Small steps towards making a big change.

We live in such a complicated world – a place with so much beauty and art and if we are lucky our world is also a place filled with loving and kind people.

Then there is the stuff we don’t like to talk about – the stuff that is better swept under a rug and forgotten…at least until that pile under the rug becomes too big to ignore.
I’ve recently been lucky enough to hear this talk from a woman that is trying to make a change in our world. Sunitha Krishnan is a strong woman who is lifting back the rug and exposing all the stuff we really don’t like to talk about.

Warning - due to what is discussed this isn't a easy message to watch - but, it's worth it.
note: if you have a hard time understanding her accent - you can turn on English subtitles.
Once you listen to this talk and if you feel compelled to make a change – pass her message on or check out this organization http://www.gems-girls.org/ and see what you can do to make a difference.

We all have a voice in this great big beautiful complicated world – won’t you let yours be heard?
