Wow. If you ever question how much of a difference you are actually making in the world...

[Alison Cohen]

then spend the next two minutes (only two minutes!) watching this AWESOME, memorable piece. I LOVE IT!

For folks who have not heard of Wangari Muta Maathai (1 April 1940 – 25 September 2011) she was a Kenyan environmental and political activist and in 2004, she became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for "her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace."

Be well and keep being inspiring,
Alison

"There is plenty of work for love to do."

~Trevor Mwamba, a fictional character from the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series

 

~Everyone should have two pockets, each containing a slip of paper. On one should be written "I am but dust and ashes," and on the other "the world was created for me."  From time to time we must reach into one pocket, or the other. The secret of living comes from knowing when to reach into each.
