I'm on my way back home from a very short but incredibly inspiring trip to Zurich. I attended the 'One Young World' events as a counselor. Not knowing what to expect, I was traveling there wondering what it was all about . I understood that 'One Young World' is a great program to inspire young people to speak out and try to make positive changes to our world. However, I did not realize how many people would attend and contribute such intelligent ideas in such a passionate way. I am truly inspired by the people in that room. The majority of them had traveled far and wide to be a part of this movement towards a more transparent and fair world. They are not just dreamers. I believe hand on heart they will do what they set out to do. I hope to join in, in what ever way I can.
With the technology we have at our finger tips today 'the powers that be' lose a lot of their ever so precious power. We can challenge their politics without permission at any point of the day from not all but most countries in the world, immediately at the click of a finger and be heard. Unfortunately, it would be correct to say the politicians whom are running the world today are making massive mistakes. Hey no one's perfect but wouldn't it serve their countries better if they opened their ears and eyes and listened to their people? The time is coming where they will have no choice but to listen and then to act. After all isn't it the people they claim to care so much about? Fact is they are under attack and they will loose if the attackers are those that I have seen in Zurich. The young minds of today, new fresh ideas, with a view to making this world ONE WORLD.
We may not always agree but we still have a responsibility to look after one another and have compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters. No matter what colour you are, what religion you follow we all bleed, sleep and eat.
It IS possible to have your say. It is a click away. Use whatever you can to be heard. Stand up and be counted. Make a video and pop it on you tube, get tweeting, get on Facebook. Whatever it takes, but please don't just read this and carry on breathing In and out aimlessly. Each and every person counts. There is power in numbers, it's easy to ignore the individual but almost impossible to ignore the masses.
Check out 'One Young World' get informed and then inform others. What a beautiful freedom we have. Never before have we had this opportunity so take the bull by the horns!!!! And go for it!

![]() | About the voice of Joss Stone Hello! I admire the vocal talent of Joss Stone, which made me become fan of her since the first album (Soul Sessions). In 2009 when she released the album Free Me! the first thing that struck me was that she was singing a lot, more than ever (great album). This week when I heard the latest release LP1, the first thing that caught my attention was the fact that she has already shown clear signs of wear vocals on most tracks (this is observed in the second track "Karma" and the beautiful "Cry Myself to Sleep "seem to have remained unfinished for lack of vocal range - the song ends without big time expected that the arrangement promises). This is worrisome because it has only 24 years. If she does not care what it is for 40 years, a time when most artists are beginning to show signs of vocal wear for years on the road (and abuse)? Taking care of the voice, as well as career is just as important. Look at Celine Dion, great example, held good until the forty years, we will wait for the next álbum. In the other hand, the (former) diva Whitney Houston looked like another artist on the last album. I wish you success and artistic long life our young diva Joss Stone!

![]() | The stars and Us Once time ago, a old man said to me... Don't fall in love with the stars... they can blind you... they can hurt you..and worse... They are so far away from you heart..and so close at same time What can i do?? I fell in love with a shinny star Love the way you talk... Love the way you inspired my soul to love you there's not just a fan affair, Sometimes,i ask to god : "Who am I , and what i have to offer... I'm not a star...i dont care about anything... I just want to find my star...just that...nothing more...." And He asked to me "you a pretty god child,you have too much love inside... strange things can happen if you really have good intentions."

True Unconditional love is what will change this world, and this is what these people are showing, the kind of love that will keep two people together, even if one of them suffered in the most appalling way.

![]() | My Imagination I wonder how amazing could be you getting people to understand that their lives and their talents are due to Jesus Christ ... I do not know but I guess it's because you're too good for to sing things ephemeral, passing empty things for people and this people to return empty to their homes as were in the Rock in Rio. But it's just my imagination. It's this ... Should be my imagination wnating you singing gospel music. Posted by 2011-10-06 08:36:16 |

![]() | Everyone is unique and gifted, If we all would realize that everyone in this world is different, and special and unique! Who r we to judge anyone. What gives us that right? Who r we to belittle or mistreat someone who's shoes that we haven't walked in? If we we just treat everyone with respect, and not judge, just love them, help them, show them digniy or a kind word, wouldn't it be just a little bit easier to have some bit of hope and peace in a persons life to help people get strength to unite?! Xox peace Joss your voice is such a beautiful gift that God has given u to be heard! Posted by 2011-09-06 20:53:41 |

![]() | Always right hey Joss! Like I said on facebook: "We need to stand up for peace in the world! We can do it, we are strong together. Politicians are humans, just like us. If they dont do it in the right way, people need to stand up (not with violence but with other movements). You inspire me girl, thank you for the nice words and for your concern about the world. Most of the famous people just shows that to win some publicity, but you dont. You are a true inspiration". :) PEACE AND LOVE FROM PORTUGAL Posted by 2011-09-06 16:36:32 |
