Shut Up and Walk

All I wanted to do today was rest. Thank you chair.

Shut Up and Walk: Shut Up and Walk? What is that? It’s a call to action! In so many ways I am grateful for the new community emerging as a result of electronic communication. I have developed closer relationships with friends, I find out about more social events and I have never been more informed on important issues. What an amazing tool to spread ideas and information! Sadly, through my observations from facebook, I have noticed that we are far too guilty of being passive supporters of causes. I really became aware of it while I campaigned to raise money for leukemia. People were “liking” my donations link but not donating anything. I started to notice that is kind of passive response is all too common. It replaces action. Shut Up and Walk , urges us to put well-meaning intentions into DOING something. I am going to Shut Up and Walk .
