Such a major conversation about guns. Truth is, we also need to be having a conversation about MENTAL HEALTH. About how we talk to each other, about how we deal with anger. Even how people talk to each other on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc. – – its disturbing. Yes, have your arguments about guns. But haven’t we already been here before? Do me a favor: sit down with your kids, your family, your friends and talk. Yeah, just talk. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS. Communication matters. We need to step up. We need be smarter. Better than we used to be… please, let’s be better than we used to be…
Much love and peace to my neighbors and friends in Connecticut.

That’s actually the best commentary I’ve heard on any of the tragic shootings over the last few years, Carmen.

Too easy to just blame guns. I’m not a huge gun fan, but I think the issue is bigger than that. I hope we figure it out.

What a great and wonderful spirit you are! Please, know I mean that kindly and not in a condescending way at all! Taking your pain and sadness and using it to change and help the world is…..AWESOME! Maybe that’s not the best word to use, but you know what I mean. I am so sorry you suffered so. But I am so glad you made it through the rain and are walking along to help others.
