Starting Now
I have decided that I'm starting my holiday vacation as of today. I know it's early but last year I didn't celebrate the holidays as I usually do, let's just say it was a very hard year. So this year I'm going all in. I can't wait to bake cookies with my nieces and nephews I can't wait to do crafts with them. I'm ready to hang lights and decorate the tree. I can't wait to be sitting on the sofa wrapped in a blanket watching Christmas movies while sipping on some hot chocolate. I'm beyond ready, to say the least. I hope to be back sometime in January doing what I do best, write. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving full of laughter and turkey. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas filled with love, and cheer. And if you don't celebrate Christmas then Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or whatever it may be that you celebrate I hope it's joyous. I hope the new year brings you and your loved ones good fortune, and new adventures. I hope the new year showers you with wishes come true and new opportunities. I hope 2014 is a year full of happiness and good health. Happy Holidays from my family to yours.

Gone to soon
I just read an article about students that lost their friend
to leukemia that decided to make and wear t-shirt in her honor only to go to school,
and be told that they have to either flip them inside out or take them off. That’s right administrators in Battle Creek,
Michigan told students of Lakeville Middle school that they could not wear the t-shirts.
The banned shirts were decorated by the students themselves, they wore blue
because that was Caitlyn Jackson’s favorite color, and orange because it is the
color to promote leukemia awareness. Do you see anything wrong with these
students that have just lost a friend much to young, honoring her by wearing
shirts to not only promote leukemia awareness but to also show that their
friend is still present? If the shirts were inappropriate in some way then ok,
but these t-shirts were not. Parents of the students heard about the administration’s
decision and were mad to say the least some even wanted the administrators
fired. After the school spoke to Caitlyn’s family the school posted on their Facebook
page that the shirts would be allowed to be worn. Sure, they reversed their
decision but the damage was already done. They made this act of kindness, and
love seem disrespectful to young Caitlyn’s memory, when in reality in a world
full of bullies and people that don’t care this act of kindness and love is a
ray of light in a long dark tunnel. I would personally like to applaud these
children for not only their loyalty to a friend gone to soon but for taking the
time to honor her. My sincerest condolences to all of Caitlyn’s friends and
family during this difficult time. Caitlyn will live on in the hearts of all
she touched. Rest in Peace Caitlyn.

5 ways to avoid getting sick this season
I’ve been feeling sick the last couple of weeks, it’s as if
I’m going to get a cold but it doesn’t completely hit. I figured with cold
season coming I’d share 5 ways to avoid getting sick.
1- Exercise: Exercise helps circulate your blood that pumps germ fighting cells through your body that gets rid of toxins. So get to exercising!
2-Sleep: Another great excuse to sleep late! While we sleep,
our bodies regenerate and restore damage done to the body during the day. So
sleep for about 7 to 9 hours each night.
3- Pets: Turns out if you pet your, well pet it can increase
your immune system. So grab your cat, dog, horse, goat whatever and get to
loving it.
4-Clean hands: Obvious, we touch all kinds of things daily
with millions of germs so washing your hands is one way of avoiding getting
sick.
5- Vaccines: Here in Tucson every year they have free
vaccinations in various locations, so look into any places in your hometown
that offer free vaccines.
And finally, if you do get sick make sure to drink plenty of
liquids, get plenty of rest and eat chicken soup it is proven to help when
sick!
