Keeping Focused

I am really feeling like I have a mission in life again.  I ask myself every step of the way would Jared like this.  Some things I think he would be amazed at and others I think he would be too humble to accept.  But with the help of a very energetic young lady who has more passion in her pinkie than most adults do, I am making my way through all the technical difficulties I would normally have asked Jared for help on.  I downloaded the new messenger for Facebook on my phone today....Jared already had it...boy do I wish he was here to help me with that thing.  I am staying busy with getting things in order for the Jared's Keepers Foundation.  We have our website, our Facebook Page, and currently getting a Twitter and other social media accounts set up.  Not sure where this will all lead but I know it will lead somewhere good.
I will be focusing on getting the information together for upcoming speaking engagements.  I am looking forward to raising awareness.  I learned that the World Health Organization recognized suicide as the number 1 preventable disease on Earth and all members have pledged to decrease the rate by 10% by 2020.  Well why not make that 20% by 2020?  I think that would be a better campaign!

While I am realistic and understand, suicide will never completely go away, we can save people.  The first step is......

BE NICE TO EACH OTHER

Yes that is step one.  I believe Gandhi said our mission is to help one another and if we can't do that then just be nice to each other.

All other steps are easy after that.
Step two is let people know it is ok to seek professional help.  Stop the stigma that it is wrong or bad to ask for help and seek treatment.

I will continue to stay focused on Jared's Keepers Foundation and I hope tomorrow I will move forward with sharing more about Jared throughout his life.
