I'm baaaaaacccccccckkkkkkk! I have re-entered the "wonderful world of blog" - this time without my husband, Jeff. Turns out he wasn't really a blogger. Too bad. So I'm shifting the theme from "two heads are better than one" to it being more of a discussion forum for social issues. Sound interesting??? It will be - I promise! I've learned - and am still learning - a great deal about life - and hope to learn from you too! So - LIVE UNITED is the new United Way "call to action" It's not a campaign theme or just another nice slogan. It's a message to everyone to get involved - some way, some how! And there's a cool t-shirt - it's only five bucks. Visit our website at www.unitedwayofsemo.org to check it out then stop by 430A Broadway to pick one up!
Here's the official definition of LIVE UNITED:

Underneath everything we are, underneath everything we do, we are all peple. Connected, Interdendent, United. And when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
So what do you think? Is it to altruistic? Too pollyanna? (I've been called that before!) Or - is it about time. Can't wait to hear from you. Thanks!
