It's -14c outside tonight. I'm warm in my home, my belly is full, and I am sipping on a glass of wine. Christmas is a time with family and friends. It is a time of happiness and bounty. A time of joy. Why am I sad?
The world is going thru a lot of turmoil right now, and Mother Nature is not happy with its inhabitants. Raging fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, flash floods, extreme drought......it is all happening. This concerns me, but what really saddens and concerns me are the following stats:
795 million people are starving every day
2.1 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water
100 million people are homeless and 1.6 billion people do not have adequate shelter
100 million kids are homeless
We need to help change these stats. I made a donation from my art show in November, but it is not enough. I need to look at my lifestyle and see how else I can help others.
This Christmas, I wish you and yours the best. My only gift for Christmas is that we all help humankind in any way we can.
