A "Black Swan Event" is when the unexpected occurs, causing a huge mindshift and change in how the world works. People never imagined that Black Swans existed, until the discovery of the first Black Swan... (as per book "The Black Swan", by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, 2007, that sold over 3 million copies)

Is a perception change the next Black Swan Event? Consider that by changing perception we might change the world. Look at everyday things from different angles. Find beauty in the unexpected...
Change our thinking, change our actions, change our world!

See that all people are part of God's puzzle and have something to give. Black swans do exist. The ugly duckling was actually a swan who needed to discover himself and where he fitted and be who he was meant to be. To the last, the lost and the least, you are beautiful as you are.
May all who visit this page feel God's touch and experience His blessing...

Stopping Before You Have Even Started

Imagine, for example, you are delighted as you finally have an amazing idea for a book. You pinch yourself internally to make sure you are not dreaming as you think the idea is simply brilliant. You rush off to tell your husband and the first thing he says is, the story is not believable as it stands and maybe you should end it differently. You look at him, aghast. Your entire concept hinges on the ending, and without it you feel you do not have a book. Oh well, you shrug, at least you did not go ahead and waste your time writing the book! But, what if your initial idea for a story was indeed brilliant? What if you did have an amazing concept that might have been a future best seller, yet, you did not even try and were swayed by another person's opinion? What do you stop yourself from doing before you have even started?
