Six Degrees of Carlos Santana - Or Kevin Bacon, for that matter

[Betsy S. Franz]

Most of us have heard of the Six Degrees of Separation theory: That each person is no more than six steps away from each person on earth. Well, I've decided to test that theory to find celebs to help endorse my idea, which is to encourage each citizen of the planet to Take Care of Their Share
My goal, for the remainder of the month, is to post blogs, send letters and do whatever it takes to find someone who knows someone who IS a someone who will endorse what I am doing. By endorse, all I mean is a message, a soundfile, a snippet from a letter that says they encourage the concept for each individual to learn to Take Care of Their Share.

So if you know anybody who knows anybody who knows a "somebody", see what they think of the idea to encourage everyone to Take Care of Their Share.

I believe that once I get ONE strong endorsement, others will follow.

People are sometimes sheep, but there is nothing wrong with that if they are following the right shepherds. Who will be the shepherds? Who will help me to encourage others to Take Care of Their Share?

I'll be happy to add my intent to yours. I believe you can meet anyone if you intend to draw them into your life. Then you just need to keep an open mind so you recognize your intent when it boomerangs back to you.
Love, Erin

The mirror effect.
Everyone sees what we do. So what is the side that we're showing? If someone for example starts something positive and keeps doing it no matter what the others tell. Just the one step following the other, little by little. And now the others will notice - this is "really happening?! Is it possible to fallow the dream of the heart?! No matter how big or small it seams to be. Then they will start to wonder, maybe it would be possible to do something equally as wonderful?.. And you'll see - they try it too..! Then they will succeed! Oh, wow! What will be if all these people who fallowed the dreams joined together for a greater dream..? Oh, is it possible? Step by step, little by little... It's happening already???
We all have the dreams, we know how to make them happen, so who started it? Does it matter? We can always have the greater dream, but we all must fallow the small dreams of our hearts, that WE CAN MAKE HAPPEN FOR REAL! WE CAN START NOW.
My mother had a dream, more than forty years ago she moved to this place our whole family lives now. There was the strong wind blowing around the house, now you won't see the house in the middle of the trees. There was very little soil, here. The hundreds of lorryloads of the soil have been moved here to get something to grow. We have a closest neighbor, who bought the land at the about the same time. Most of the time just collected the stuff, he did nothing with... But he is a nice and caring person, 71 years old now and still goes running every morning. He also helps many others and his children, who don't live here. In the last years he has started to clean his share and planted a few trees. He sold most of his share and now it is divided to pieces and there are the houses close to our land. There were three firs my mother planted to the place where was the village road before. They are still growing and the new neighbors decorated them outside for the Christmas. It is great to see, when the people care. I love my neighbor, I was talking about, too. If he could love himself the way he loves and helps the others... I love everyone (including me), just did not know it for until about a year ago. It is possible.
I've had many dreams in my heart. Some of them have became real, some have not. Sometimes it feels that I dream to much... Sometimes I see that "too much" can become real, too. Sometimes I break it all back down for the new dream. But still stupid enough to fallow the heart to start with the new one.
Now I have a dream to bring the cosmical harmony to this planet, just don't know how long it takes and what are all those things that I could do for it. But I've seen all the stars moving in the sky, in the beginning of this year. I saw it for three times, it was hard to believe it! I don't know what it all means, but I do know what I was dreaming and asking..! And I was asking all kinds of help I could imagine, too. I ask, what my heard asks from me... I can dream big! But I can do so little, that's how it is. There's just one answer to the question about what can be done, that I've got. It needs all the people involved to thinking how to make the change for the better. It starts changing when majority of the people will notice the need for the change and keeps focused on it. The changes come from inside of our hearts.
I just take it for today and see what I can do with it. These are the smallest things that I CAN DO. That's what keeps me happy. But I can dream big. That's why we're here, to share the dreams.
Give the love - it mirrors all around you. Love is something we can give, but we still have it, just can't be given away.
I love you all, that is the truth for me.
I love the picture upon this page, that's the part of our share.
Love and harmony for you and thank you so much. I do care.

Hi Betsy, What a great Idea! Sometimes the sheep might have to lead.

[Betsy S. Franz]

I love that! The sheep might have to lead!!

[David Kam]

Hi Betsy... A great idea, but I think it should be expanded beyond the USA. I live in Canada.

You idea is in line with the EARTHSHIP Summit that we are organizing. We hope this will be the "world's largest event for environmental and social change", which will bring 300 million people together worldwide to save planet earth and humanity.

Hi David. I did recently edit the webpages to include the entire planet! I might have missed some references to the U.S. but there were many more visitors to the site from other countries. Perhaps the members of the other countries are going to be have to be the ones to help lead the U.S.

[Erin Michelle]

Hi! Betsy,
If the sheep might have to lead, doesn't that make you the Lead Sheep? Show us the way with examples.
Love, Erin

[Betsy S. Franz]

Hi Erin. What do you want an example of? The letters or blog posts that I am sending out? So far, I have only gotten one response from a writer I like. He said he likes Take Care of Your Share but he can't attach his name to any particular projects. At least he answered. Everyone else has just ignored me. But I keep trying!

[Erin Michelle]

I was hoping for examples of people who have acheived the goal. When I page through the website there is an overwhelming amount of information. Personally, I do what I can and the Medford community is fairly advanced in environmental responsibility. We get spurred along by Ashland, a few towns over, and it creates a little healthy competition. I'm not sure how much of the community is my share to care for and it's a big planet. I could never do enough. I'd be greatly encouraged to hear from people who have determined what their share is and then it might break such a huge project into a blueprint for success. Thank you for all your hard work.
Love, Erin
