Good times!!! If you get a chance…check out Phoenix, Thievery Corporation, Deadweather, Ghostland Observatory, Kings of Leon, Passion Pitt, Citizen Cope…those are only a few of the wonderful sounds we heard….

On Monday, I quit my job @ VTG. I worked there for 6 years and with the economy I felt it was time for a new change. I found a new job w/ a marketing/media group and I feel it is going to be a great move. I’m so excited to start something new and for a change. It’s so easy to get stagnate and comfortable with what you are doing, but when you decide it’s time to move on and start something new it is very exhilarating! I look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Mastectomy Law Change-very important! very powerful
(written by a surgeon)
I’ll never forget the look in my patients eyes when I had to tell them
they had to go home with the drains, new exercises and no breast. I
remember begging the doctors to keep these women in the hospital
longer, only to hear that they would, but their hands were tied by the
insurance companies.
So there I sat with my patient giving them the instructions they
needed to take care of themselves, knowing full well they didn’t grasp
half of what I was saying, because the glazed, hopeless, frightened
look spoke louder than the quiet ‘Thank you’ they muttered.
A mastectomy is when a woman’s breast is removed in order to remove
cancerous breast cells/tissue. If you know anyone who has had a
mastectomy, you may know that there is a lot of discomfort and pain
afterwards. Insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an
outpatient procedure. Let’s give women the chance to recover properly
in the hospital for 2 days after surgery.
This Mastectomy Bill is in Congress now. It takes 2 seconds to do this
and is very important. Please take the time and do it really quick!
The Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill is important legislation for
all women.
Please send this to everyone in your address book. If there was ever a
time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those
times. If you’re receiving this, it’s because I think you will take
the 30 seconds to go to vote on this issue and send it on to others
you know who will do the same.
There’s a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which
will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital
stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It’s about eliminating the
‘drive-through mastectomy’ where women are forced to go home just20a
few hours after surgery, against the wishes of their doctor, still
groggy from anesthesia and sometimes with drainage tubes still
attached.
Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web page with a
petition drive to show your support. Last year over half the House
signed on. PLEASE! Sign the petition by clicking on the web site
below. You need not give more than your name, email, state and zip code number.
