I\u2019ll definitely take a look at the article. I just gave it a cursory look, but I need to finish a couple of emails before I can dive into it some more.<\/p>\n
Thank you so much for your kind words. Although in truth (and I swear not out of a faux sense of humility), there are better writers and people who are better equipped to deal with these issues than me. Generally speaking, I am clumsy, too emotional and not that good dealing with these topics. I have no academic credentials to analyze these issues. I am, first and foremost, a marketeer! And an activist. And to add another layer of inadequacy, English is not even my (supposedly) native language. Which is a whole other set of problems as I no longer feel I have a native language. I can hardly write in Spanish anymore (it takes me twice as long than it does when I write in English); I know all too well (mostly after the fact, when I re-read something I wrote) that I make some cringe inducing grammar and spelling mistakes. And more often than not, all my posts are written in a rush, without much after thought. My only goal, if I have one (which is another story) with this blog is to encourage a different way of thinking, of looking at things, of perceiving our surroundings, if you will. I know all too well nobody will completely change their minds from reading my (again) poorly articulated rants. But I sincerely hope that those who haven\u2019t yet made up theirs, or completely considered a position yet, might be encouraged to do so from another perspective.<\/p>\n
My world is like a prism. And depending on where you are standing, you will see a different facet of it. If I can, for a moment, encourage people to look at those facets that might not be apparent from where they are standing, then I consider these poor attempts at reaching out a success. Nobody has to agree with me, but I think we are all better people from exercising a fair amount of empathy.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s all I wish for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
