Finding focus

Dear all of us,
Do you have a problem focusing? I have so many ideas in my head of creative endeavors that I don't even know where to start.

I want to blog.

I want to blog about photography.

I want to blog about Montessori Education.

I want to blog about everyday life events.

I want to blog about food allergies.

I want to write a book(no focus there, I just want to do it).

I want to spend my time taking pictures.

I don't even know where to start so I do nothing….

Share it

I fully believe that the only way that lives will be saved, before a cure is found, is education. The only way to educate is to share information.

Share this, another child gone, and her name was Emma....

This should never happen...my thoughts are with the families.

The state of education

I have two causes that are near and dear to my heart, food allergies and education. I was a teacher for 15 years. I still have a passion for it. I believe that children are precious and amazing, I love spending time with them. I love when they "get" the concept that I am trying to teach them, it's truly exciting to me. Food allergies......hmm....do they get me excited? No! I wish they didn't exist, I wish that they weren't a part of our lives but, they are. Part of being an "advocate" is education. I educate my children about allergies, I educate those that are around my children about allergies. How do we educate the non allergic community? There need to be more programs in schools, Dr.'s offices, hospitals, everywhere really. 1 in every 13 kids has a food allergy. How many in the non allergic community know anything about allergies? How many in the non allergic community know how to use an epi pen? We have come so far but we still have a long way to go.

What are your thoughts? How can we educate those that are not immersed in allergies about allergies?
