Special Ornament
Hey Everyone,
Last week we my friends that I live with and I decorated the Christmas tree. I eagerly placed an ornament that is very special to me on the tree. That silver ball orname
nt is the last Christmas gift I received from my Mom. She made for me with love and I cherish it. The best gift was her love, but all I have now is this ornament to hold on to as well as the memories.

Always Remeber To Find Reasons To Smile:)
Hey Everyone,
Here is a silly picture of my awesome nephew and I making some crazy faces. Through my journey of grief of losing my Mom, I've learned to latch on to happy moments. Time with nephew is always just great, and I truly latch on to our time together. Though it's hard to know my Mom is not here to see this crazy little guy, I smile when I think that he is here because of her. With him, it's not hard to find reasons to smile.

November 11th Speech
Hello Everyone,
I again apologize for the very late post about this awesome speech.
This speech was given at the Courthouse Commons Cafe in Carlisle, PA. My amazing Aunt Deb and Uncle Curtis came to support me in this amazing cause, which was great. They were not the only familiar faces in the crowd though, my friend Govan from the Pennsylvania Suicide Prevention Coalition as also there. I walked up to the stage with shaky hands and before I began to speak I closed my eyes and thought of who I truly wanted to be in that crowd, my Mom. With this I opened my eyes to reality and spoke with passion about my Mother, and how I am now a motherless daughter. After this I pointed out different risk factors about suicide, and shared different preventative measures that can be taken when a loved one is suicidial.
The speech was great, and I thank Courthouse Commons and Ric LeBlanc for allowing me to spread the work about suicide prevention. Thanks as always to all who are making this possible, together we are saving lives!
