We Day!

Me to We

Nov. 27, 2011

This past week in Winnipeg 16,000 school aged children from around Manitoba packed the MTS centre for “We Day,” which is designed to inspire and celebrate the youth movement for global change.

My 13-year-old daughter was fortunate enough to be one of those 16,000 children and experience an event that I hope will impact her life and way of thinking in a positive way for years to come.

I asked her to write a couple of paragraphs on her thoughts about We Day to share with our Happy Monkeys. Here is what she wrote:

We Day

We Day really was a once in a life time experience. Never again will I have the chance to listen to such positive and inspiring people.  I never knew how much someone could lose and still stay positive. There are people in this world who have lost a best friend or half their body. These people don’t live their life wishing they had their old life back, instead they love life and they still try to do as much as they can. They never gave up; they wanted to be the best they could be!

At We Day I also learned that people in other countries around the world really don’t have a whole lot. We are really spoiled and we should be thankful for what we have.

We can make a difference in this world no matter who we are. There are no negative words in this world, just negative people, we want to block out those negative people. We can do anything we set our minds to! It may not be easy but we CAN do it. No matter how old you are or how young we can make a difference in this world and we have to start today!

The energy created that day needs to be shared not only with the youth but with all ages. Happy Monkey Club’s goal is to continue to spread the message of positive thoughts and giving back to make a difference today and in the future.

I invite you to join us.
