Brides Against Breast Cancer

Today, while I was walking with my neighbors...my friend mentioned how she has decided to donate her wedding dress to Brides Against Breast Cancer. I have never heard of this organization....and I'm upset that I haven't till now. After reading thru their site...I am super impressed with the organization. Not only does another bride to be get to wear a gorgeous gown for fraction  of the cost...but somewhere a man or woman with stage IV terminal breast cancer will get a dream or wish come true! The simple act of donating your gown...can make a powerful impact on others... 

 So, if you are not sure what to do with your dress... maybe this is the right choice for you! 

After today...it makes me think...there are GOOD people in our world doing GOOD things for people everyday...sometimes I forget that...especially after watching the evening news..

Take A Stand!

That is, against texting and using a hand-held cell phone while driving. I caught an excellent episode of Oprah the other night and she shared several tragic stories. The drivers were sending texts messages or using a hand-held device.

Yes, I am guilty of this! On a very serious note, I feel incredibly lucky that I have not caused an accident or worse a death. We take a lot of chances simply driving on the road everyday..why raise the stakes?

There are only 6 states that do not allow hand-held cell phone and 19 states which prohibit texting, which simply amazes me! I live in California and both are a major NO NO! We are allowed to use a blue tooth or hands free device. But I still see tons of drivers on the major highways holding up the phone to their ear... The fines are outrageous as well!

I also highly recommend clicking on over to Oprahs website to listen to stories of families who have lost loved ones due to drivers texting while driving! It is a 15min segment. It will seriously make you think the next time you grab your phone on the road.

What are the rules for your State?! Click on over HERE, Very informative!

TAKE THE PLEDGE!

I have taken the pledge! No more texting while driving! Hands-free ONLY! Please join me in this serious matter! Click on over HERE to pledge!



I usually do not post topics like this, but I felt like it was really important to spread this information. Please comment on your opinions...thoughts... I highly encourage those to watch the segment off Oprah's website.
