Inspiration...

Everyone needs a little inspiration sometimes...I know I do. Well, a week or so ago a fellow IVHQ volunteer, Jaklin, posted a video on her facebook page that was just that, inspiring. It is about a 12 year old girl, Severn Suzuki, who gave a speech at a UN conference back in 1992. I don't know what you were doing when you were 12, but I was probably too busy packing for a sleepover or applying lipsmacker to even really think about the world around me let alone write a speech and gather enough courage to read it in front of the world's leaders. Thankfully, I grew up and now try (emphasis on try) to appreciate everything I have. And, hopefully I can do my best to use my voice to let others know what is really going on around us. Watch this and be inspired. :)

Peace&love,
