I’m back!  Happy New Year everyone!  In these days of tivo, on demand, and dvr who really watches commercials anymore?  I rarely see a commercial, and for the most part neither do my kids.  The other day for some reason (we must have had live football on) I saw this ad and got all choked up.  I LOVE it.  It took me a while to do the research to find out what it was all about.  I thought for sure it was supposed to be selling something.  Nope, it is a really cool non-profit company called the Foundation for a Better life  that simply spreads good messages.  How awesome is that?  When I looked at the website I fell in love.  I am now going to sign up for their free daily quote and monthly newsletter.  It seems hard to find good news in the media lately and this group only posts positive things. 

Here are a few things I took from their site which I find really great:

Our sole objective is to promote positive values, using print and broadcast media.

We want the stories we share about the actions of others to inspire someone to do one thing a little better, and then pass on that inspiration. While a few individuals living values-based lives seems small, collectively they will make the world a better place.

Since this is what Chickatees is all about I have decided to share this link with you for my first post in 2010.  Enjoy.
