My daughter was sad. She told me about all of the things that were bothering her. She was very precise as far as all of the things that were bothering her. She was sad that we are a nation at war. She was sad that there was a global warming and homelessness. She was frustrated that there were certain cities she could not live in because she could not breathe the air. She asked why there were these things and many more. More importantly, she asked me what I was going to do about it.
I am sad that I do not have more to offer my daughter. I am sad that I cannot give her everything that she wants. So what are my responsibilities to her and what are your responsibilities to your children and our legacy to the future in general? I believe that we have the greatest responsibility to give them what they need.
The Waiverly Project is about just that; changing the world for my daughter and others changing the world for their children. Our children deserve a better world than the world that we had and have now. How do we do this? I tend to vibe with the idea that to focus on one thing that you are passionate about is commendable. To dedicate your life to the erradication of some negative ideal, or the implementation of some positive action is commendable. I, however, have chosen to go another route.
I think that it is important that we look at all sides of the world, so to speak. I think it is important that I look at and do what I can about well, everything. Robert Browning has said that "man's reach should exceed his graps, else what is a Heaven for?" We cannot do the work alone, nor can we do it all within one generation. The work will be ongoing and will continue for generations to come.
I think it is imperative that we at times look at the world as a whole. I think we must take on the construction of the new world with a vigor that our children deserve. I think that we have to work very hard, especially in this day and age, to provide for our children a solid world of tomorrow.
I think that everything is connected. Everything in our world is linked in some way, shape, form, and fashion and The Waiverly Project is my way of raising awareness of these links. The Waiverly Project is my way of raising awareness of the things that make this world work and raising awareness of the things that are destroying it. The Waiverly Project is my way of raising my daughter.
The Waiverly Project seeks to support non-profit organizations that help change the world in positive ways. It does this by creating special events, projects, networking, and raising awareness and funds for people and companies that are doing amazing things in amazing ways and on a personal note, learning about them. I know some amazing people and my daughter is at the top of that list.
