Re-Post: The Middle-Class Tax Cuts’ Impact on HISPANIC-AMERICAN FAMILIES

Today on a Conference call with President Barack Obama, we Latino Leaders were asked to help find out: What does #MY2K means for you? How will an income TAX rise of 2K affect you? 
Please leave your message on this post or the Link Below.

I know what how 2K can help me in my everyday household… I can only imagine how much this will help others. Please tell your story on how 2K will help your household, your family, and your life to the White House: HERE

People go through a lot on the Holidays

People go through a lot in the holidays…

We have shopping, fighting with someone who took the last toy, we have parents and kids getting silly, we have pumpkin pie fights (LOL), flour in the kitchens fights for fun. We have work, vacation, planning vacations, cleaning the house, being with kids, what else?   (let me know, I’d love to make the list bigger)…

It is the season where you remember your family, friends, loved ones, losses, sad, happy, joy filled, wacky moments you spent with you family and friends. A lot of people tend to reflect on the past and tend to stay there for a while.

If you have happy memories, enjoy them.

If you feel like you are having harsh memories, Remind yourself of this:

You are able to read this blog right now, think about the fact that you are blessed to be. Plain and simple. Being is a miracle for us everyday. If we didn’t have air, we could not be.

Everyday is a blessing.

I have to be thankful for your support, your reads and your likes. I appreciate you.

I’m making rum balls this holiday… will place the recipe out soon!

To Life!

Cheers,

#Ivotebecause…

I’m a woman with morals. I’m also an independent woman. I am a woman who has pre-existing conditions. I am a woman who loves to be able to work and be the boss. I am the woman who loves other cultures. I am a woman who knows God LOVES us ALL. I am a woman who does not want to go back to the 50’s because I like me now. I am a woman who knows I am no one to throw the first stone and judge because we…were given our own will. I am a woman who believes that Unions should have a voice. I am a woman who is God Fearing. I am a woman who went to Planned Parenthood when she had no insurance to get treated by amazing Doctors. I’m a woman who is into science who knows that one day my daily arthritic pain will be cured with research. I am a woman. I am a woman that is voting to re-elect president OBAMA.

The need for #Health and #Sustainability

In my thoughts…
I’m amazed that people are quick to judge about health and green.  In the current elections I hear that we (middle class, low SES) do not need health and green from the Romey’s party…
I read how Obama wants to create more jobs, for us to be greener and have access to health. To create MORE Jobs in this country. Yet, other people (some Romney supporters) negate that fact that we need Health and Green in your lives. This is what it comes down to if you think with logic.
Well– here is your warning people. This earth is closing in and if we continue without the GREEN initiatives, we won’t be at all WAY sooner than later. #Sandy was a warning… It’s time for you to Take Action!
And regarding health, think populations, not just about yourself. How many people can we help with ObamaCare?  Answer: A LOT!  Stop being selfish when it comes to allowing the poor, the middle class, you and me have access to health.
November 6, 2012 is around the corner! And please don’t forget GREEN and HEALTH are at stake…
Help keep this world Healthy and Sustainable.

Side Note:
I’m amazed on how Humans can be so resilient in this world. It gets me every time, though my heart is filled with positivity and hope. They/We Go through soooo much and are able to stand together and Make a difference in each other’s life. My heart gets torn just a little bit more when I see the devastation that #Sandy did in the east coast… and in the pictures, the tears in people eyes make me tear up too. God continue to bless you and allow you to use the strength you already have.

LATISM and Johnson & Johnson

Have you ever wondered what  Johnson & Johnson does? 

This year I was a the LATISM (Latinos in social media) Conference and J&J where there!!
I was so happy to see them on being part of this Conference.  Something I did not know is that J&J is also Neutragena. I was soooo amazed as I have written before, I love!!! Love !! Love!! Neutragena as I’ve been using it since I was 13 years old.

I also learned that they have awesome initiatives going on ALL OVER the world! 

This is some of what they do:

Saving & Improving Lives
Saving & Improving LivesWe support programs for women and children who struggle to survive in places with limited health care, education or social support.
Healthcare Development and Training
Building Health Care CapacityWe partner with respected groups to build the skills of people who serve community health needs, primarily through education.
Preventing Diseases
Preventing DiseasesWe work with communities to prevent chronic disease like HIV/AIDS and diabetes, and help people cope with the stigmas of disease and mental illness.

I’m always amazed on how wonderful and giving J&J is to the community. I acknowledged their efforts and defiantly would like to work with them.

Thank you for being part of our communites and for being part of LATISM. www.latism.org

@Barackobama Thoughts on #Sandy

Send out

“Jessica —

This is a serious storm, but we are going to do what it takes to keep people safe and secure, and make sure the communities affected get the assistance they need. FEMA is working with state and local governments to respond effectively. We all owe a debt of thanks to the first responders who will be dealing with the immediate impact of the storm.

If you live in the storm’s path, please listen to state and local authorities about where and how to take shelter and stay safe — and encourage your friends and family to do the same. If you are asked to evacuate, please take that seriously.

For more information on how to prepare for this storm, visit Ready.gov.

And if you’d like to find out how to support relief efforts where they’re needed most, please visit the Red Cross or your local relief organization:

Michelle and I are keeping everyone in the affected areas in our thoughts and prayers. Be safe.

Barack”

Putting the people first. Thats My Kind of President!
