About the blog:  Kinda Sassy

This blog has three goals.

To Challenge you to think differently, act differently and expect differently.

To Change the way you view yourself, your life and your place in the world.

To Connect with people who are exactly as you are, making us a community of people determined to leave the world a better place than it was when they came to it.

So there is only one question to ask. Are you brave enough to admit it? Are you ready to take a stand and do things a little differently? Are you Kinda Sassy?

I’m not new to this blogging gig. Since 2001 I’ve been writing a personal blog at a major site; eight years worth of work is there as record of my life. But this time I’ve come into a blog with a fresh perspective. This blog isn’t to keep family and friends around the world updated as to the goings on of my family in my little corner of the universe – although I will share that here too. No, this blog is to dare people who are just like me; people who are full of spirit, have a bit of gumption and have a right royal attitude. In short, this blog will feel comfortable to people who are Kinda Sassy.

People who identify with Kinda Sassy are desperate to make a difference in the world, yet are not entirely convinced that they can do it. After all, they feel like they are just one voice calling out for change. But my imagination has me thinking that if a whole lot of people who have a sassy attitude about them got together and formed campaigns to change the world we really could make a huge difference. But that’s the sassy in me talking.

Because what would happen if we all wrote letters on behalf of one person on the Amnesty International list? Could we be responsible for setting someone being imprisoned unfairly free?

What would happen if we challenged companies regarding the ecological practises of the development and processing of their goods? What if we picked just one company and challenged them constantly to change their packaging methods so there was less land fill clogging up the earth?

What if we all changed one light bulb in our homes to the long life ones took shorter showers, caught public transport one day a week? Could we make a difference to our power consumption, the ecological footprint we leave on the planet, and our bills?

What if we donated one dollar a piece and each fed four children a meal today? Imagine our spare change (not even enough for a cup of coffee in our society) could save a child in the third world from starving to death.

These are the things that we can do. And more I’m sure.

Come on… you know you want to.

Come and be Kinda Sassy with me.
