I was planning to get back to my England Series but saw an opportunity to give some substance to my concluding remark in my previous article: “The Day After.” (Read the P.S. again at the bottom of that article).
There will be a summit this weekend attended by world leaders (20 world economies) including British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. He is, as well as other leaders, focusing on the Obama administration to set a serious tone for addressing the world financial crisis.
On the subject of foreign policy, he hopes that there will be a major focus by Obama’s team on global institutions. The World Bank and International Monetary Fund, he hopes, would be on the priority list for radical reforms.
He believes there should be more involvement regarding future roles in world institutions for China and the Persian Gulf. This worldwide financial crisis could, according to Prime Minister Brown, be the “birth pangs of a new global order”.
Having family and friends who live in Europe, I am fortunate to know the inside scoop as well as hear the whispers on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.
Speaking of whispers, another spotlight has been updated in Stairway to Secrets. Look in the Music section and enjoy the video and songs performed by Jeanne Madsen. There will also be another update coming soon in the Video section. Have you ever seen an elephant paint?
With all the changes heading our way, make sure you take the time to reflect upon the things that are most important to you. It is necessary we stay alert to our surroundings; however, we must be careful that we don’t bury ourselves in too many worries and distractions. So if you’ve never seen an elephant paint before, now is the time to discover the wonders of the world you live in.
Share with us how you feel about your surroundings- if there is anything you wish to add or change.
