   This is such an important message! Thanks for spreading it.

   (Would you believe that a young woman who was texting while driving crashed into my sister-in-law’s HOUSE last month? Thank goodness her youngest kids [teens] and preschooler grandkids weren’t in the yard.)

   After the third person congratulated me on getting a new car, I thought I’d just clear the air. Unfortunately, that fancy car in the video is not mine—but rather someone who was helping me film :-) A clean space (even the glove box!!) to demonstrate where we can deposit our phones before we drive. My car? Full of crumbs, abandoned socks, and deflated sports balls…

   I even needed that reminder. Sometimes I feel like a slave to my phone…it even dings when a new email comes in. I’m going to try and put it in the glove box tomorrow and see how that goes.

   Thanks for the reminder!
