Description

There is a song that says "we're colored people and they call us the human race" and when I hear it...I am reminded that we are all in this together.

Recently, there was a high school shooting, in same district that my own children go to school. An 18 year old, barely leaving childhood, decided to hurt people and end his life.

I see it as a social responsibility, to notice the one person...and offer some kindness.

I have been the one, that didn't look right, too skinny, too fat, too white, too brown, too curvy, not curvy enough, too weird, not weird enough, too much money and not enough money, too friendly and not friendly enough. It seems, wherever I go, there are people that go out of their way to exclude or include me.

We are all part of the human race, why don't act it?
