In about thirty days, I'll finally have about two and half month off of work off. I'll be so excited since there's some amazing stuff that I really want to work on. First, +The Silent Grapevine is starting to become successful. I cannot tell you how excited I am about the +The Silent Grapevine team. If you haven't check out +The Silent Grapevine I highly recommend that you do. The vast amount of information on the website is amazing and you will be surprised on what is going on with the deaf community. I believe that +The Silent Grapevine is the one and only newsite that writes about controversial issues that are ongoing in the deaf community. I love our mission statement that was written by our own and talented +Mary Pat Withem. 
The mission of The Silent Grapevine (TSG) is to serve our viewers by providing reliable, valuable, and important Deaf community oriented information in every newcast. We search for facts, dig deeper for important news, and strive to constantly add excellent staff members that are able to accurately present all sides of the story. TSG analyzes situations to enable the community to hold all parties accountable.
I also believe that people need to start coming out and to stop hiding behind the technological advances that we have made in our society and get back to meeting face to face to talk about tough issues that will need to be thought out intelligently to make sure that we are leaving our future children in good hands. These issues need to be talked about. These issues need to be balanced. These issues need to be fully understood within the future implications for our children in the future. 

Technology has always and will always move at a faster pace and even so today, it will be nearly impossible to keep up.  Can you believe fifty years ago, during the civil rights movement, that movement that also helped paved the way for the ADA if they had the technology we have today, how further they might have gone? 

I am happy to be living in this age. An age where tolerance for each other has been at a much higher standard than before. An age where we can respect people of all races, of all sexuality, of all ideas, and be able to bond for the common good for everyone in the world. 

Thus, I ask you this. What are you ideas? What are your hopes and dreams for the deaf community? Ten years from now? Twenty years from now? An hundred years from now? 

Yes. The time to ask these questions is now.
