Introduction

To be sparked is defined as being stirred up or activated. Different things or situations in life can be the spark to make changes in our behavior, home, community, etc. Death, divorce, job loss, birth, marriage, disease (I'm sure the list can go on!). Awareness of global warming has caused increases in recycling. Oprah's newest campaign is about making our automobiles a NO PHONE/TEXT ZONE!!! Why? To be the catalyst for change. My cousin wanted to instill some moral principles into her young grandchildren, because we as adults have to admit, the moral fiber of this nation is waning. A couple of years ago I read Robert Shemin's How Come THAT Idiot's Rich and I'm Not? His book inspired me to want to be a rich idiot, too. (You've got to read the book!) These are just a few examples of sparks.You can either be a couch potato and do nothing or be sparked and do something different. It's your choice.
