difference in their world are heroes in every sense of the word. They hear people say that you can’t change the world, that the problem is just too big, and they refuse to believe it.

This is why I beat myself up for Blogathon year after year. I want to make a difference in the world. I refuse to let the status quo remain in place. I choose to act.
