Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

I think of a promise as a declaration that something is true (honest) or that you will honestly carry out what ever statement you have pledged. As adults we are likely to use a hand shake as a symbol of agreement but kids prefer the pinkie promise. I had my kids stage their hands for me and took this one shot. I then converted to Black and white and played with the channel mixer, exposure and contrast. And yes, I realize that some serious nail cleaning is due!

The road to your championship will not be a smooth, wide and easily traveled freeway. No, great accomplishments are never realized without first having to endure steep climbs, hard falls and sharp turns. The key to your success is perseverance and focus. Keep your focus on that which you desire to accomplish, your championship, and continually discover ways to, and ways not to, achieve your goals. Fall down and/or get knocked down 10 times and get back up 11..., and in so doing learn, grow and move closer to your championship.

Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm, or office where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world.

My favorite cousin I ever had...
She made me feel very special everytime I'm with her.
I always call my cousin because we're so close.
We're almost like sisters.
