Hey Friend

I wasn't always a massive Halloween honk. I still don't have a yard full of gravesites or skeletons. 

And I was certainly never a hater. I recall my wife and I once checking out a church (sans kids) and one of the fellow members shared that Halloween was an evil Holiday. Um, what?!

It's only been the last few years that I've converted to the importance of Halloween as arguably the best holiday! 

Stay with me... 

• 4th of July is all about freedom, cookouts, and partying. 

• Thanksgiving is about family. 

• Valentines Day is for couples. 

• Memorial Day and Labor Day are significant for the calendar and welcoming of seasons. 

• Christmas is well, Christmas. 

• And I don't need to share with you the importance of Arbor Day! 

When we can see past the costume, we will witness the magic that Halloween is way more important than just candy. 

Halloween is not about your country, state, or even town. October 31st is about your little carved out pumpkin of a community! 

Don't we all remember "that" house that gave out full-sized snickers or cans of soda? No one outside of your own community is privy…

When do we ever walk up to your neighbors house and say hello? And expect a gift. 

Halloween is a day of welcoming your entire community to come up to your front door and give them something for just being part of it.

It's an evening of walking with neighbors, sharing with neighbors, and seeing those who we might not have otherwise. 

This newsletter and mission is all about Mental Toughness, and confidence happens within us when we are connected to others. 

Tis' the season to make sure you celebrate it with your community. Besides, If "we are all in this together" then let's show solidarity with our kids at least for one special evening.

This isn't a mission statement or proclamation, it's a simple request for all to connect.
