The revolution of change begins with one!

"It is a revolutionary world we live in, and this generation at home and around the world has had thrust upon it a greater burden of responsibility than any generation that has ever lived. Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man. A young monk began the Protestant reformation; a young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth; a young woman reclaimed the territory of France; and it was ayoung Italian explorer who discovered the New World, and the 32 year-old Thomas Jefferson who [pro]claimed that "all men are created equal."

-EMK on RFK, St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, New York, 1968

Realism...

RESPECT: LISTEN. LEARN. DO.

THIS.

You need to see. And reflect. And teach. And be. And change.

No matter if you are male or female, you are part of this.  You call your girls derogatory names for fun, you laugh at rape jokes, you talk with your boys about how much hotter that girl is when she doesn't talk, or how hideous that girl is, and it's good she has some athletic skill.

YOU.  NEED.  THIS.

It's not about the NFL...it's about humans.  

It's about treating each other with respect.  

And it starts with the "small things" so that big things like this don't happen.

WE NEEDED THIS.

Thank you, Keith Olbermann, for saying it like it needed to be said.

You Don't Have to "Try"

Beautiful message from a beautiful artist WITH AND WITHOUT makeup!

You're perfect just the way you are and there is nothing you need to change.

Check out her message and her music video "Try."

Put your make up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?

Get your sexy on
Don't be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
Yooou don't have to try

Oooh
Oooh

Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards
You don't have to choose, buy it all, so they like you
Do they like you?

Wait a second,
Why should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
Yooou don't have to try

Noooo
Oooh

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
You don't have to try

Take your make up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don't you like you?
Cause I like you
