Its funny how things happen, the Blanket Bunch met the other night and there was another group meeting at the same location, well when the meetings got out people started asking about the afghans and making comments about how beautiful they are, we told them about donating them to the homeless. The next morning I received an email from a man that saw the afghans and was very impressed. He wrote to a friend at the local newspaper who was looking to do a story on peace activism...I never thought of us as peace activists. I thought wow is this how a movement is started? Then I thought Yes this is how a movement is started. So I wrote to a few editors in hopes that the word gets spread. Then I wrote to a few local papers that carry calendars about happening and I thought I should put notices in about our monthly meeting. I have been thinking that we need more people to get involved and so I need to step it up a little bite to make that happen. See things don't happen by themselves. We need to ring our own bells. Stand up to get noticed. You need to make things happen for yourself its not just fate its action that will get things done. Sometimes fate comes knocking but you need to answer the door and let it in to take advantage of it. So I'm opening the door wide and I'm standing up and I'm saying LETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND LETS INVITE EVERYBODY TO JOIN IN. If you want to start your own group go to www.warmupamerica.org
