In the coming year, I’d love to see a lot less of this:
1) Texting/Tweeting abbreviations. DWT. (Done with them.)
2) Fiscal cliffs.
3) Lindsay Lohan. Sorry, Linz, I feel for you – I really do – I just think you’re not gonna get better until we all stop staring.
4) Ending a statement or status update with “Just sayin…” Because usually what was just said was mean. In related news, I have discovered that whenever a conversation starts with “Please don’t take this personally…” then I can be sure that I’m about to take the conversation very personally. And it’s probably going to be about why women shouldn’t speak in church or why Christians shouldn’t have ALS. Just sayin.
5) (____________________). <<This line is blank because it’s the name of whomever Taylor Swift is dating at any moment. Let’s be done talking about this mystery fella until he puts a ring on it.
6) Princess Kate’s bangs and all related celebrity minutia. Because, seriously? 160 million orphans out there could use some attention too.
7) Democratic party political agenda.
8) Republican party political agenda.
More of this:
1) Political Unity. More working together as Americans to make America a wonder in the world.
2) People finding clever ways to care about the biggest issues their fellow humans face.
3) Money for ALS research. We are humans and this disease is humane. Let’s fund the research necessary to punch it in the face.
5) Peace.
Wishing you the best of all years in the best of all ways. May you know hope and joy as you live out each and every one of your precious days.
I love you,
Bo
Hi Bo! Always a pleasure to read your posts. Re #4 and ALS…I had been meaning to let you know of a woman you should meet, if you haven’t. Marilyn Thompson. She lives in Newberg and goes to Beav 4 Square or used to. Her husband lived with ALS for years before he died and they were very involved for years in that community because of it. She has a website, http://www.victoriaslavendar.com. Marilyn was going to come to the Beav 4 womens retreat but there was a conflict.
Thank you.
Love you too!
That is such a great and complete list, and I can’t think of anything to add. Thanks for your words of wisdom.
Bo! I don’t know if you remembr me, but I met you at the beaverton four square retreat this last fall (I was the brave young women who attended the retreat without knowing one single person.) I just wanted to let you know I was watching a regular program, one that I watch almost ever chance I get, the 700 club, and they had a segment toda about ALS, Autism, and a few other diseses being cured with over th counter coconut oil. As soon as I watched the segment I knew I had to see if you knew anything about it, or if you have even researched it. I just knew I had to get you the info. Hope you read this Bo! And I hope your holidays were all you’d expected them to be. And I hope maybe this info on cconut oil can bring you some peace and results. Its worth a try
Well, Take care Bo!, My prayers are with you!
