I lost my wallet.
Come On People, Let's be Unreasonable Here!
Here's a thought:
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in adapting the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man [& woman]."
-George Bernard Shaw
Super bowl Champ, Drew Brees teams with Marshall Faulk and Mr. Brian Bordainick to do something good for a city and a community.
Brian Bordainick started The 9th Ward Field Of Dreams to rebuild the athletics department and football stadium at Carver High in the 9th Ward in New Orleans.
Dressing Folks For Free For 20+ Years
Let's be honest folks, we can't just walk around naked. 
The New York City Clothing Bank has been around since 1986 taking donations and distributing clothing to shelters and organizations all over New York, New York specifically so that people don't have to - walk around in the nude that is!
South Africa: globalist, regionalist and striving for survival.
For those of you who don't know me personally, I received my Bachelor's Degree in International Relations and wrote my thesis on South African Foreign Policy, so this peaked my interest today:
"All South African babies under the age of one will be treated if they test HIV-positive, President Jacob Zuma has announced in a major policy overhaul."
Here's to Up-And-Coming
Amazing things are bound to happen.
Someone told me recently they are not quite clear on what it is that SG is intended to do, and well, the phrase above maybe, sort of, a little bit sums it up...
Something Good is meant to share with you, all the good that is happening, will be happening and can happen.
Women Hold Up Half the Sky
Here’s a problem that had simply never occurred to me as a major factor in the economies of developing nations: Menstruation. No need to squirm, it is a fact of life and has an effect on life for women and men.
Millions of girls and women in developing countries miss up to 50 days of school/work per year. This is a huge problem, period.
A Bit On Connecting
You may remember the blog about the hug. I've had more hugs, recently, in the form of other things, umbrellas, emergency exits, water bottles and figs. I'm re-reading, editing and realizing that I am coming up with more and more that I could add here. Ways in which I have shared with people, connected and hugged. This isn't meant to be warm and fuzzy, just know that this is about connecting, my connections, my proverbial hugs and a hope that I can inspire you to hug too.
Brian Bordainick Is Someone Good
How about this idea: “charity begins at home” someone very dear to me tells me all the time that there is plenty of good to be done here, at home. That I should look into that, do some of that, get into that. So here’s something good, close to home, in the country I call home at least...
I'm Full
The feast, as mentioned in my last blog, went above and beyond my expectations, and here's why: Being in the beginning stages of a start up social business like Something Good is terrifying, especially when trying to go it alone. I have no idea what I am doing. I hit the ground running about a year ago only to scrape my knees, brush myself off and discover that the finish line is an undefined concept that I can't Google or Wiki or otherwise lazily discover. Not only that, but i can't even see the finish line.
