Use your words.


If you have a problem.
If you have a political agenda.
If you have a point to make.
If you have an opinion.
If you have a feeling.
If you have anything at all that you need to express,
do it with words. Not violence.

Language is powerful. If used correctly, words can reach the masses. And they can make a difference. 

I don't know the motive behind what happened in Boston. But I hope that one day people will learn to turn to words or some other creative and safe outlet to work out whatever turmoil is going on inside of them.

We need to teach people not to hate. Each one of us, individually, needs to abolish hate in our own lives until there is simply none left in the world.

Lead by example. Leave a legacy you're proud of.

I love Boston. I love the Red Sox. I love the Bruins. I love the atmosphere in the city. I love the feeling I get when I go there, and the last time I was there I wasn't at all ready to go back home. Boston is strong, and that same atmosphere that I fell in love with will be back. You can't keep them down.

Supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through the Boston Marathon

I just wanted to quickly share this fundraising page started by my cousin's sister-in-law who is running the Boston Marathon and raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. As of right now she has raised $3,615 which puts her at 72% of her of goal of $5,000. She only has $1,385 left to go (at the time that I'm writing this) and I think she can reach it!

I felt compelled to share this not only because of her story about why she's running (which you can read on her fundraising page), but also because I have a family member who is in remission from leukemia. Cancer can affect anyone, and we need as much help as possible in finding a cure.

That's all for today - I'm in the midst of writing something a little more fun for those of you who received a very special Christmas gift this year... (you'll see).
