No One Eats Alone Day is observed every third Friday of February and this year it will be marked on February 16. The inaugural celebration began in 2012 by a handful of schools in Northern California to introduce togetherness and alleviate social and ethnic differences. By introducing No One Eats Alone Day, the idea is to encourage students to overcome any and all differences which exist in society. It encourages students to sit together at the lunch table and eat together. I have stated numerous times in my blogs that food can break barrier and that my love language is FOOD! Which is why I love this day and encourage our twins to invite kids to eat with, especially any new kids at that come to school after the original start date. The day is an initiative by Beyond Differences, a non-profit company. ‘Beyond Differences’ is a social welfare and non-profit organization that aims to inspire the youth to end social isolation. Created in the memory of Lili Rachel Smith, she suffered from a facial anomaly and was subjected to social isolation at school. Her family created a social worker organization with the sole mission to end social isolation and introduce an atmosphere of social inclusion by overcoming social differences in youth. Now one million students celebrate this day in over 2,300 schools with all 50 states participating in the day’s celebrations ensuring No One Eats Alone. Assuredly, the twins never leave out 5 Finds each week. Hopefully, they will never leave any feeling alone as well.
1. My wife and I didn’t renew our vows but we did fill out multiple private school applications and are still together!!
2. I get my streaming service plans with commercials not just so I can save some money but so that my kids get the same TV watching experience as I did when I was their age.
Also, me: pays for after school activities, private school, music lessons, sports, and shoes that they constantly grow out of!!
4. The Twins insisted on making their own lunch for school and the next part of my life be—never mind they destroyed the kitchen!!
5. I woke up and went back to sleep, I woke up again then went back to sleep, then I woke up and went back to sleep, I woke up again then went back to sleep, and then I woke up again and went back to sleep, and I woke up again and now I can’t sleep. -Conversation with Twins at 4:47 AM!!
