Happy Cinco De Mayo
Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Being a REALTOR & a parent, I spend many hours a day in my vehicle. While in my car I listen to my music all day long. I am the silly person that you notice at a stoplight who is singing loudly in their car. Sometimes I can be caught car dancing as well.
Today as I listened to John Mayer's "Waiting on the World to Change" I thought about those folks out there that are not "waiting" but that are actually "doing". Life is too short to wait on anything, especially when there is so much to do to make the world a better place.
So as I celebrate Cinco de Mayo (commemorating the victory of the Mexician militia over the French army at the "Battle of Puebla" in 1862 and should not to be confused w/Mexico's Independence Day which is actually Sept. 16th. )
I would also liked to celebrate the following people and events:
Indianapolis Race for the Cure
On April 17, 2010 Indianapolis painted the town PINK!! There were more than 41,000 men, women and children walking or running to help find a cure for breast cancer. The Indianapolis Race for the Cure is the 6th biggest Komen race in the country, so that says so much about the compassion and concern Hoosiers have for others.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure's Indianapolis chapter hoped to raise more than $2 million, and thanks to you, it met that goal! Check out this video-->Indianapolis Race for the Cure
Homeless Man asked to live on a Billboard
On April 27, 2010 The "I Am Here" project placed a homeless man on a billboard to raise money & awareness for the homeless. Danny's story-->> I AM HERE Getting Danny on the Billboard -->> Billboard Launch
Mobile Loaves & Fishes asked people to text a $10 donation to help Danny. The event was a huge success!! Now Danny & his wife, Maggie have a home. This just shows that a $10 donation can make a difference!!
World Give Day
Yesterday, May 4th, 2010 was World Give Day ! Although the response to WGD was strong on social media sites such as twitter & facebook, I would like to extend the celebration of World Give Day to World Give Week!!
As many of you already know, the average age of a homeless person is 9 years old. So for the rest of the week, I challenge and encourage people to donate $9 to the REALTOR Foundation in honor of homeless children worldwide.
I hope everyone has a great Cinco De Mayo! And as much as I enjoy John Mayer as I sing and dance in my car...Let's NOT wait for the world to change!!
Movin' & Shakin' as always,
Regina ♥
