Live, Laugh and Learn for a Better Economy : )

As I start the new week - I realize that I my focus had been disrupted last week by opinions from others who pretty much just like to hear themselves speak. Or I admit I could have put myself in a bad position to get smacked around a bit because I have a terrible sense of humor. I can find humor in just about anything - and it does make life more bearable with all the injustice in the world today. But I do understand that some people out there take their convictions so seriously that my joking around really light a fire under them. God help them because I plan to be blogging all summer and I really don't know if I can control my tongue!;) Enough about me - the next few blogs will be about our cause and shopping local supporting local communities and trying to get the US economy back on track for our children. I am sure that politics will play a part in this, but I am more interested in people like me being educated about what they can do other than voting for the right guy and then sitting back in their lazy-boy waiting for things to get better. Our goal is to reach the people - even people who are not online reading blogs - and let's face it - people do not get online to read blogs like this - they get online to be entertained with clever quips or YouTube videos of cute animals . That reminds me - I need to find a cute animal for our cause - then maybe we will reach more people - or maybe I will film the kids on skateboards - someone is bound to get hurt and that always seems to be a big hit for followers - lol. That was a joke so no one needs to call social services on me. Have a great day - this week we will focus on what we can do to start helping now.
