Your Life Was Not In Vain - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. King Jr., We just want you to know that your life was not in vain.
You looked at the man in the mirror and set our to make a difference in this world - and you did. Happy Born Day to you - Stevie Wonder Style!

We celebrate progress in America due to the sacrifice that you and Reverend Abernathy and the many members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) have made during the civil rights movement of the 50's - 60's here in America; Making sure that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were put into place. Ensuring certain unalienable rights of all citizens of the USA. America is a place where no one should be treated like a second class citizen - especially in their own home.

We as a Nation shall continue to make strides in the name of freedom and civil liberty and justice for all in this beautiful place called America!














Love,
C

Bringing in the New Year

The San Francisco Skyline Dec 31, 2013 

I am so glad that we have prayed out the old year and are stepping into the New Year! I am hoping that each and everyone gets an opportunity to look at what it is that each of us can do to make this world a better place. Why? Because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

I recently lost someone very dear to me. Her Memorial Service was held today, Dec 31, 2013.
She was the Bubby I always wished and hoped for. Her name is Beverly Bateman Moore.
Beverly was one of the first women in the City of Beverly Hills to befriend me. Beverly, and her sister, Florence Vinet, are two remarkable women, who paved the way for so many women to find balance in having a family and a career;  Beverly worked in the Bridal Department, at GEARYS Beverly Hills, registering thousands of Brides from all over the world, for 30+ years!
Beverly opened up her heart and showed me so much loving kindness. She touched my heart, sharing her life's experiences, enriching my life. Beverly could bake some of the most delectable chocolates. She also knitted me the best Booties in Purple, Green, Blue; I have so many pairs over the years, and they're so comfortable. Made with love.

R.I.P. Beverly Bateman Moore. I will miss you.Thank you for your loving kindness.

Love & light,
Carla
