Be Extraordinary, Be You!
Forever 21, our son Randy died by Cannabis-Induced Psychosis and Suicide.
Randy started smoking marijuana at the age of 15 to find social acceptance, and quickly became an advocate for the “healing” properties of marijuana. As an individual with a busy mind, Randy enjoyed the brief period of euphoria he experienced while using.
Misled by an industry that profits off of addiction, he unknowingly and permanently damaged his brain. The result of his use, the cannabis trifecta - early age of onset of use, the frequency with which he used, and the high potency he uses, that caused his demise and we miss him dearly.
To bring awareness, inform and educate people as to the real truth about today's Marijuana (THC) and help with parents and youth that are struggling with addiction, we founded a 501(c)(3), Be Extraordinary Be You!
Why "Be Extraordinary. Be You!”?
Each of us is created uniquely with special talents, gifts, and treasures that are meant to be shared with the world. No one is just like you. You are unique, and you are extraordinary! You have to be an extraordinary person to embrace and just be yourself. We are prone to comparing ourselves with others and sometimes we want to be more like other than ourselves for many reasons. When we do compare, we always come up wanting.
It is important to remember that there is only one you. You are enough and you are loved. When we exercise self-love of our physical being, intellect, talents, emotions, and spirituality and just be our God-given selves, we are being extraordinary. Believe it or not, it is a lifelong process and journey to be extraordinary!
Instantaneous gratification and constant connectedness, help create a disconnect, and it is easy to lose sight of who you are and to feel good about who you are. Spend some time thinking about who you are, and decide whether or not you are living up to your best idea of who you are or should be—and work on it if you're not. Be true to your core identity rather than faking a different one, because you think it will be attractive to others.
Once you do that, you'll be ready to show that "you" to other people, and you'll do it in the spirit of honesty and authenticity. That is extraordinary!
