In this episode, I reflect upon the horrible shooting that took place in Las Vegas on October 1st. It's difficult for me, as I'm sure it is for many of you, to put my emotions and thoughts about this tragedy into words. We need to remember that, however difficult it may seem, we can find some positive in situations like this. When we look a little deeper, we can find stories of love, hope, determintation, and survival. We can also do our part to help the victims and their families. A little bit can go a long way and there are many people who could use our support. To learn where I'll be making my donation, visit the Love Army For Las Vegas page.
