Memorial Day

08 May 2014 Comments Off on Memorial Day

I am the proud wife of a Marine Veteran and in honor of all the brave men and women who have served our country, I offer these pictures for your inspiration.

Too often I think, some of us forget what our National Holidays really mean. Memorial Day is not national barbecue day.

We have our freedoms because of the sacrifices of many men and women who, in some cases gave their lives for our freedom.

Dear Fellow Journalers, I don’t know about you, but that little “ditty” April showers bring May flowers, is a wish I am wishing for!

We have many celebrations in May. Our family will celebrate Mothers’s Day, my birthday, our Granddaughter’s birthday and Memorial Day!

Lots of family time and love! Have a great May.

National Child Abuse Awareness Month

17 Apr 2014 Comments Off on National Child Abuse Awareness Month

Dear Fellow Journalers,

April is National Child Abuse Awareness Month.

April is the month set aside to remind us all of the horrible and devastating effects of child abuse.

Few of us realize the terrible long-term effects that child abuse has. While we may be appalled when we see or hear about an act of child abuse on TV or in the newspaper, few realize that the act of abuse is only the beginning.

Did you know for instance that a whopping 88% of all psychopathic criminals have child abuse at the core of their problems? Non Abused children grow up with a view of the world that includes a healthy outlook that includes morals, social adjustment, and a belief that you must do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Abused children have this healthy outlook destroyed when they are either mentally, physically, or sexually abused. They look at the world as a place of punishment, and come to feel that it is “normal” for them to punish others in the same manner.

The only way to end this terrible cycle is for us to report child abuse wherever and whenever we see, or even suspect it. Only by removing a child from the hell of child abuse as quickly and early as possible can we help ensure that the child will receive treatment to counteract the long-term effects of the abuse they have suffered.

Please help insure a healthy, happy, well-adjusted childhood for ALL children. In so doing, YOU are also insuring a bright future for America itself, free from the devastating effects that we know child abuse causes.

END CHILD ABUSE TODAY! REPORT IT NOW! END THE SENSELESS DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN LIFE IT CAUSES! IT’S UP TO US ALL

For those of you who would like more information such as what to do if approached by a child who says they are being abused, things you should/shouldn’t do, or who to contact in your town/city please email me for further information at uniquelyyourscraftjournal@outlook.com

Dear Diary, – you’re history!

30 Sep 1915 Comments Off on Dear Diary, – you’re history!

by uniquelyyourscraftjournal in Perspectives Tags: death, diary

Dear Fellow Journalers,

Have you ever considered tossing your old journals? I recently read a blog post in which the author suggested that very thing! Her claim for this murderous act was that once written, the words were impossible to deny. The journals named names and contained snippets of her story and others. There were secrets and maybe a few lies. She said that before she tossed the journals to their fate, she forced herself to read all the agonizing words and did pick out one or two morsels for an up-coming novel (she wanted to write ‘some day’). In her frenzied state, she reasoned that upon her death, the journals would reveal her life and others. Future generations shouldn’t know that her secret ambition was to meet George Clooney!

…..So, what would you do?
