well you may be aware that I have alot of things on my mind right now. My plans have become my unplans, and my focus has shifted for the moment. I’ll keep you informed of my whereabouts in due time. For now, I want to share one of the things at the forefront of my mind: I have been receiving many messages over the past few weeks… and I won’t pretend it’s not a little bit exciting to get an email from Richard Gere in my inbox. But I know it’s only because we just happen to share a common interest in humanity…<\/p>\n

Today, being the eve of the Olympics, I will be starting another series of posts about Tibet<\/a> and China for the duration of The Games in Beijing. I love both these countries for the positive attributes they offer the world. And I will be showcasing some of the things that I love about them and how they inspire me. <\/p>\n

Starting with this message from my friend Dorji Dolma la in Sydney, with thanks to the ATC<\/a> and Get Up Australia<\/a> – two associations that have worked tirelessly to bring awareness to the plight of the Tibetans. Please watch and listen to her message and remember, humanity needs Tibet<\/a>. <\/p>\n
