#bad2013

Into everyone's life a little rain must fall. This is a good thing. Without rain nothing can grow. We would be barren as a desert.  However, 2013 has rained on me so much, that unless I can actually convert emotional growth into physical growth so I can finally get those few extra inches on my legs then the rain can do one!  May everyone's 2014 be full of sunshine and happiness - and only the necessary tiny drizzle here and there to keep us all fresh and growing.

To celebrate the Blog Action Day and start a conversation about human rights, I decided to share three short stories from Opportunity International that illustrate what happens when you give people these important rights. Opportunity International provides microfinance loans, savings, insurance and training to over five million people working their way out of poverty in the developing world.
