Around the World
Tweet
Returning home from Guatemala last week, and preparing to leave for Nicaragua on Sunday, I can't help but feel a little connection to this video. Although, obviously, I am not traveling as far or widely...But I love the music, and the idea of dancing around the world is so fun.

Not For Sale
Tweet
Freedom Sunday 2011 | Not For Sale from Not For Sale Campaign on Vimeo.
This is the awesome organization that my sister, Keturah, is working for. I'm so proud of all that she is doing there, and her words on this video are very challenging. If you haven't heard of Not For Sale, or the issue of global human trafficking, check out the video, check out the website, get informed and get active.

Columbus Public Library - Really cool message in this video too about libraries/reading/etc. This dance is also a celebration since the libraries were supported in the recent election.

One morning in Maine...
Tweet
This morning Kellye and I went out kayaking on Long Pond, on Mt. Desert Island. We rented a double kayak, and left around 9:30am. We paddled for about an hour, and then found a nice rock in between two small mountains. We got out of the boat, sat and read for awhile, and prayed for the people we care about. As we were finishing, a bald eagle flew overhead.
It was a nice moment, a peaceful morning, and a blessing to be in nature for a few hours.
Below is a short video, shot from the rock we were sitting on.

Some over-the-top satire and not-so-subtle jabs in this video. But, sadly, its all too true....

Stats and Hope: Teenage Girls in Central Ohio
Tweet
Thanks to Kara for twittering this video that presents various statistics regarding teenage girls in central Ohio, specifically Franklin county - my home. The information regarding self-image, sex, self-harm, and then (at the of the video) the gap between performance amongst teenage boys is compelling. There are many difficult challenges for young women to overcome.
I especially like the end of the video where the women state, "One girl can change the world." I believe this is true as well. The invitation is made: "Invest in the lives of young women." I believe this is an important call. I try to live it out every day as a teacher. I interact with freshmen through senior students every day, and I often reflect upon how one or two words, a comment on a paper, or a five minute conversation could impact and direct their life.
I can remember passing comments made by teachers. I can remember their disappointed looks, their lack of confidence in my ability to change the world. Honestly, I have a hard time remember those who believed in me. Perhaps it is because it's easier to remember the bad than the good. But if that is the case, all the more reason for me to try to instill dreams, hope, and confidence in young women in central Ohio.
I am so thankful for the privilege of being a teacher. I've stayed in touch with a few students that have graduated and are now two or three years out of high school. Some have young children. Some are traveling across the world. Some are still in Grove City, Ohio. Some won't finish college. Some are planning to get master's degrees.
But I'm certain that all of them have the ability to, and in fact are, changing the world.

Weinland Park Video

This video is from back in the summer, and it was edited by my friend Nick. It was a really cool day of hanging out with some high school students and really seeing their community in action. Some great speeches, music, art and food - overall, a really good day. Check out the vid.
