This incredible collection of moments represents the joy, innocence, despair, curiosity, and undying perseverance within all of us. No matter where we’re from, these are the emotions that unite us – it’s what makes us human. We set out to capture this spirit in 60 incredible photographs, and I truly hope you enjoy.

No bush v Gore = no 8/6/01 PDB and a legally elected President Gore would have done
something after getting that warning and we would have had no 9/11 and with no 9/11
we would have had no unneeded war in Afghanistan or Iraq.

The pictures on this post and in the following link do make me feel reflective at how short a time span we all live on this earth almost 100 percent will never be remembered past the 2nd generation.

I hope someday that there will be no wars, all will have enough food and a safe, warm and dry place to call their own and our mother earth is not destroyed by pollution and climate change.

Peace and Love

This one:

I hope this woman also hears this:

That speech should be attached to every "beauty" magazine and product - and the message in it is not just for women of color, Every woman should take it to heart.
