journal #6
In the Harlem-town section of the book, Bessie and Sadie tell many stories about what life was life for them as young adults - they tell about their college days, the friends they made and people they met, and the incidents they had as black women in a white world.
At one point in chapter 18, Sadie says that she had to decide if she was going to change the world or just change herself. Have you ever had this feeling? What would you change about yourself if you could? What about the world - how would you change the world?
Sit for a few moments and think about the prompt. Now write write write and then post your comments.

talking about change, makes me think of NLP ( Neuro-Linguistic Programming). I had studied and awarded a diploma in NLP. This NLP is kind of a new science that has based most of its basics on studies made on human behaviors in several situations. NLP tends to help people to change or precisely improve their personalities by putting an IDEAL personality in thier mind, and try to adjust their current behavior to what that ideal person would do. NLP opens the limit for choosing your ideal person, so everyone may have a different ideal person that others'. Also, NLP helps one person to unleash the power within! or that's what claims it does {grin} yeah, it does tend to do that, but it is not a gurnteed success with everyone since strong beliefs are different from one to another and it is hard to change them on the same scale, as it is hard to explain a mathmatic formula to all students in one class at the same time. To change the world, i have to start with my self, then the close family and friend, then the family expands the change to their close family and friends.. and so on till the socity, then the town, the city, the region, the country, the world.. all have changed !
this topic is very open and i can talk for ages about change, and relate it to harmony and creativity.
