I'm thinking that it might be a great idea to pause for a few seconds every day to think about something for which we are grateful. Gratitude inspires kindness and connection. I am most grateful for the power of choice. Every day we make thousands of choices about our thoughts, our feelings and our actions. Each choice brings with it it's own consequences. Some … [Read more...]

Something Special for Your Hubby for Christmas!
Hey, Gals! Here’s Something Special for Your Hubby for Christmas!

I'm not talking about sexting a quick selfie photo here. I'm talking about a classy and sexy photograph present of yourself, less … [Read more...]

Moroccan Laws Requiring Women To Marry Their Rapists
End Moroccan Laws Requiring Women To Marry Their Rapists Target: King Mohammed VI Goal: Remove laws requiring victims of sexual abuse to marry their attackers from Moroccan law. In Morrocco, laws force women and young girls to marry their rapists. Despite promises from the Morroccan government to overturn this law, it still remains on the books and rape victims continue to be terrorized by their rapists. A number of survivors of sexual violence have committed suicide in recent months when … [Read more...]

Did you know there are 27 million slaves in the world today?

CELEBRATION HOUSE™ celebrates Shayne Smith – NOV 28
Shayne Smith has spent most of the 24 years of his life proving people wrong. Those people range from doctors who didn't give him much of a chance to live after Mr. Smith contracted a form of meningitis at just four months old, to coaches who watched as it took four years for him to sink his first shot in wheelchair basketball, a sport he went on to star in for Canada at the national junior level. Through it all, even friends and family had doubts as he moved forward in life without both … [Read more...]
