26 Tuesdays: James Mattioli
Note: It is sad that, as we celebrate the lives of those lost at Sandy Hook Elementary, there are many more lives lost because of the tragedies in Boston and West. As we do acts of kindness for these victims, let us also do good in memory of those lost through these more recent events. And most of all, let us reach out to those who may be feeling left out or victimized by our society so that future tragedies like these stop happening. We must encourage better thinking!
Last week’s 26 Tuesdays honoree was Ana Marquez-Greene. Ana had a great voice and her brother played piano and her dad was a jazz musician. Music is a big part of our family life as well. So, this week I decided to make a contribution to one of my favorite schools and their jazz education program.
So, that puts our count at 30 so far. What did you do for your act of kindness this week? I hope to take our tally and submit it to the 26 acts FB page when we have featured all 26 victims here, so be sure to let me know that you participated.
Today’s honoree is James Mattioli. Here is what CNN had to say about James:
Count one more for Ana. And J (James) will be an easy one. Sounds like he was a typical fun loving little boy.
Thanks, Tawnya! I think I look forward to hearing about what you chose to do for James. Sounds like you already have ideas. 🙂
