Practice Injection Exam

“Tomorrow, I have a major test,” Kelsey said worried before bed.
“What is your test on?” I ponder in our world of virtual learning…
“Injecting a needle properly.  Don’t worry, it’s on a dummy, code word doll (said with a wink).  It’s practice for when I am a doctor someday.  I have to start learning now,” replied Kelsey with full sincerity.
She typed a list of all the necessary steps and practiced each step on me to ensure accuracy.  I gave her an A+.
Our talk continued with life goals and the innocence of youth, a turn occurred.  “Should I be scared of COVID?  If I became a doctor and the emergency comes back, how will I help patients and worry about me?”
When the day to day “normal” has become routine, moments bring you back…
Be Brave.  Stay Strong!

Wicked Warriors, Stand Strong

A few months ago, a philanthropic group of women were on the soccer fields with news of an organization that ended abruptly after a decade of success, love, and teamwork.

Stronger and braver now than in the past, this tremendous group of warrior women could not be stopped!  They formed a new alliance and stand together as The Wicked Warriors to make a difference in their community.

This week, The Wicked Warriors voted on their inaugural charitable selection.  Though we are in uncertain times and the season of dragon boat racing may not commence as planned, these warriors voted and selected our organization to begin their quest to make a difference.

We are grateful that such a brave and dedicated group of women selected us.

Thank you for your support and for showing us, love.

Be Brave, Wicked Warriors!

Math the 4th…

May 4th was a beautiful day!
Our Second Annual Golf Outing was scheduled and postponed for safety.

May 4th came and went.
It was a beautiful day, it would have been a gorgeous day for a golf outing.
To all of our supporters, we thank you!
Our new distancing leaves much to be determined, but much we are grateful for, too.
When it’s safe to return to normal,
We will be on the course for our cause!
Stay safe and be brave until then..

Be BRAVE

To support our local grocery store employees, president, Mary Wagner donated BRAVE bands to employees at two locations.

Our next project is creating comfort BRAVE bands to local health care providers.  Be BRAVE!

BRAVE Redefined in COVID 19

This weekend, a BRAVE nurse had the idea to utilize BRAVE bands in her day-to-day work on the frontlines.  After she picked up the bands, Kelsey brainstormed the many other BRAVE men and women who work on the front lines daily.

We counted the amount of BRAVE bands we had remaining, and though it was a mix of colors and orders, we had exactly 100.  Kelsey decided that she wanted to donate BRAVE bands to those front line workers.  After two calls to ShopRite, the first deliveries are set for today by President, Mary Wagner.

#ThisisHowIBRAVE

Thank you to all who work and serve others!

Distant Welcome

Front line providers and those working in essential services are our national heroes right now.  We salute, admire, and respect you all.

America’s heroes also remain on the front lines dedicating their service to our nation.  Our family was humbled to honor a year of service away from home in these strange times.  Our hometown hero was welcomed back with two streets lined with the simple message, “Welcome Home.”  Not a dry eye watched from afar…

The extended family stood from afar waving flags and proudly singing “Born in the USA.”  @brucespringsteen   In 2020, the Boss sings, “I woke up this morning just glad my boots were on,” in Western Stars.  We were born in the USA and are lucky to put our boots on…

Hello (from the inside)

Like you, we pray and wait, from the inside.

COVID-19 is scary and unkind.  During our rainy weekend, Kelsey discovered this parody and had it on at least five times daily.  Funny, honest, and real, we sing alone to make the new normal one of hope, joy, and love.

Telekinesis

Yesterday on the counter, I read the words of a nine year old that hit hard in this pandemic.  Our state ranks number two with cases and we pray for our essential service workers and health care professionals.  We see you, we are apart, and we cannot wait to look back on this…

All my life, I wanted telekinesis to make my disease go away without it hurting.  The goal is to find a cure as soon as it is made, but doing it without pain requires telekinesis.  This is why telekinesis would be my super power.

In March, we could use telekinesis to everyone.  Keep them safe and stop the invisible virus.  Taking away the virus without any pain is the goal.  Telekinesis could save the world.

Be Brave Today

In the midst of so much uncertainty around the world, we attempt a pause to embrace our gifts and hug our blessings a bit tighter.

The words that continue to scare us are those which say, “Only the vulnerable will be at risk.  Your only is our everything.”

Please heed the warnings.  Please distance.  Please keep safe and strong.

Our global normal is changing daily.  Schools are closed and the toilet paper is sparse.  In times of despair, we often see communities come together and lift each other up.  Doing so from a distance is unique.  Digital platforms allow for daily check-ins and lines of love to continue.  We are grateful for those.

Today is a day to be brave and strong.  Have the courage to stay away and be uncomfortable within your walls.  A friend of ours once declared that March 18th would be Brave Day.  Little did we realize how brave we would need to be today. #ThisisHowIBrave

Our everythings are too important for risk due to a lack of understanding.  #Strongertogether #BeBraveToday

How will you brave today?
