BEWARE: ACTIONS controlled by FEAR!

When you "look the other way", that is fear controlling your actions.  

When you take action, 
there is authentic inner peace 
in knowing you became involved 
for the purpose 
of the best most possible outcome.

~Kim Franklin-Magana

You can take action right now by simply 
re-tweeting this to everyone you know 
and asking them to do the same.
Awareness is the KEY.

A Single Soul...

Friendship...

perspective in action!

Day By Day!

"He who is silent is forgotten; he who abstains is taken at his word; he who does not advance, falls back; he who stops is overwhelmed, distanced, crushed; he who ceases to grow greater becomes smaller; he who leaves off, gives up; the stationary condition is the beginning of the end—it is the terrible symptom which precedes death. To live, is to achieve a perpetual triumph: it is to assert one's self against destruction, against sickness, against the annulling and dispersion of one's physical and moral being. It is to will without ceasing, or rather to refresh one's will day by day."

~Henri-Frédéric Amiel
