Make Your Own Change

I composed a short voice montage discussing what the problem with the world is. It’s only 1 minute and 16 seconds long so just give it a listen.

Feel free to discuss your thoughts in the comments.

Maybe your boyfriend (or girlfriend) just broke up with you. Or worse, your spouse left you. You lost your job. Or your house. Trying to quit smoking is killing you.
First of all, I want to say that I am sorry about whatever it is that makes life seem completely pointless, or whatever is that makes [...]

Imagine if everyone picked up after themselves. Imagine if everyone pulled their own weight as much as they could, and helped others at every opportunity they had. Imagine a friendly community where you know the people you see at the coffee shop every day. Maybe you live in a place you can truly call a [...]
