Day 159: Bits Of Positivity

I first wanted to share as a reminder, that this blog is here to in no way glorify my own name, but instead inspire others by showing how simple it can be to make a difference. With that said, I LOVE when people suggest or ask if I can do something for a cause that they are passionate about.

A few days ago, a friend of mine messaged me on Facebook and asked if I could share this incredible page. The Facebook Page is called Little Bits of Positivity and is a "veterans & others mental health support group." This was a page started by a friend of the friend who contacted me. Since being created, it has flourished into a non-profit organization. The following is what Meghan had informed me:
"My friend from basic training started a positivity page on Facebook which turned into a non profit organization for anyone (specifically focusing on military/veterans) with mental health disorders. she just took donations to get it started, but it'd be great if you could check it out!"

I strongly encourage everyone to check out the page, like the page and stay up to date with their latest information. You can visit the page by clicking here. If you are feeling extra generous, you can donate a few dollars to fund Mia-Talia Lowe push to keep Little Bits of Positivity's voice heard! Even a few dollars, like I donated, will help! 

On a side note, I just want to say thank you so much to Meghan who serves in the United States Air Force. Thank you for what you are doing for this country and thank you for sharing this organization with us. 
(Meghan and me years ago!) 

God bless,
Kailee

Day 156: Showed My Stripes

This afternoon, I was driving home from school while listening to iHeart radio. An interesting commercial came on that caught my attention. It was a campaign presented by iHeart radio called "Show Your Stripes- Hire Smart, Hire Vets." Basically, the radio is pushing for businesses to hire veterans that are looking for jobs. The site is a place where veteran's can share their success stories, where businesses can search for vets to hire and where supporters can vow to support businesses that have hired vets within the area. That is the cool thing about this site, all the information is targeted for anarea near you.

This is so so so simple. I believe that if you believe in our troops and veterans, you should show your support as well. All you have to do is go to the site linked above and pledge to support. No money, no real time commitment, just a few seconds of your day.

Day 48: Miss Spokane is..

Today has been a crazy long day, but a fantastic one at that! I ended up walking away with first runner up to Miss Spokane! I'm quite exhausted so we will make this short, sweet and to the point.


I am so proud of all of the girls. Especially, your new Miss Spokane Hannah Cvancara! I figured it would be an excellent opportunity to feature her on my blog. Her platform works with Disabled American Veterans. I was able to find this website online to donate to! Such a great cause, great person and great year she has ahead of her!

Now...time for sleep!

Update: A photo of Hannah & I.

Love, Kailee
