My radio show - if I had one - Thanksgiving 2017 musings...
I promised to post this today. my show.... What would I call it? The funny name club show? Sassy seniors with long hair? Snak-l-frok !
But it is not like that - my name means light and if I had a show it would be to bring light into a dark place - many dark places. Confront dilemmas and mysteries and get them solved.
My housekeeper said "you really get things done" - and there is that feeling of a doing a thing for the world - but I want to focus on things my Normal Rockwell Childhood brought to table for action - then tabled and never done.
I think "Occupant Safety & Escape Technology" for planes and tall buildings would lead my campaigns - for years death from their failure has NOT been necessary, but no one is making them do it. In fact, I'd put it away, then forgot it - parents' orders. Then on NINELEVEN, I literally had to grab the counter to NOT fall down, when the memory found me and stunned me. NO ONE needed to die that day. NO ONE. If the escape tech had been done on time, two things, in fact would have happened: if attacked occupants could safely leave the plane or building FAST - super fast. But with such tech in place, terrorists may have skipped it for an idea, since there would be so few victims.
On my show, I could invite the dozens of contacts whose job it was to make and use the Technology but who could not or would not. I would talk with them to see what it would take to win the breakthrough.
This is a priority topic: lives depend on it and I am still a good redcrosslady. But I do have a list of topics I would share from my own experience and observation - I will add them here or linked.
We have so much for which to give Thanks! BECAUSE we got things done, leaping to meet opportunities and win through obstacles - and no other reason!
