#MyFirst100Days: Join Me For A Practical Campaign to Build the World We Want Through Personal Respon
On January 20th, I begin a period I'm calling "My First 100 Days."
100 Days of my First Term as the true creator and master of my own life and actions.
100 Days of taking personal responsibility for what I can change and releasing that which I can't.
100 Days of committing to creating my own inner peace as a foundation for World Peace.
100 Days of committing to my personal wellness as a foundation for Human Wellness.
100 Days of education on any subjects on which my ignorance is holding me back.
100 Days of showing up in the practical ways that I can for the well-being of my community, my state, my country and my world.
Coincidentally, Donald J. Trump also begins his First 100 Days of his First Term as President of the United States of America on that same day. (The First100 Days of a presidency is used as a litmus test for the efficacy of a President's term.)
These First 100 Days of his Presidency will hold a lot of energetic momentum in a specific direction. (Click here to see what he's promised the American people.)
SO WILL MINE.
I would like to invite you all to join me for this campaign, and to commit, in the ways that you can and are willing, to showing up powerfully for your own wellness, your own inner peace, and for the benefit of humanity, in actionable, specific, achievable ways. "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
My hope is that if enough of us can move powerfully, in a focused way in the direction of love, peace, positivity, hope, courage and connection, that together we might offset the energetic movement that is happening in the opposite direction.
In practical terms, my goals are this:
Education:

Train in non-violent communication
Reach out to at least 10 people who share opposing views to mine and have a respectful, meaningful conversation aimed at understanding and empathy
