Travel Tuesday: Don't Forget Those That Can't Go Home.
On one of the busiest travel days of the year – Not everyone goes home for Thanksgiving. Don't forget those that can't go home….
Thousands of uniformed men and women can't return home for Thanksgiving this year. As Americans, we have to take pause to make sure our service members know we're thinking of them and are grateful for their sacrifices.
Thank our Armed Forces and their families for their sacrifices by signing the USO's card this Thanksgiving. Show Your Support!

Throwback Thursday: You're so "Chocolate Bar" – Small Kid with BIG Ideas…Changing the world one book at a time!
CHOCOLATE BAR
Changing the world one book at a time
by 8-year-old
Dylan Siegal
Dylan Siegal
I met Dylan at a YouTube SpaceLA Creator Academy course last month. Although Dylan was the youngest in our class – you could tell right away that he was not your typical 8-year-old kid.
Dylan's mission is to cure his best friend Jonah's rare disease and show kids everywhere that their big ideas can change the world.
Most of what I tried to do with Throwback Thursday is feature kids doing great things in the world. What a great kid, a great friend to Jonah and a perfect person to feature on my Thursday blog post. If only we could all remember what it was like to be fearless: To think - why not?! And then write a book that raises over a million dollars to help cure a disease. Why NOT be so "Chocolate Bar".

Women on Wednesday: American Widow Project
Every once in awhile I stumble onto a really amazing cause -
THIS group of women is perfect for The KRUSING AMERICA Women on Wednesday:
I'm sure you've heard it said that you should check online every now and again to see what's being put out there on the Internet about you. So I "Googled" my name and found someone with the same last name but with a very different story.
Miranda Kruse, wife of CPO Jerald Kruse of the US Navy is also part of American Widow Project. Which as you can imagine, means her husband passed away. Having been raised in a military family, I know all too well the sacrifices soldiers and families make for their country. But when a soldier dies - we often forget what happens to that family, particularly the spouses. Those military wives that have been holding families together now have to find a way to hold themselves together.
Which is exactly what this group does and exactly why American Widow Project is my Women on Wednesday blog post.
While the service member’s sacrifice is often acknowledged by society, many simply forget or fail to recognize the sacrifice of the spouse who is now left a grieving military widow. Oftentimes the invisible wounds of military widows are disregarded due to age or a simple lack of knowledge and understanding.
The American Widow Project recognizes the sacrifices made by the families of our fallen and believes that no military widow should feel alone in her grief. Every military widow deserves the opportunity and tangible tools available to help rebuild her life. Because of that, the American Widow Project provides the vital peer-to-peer, emotional, and educational support necessary to maximize success, healing and hope for a brighter future.

Monday Media: MISSION SAVE HER
I got involved with MISSION SAVE HER when I met a compassionate plastic surgeon donating his time to go to India to help reconstruct the faces of many young girls who have been disfigured after being human trafficked and gang raped. I'm been working with them to create a documentary to bring awareness to this worthy cause. Until that project is complete, please consider learning more by visiting the links below and support Reggie Benjamin & Eric Benet's work.
This weekend I attended a benefit to raise money for their next trip…
MISSION SAVE HER was created to educate international communities about gang rape and human trafficking while also saving girls, all over the world, from its clutches.
YOUR DONATION BENEFITS THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS
OF WOMEN AND YOUNG GIRLS IN DESPAIR.
