Charity Work During COVID
I have always felt very strongly about charitable causes and helping others. I am fortunate to also have children that love to help too. Some of the things we have done over the years are: Distribute food and toys on Christmas day to needy families – we simply celebrate the day after Care packages for homeless Food donations to food banks Participate in charitable events like pet days with donations Provide school supplies and instruments to those in need Run a campaign to remind people to pay it forward These are just some ideas. But right now with COVID there are so many other opportunities to help. Did you know…

Take The Jump – Make a Difference #JumpForKids
Most of us can likely conjure up a few decidedly positive or negative images based on the phrases “rise and shine”, “early to bed, early to rise”, or “So-and-so woke up on the wrong side of the bed.” But what if you had no point of reference with which to understand the subtleties of these phrases? What if simple joys like snuggling under warm covers or enjoying a good night’s sleep were not familiar to you? Unfortunately, this is the case for many needy children in our midst. Nearly one in 30 kids in the United States faces the brutal reality of homelessness, not having the certainty of a next…

Photo by Unsplash, CC0 1.0 Many people wonder what to do with their lives.

Why I’m Going to #LightItUpBlue for Understanding and Acceptance
We live in the world of autism. Our 16 year old son is autistic and yes we have struggles but oh my goodness has he come a long way especially in the last year. Once he turned 16 it was like a switch went off and now he works a job (with support), is learning life skills and even rides a horse and has his own horse. He even occasionally competes in shows now – that is definitely the highlight of his life. Notice he always wears blue instead of black and white! Since April is World Autism Month, I’ve decided to #LightItUpBlue with Autism Speaks to…
