Yesterday, on my walks, in group and individual therapy, at meetings, at a town hall, and at my son’s school, I witnessed many people doing their best changing their worlds.
Here’s how I changed my own world, by capturing words and worlds on my iPhone camera:
What helps me change my personal world includes:
- patience,
- passion, and
- belief in the world’s capacity to change.
Here’s some world-changing music:
If that live version of “Change the World” by Eric Clapton isn’t changing your world right now, you can find it in The World of YouTube.
How would you change your world?
A world of thanks to gloves, love, Fenway Park statues, honesty, trust, people who heal individually and in groups, tea, Christiane Corcelle, the Fab Four, my son’s school, Eric Clapton, world-changers everywhere, and — of course! — to you, for changing my world, today.
Thank you so much Ann – these are all so good to see.
❤️Patience, passion and belief we can.❤️
It lifts my heart 🙂
… what is that brown paper filter like thingy?…
You lift my heart, Val, and so do art and tea!
I see now …. teabags!!!
Yes!
Sometimes it can be as simple as sharing a smile

More great changes!
Ann, your shadow photography is getting better each day; I just love that image of the shadow today. I came up with: “Changing the “Hasty” World”, as acting too quickly may get us in trouble, or get into unnecessary accidents; although the world runs in a ‘hasty’ manner, one can improve one’s planning skills so it doesn’t seem at least that ‘hasty’ anyway. Does it make sense?
I just love this comment and the wonderful ways you change the world, Maria.
I have spent my life working for change in the world.
I thought for some time about the letters that should go in the blanks before “world” and hasty is good. Working on finding others, though.
Thank you, Emilie, for being a life-long world changer.
Nice message as always. There was a Cheryl Crow song that says a Change will do you good too.
Nice reply, Alex! Thanks for changing the world of this post for the better.
Forgive me if you get this comment twice, your page timed out when I tried the first time. I love Eric Clapton and for the life of me I can’t figure out why he hasn’t searched me out and proposed marriage! Keep on changing the world Ann – we need you! <3

I would have been happy to see this comment twice, Diana! The world needs you, too. <3
Great post. Informative (especially about the art of tea bags) and inspiring. My biggest challenge is my inner world. So I’d have to say I can change my world by changing my inner world. Which demands more than I sometimes want to give: honesty, transparency, risks, and more practice than I’d like to admit.

Many thanks, Elouise. I agree that changing one’s inner world has an effect on the outer world and that it takes a lot of work, too. My best wishes to you, in this quest.
Thank you, Ann.
I love the school art. Kids are so much better than they’re given credit for.
I love and give credit to this comment, Claudia.
Sometimes I just want to listen, Ann.

I hear you, Mark (and Bowie, too).

That shadow photo got to me.
Your writing gets to me, Julie!
