There is no doubt of the existence of human suffering all over the world.  What I find hopeful & inspiring is that there are also many people & organizations all over trying their best to offer assistance to those in need.  Below are three highlights of celebrities working through the Red Nose USA Foundation bringing awareness from different parts of the world.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, my Mom-in-law, my Mom friends & all the Moms out there doing the absolute best they can to protect their children and help them live the best life possible. Sometimes, life is in the trying. Please click here for more.

And to my children….thank you for being such great kids! I didn’t say perfect because that would be strange & I don’t even know what that means. But you’re both fabulous, funny, & forever entertaining. You’re both always & forever in my prayers so keep on keeping on….

My Mom, a.k.a. Lola, is the greatest example of unconditional love. We are Blessed to have her.

So Blessed to have my Mom-In-Law....her patience is unbridled.

Thank you to all Mothers!!!!  May you feel the love that you deserve!

Through One's Eyes

So, for me, there is no argument involved in the existence of the gender wage equality gap that currently plagues our society.  Men, more often than not, get paid higher wages than women for the same job/responsibilities. You can either argue that this is wrong or you can maintain that it’s fair because men deserve to be paid higher in any situation. (Frankly, my opinion is so far from that last part that it was even hard for me to type it.)

Love is Beautiful

So, I enjoy Twitter & one of my favorite things to do is look up celebrities I admire to see what they feel important enough to post. Sometimes I tweet them & receive “favorites” or “retweets” from fellow fans or very occasionally from the celebrities themselves (hello to Dylan McDermott , Allyson Stoner, Ally Maki, Scout Willis among a few others). I make it a point to never tweet anything negative or insulting because, frankly, there’s enough of that saturating the internet already.

Easter's Teachable Moment

When I woke up this morning, I imagined that I would be feeling much differently after attending Easter Service.  I even mentally planned what Twitter Post I would be giving–something to the likes of “Feeling renewed. #Alleluia! #EasterMass #Catholic”–with a picture of the altar attached….you know, something like that. Instead, I’m in a bit of that “reeling” moment–feeling angry and upset. Click here for more.

Egg Rock 'N Roll Event

I’d like to give a proud shout-out to my 12 year old today for his hard work at the Egg Rock ‘N Roll Event in downtown Long Beach today.  His main duties were to supervise the children and make sure the area was kept relatively clean.  He was able to fulfill some service hours for school, & I believe he had a pretty good time too.   Click here for more!
