Let this sink in FMHS community- especially as we are all about to pay our hefty school tax bill. Dr. Craig Tice is a fool to be the only superintendent in the county to reject this and his foolishness hurts the students in our community. Kudos to Ryan McMahon- he’s been a rockstar from day one - shame on Tice. Kids in our community and beyond are suffering and parents have no where to turn for help- this decision is irresponsible. Every board member should be getting bombarded with calls for this one. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealth #ourChildrenMatter #community #communitysupport #FMHS #onondagacounty

"It's madness to hate all roses because you got scratched with one thorn, to give up all dreams because one of them didn't come true, to give up all attempts because one of them failed. It's folly to condemn all your friends because one has betrayed you, to no longer believe in love just because someone was unfaithful or didn't love you back, to throw away all your chances to be happy because something went wrong. There will always be another opportunity, another friend, another love, a new strength. For every end, there is always a new beginning..... And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince .

Super proud of my friend @siobhanfallonhogan and her incredible movie, Rushed, @rushedmovie, which brings to the table the problem of hazing on college campuses. Siobhan is amazing portraying a mother who loses her son in the most senseless way. It premieres in theaters as well as streams on Apple and Amazon on August 27th. Go to my FB page to see the trailer! The conversation is so timely, important, and relevant. Siobhan represents the mother in all of us! #Rushed #movies #movienight #moviereviews #college #fraternity #fraternities #fraternitylife #hazing

God didn’t create mountains to test our strength. God created mountains to teach us to trust our strength. Have faith and you will conquer whatever comes your way. No matter how high the mountain may be, God is always there to help you get to the top.

Here’s a life lesson - always ask for what you want. Casey and I stumbled upon a closed red carpet event for the MLB All Stars. I asked what I needed to do to get us in and a sweet event’s person said - we have two entry tickets left - they are yours! Amazing - the players were all decked out in swanky suits! #mlballstargame #MLB #denvercolorado #denver #tuesday #TuesdayThoughts #tuesdaymotivation #baseball
