My name is Christal. I am starting this blog with a motive to show people that life is better than the media portrays. Every night I watch the news in horror of what is happening. I live in Chicago, IL, which has been called "the murder capital of the United States." The media portrays my city as a place filled with violence, death, decay, corruption, malice, greed and treachery.
I firmly believe, however, that the more we see of this destruction, the more accustomed we grow to negativity. We walk around expecting bad news. We look forward to it.
I believe we have to change our perspective and focus in on the good things that are happening all around us every day.
This blog will be dedicated to the wonderful things that make life worth living. There will be light shed on many different things-- outreaches, fundraisers for good causes, but not just the "good deed" type of events. This blog will also focus on everyday life occurrences that go overlooked too often-- the honor roll student, the honest family business, educated young people, people of different ethic, racial, economic, and religious backgrounds coming together for a meal or fellowship.
It is a fact the this city, this nation and this world sees many cloudy days full of anger, death, loss, and devastation. But there is a silver lining and I want to help you see it.
Blessings!
