Which is the Greatest Tragedy? In Honor of Martin Luther King Jr.

In the United States of America, we officially recognize and observe the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. on the third Monday of January every year.  Many people all around the world are familiar with the non-violent protests and related efforts spearheaded by this activist which ultimately resulted in the passing of the Civil Rights Act.  It was a tragic day in America when he was cut down by an assassin’s bullet.

To celebrate his birthday and honor his memory, I am sharing a statement he made that has taken root in my psyche.  It inspires me to be fearless and dream the dream he dreamed.

Which is the greatest tragedy?

(A) To do things that you should NOT have done.

(B) To NOT do things that you should have done..

Decided on What to Wear for Halloween? Use Your B-Day to Decide.

Having trouble deciding on a costume to celebrate Halloween? Here's a fun exercise! Found the B-day chart below shared via Facebook by 95.7 KJR, radio station that plays Seattle's Greatest Hits of the 60s, 70s and 80s and home of Bob Rivers!  (Or the former home of Mr. Rivers.  He retired about a month ago.)  This is so fun!!  It turns out I'm a Screaming Cheerleader, which is not that far from the real me! :)

It seems that I am married a Gruesome Vampire. (Nothing could be further from the truth.)

As for my sons and daughters? Apparently, I've given birth to a:

• Gruesome Superhero, Werewolf, and Cavewoman;
• Screaming Cheerleader (yes! I have a child born on my birthday);
• Screaming Barbie;
• Chilling Prom Queen and Ghost;
• Dead Pirate and Dead Ghost (???);
• Spooky Geek; and
• Terrifying Clown.  (Halloween2016.  Clowns not allowed.)

Actually?  Out of all of these, the Spooky Geek is spot on!

* * * Need some costume ideas?

• Be a Witch! It's Tradition!
• Dress Like a Pirate
• Be an Egyptian Belly Dancer
• PopOut Dressed Like the Genie in the Bottle
• Wear this Halloween / Christmas / Masquerade Party Mask (and nothing else!) - For your husband, of course! :)

Dress up like a queen for Halloween? ~ My personal pick is this Marie Antoinette-style gown. But there are many others to choose from.
