This started out as my blog about all things random: condiments, Gilmore Girls, books, and dreams. It's still pretty random. I still love ketchup and still dream of living in Stars Hollow, but now I mostly write about books, my sweetheart, and our son. Can you blame me? I'm an English teacher that fell in love and became a stay-at-home mom. Happy reading and welcome to the chaos!

Heroes
I have so many types of heroes. One group of people that are heroes of mine are those dedicated to the cause of Invisible Children and ending the nightmarish existence of child soldiers in central Africa.
Nate Henn was one of those people dedicated to the cause. He was a great guy who just wanted to make the world a better place. Nate died in the terrorist attack that occurred in Uganda during one of the final matches of the World Cup. What I love about Nate and the peoeple around him is the renewed resolve in the face of tragedy. We can make the world better. We just need to take the time to do it.
