My Digital Life Grows Up: Social Media for Social Good
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Detroit
I am fundraising for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Detroit.
The goal is to raise awareness and money to fight breast cancer.
I also want to mention the two foundations that my friends started. Dawn founded the Augme Foundation and Andria the Speakeasy Media Foundation.
My goal is to raise $1,052. The 21st annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is Saturday, May 26, on the grounds of Comerica Park in downtown Detroit. It is sponsored by the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.I will be 52 that day. Praise God for His mercy.
If you'd like to support me in my efforts to raise money for this cause to end breast cancer, please make a donation using this FirstGiving site I created. (Or, if you'd prefer, you can donate directly using this link: http://www.karmanos.org/app.asp?id=1000&ssec= .
If you're not sure how much to give, may I suggest $5 or $10 per kilometer? I am doing 5k.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
God bless you,
Pam Perry

by Marion Wright Edelman
- There is no free lunch. Don't feel entitled to anything you don't sweat and struggle for.
- Set goals and work quietly and systematically toward them.
- Assign yourself.
- Never work for just money or for power. They won't save your soul or build a decent family or help you sleep at night.
- Don't be afraid of taking risks or of being criticized.
- Take parenting and family life seriously and insist that those you work for and who represent you do.
- Remember that your wife/husband is not your mother/father or servant, but your partner and friend.
- Forming families is serious business.
- Be honest.
- Remember and help America remember that the fellowship of human beings is more important that the fellowship of race and class and gender in a democratic society.
- Sell the shadow for the substance.
- Never give up!
- Be confident that you can make a difference.
- Don't ever stop learning and improving your mind.
- Don't be afraid of hard work or teaching your children to work.

Open Letter from my sister, Kim Jordan
 |
| See video at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1481095124/kim-jordan-uncommon# |
Hello Everyone,
My name is Kim Jordan, and I was born to create music. I am blessed to wear many hats, Keyboardist, Producer, Composer, Arranger, Engineer, Educator and Minister.
I have been given the "gift of music." And, what is a gift? A gift is something that someone wants you to have, not because you are deserving of it, but simply because they want you to have it. I know I was given this God-given talent as a tool to convey God’s love and compassion to the world.
The CD project I would like to share with you, and would like your help with, is entitled Uncommon. This project mixes many forms of musical genres such as Jazz, Latin, Fusion, Gospel and others. The message behind the music is simple; “God Loves You Right Where You Are.” Uncommon speaks to those who are broken in spirit, those who are wounded, and, most importantly, those who feel like giving up. This project was divinely designed to lift your spirit and move your soul.
I don’t feel as if I personally wrote any of the 12 cuts on the project; but, rather, was used as a conduit as each song was downloaded into me to purposely speak to those who are desperately hurting.
Several years ago, I was in a truck accident that caused me to lose a significant amount of my playing ability. I thought my musical career was over, BUT GOD, had other plans for me. He wasn’t finished with me, just like He’s not finished with you.
What I have come to realize is that with every Test, Trial and Tragedy, there is also Triumph! You can’t really have a testimony until there is a test. That accident was my test, but the fruit that has come forth from that accident is a major part of my triumph. God has restored my playing ability, but He has also given me a new mandate and mission.
I believe that one of the reasons that I’m still on the planet is to share with everyone that will listen the message that no matter how bad things may seem, you are loved, you are not forgotten, you still have purpose, value, significance and destiny.
In other words, “Giving Up” is not an option because God himself wants you to know, “He’s Not Finished With You Yet!” The Uncommon CD project is full of life-giving songs of encouragement.
Two years ago, my only brother, Anthony got sick and subsequently died. As I was still grieving, I felt a tremendous urgency to complete Uncommon. I told my business partner and recording engineer of 30 years, Wendell Williamson, that I was ready to resume working on the Uncommon CD project.
Unfortunately, the very next day I received a call that Wendell was in the hospital and within a month’s time, Wendell died. Within 6 months, my musical mentor, Jazz Poet, Gil Scott Heron, also passed away. I’m sharing these stories with you to let you know that Life has dealt all of us some pretty hard blows, and, to be honest, many times I too felt like giving up and walking away.
It was during this period that my production company (Prosounity Music Entertainment, LLC) ran out of resources to complete this project. This is why I am asking for your support.
I am ½ way through the project. As a Producer, I’m aware of the cost involved in producing a quality project from start to finish. For me, asking for money or help with anything is quite humbling; and I am truly humbled by this experience. But, I believe that God uses people to help people; so, I am humbly reaching out to you to help me help others by supporting my efforts to finish the Uncommon Gospel Jazz CD project.
I am confident you will be pleased, others will be blessed and God will be glorified as a result of your pledges.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to sincerely say “THANK YOU,” and I pray God will richly bless you.
Kim

Vicki Yohe - Because Of Who You Are
Oh of my favorite songs!
Many people give up too quickly. And it is for that very reason, they experience little success. Winning in life is not a matter of fate, chance or luck. Rather, it is the result of learning and living by specific principles, principles which are from time memorial, and just as true today as they were when they were first written and given to mankind by the Creator of the universe.
Each of these principles are in The Holy Bible. And even though many inspirational and motivational speakers may not want admit it publicly, it is a proven fact that Almighty God is the One Who instituted the principles which guarantee success, and a life of lasting value.
One of these principles is a major key to winning in life, and that is the principle of persistence, staying with a project or goal until you get what you are after. Sounds simple, right? And yet, this is where most people are defeated. The old saying, "Quitters never win," is not just a saying. It is a fact. Learn how to persist and you will reveal to yourself and the world that you are a winner.
How can we develop the ability to persist and persevere? Here are some things we can do:
1. Ensure that your goals are not opposing the Will of Almighty God, and that they will not bring harm to mankind. You cannot carry out a plan that is offensive to God or that hurts people, and experience true success. Your seeming, but temporary success will prove vain and short-lived. Evil will always catch up with the person involved in and deceived thereby.
2. Ensure that your goals are workable, and that you have placed the order of the steps you need to take to get to your goals in proper sequence. If your goals look too hard or impossible to carry out, it will over-whelm your mind and you will find excitement leaving and fatigue setting in. Your mind will get dis-interested and unfocused, because your plans are not set properly, or thought out well enough.
3. Realize that hard times and times of disappointment will come. That comes with the package. And to be honest with you, the hard places are where character is developed and brought to maturity. Difficult situations or people will either make the man or woman out of you that you need to be to handle the level of responsibility which comes with success, or will stop you dead in your tracks from pursuing your goals and dreams.
4. Keep the picture in front of you of your goal fulfilled or realized. Just keep imaging what your life can and will be like when you have reached your mark.
5. Seek the advise of informed persons who may be able to give you some wisdom. Make sure the person you ask for counsel is successful and speaking to you from his or her wealth of experience.
6. Pray. Remember that the Lord promised He will direct your path if you acknowledge Him. Yes, there is a God. Get acquainted with Him.
7. Just stay at it, pursuing your dream, day by day. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU CAN BE IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT. So, NEVER QUIT.
