The Matthew Shepard Foundation

I was looking for charities yesterday and happen to come across the Matthew Shepard Foundation. This story really struck me when it first happened and also when I re-read it today. This website is for all hate crimes, whether religous, race, or sexual orientation. This website has hotlines for teens who feel like they want to run away from home and also had a hot line for teens who want to commit suicide because the don't know how to deal with being different. It is a great website and I wanted to put it out there for everyone to see. Please take a look at it and please let anyone you know who is struggling with issues of hate to check it out.

Another Charity

Ok, so I have found another charity that I think is very good! It is called Hannah & Friends. Hannah is the daughter of Notre Dame Football Coach Charlie Weis & his wife. She was born with kidney problems which later continued into more problems as she got older. The foundation gives grants to familie in Indiana and Rhode Island who have adults or children living in the home with special needs. They are also planning a charity to build new houses for Adults with special needs. Please check it out!

New fun Stuff

Ok I took this picture just above of the solar cat light and cropped just the light and changed the hue to pink in one picture and left it green in the other. Then I used software and manipulated the light images into the other 2 really cool pictures.

Sorry it's been a while

Well, lots of things have happened since my last post. I had a scare a couple weeks ago when I had shooting pain down my left arm along with nausea and chest pains. I went to the ER and they said it was inflammation since I had already had that a year before. But deep in my gut "I" knew it wasn't that. I felt nothing like the last time I had inflammation. So I am scheduled to have a stress test later this month. Then the next Monday my son got pneumonia for the 3rd time this year. Poor guy was throwing up all night. Luckily he knows to go to the potty to do it now. It was bad when he was younger and would hold onto me and just do it all over my shoulder. Poor little guy. Then, I suddenly developed these unusual whelps on my legs arms stomach and back. I went to the doctor and they of course had no idea what they were. They weren't itchy or sore so that eliminated quite a few things. They tested me for Lyme's Disease and I am still waiting for my test results. We have also had to hold off on the baby making, one because the above mentioned but I am also very irregular now that I took my IUD out. I have nowever started my own website to start selling my photography. I found out about this cool website called Etsy while reading an ABC news report on at home jobs. So please check it out and let me know what you think and please purchase something.
