Today is International Nelson Mandela Day. A day not only to honor the life and work of former South African President Nelson Mandela, but to inspire others to carry on his efforts and to take responsibility for making the world a better place, one small step at a time. It is celebrated on his birthday July18th. As you all know, Mandela died last year at the age of 95. This is the first time the day the day has been celebrated since his death.
Sometimes, I like to go completely OT and reflect on things going on in the real world. I hope you don't mind. I feel really passionate about racial segregation and wholeheartedly believe in racial equality and making the world a better place.
What are your thoughts on the subject and has it affected your life and the way you live it in anyway? I know some of you are young, but I have seen some strong opinions out there when it comes to certain subjects and I wanted to give you this opportunity to weigh in.
At the very least, I hope you take a moment to reflect
how very lucky many of us are to have the freedoms we do. How thankful we should be to those who came before us and fought for all of us.
I hope we all take a moment today to pay it forward in whatever way we can.
