Red Sky-Ryan Innes

For those of you who know my brother Ryan Innes he wrote a song called Red Sky which talks about how people who have been in Abusive situations are in a Red Sky and us people in a Blue Sky have nothing to worry about. People in a red sky long to be in our blue sky but they never will be! Listen to his song above, its a very emotional and moving song!

For those of you who you don't know this month is Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month! Blue represents Child Abuse therefore I am typing in blue! My sister Jillian and I got to be a part of the annual Child Abuse Awareness convention that when on this month at EAC. A big thanks for Cindi Alva and all she does for this community! She is the primary contact person for Healthy Families America and contacted me to a guest speaker at this event! The above link is my sister Jillian who sang the song Pray by Justin Bieber with Koby Alva. Its a very good song and is so true! I gave a speech on some issues I have had with friends in the past year who have dealth with Abuse and how they dealt with it. Its a nasty thing and people really need help to deal with it! Abuse comes in more ways then one! But the cool thing is is that there is hope! People can fight through there hard times and come out stronger! I've watched people do it in front of my very own eyes! It's amazing!
