Challenge #17

I could be silly with this post and say I would switch with Kenny’s current girl toy, but in all honesty If I could change places with someone for one day I truly think it would be Michelle Obama, and no Chris this is not because then I would be married to a black man( for those who don't know this was always my dream :) ). It is because I truly believe Michelle is a remarkable woman. She is strong, beautiful, smart, and very intelligent. I love the fact that she quit her job as a lawyer to have a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. She chose to do this because she believes that each of us no matter what our age or background or walk of life has something to contribute to the life of this nation. She cares about our country and our children. I love when I when watching the Disney channel with the kids and she comes on to talk about smart healthy snacks, drinking water, and exercise. I think it would be a very special opportunity to live her life and see the world through her eyes. I know some of you read this and are thinking “uggg a Democrat”, but I look at her and think an amazing woman. I think we all need to take labels off everyone and choose to like or dislike someone for who they are not for what their label says they are!

I thought it would be fun to include some quotes from Michelle. Enjoy!!

And let's be clear: It's not enough just to limit ads for foods that aren't healthy. It's also going to be critical to increase marketing for foods that are healthy.

As a mom, I know it is my responsibility, and no one else's, to raise my kids. But we have to ask ourselves, what does it mean when so many parents are finding their best efforts undermined by an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids.

Even if we give parents all the information they need and we improve school meals and build brand new supermarkets on every corner, none of that matters if when families step into a restaurant, they can't make a healthy choice.

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don't invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.

We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.
Michelle Obama

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.
