Dear All Of Us,
How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was perfect. Lots of yummy food of course, but also lots of time with family. I think that the best gift that we can give ourselves and our family is time. Good quality time together. This is why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. No gifts to buy! A good meal with family. That's what we had. This year we even had a family football game. Besides a few minor injuries it was great. The day was filled with laughs. I hated to see it end.
Until next year……..

Violence doesn't solve anything, it's not just Ferguson.
Dear all of us,
When did it become acceptable to commit violent acts? When did it become acceptable to threaten children? I truly do not understand what is going on in our country.
Watch this video. This is a school board discussing the fact that there are 20 kids with food allergies in the school. One school board members jokes that the children should be shot. The rest of the members laugh. In what capacity is this ok? Now we joke about kids being shot because of a medical disability. Really? I am stunned. I do hope that this video becomes viral. I do hope that there are consequences for this. It is obvious that this board does not care about children at all.

Ferguson-There are no winners. We have all lost. A boy lost his life. A police officer has had his life turned upside down. If you do not agree with the verdict, how does violence make it better? I understand peaceful protests and I support peaceful protests. Looting, violence and the like will not bring Michael Brown back. Honest, difficult discussions will not bring him back either. However, honest and difficult discussions may help to keep the peace.
I am begging now. Think about what you say and do. Take a breath. Don't jump to stupid speech and dangerous actions.

Step up!
Dear all of us,
I watched a story this am on the Today Show that rocked me. I cried and cried. It was about homeless children. To hear this girl speak about what her life is like.....it's so very sad and so very unfair. No child in this country should be homeless. She deserves better, from all of us.
Do something to help someone that has less than you. Do one thing. Not just during the holidays but during every season.

Take the risk
Dear all of us,
Do you have a dream? Do you have a goal? Is there something that you have always wanted to do but you have been afraid to try?
Go for it!!!!!!!
What do you have to lose?
Do you want to look back in 5 years and think about what might have been?
Don't do that to yourself.
If you have an idea or a dream then you owe it to yourself to follow it!
Find a friend and pitch your idea. Brainstorm.
What's the worst that's going to happen? It won't work out. Well, yes it might not work out. At least you tried!
Don't do the "what if" game. Just go for it! It will be worth it in the end.
Look at this. This is a great example of someone who had a dream and she went for it!
What's stopping you?
