    “If you’re able to make someone’s day then do it, because this world needs more love & kindness.”

    “Animals are near and dear to my heart, and I’ve devoted my life to trying to improve their lives.”

  • Robin Williams (Great Memories)

    Robin Williams

    By: Cece Hymes

    We have lost a lot of people, but we have so many memories. Do you remember Robin Williams, he was an actor and comedian.  He played in these movies:

    ·         Mrs. Doubtfire

    ·         Dead Poets Society

    ·         Jumanji

    ·         Night at the Museum

    ·         Aladdin

    ·         Hook

    ·         Flubber

    I just found out that in every movie he filmed he asked the production company to hire at least 10 homeless people. During his entire career, he helped approximately 1520 homeless people. I thought this was absolutely awesome. We never really hear about the good that people have done in the community. Here were some of his favorite quotes that I loved.

    “Don’t associate yourself with toxic people”

    “There’s a world out there….”

    “The only weapon we have is the comedy”

    What was your favorite movie that Robin Williams was in? What did you love about Robin Williams? I challenge you to watch 1 movie that he was in today and tell me about it. Even if you watched it before, just go back and watch one movie by him. I am going to watch “The Night at the Museum”.

  • Do you believe in afterlife?

    Do you believe in an afterlife? If so, what do you think happens after we pass away?

    By: Cece Hymes

    I do believe in the afterlife. When being raised we learned if you were bad you were going to hell if you were good you were going to heaven. I always thought that was going to happen. I also think it is spirits that haunt us, and some spirits look over us.

    I believe that some of my family spirits like my mother and grandmother are looking over me. I feel like sometimes when I am talking about them that they are in the room.  I am trying to live right and get my life right. I believe in doing good deeds to be entered into the gate.

    So, what are your thoughts about the afterlife? Comment below.
