I am so happy to have met Rob Bruce and all others involved with Be The Change Chicago! He and I have the same intentions with our websites, postings and daily life interactions. Here is their website. I feel honored to be a teeny tiny part of their most recent video.
Check it out above and follow them on Instagram, Facebook and get in touch with Rob rob@bethechangechicago.org
if you want to know more or be involved.
THEIR MISSION:
Mission
Be The Change Chicago’s main focus is to advocate for Chicagoland organizations through events and fundraising. We join together with professionals and our community to create social awareness and positivity. By being a catalyst for change, we promote various causes and empower others.
People. People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your life, touch it with love or carelessness and move on. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever came into contact with them. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole. Children leave parents, parent leave friends. Acquaintances move on. Friends love and move on. You think of the many who have moved into your hazy memory. You look on those present and wonder.
I believe this is all part of a master plan. People move in and out of our lives, and each leaves his mark on the other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you.
So far this is who I know that I am...
PS
I am a Spanish teacher (lucky enough to teach grade K-8!) living in the Chicago area. I am a yoga alliance registered and certified yoga instructor. I am pursuing MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) certification and simply happy to be alive to write this and share with others.
