... hopefully the same thing that the *nation* is talking about this *month*: how it is national child abuse prevention month.
Florida is one of the states that does so via the proliferation of blue pinwheels (similar to the ribbons of various colors, it's a token to help increase awareness).
Of course, if you weren't AWARE that this was a thing (like I wasn't until today's post), the first step might just be starting to spread the word.
But more importantly than all the pinwheel gardens that may be sprouting up around the country, with the statistic that one report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds, it's important that each of us in the "village" knows the signs, knows how to take action, and knows how essential it is to commit to standing up and protecting the lives of the most innocent in this crazy crazy world in which we survive only by becoming a community.
