  Water changes everything

  It’s amazing to think that some people around the world would trade whatever treasures they possess for some clean drinking water. But for most of us, the thought of not having drinking water readily available would be almost too farfetched to fathom. We even go as far as paying $4 for a bottle of water that most possibly originated from the same tap we use to water our gardens. Fact of the matter is, there are people who are starving and people who have never tasted a drop of non-polluted water – this is a reality that we believe is unacceptable and one that needs to change.

  As people, when we stare into the face of a problem so wide spread and ginormous in scale most would tend to shy away and say that these problems are above them. Imagine if we put all of these people on a plane and told them to give one bottle of water to each thirst-stricken mother, father or child; the problem would almost not exist. And that is what the great people at charity:water are doing. They are facing the problem and saying that they can make a difference and they can be the pioneers and catalyst to change world for the better.

  So how is the team at stinkythepig involved? And what are we doing about it? We have donated some of our merchandise to the cause. A friend of ours is hosting an event where our merchandise will be auctioned off with all of the proceeds going to this worthy cause. We look forward to attending the event and showing you more of what took place. In the meantime, please take the time to visit the webpage of charity:water and see what they have been up to.

  Some things never change

  As far as the wind was concerned, it didn’t really have any regard towards the feelings of others. For those who feared the cold, it would howl and hiss and puff. There were others who liked the wind and they welcomed the gust that graced their skin. Others were indifferent whereby loving it or loathing it were things that never even crossed their minds. But no matter who you were, and whether your felt or heard or saw the wind, it remains constant – it will always exist.

  The sun was no different. It had no enemies because whether living or inanimate, there wasn’t anything that could ever best its fervor to remain hot. Ever unchanging to the whims of others, the sun remained what it was meant to be and that was to be a never ending source of light and heat. There are all sorts of different people who choose to live life the way they know best. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re a criminal or gangster, mother, father, sister, friend, teacher, hero, loser or winner because whichever life is chosen the sun will still shine on you. It will not discriminate based on size, colour, wealth or power because this ever unchanging provider is a lover of all beings.

  So what do you get when you combine the wind and the sun?

  HOPE.

  Too often than not, trouble seems to find its way into everyone’s life. And although it is something that is relative to each individual’s circumstances, the feelings experienced are real. Sorrow. Torment. Displaced. There would be some that say hope does not exist or hope has let them down. But contrary to what most may think during times spent at the bottom of the sea, hope is ever-present and unchanged – it exists.

  Hope is also something that does not discriminate. It opens itself to everyone so long as they are willing to let it in. It cannot be defeated because hope, in the end, always triumphs. It comes in all shapes and sizes and usually engulfs you when you least expect it. It could be a hug from a stranger, a phone call from an old friend, a rekindling of a past flame or a simple smile. Regardless of what it is, it is powerful and warm and precious.

  Something to think about…
