Hi Nate! Found you at Lance's and what a GIFT he gave when he featured you! I just love the sandcastle metaphor for life. Yes, sometimes the world makes watered down poop of our efforts, but that human spirit, wow, look out, eh? As you said, many will fold up their tents and go home – but it's the few (like yourself) who are undaunted and keep building, keep inspiring others to build, that really truly are needed – and needed NOW – to spread the word that one by one, we CAN make a difference! You are a treasure!
Hugs,
suZen

It's funny to think about everything that we accomplish eventually disappearing. There is beauty in still going out and changing the world though. If we can help people grow into happier people, the world is better now. That's all that matters.

Stopped by because of Lance's interview. I'm glad I did.

Happy Birthday, ISWU! -Throws confetti- =D

So it's a little late, but better late than never, right? How exciting, ISWU has been active for a full year! And what an accomplishment to look back upon, for you especially, Nate; without you, none of this would have happened =) Thanks for taking the initiative and getting your idea out there, despite all the worries that usually hold people back: “What if it doesn't work? What if I can't keep up with it? What if drama starts? What if…?” You're an inspiration in that sense, among many; I'm sure many of us could take a leaf out of your book and get started on our dreams and ideas, rather than letting 'what ifs' prevent us from pursuing what could turn out to be an amazing result ^.^ Thank you!
