There is so much creativity happening in the modern “blog” world in order to get your message out there that it has me backing up sometimes and wondering how quickly time passes and that “simpler times” were just yesterday!
Everyone has a catch phrase, a picture or a gimmick to capture one’s attention. What did we do yesterday, before blogging, twittering, etc.? I guess my answer to that would be that maybe we just didn’t reach as many people as we can now.
With all of that being said, I particularly, am grateful that we can/ do reach so many more people now through these avenues that to not take advantage of these modern times and educate people on what you “KNOW” can save young people’s lives just seems ludicrous.
In what I deal with everyday, “creativity” almost seems like it should be a foreign thought when it comes to the importance of the life, and sometimes, death of our youth; yet it is a necessity in order to get people’s attention. No one likes to hear of an unexpected death of a child, or even a disease state that is taking our young people silently and unexpectedly at an alarming rate every day in this country, BUT it needs to be shared because in sharing that information, “LIFE” can be the pot of gold at the end of that rainbow; not some sort of monetary gain in this case.
LIFE – that is my creative thought for today! Sound absurd? Just take a moment out of your busy existence today and think about what your life means to you and, more importantly, what the life of your children, or other children in your lives, means to you. I don’t think it will take but just one moment!
My “creativity” for today is a picture of “my famliy”. We have experienced the loss of a child. I don’t believe that there is anyone out there that would ever expect to lose a child unexpectedly from a “detectable and treatable” disease, yet it happens every day. My mission is to change the statistics of that! And I don’t believe that there is a parent or person out there who expects anything different for any child/ young adult than to be one of innocence, fun, activity, health, etc. – and that is exactly what it can be! Through detection of “cardiac arrhythmia syndromes” comes treatment and “LIFE”!
These Are Our "Living" Children
