Something that's been on my mind a lot lately is how often some relationships are taken for granted.
You're best friend, you're sibling, or any other person that you may care about; express that love. Life isn't always a guaranteed thing, so it's imperative to pay attention to things like these. Especially during the holiday seasons with thoughts of finance or worries about the future ahead clouding our minds.
The important thing is that we're alive along with the people we love, surrounding us.
A wonderful gift like this should never be over looked.
Always :]

Hey everyone!
I'm sorry it's taken me this long to finally get this blog up and running.
The truth of the matter is, I really didn't know what to say.
After reading the emails you guys sent responding to my interview on The Story, I was completely blown away.
I had no idea that so many people were going to be inspired and touched by listening to what I had to say. I would describe this as a good kind of overwhelming.
Getting support from everyone else, in kind words alone, is enough to motivate me to change the world; and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
A very nice man from Pasadena, California was so touched, that he is sending me $3o.00 a month for a year to help me with school, or anything else I might need.
I want him to know that this week, his check couldn't have came at a better time.
It rained last Saturday, so there was no bake to do that previous Friday night; which meant that the only money I would be getting was for some of the butter I made (about $14.00). What had me worried, was that my mother's birthday was the following Monday and I had no money to get her anything! OR so I thought.
I went to the bakery to pick up my $14.00 butter check, low and behold, there was $30.00 waiting for me. I can't tell you how happy this made me! With the money, I was able to do something sweet for my mother and it couldn't have made me more thankful.
I thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
That just goes to show you; It's truly remarkable how much happiness one person can create out of just a little kindness.
-Sincerely,
James
