texting revolution

i just posted about jamie oliver's food revolution. this is about another very serious revolution. of course oprah is in charge but the law is on her side (not the other way around). she is trying to get everyone to sign a no phone zone pledge for their car. in a lot of states, like hawaii, it is illegal to talk on your phone or text and drive but you know people do it anyway. i am trying really hard to stop and to stop my family from doing it. on oprah they did studies and found out your brain cannot multitask that way, it is equivalent to drinking and driving. today she has a big thing on it on her show. the real reason i am posting about this is because of my sister in law richelle's mother mary lou.

this past weekend she was walking through walmarts parking lot in hurricane,utah (close to st. george) and although i haven't gotten all of the details, she was hit by a teenager in her truck texting on her phone. she did not see her and slammed into her. she had to be life flighted to salt lake city. she has a bleed in her brain and cannot move her head or her right leg. she was just moved out of ICU which is a good sign. our prayers are with her.

how many times do you just think, it's just a short text or i am in a parking lot! i need to do better, i need to stop.

say a prayer for mary lou.

update, i guess oprah's big announcement was that april 30th is no phone zone day, thought it would be much more.
