To all: Let’s stop killing one another, in declared wars/actions and on the streets, and have the UN lock up all the plutonium.
To the children: Please go to school, learn in school, and go as far as you can and be who you want to be.
To the parents: Be there for your children, always. Support them emotionally. They need to know you love them and believe in them.
To the educators and mentors: Nurture your students. Do not take advantage of their youth to mistreat them, and do not let them be bullied by their peers.
To all: We are all creatures of this earth, to be respected. Don’t buy your kids an Easter bunny unless it will be a family pet for life. Ditto dogs and cats. It’s a lifetime commitment that must be respected. No dog should be thrown out a car window outside a local park. And please spay and neuter your pets.
To all: Beauty, and reality shows are not what real life is about. It’s about who you are inside and what you want to do with your life. It’s not Botox or fake nails.
Life is not for the faint of heart. Love is the same way, you have to work at it. Be the best person you can be. Yes, you’ll lose some but you’ll end up with faith in yourself. If you don’t love yourself, you are of little use to anyone else.
