Our Futureshifters manager, Brooke Estin (add her as a friend here), has been in communication with several Futureshifters members in order to have them chronicle their personal journeys through the Futureshifters community. So far, we have a young social entrepreneur who is just starting the process of growing her social business and has agreed to do a weekly video journal of her ups and downs throughout the process. Here is a little bit about Annie and what she will be working on... Check it out:

AN INTRODUCTION TO SOMETHING GOOD

Starting to start...

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
So was yesterday, and so will be tomorrow, but today I am starting Something Good.

A short introduction:

Something Good is an online source of good things for you to know.

My name is Annie Wadhams and I am the founder of Something Good. I am 24 years old, I graduated from San Francisco State University in December of 2007 with a degree in International Relations.

I first realized the need for Something Good in my life when I experienced my first anxiety attack in an Introduction to World Affairs class. I didn't feel at the time that anyone was giving me anything to be hopeful about or inspired by. It was all scary and frustrating. So I got the idea to inspire!

Something Good is the current incarnation of that idea. It is still developing and being developed. I am working with some AMAZING people including my own family and friends and a community of people with the will to do something good all over the world!

Please come back and check us out! I will be posting stories about SG's progress and how people all over the world are working together and separately to make a significant change for the better.
