Life Through The Eyes of Stacy

This is a list of things I've learned this year...that I hope and pray not to repeat in 2013. But hey, if I do, I am sure it won't be the end of the world! 1.  No matter how much you love someone, its not worth anything if you don't show them. People cannot read your mind~Or heart~for that matter. So I have learned and continue to see that I need to show my love. 2. A person can be good and yet do bad things. Judging someone based on one thing they did would be like cutting down a tree simply because a leaf falls off and dies. We are all made up of many branches and leaves...So give people a break. Which leads me to my next one... 3.NO ONE has the right to treat you like crap. Not your Mom or Dad, your Sister or brother, your Priest, teacher, boss or anyone else. This is a lesson I am still learning because it has to come from self esteem and self worth in order to believe in this and I am still working on mine. Regardless though of who they are and No matter what si...

What I wrote on fb last night: There were 27 deaths in the horrific shooting at  this elementary school in Connecticut, 20 of them children, some of them as young as 5...The oldest I believe was 12... Yet we should give attention and the spotlight to only 26 of them. The man who killed them should not be made the center of this anymo re. Have you noticed that each shooting gets worse? That it went from high schools to an elementary school? Those poor kids were barely old enough to know what hate is. Let's stop making each shooting as a goal for some person with a mental health issue to surpass....Forget "his" name! Except for the investigators who need to figure out the profile and life that may have led up to this man becoming a monster, we should only remember the names of these 26 innocent children and teachers. I hope the news will stop giving a spotlight to the man who caused all this death and disaster. We need to demand it by not watchin...

Its a very depressing night. My heart is heavy with sadness for the 20 children and 6 teachers killed today at Sandy Hook Elementary school. If I feel this way I can only imagine what the families of the kids and staff who were at the school during the horrific shooting. Then there are the family of the ones murdered. It must be such an unbearable and unreal feeling all at once. One minute you are going about your day after having sent your children off to school and not even a half hour later you are getting information that there was a shooting. I don't know what they are going through but my thoughts, prayers and my heart is with them...I came here to write in order to do the only thing I know how to when something like this happens. Imagine the thoughts of the parents and staff's family as the news registers..."Is my child/family member alright?" No one but those who have endured such news and fear of what might be can understand the thoughts that must rip thro...
