Light It Up Blue!!

April is Autism Awareness Month. I don’t frankly know anyone with autism, but I do know how lucky I am to say that. (And if you follow me on Twitter, you probably can tell how fortunate I am... I've been tweeting a lot of #lightitupblue this month.)  It’s a growing problem and a condition that affects millions of families. My sorority, Alpha Xi Delta, is a proud partner of Autism Speaks, and thus I also pledged to LIGHT IT UP BLUE! for Autism all month long.

I hear someone already lit up the Empire State Building in cool blue tones, so I guess I better find time to paint the master bedroom this month, don’t you?

Who’s up for a paint party in the next week?!?!?

In all seriousness, please consider going to check out Autism Speaks and pledging, too.  You don't even have to give money - donate your status update, your Facebook profile pic or a tweet.  I'll thank you in advance for the millions of kids who may not be able to express their appreciation themselves.
