It's become my turn to write a blog on this website. I finally got on this century and bought my own PC so I've been able to read all the astonishing blows some of us have already written. You're not only great activists and great speakers, but also great writers. I already wrote my version about our common week in Guildford (http://www.britishcouncil.fi/projects/davos-lotta.htm) and I've beed active mostly at work (shop, night club and leading sport) even if I should have been actively reading for the exam of Helsinki School of Economics (I wanna get there also to be able to be part of university activism&politics with other young activists).

I've participated to some leadership courses (on sports, but luckily they reflect on other fields aswell) and to Young Influencers- work shop organized by British Council. I noticed the power on group thinking already with you in England, but it was in this work shop I actually realiced it. 1+1 really is 11 (yeah, I know I'm Blond, but you all agree, right?)

As said, even if we're not in contact 24/7, we still have The connection between all of us 60+, a connection that is deeper than written or spoken words. Contacting is only one way to express connection.

I know many of you are bound to turn majors (I'm turning to 19 today myself, had a great birthday party on weekend with some of my closest, in a childish style), but please don't you ever really turn into adults completely, save that small kid and childish mind inside you. And be careful with alcohol and stuff, this World has seen enough many great personalities to drop along those things, we need each of you. Just be moderate.

Let's keep fighting for our common goals (peace&love ) and our individual&local goals in our everyday life, at least with small things such as smiles, recycling and enjoying of every instant. Everything is possible and you never know where you find yourself and the rest of us tomorrow, but live every second as if it was your last one: enjoy, show love and be loved. The amount of love in this world is unlimited and there's never too much of it, let's keep loving.
