All in the same boat...

By Vichara

If there is at least one reward or getting up in the morning is that you have been given another opportunity to make a difference. Sounds a little overwhelming? Making a difference can be achieved in the small ways as well. Move from your home lair wit the cognizant intent to recognize an opportunity to help someone else today. Maybe open a door. Maybe just a smile and hello. Maybe just a sign that you recognize that the other person in front of you is another passenger on the big ol boat called earth. Since we are, as they say, in the same boat let’s try to help each other out…for the good of the voyage.

mau-mau • \MOW-mow (the "ow" is as in "cow")\ • verb
1 : to intimidate (as an official) by hostile confrontation or threats

Did you know?
The Mau Mau was a militant secret society that operated in colonial Kenya during the 1950s. The ferocity with which Mau Mau terrorists rebelled against British rule was well-documented by national news sources, like Newsweek and Time, and by 1970 "Mau Mau" had become synonymous with "hostile intimidation," especially when used for social or political gain. Novelist Tom Wolfe was the first to use "mau-mau" in print as a word for "intimidate."
