The Introverted Advocate

My Christmas Wish is that we bring compassion, love, and kindness to our daily lives. Let gratitude be our guide to sharing positive and kind energy with those around us. Let's get off autopilot. Let's share the goodness from within our hearts. It will change the world.

To remain a democracy, Americans must vote in the November midterms. It's never been so important to participate in elections. Please vote! Our country can be saved if each of us speaks up through our individual votes!

Dedicated to the kind, sensitive folks in America. Please take care of yourselves.

We must vote out every politician who refuses to keep our children and country safe from gun violence.

We're little dots within this vast universe. Humanity is fragile and also mighty! Should we not protect our planet Earth? Are we doing enough?

Gratitude is the key! Here's my story.

Nine years ago, a tragedy shook America. Yet, not much has changed to prevent it from happening again. Today, I say their names. It's my first step in learning how I may contribute to the solution of stopping violence. Each of us has the power to contribute to the solution. The question is: "Will we step up?"

Being self-aware helps us be respectful of those around us. It's important to look after one another. If we see someone who needs a little support, let's say something. After all, one day we may wish someone notices us and offers a kind word or helpful hand.

Each of us has a strength that may be applied to overcome all sorts of challenges. Can you name three of yours?

Our words matter. And I removed one specific word from my vocabulary after adopting an 8-week old kitten in 1993.
