Fire Safety

Today I am writing a very personal post ... to capture my feelings this week.

A business colleague and fellow marketing devotee suffered a very tragic loss on Christmas Day from a horrible fire in her home.  Her loss is beyond comprehension.  I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through.  I feel so lost in my emotions ... don't know quite what to do.

So in her honor, I talked to my family about fire safety.  We literally spoke about what to do in the event of a fire and specific ways to get out of the house.  We tend to have a lot of teenage friends in the house, many of them sleeping over so I talked to all of them too.  I felt so much better doing that.

I encourage you to do the same.  Change the batteries in the smoke detectors and make sure you have evacuation routes planned out with your family.  It's vitally important.  Here's a website to help you prepare.

Happy Holidays to you all ... please stay safe at home and on the road.
