Together People Make a Difference

Since it's Master Mind Monday and Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, it seems only fitting that I write a little bit about how I think Master Minding can change the world. After many years of being a counselor and college instructor, I have met 1,000's of people on an up-close and personal basis.  I have met MANY amazing people who deeply desire to make a difference in this world.  But they don't, because the inner critic stops them or fear stops them or they just don't know where to get started. It can be extremely overwhelming to take on a significant life change alone but with the support of others, it's easy...even joyful.  You can create this kind of support in your life by starting a Master Mind group. This short audio will help you to ponder how much of a difference you can make in your life and the life's of others by utilizing the principle of the Master Mind.

Roller Derby Skaters Lead Skate Clinic for Children of the Night

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
On Sunday May 2nd, the L.A. Derby Dolls, Southern California’s premiere all-female, banked track roller derby league, will lead a skating clinic for the Children of the Night as part of the Big Sunday, the annual volunteer weekend that takes place across Southern California. Children of the Night is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and empowering children who have been forced into prostitution. This is the second year that they have worked with L.A. Derby Dolls on Big Sunday. After skating, community service is the most important thing that the L.A. Derby Dolls do. The Dolls have worked with the Human Rights Campaign, St. Vincent Medical Center (for a women’s health and wellness clinic), After School All Stars, and M.E.N.D, among many other projects, and were honored in 2009 as a Treasure of Los Angeles by the Central City Association (an honor that puts the Dolls in the company of the L.A. Dodgers and Magic Johnson). Big Sunday is an annual weekend that takes place in the spring when thousands of people from Southern California, of all ages and all backgrounds, work together at hundreds of nonprofits, schools and other agencies that need their help. Big Sunday Weekend is one of the largest regional community service events in America.
