the good challenge.

i have decided to take the GOOD 30-day challenge to reconnect with people. in today's world of the internet, IMs, texts, emails, and so forth, we have forgotten as humans to utilize one of the greatest aspects that makes us, well... human. talk. communication. face to face. out-of-the-way to make someone else's day. acts of kindness. no one's a stranger. you get it.

as i have been pondering more about selfishness, isolation, and the slipping away of human good (see home.coming. post), i will put into actions my words, and see what happens. i am hoping for a lot of 'GOOD' because i believe it is still out there. lord, do i believe. join me?

PS, i love this website, check it.

preschooler.

charlotte marie, oh charlotte, you are one of a kind. you are a "miller" through and through, though you're still as beautiful as your mommy. you're stubborn, but sweet; independent, but a hugger. you love to love.
ever since you were born, the family has said you look like me, act like me, and even eat like me. you dip everything in ranch dressing. this is the only way i survived my childhood years!
i will be the first to say, being like me is not always the best thing because i have always been a stubborn, independent, mouthy gal, and it got me a lot of trips to time-out; but believe me, baby, these qualities will make you strong as well. always be yourself. your lovable, snuggable, only-you self.
