So wrong....

Really....ok, so let me get on my soapbox for a second. Well, because after all this is my blog where I can do these types of things.  Don't get me wrong, I like my lil' piece of hollywood drama, it's my outlet where I like to get away and after all, it makes me realize that the dysfunctionalism (that a word?) that's going on in my life isn't so bad after all.  And as a matter of fact, the Kardashians topped my list.  I like them.
But, let's be honest. You spend $10 MILLION on your marriage that lasts 72 DAYS and that's ok? DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL with your money,HOLLYWOOD!!  You all know how I feel about what's going on in this world, I don't think I need go there right now. But, the next time I think about purchasing the PEOPLE magazine and US WEEKLY that used to be what got me excited come Thursdays...I'll think again. Because, let's not forget about the reports that Jessica Simpson was demanding $500,000 for the "announcement of her pregnancy"....yeah, let me throw in $5 for that PEOPLE magazine to help do that for you Jessica...Nope. 

And, we can't forget about the sports craze-because we should charge $500,000 for a "bad tweet"....
un-flippin-real!
The NBA came down hard on Miami Heat owner Micky Arison on Monday, fining him $500,000, according to league sources, after he used his Twitter account as a sounding board about the lockout last Friday. (ESPN.com)

I "get" that this is America, and I get that "that's just how it is"....but-is it reallly the "American Dream"???

Ready, Set, GO!

For a long time now I have kept telling myself "I CAN DO MORE".  I have now started my own blog for other "stuff".  A blog to be an advocate for the children, for the kids that have NOTHING.  This blog defines who I am, who I have become.  My theory is "if we can just change the life of ONE",  If I can just get ONE person to jump on board with me, to do as little or as much as they can, but to know that ONE person is doing something!  In another way it means I am also the "changing ONE".  My life has been shaken, my heart has been touched, I have been changed, the adoption world has touched me, and Ethiopia has stunned me!  If you feel at all inclined to help, to be an advocate for the children near and far, to be the change this world needs, follow along-see what's going on and see what you can do to help!
