Are you voting today? It’s Election Day in Michigan, but with no statewide races and the presidential election still a year away, turnout is expected to be low. Here’s why I never miss a chance to cast my vote -- no matter how “small” the election is.

This Mother’s Day I will pour myself a mimosa and toast all of you who have taken the time to help this mom manage to get through all of the things life throws our way. Cheers to all of you!
