Thought I'd share a fun bit of news with everyone. Today at 1pm EST, 1525 schools across Canada will be participating in singing the same song at the same time. Most will be going outdoors to sing their song also. My two younger children only go to school in the mornings but we were encouraged to bring the children back to let them join in. So it's a picnic at the park and then joining in with hundreds of children right across a nation.
I guess sometimes it takes the smallest of souls to show us that perhaps unity can be accomplished and by working together we can do great things. I know this seems small in comparison to many other causes that are out there... but what a great example these children are showing us adults. So why not follow their example and get out there and join up or start something that can be shared with a nation or nations. Go for it. The time is now!

It was a song that was written specifically for this day to be used by all the schools. Last year the number of schools who participated was 1400.. this year they hit a new high of 1525. The day/event was started to show support for music appreciation across the country here.
I guess part of what I wanted people to think about were also the various events across the nations and internationally that bring light to various causes or topics in the world today. For example; Cancer walks, Unitied Way, International Youth Day, Habitate for Humanity, and so on. There is so much that we can do and help with simply by giving a bit of our precious time and energy. And with time it's amazing how well the word gets out and people become educated and involved in helping their community and their world.
