Why Good Friday?

Image
Holy Week is nearing a close and today is Good Friday, 3 days before Easter, the day in which Jesus was resurrected from the dead. For many years even though I call myself a Christian, I never really understood why.  As I attended my first Good Friday Service, it helped me to put things into perspective and gave me clarity to some unanswered questions.Why do we sacrifice something during Lenten season, and attend Good Friday services at noon? What's with the Hot Cross buns? Without sounding too "preachy", I would like to give my take on it.  Traditionally speaking, it is the Day when Jesus was crucified, dead and buried. Between the hours of noon and 3:00pm he was nailed to the cross. Most of us now the story of how he rode though the city of Jerusalem on a donkey that until then had never been ridden. Previously everyone shouted "Save Us"!  but on this day they shouted "Crucify Him"! Not knowing that the only way to be saved, was through the Cro...

Fight For Air Climb

Today my team and I are participating for the first time in the American Lung Association's Fight for Air Climb. We have a goal to climb all 63 floors (1400 steps) of the 2 nd  tallest building in DTLA. On a more personal note, I am climbing for the following people that have touched my life, who have suffered from some form of lung cancer or lung disease.

Kuumba Divine Jewelry

Image
Kuumba means "Creativity", and as my featured artist, her Jewelry line is nothing short of it's name, "Kuumba Divine Jewelry" Ever since I have known Kuumba she has been making jewelry. It must have started from the lack of eccentricity in the necklaces, earrings and bracelets that she refused to purchase during the 90's. There had to be something better out there, but there wasn't, and so it began. Being the inner hippie that she is, she always had the need to add her own creative Kuumba touch to the universe.  Years later in 2002 Kuumba Divine Jewelry was born. As the sole Founder/Owner/Designer, she has created from hand, fine jewelry that is so authentic that it can immediately be identified as a Kuumba Divine design when you see it.  Her fine jewelry line is clearly inspired by things that exist in nature, such as the wings of a butterfly, the bark of a tree or even the shape of an avocado. Additionally, the earthly metals and rare stones ...

Rescued Child

Yesterday as I left work, walking to my parking lot I noticed a little boy who appears to be about 5 years old. He walked out of the Victoria Secret store and was wandering aimlessly down the street. I observed his behavior and my instinct kicked in that something was just not right. I walked to catch up to him and asked him "where is your mommy?" He turned and looked at me puzzled and attempted to keep walking. I stopped him again and asked the same question.  "Where is your mommy?" I was hoping she was in the Victoria Secret store I'd seen him just walk out of and that at any moment she'd come out and snatch his hand, like we mothers do when we feel our child has gone too far away from us. Instead he responded, "in a hotel." I responded, repeating what he said "a hotel?" He says "Yes, a Hospital hotel." Now I am puzzled, but know that it could be a possibility since we were are about 3 blocks from the medical center. At that m...
