All We Need is LOVE

Dear Life,

As I read the headlines, I get increasingly sad.
Watching students get shot at schools, 
Seeing terrorist attacks all over the world,
Reading hateful comments people write about various topics,
I am SAD.

It seems that the world is getting increasingly more scary,
More hateful,
More mean,
EVERY SINGLE DAY.

It seems like people want to blame,
People want to judge,
People want to voice their opinion on everything.

We need action.
This WORLD needs action.

I'm not talking about more guns, more violence, more hate.
I'm talking about LOVE.
We need to love each other.
Love our families.
Love our friends.
Love our neighbors.



Teach our children to accept differences.
To value the act of kindness.
Teach them to treat everyone around them with LOVE.

As the young generation learns to love,
To be educated instead of judgemental,
They will become the generation that makes a difference in this world.

Love has to win.
Love has to be the answer.
There is not always a reason for a tragedy, there is not always blame to be placed.


Educate. Love. Kindness.  Be the light.

Bucket List


Dear Life,


I have a dear friend who has seen a lot of the world, lived in a lot of places, and done a lot of things.  Years ago I didn't have the desire to travel, I was content to let her have the adventures.  I didn't think I would mind...I had my children and a whole different world going on.  I have discovered that my desire to see the world has changed.  Blame it on the books I love to read....historical fiction has broadened my horizon...and really given me a desire to see more of the world. 


I haven't even seen the Grand Canyon for heaven's sake.

I have been to New York, and I've seen a small slice of Florida.  I've been to Utah, and I've been to Vegas.  I've been to Ohio and I even lived in Alabama for a bit.  Oh and I do get to go to Hawaii (finally). That's it.  I want to see the south, I want to see Chicago, I want to see DC, I want to see Virginia, I want to see historical EVERYTHING.  But what calls me more than that is the rest of the world:  

England



 France

 Germany



Russia



Scotland

Spain


Japan



Denmark



China


 Australia




 Ireland


Egypt



 Italy



 To name a few.  I really want to make this bucket list a reality.  I love history so much....and to see where things began....to see the places where events changed the whole world...would change me, I just know it.  

What's on your list?
