Today I woke up with a grateful heart. I am celebrating another day on this
wonderful planet and my family is showering me with love because it’s my
birthday. While I had originally planned
on sharing a post on working from home, a quick Google search of today led me
to a much more important cause. Did you know that today is National Missing
Children’s day? I didn’t either. How could I not know that I’ve shared my
birthday with this very important cause since 1983?

About National
Missing Children’s Day:
 |
| Source |
“In
1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25 as National Missing Children’s
Day. Each year, the Department of
Justice (DOJ) commemorates Missing Children’s Day with a ceremony honoring the
heroic and exemplary efforts of agencies, organizations, and individuals to
protect children.
Missing Children’s Day
is dedicated to encouraging parents, guardians, caregivers, and others
concerned with the well-being of children to make child safety a priority. It
serves as a reminder to continue our efforts to reunite missing children with
their families and an occasion to honor those dedicated to this noble cause.”
Three easy ways to get involved today:
Every
child deserves to feel safe. Every child deserves to live with their families
without fear of being taken, sold, hurt or worse. I always feel terrible when I
get an Amber alert and I don’t take them lightly. I look at the photo, I study
it and then I take action by sharing the Amber alert on social media AND by
looking at the faces in the crowd as I go about my day.
1. Always pay attention and share local and national Amber alerts
My
husband and I always look at the missing children’s posters at the exit of our
local Sam’s Club. We pull our cart over so we don’t get trampled on by the busy
exiting shoppers and we look at those faces, we say a prayer and then we take
our kids home with us.
2. Always look at the Missing Children's posters post in your community
Keeping
our kids as safe as we can is one of the most important reasons I am a work at
home Mom. I’m here for my kids in a way that I couldn’t be working outside the
home. It was a choice to earn less to be here in my home and in my community
more. But not all Moms can do that, so I will try to do more when and where I
can. I will pay attention to the kids, vehicles in my neighborhood, and report any suspicious activity to my neighborhood watch and law enforcement.
3. Pay attention to activities in your neighborhood and join your neighborhood watch.
Lastly, I invite
you to visit http://mecptraining.org/educate/national-missing-childrens-day/
to learn more and find resources on how you may be able to help in your
community, or nationally.
If you are reading this and are a parent- hug and connect with your child.
Tell them how very grateful you are to have them in your life. Do you know how
many kids are never told they are wanted, valued, loved? Be sure you are giving your kids your undivided attention so they truly feel connected.

Today is my birthday and I woke with a grateful heart and I
plan on using my voice, my talents, my heart to make today the best day of the
rest of my life by shining my light and remembering my blessings and hopefully,
plugging in to my community more and blessings others.

feel safe and loved today?
Please share in comments: Do you grow Clematis? If yes, what color is yours?
This month's color choice was inspired by a cute DIY project I did for my cat's litter box area. I fell in love with the rug I found that helps capture tracked litter. Fiona my youngest cat, loves this rug too!
Here's this month's Pinterest collaboration board. I love all the home decor pieces I found- and the hair color was a find!
