Seeking direction and taking action
I have been licking my wounds for a while now. I was in a very difficult situation. I am still extracting myself from it but at least today, I find that I am seeing past my own pain and thinking about what is next. Mairead Corrigan Mcguire’s speech has inspired me.
I am now in a unique position to make all kinds of decisions. My life is, for now, fairly flexible. I want to figure out how I can direct my energies towards making a positive contribution to the world around me and in the process, support myself and my kids. I am sure there is a way.
There is an organization in the Lehigh Valley called the Alliance for Sustainable Communities. They provide a great network for individuals and organizations in the area who are working towards sustainability. There are folks who focus on the environment, on peace, on sustainable farming, education, alternative energy sources. The list goes on. I haven’t gone to one of their meetings in a long time. I am going to try to make the next steering committee meeting.
I know that there are a lot of other people who are thinking along this line. It’s just hard, somehow, to take the first step. It’s time to go from thought into action.

This comment is in response to one which I later unapproved. It seemed to be mechanically generated. I later found out that such comments can lead back to “badware” which can harm your computer.
Hello Friend.
I followed the web site that you entered when you left the comment and found that you have a blog in Korea which seems talk about sustainable farming, although I can’t decipher much. It looks like it is both in Korean and Spanish.
I would love it if you could share a little with me about what your goals are.

Thanks, Sophia.
Actually I am a member of that organization. I joined last September. Since you left this comment I went back to it and found a few people who are members here in my area and left them messages to contact me if they want. Thanks for reminding me of this.
