Love in My Words
May 24th, 2010 by mamma
“The art of communication is difficult but definitely worth the effort especially when you see your word impact people in a positive way. I try to communicate always with my love in my heart. It does make a lot of difference. Even in heated debate love’s effect is amazing!”
Taken right out of a conversation with a wonderful friend, Leza Raley-Labrador. Upon her urging, I am now sharing it with all of you. Also - Thank you Leza for sharing this with your readers on www.thinkpeacemedia.com!

Obsession: “Twilight”
September 20th, 2009 by mamma
This was in response to a posting in Barnes & Noble website regarding the surrounding & growing obsession with “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyers
I don’t know if there is such a thing as a “healthy obsession” but just as long as it doesn’t immobilize you then I think you’re good.
There are many “older women” who enjoy the book but just aren’t so open about their interest for fear of being judged. You have a 22-yr. old actor on screen but do not forget that the character’s soul is more than half a century old! After all, it’s not all about the physical power or beauty (although it helps) that is captivating but more so the inner flame that burns within Edward & Bella. Not to mention their surrender to that fire. It’s what we all dream about, have been dreaming about. To be able to let go and live with more passion than we allow ourselves these days. It is difficult because of society’s and let’s face it, self-imposed constraints. BUT who says we can’t?! Self-control is difficult when we do not believe in ourselves but easily within reach if we do.
So are we really obsessed with the book, the movie, the actors or the feelings invoked by…?

Sneak Peek: Brandon Trentham
September 15th, 2009 by mamma
Brandon Trentham is known to be one of the most down-to-earth top male models out there. I first took notice of Brandon while I was browsing the internet for personalities to write about. Brandon’s is one of those personas that jump right out at you with much inspiration & drive to succeed. As I am researching more about him, the more I am impressed not only with the work he has done as a top male model but with the goals he has set for himself and with his passion for charity work. Click on the link & witness his giving nature first-hand by joining his team for AIDS WALK Los Angeles. And for proof that he is more than just a “pretty face”, check out his article: “Ronnell Shaw: The man behind upcoming men’s denim line Tysen Maxwell speaks” for Stylecaster.com. And so now I leave you with this little sneak peek at this beautiful man, Mr. Brandon Trentham. Let’s keep our eyes on him as he is just beginning!
“I was a young man with nothing to lose, but countless things to gain.” Trentham added. “Life is sometimes about chances and those who don’t take them may always wonder what if and I did not want to live my life with regrets.”

“Sognare Con Me” ~ “Dream With Me”

Working to breathe “Femmina Forte” to life has definitely been quite the journey thus far. Many have asked how the idea or dream of Femmina Forte came about and to tell you the truth, I am not sure I can fully nor accurately describe it. It was never one shining moment of revelation it was more a series of events, sporadic in occurrences, all leading to one dream. Even ’til this very day, Femmina Forte is ever-changing and evolving but with the one vision of living “her” life’s ultimate potential still in sight.
This story is a long one but one that I do promise to share with you soon. For now, know that I passionately believe that Femmina Forte lies in all of us. Some perhaps need inspiration to realize this dormant strength and a little encouragement to awaken. Then there are those, many out there, who already openly live this. It is those hearts and souls I seek out and will bring forth as the Inspiration WE ALL need.
