4 hour flight + 8 wonderful people + 107 degree heat = A trip that I will never forget! Thanks guys!

A Trip To Last A Lifetime

Well I'm home! I had a BLAST in San Antonio this weekend! There is soo much to do there that you can never get bored! Me being from Michigan, I'm not used to the heat of Texas (107 degrees!), so getting off the plane and walking out into the bright sunshine and beautifully warm air was a great start to a busy, eye opening, awe struck, humbling weekend. The reason I went to San Antonio was to go to an anti-bullying conference where The Bullycide Project presented and got the word out about our production and what schools can do to get it to them. The conference was held in the beautiful Crowne Plaza Hotel Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio. The view from the room was amazing, and the Riverwalk was literally steps away from the hotel. Now Some advice for those of you who sometime in the future will stay at the Crowne Plaza, when you walk the Riverwalk, GO RIGHT AND TAKE LOTS OF WATER! Even though I was not used to the heat (and we turned the wrong way!), It was a beautiful sight. San Antonio is truly a beautiful city. The works of art scattered around the city are a bright reminder of just how proud the people of San Antonio are of their city. Not only is the architecture a wondrous sight, but the food and entertainment are also a big part of the night life there.

Blanco Cafe is traditional Mexican food that is hot and very very good. The restaurant itself is a sight to see. The outside is a traditional brick front with a green awning and the inside is decorated in bright colors and has a homey feel about it. The service was excellent and the food was five star. If you are in the mood for a less traditional dining experience, head over to Dick's Last Resort on the water of the Riverwalk. Filled with great food and an entertaining wait-staff, it is a blast just to experience. The food was amazing (I ate Alligator!), and the paper hats that they give you were a blast! The waiters write something about you on the hat and make you wear it until you leave the restaurant. But if you decide that you don't want to wear your hat (as a kid there learned), the whole restaurant will begin to boo you until you put it on! After a long day of sight seeing, and the heat has died down (Which won't happen, but it doesn't hurt to dream!), take a little ride on the boat tours. Riding down the Riverwalk and listening to all of the history of all the different buildings and places is a nice end to a wonderful day. If you are in the mood to just walk around, do so around the restaurants of the Riverwalk which in themselves are a sight to see!

San Antonio is truly a city of lights. Las Vegas, Paris, or New York can't compare to the utter beauty and history of San Antonio and the people who reside there. So when deciding where to go on your next vacation, San Antonio should definitely be on the list of possibilities!

Peace and Love!

San Antonio!

When I Look In The Mirror

The mirror. It can be a girls best friend, or worst enemy. For me, it is a little bit of both. Everyone has their days where they just look Friggin' Gorgeous! And there are the days where we ladies don't really feel like putting on all of our makeup, and trying to dress up to impress. So why is it that men are soo superficial on those days? It's like we have the Black Plague when we aren't looking our best! Well I'm here to say that we all need to embrace our inner beauty! Without the makeup, without the fancy clothes, and without the put-on face that we show the world to gain just that much more recognition from the greater public to boost us up one or two notches.

If we 'Normal' people are allowed to go out with no makeup, in sweats, and hair a mess...why are stars put under such a fine toothed microscope? Why are we allowed to get away with fashion murder and they are ridiculed and "Spat on" (metaphorically of course!) for releasing themselves, and taking a day off? I know exactly what you are all thinking..."They are STARS! They HAVE to look good all the time!" Well maybe that is why so many of them have so many problems. Maybe that is why there are so many unhealthy stars who turn to anorexia or bulimia because someone in somewhere-ville tweeted that they were getting a little heavy. This is wrong. And I will be the (Maybe not first, but I like to think I am!) first to say that these people who we all Idolize and look up to and think we have to be like in every way, are beautiful whether they have on every concealer known to man, or they want to let the world be the world! Peace and Love!

Love Is Like A Trust Fall

People say you don't know what 'Love' is until you are older, or until you are out of high school. But in all reality, who are they to tell someone else whether they know what love is or not? I mean does really love really make sense after you pass a certain age? I will agree that some High School relationships aren't the smartest, or the greatest idea for many different reasons, but when you know....YOU KNOW! Take for instance a couple who goes to my high school. I found out that they have been dating for three years now, and are as strong as ever! They really care for each other and I see nothing wrong as I see them walk down the hallways like true lovers.

Love doesn't have an age limit. Love is the one thing not wrong in the world. It is pure and truthful. But when you think you love someone, but it isn't mutual, what do you do? If you love them, you can't just cancel and move on. You can't just pass by them everyday and not say anything, but on the inside you are screaming for their attention. Losing love SUCKS! It hurts, and it's hard to handle. But in the light of things, you almost have to get a mentality of a 'Cancel and Move On' thinking of things. Not that anyone should be afraid of love, or scared, or frightened. You should embrace it! Also not saying that you should love every person that passes by you on the street, but that you should keep an open mind and not be afraid.

Life is Beautiful. Beauty is Lovely. Love is True.

The world as I see it

Lately after all of the recent Bullycide performances I have really been thinking about how much love a person really has in their life. Take for instance the performance that we did in Cadillac, the hometown of Alex Harrison. I was holding it together pretty well during the show and I was proud at how strong I was for not breaking down. Well after the show I eventually did, and it wasn't pretty in the slightest. But during bows while we were in the audience, I looked around me at just how many people were really there in support of Alex and of the entire show. But as I looked around at everyone who was in attendance, 500 people to be exact, it really struck me how much people really loved Alex and the Harrison family. Not just his amazing friends, and not even just his family, but the other 488 people in attendance who were sporting 'In Memory of Alex Harrison' bracelets and the many 'Remembering Alex' T-shirts. It didn't occur to me until I stopped and really looked, and I mean REALLY looked at all of the faces of the people there, that it was one person. One group to ruin all the years of love and happiness Alex had shared with every single person in attendance. One person to make all of the love and support that he had ever felt and received and given, to make none of it matter. One person. Like you, and me.

I also thought how different the lives of not just me, but of the world, would be if one person could stand up to the bully and really make a difference. That one person is someone like you or me. That one person needs to find it in themselves to stand up and not let others discourage them. If that one person stood up to Alex's bully, would he be here today? That is the question I ask myself a lot these days. That is the question that I feel that needs an answer and I will do whatever I can to find the answer.

What is our purpose in life? It is a different answer for everyone. But for me, it is to preserve life. To not let someone take that away, and to not just stand by and watch. I admire the pure strength of PK, and Tom Harrison, Sydney Maresh, and The other caring and truly loving people that I have met through this project! You are all the people who I admire most. Not just because you are all funny, loving, kind, caring, unique, and just plain awesome; but because you are all the kind of people who young kids look up to, and aspire to be! I love you all and hope to see you all soon!
