Last week I took the pledge to help women and girls achieve their ambitions. What do you pledge to do?

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and I feel that your mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you or someone you know are having mental health issues please get help as soon as you can. There are Mental Health Professionals that are there to discuss your concerns with and help you with what you are going through. The longer you wait to get help, the more likely it is that the condition will get worse. I know that it is still a taboo topic but it is so important to talk about it and to get people the help that they need.
Whether you just need someone to talk to through therapy or feel you may need alternative or prescription medications please don’t be afraid to seek help. If you have been going through something for awhile now such as depression, you may be pleasantly surprised by how big of a change can occur if you find the right therapist and/or treatment. Know that you are not alone in this and that it is ok for you to find something that works for you.

Have there been events when you’ve turned to social media over traditional media or vice versa?
Social Media has really been the place that I turn to for most events. It just seems that I tend to get a lot more out of it and come out feeling more informed when I turn to Social Media instead of Traditonal Media. Based on what I have seen others say online I am not alone in feeling this way. People turn to Social Media when there are events happening so that they can be informed as well as to join in on any discussion that may be taking place. (more…)

How do you get your news right now? How does it differ from 10 years ago?
As things seemingly get crazier in the news I have noticed myself less likely to seek out the news. Getting updated on the latest world happenings is important to me, however, too many horrible things continue to happen and I can only consume so much of it at a time. Even though I do not actively go looking for it, news stories do eventually make their way into my life.
If I look back 10 years I believe that I was still occasionally reading newspapers and watching the nightly news. Outside of that friends, family, co-workers and the radio were usually the sources that gave me the most information. When I was working customers would also bring events up in conversations. For example: when Michael Jackson died it was customers that brought it to my attention. I thought it was some type of hoax and it wasn’t until later that evening when I did some research that I found out it was true. I often didn’t hear about major events until days or even weeks later.

So… I have noticed that Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day has ruffled some feathers. All over Twitter and the interwebs people (mostly men) are complaining about why there needs to be any day or *gasp* a month that honors women in any way.
So I ask you… Why do you think people have a problem with the idea of honoring women?

If you have a blog, you have a platform and a voice. Use today to talk about the cause most important to your heart.
There are a lot of important causes out there so I am just going to chose a foundation to write about. The foundation I chose to focus on today is one that I know has changed the lives of many children which includes my youngest sister. (more…)
