So today I happened upon Blake Mycoskie's blog... via email update from TOMS Shoes. Blake is the founder of TOMS and calls himself the Chief Shoe Giver. He's doing his part to change the world.
I'll reiterate what a friend said: Obama is not change, and McCain is not change. They will not single-handedly improve (or break) anything. Except maybe morale.
You and I and Mom and Neighbor and Sister and Ex-girlfriend and Fiance and Professor and Highschoolers and Add-Name-Here are who will change this country... and maybe the world.
Our generation is moving. Add a car to the train... or just hop along for the ride. But don't be the Gloomy Glens and Left-out Lucys waving goodbye from the platform. Because from our view, the platform grows small as the train pulls away and a life of waving and watching sounds kind of lame.
Hi Jess-
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for mentioning Blake and TOMS. This is a really great post, and I love how this is worded:
"Obama is not change, and McCain is not change. They will not single-handedly improve (or break) anything. Except maybe morale.
You and I and Mom and Neighbor and Sister and Ex-girlfriend and Fiance and Professor and Highschoolers and Add-Name-Here are who will change this country... and maybe the world."
So true.
Anyways, I'd love to send you a copy of our documentary to show our appreciation for sharing TOMS with your readers. Will you email me your mailing address?
Take care,
Caitlin
