Letter from the Editor... The Evolution of a Revolution There have been countless revolutions over the dawn of time. From when the very first heartbeat sparked somewhere in the cosmos to the Woman Suffragist parade in 1913. Martin Luther King uttered words of change and Obama promised to deliver a new America. Revolutions are everywhere. Always evolving and ever changing. The evolution of a revolution has been catapulted with the embarking sunrise of social media. We have only begun to tap into the hearts and minds that we can capture with a moving current of change. We have only begun to tap into the power of reaching billions from behind a keyboard. We are no longer silenced as a nobody. When the need to for change arises, we have an audience of billions. It is your soul calling to speak loud enough and long enough for those to hear. It catches like wildfire and soon we are connected to a revolution of change on all corners of the globe. Time is no longer relevant. It’s simply a matter of now. I am amazed daily at the power of the written word. I am also lost in the abundance dai- ly of people who still doubt the power they have to reach people from their corner of the world. You are stronger than you think. Your voice travels greater distances than you can even imagine. When my day consists of connecting with a women in Australia and then an- other in Spain, we have reached a dawn of communication far greater than we can even imagine. You are no longer alone with your cause. There are billions waiting for your rally cry to join you. Stop thinking your cause is too small or unattainable. Your job is to stand longer and brighter than those around you. Many will fall victim to the mentality of not moving fast enough or the distorted thinking that their voice isn’t loud enough. You are different. You are a lighthouse here to shine for all those who need safe passage. You are the spark of a revolution. We no longer are forced into poverty due to lack of op- portunity. The opportunities are literally falling from the sky. Merely direct your gaze 3
