"THERE ARE NO RULES IN FASHION"
https://animoto.com/play/tjNoo3I3DybKeG6iC07cDg Sparkle Terry has contributed two short video fashion blogs for Esperanza! A Woman's Hope. Sparkle has recently learned to create video slide-shows by using a free program called Animoto at www.animoto.com. Sparkle's philosophy is that we all need to feel comfortable with our bodies and our selves. There are no set rules to fashion. Dismiss the stereotypes! We need to express ourselves and choose what works for us! Barnes & Noble Book Fair to Benefit Esperanza! A Woman's Hope, in Support of Abused Women & Children10/21/2014  Just Click This Flyer to Print. Bring it when you purchase at a B&N Store locally or nationally, or key in the voucher number when you shop on-line. Just wanted to share that Barnes & Noble is hosting a Book Fair for Esperanza!

The Above Image prompted me to create the Below Video, which I've titled "No Woman Should Suffer Abuse! No Child Should Live in Fear!" (Following a compelling image of a mother walking away with her child that totally stole my heart!) Can you begin to imagine the number of women and children in this country who live in fear and abuse? Some in their homes... Some in shacks... Some in shelters... Others totally Homeless and Squatting in Cardboard "Make-Do's" under bridges... Or holding signs alongside their children in shopping center parking lots, exhausted and pleading for aid.  No Child Should Live In Fear What does it require to reach out? What can You do, in your own miniscule-to-magnanimous way, to help abused women and their children? Take time to reflect. Then make a decision and commit. What ever you do, Do Something! Please!
The below video has been created to honor survivors of domestic violence and their children, in their search for Safe, Secure, Enriched Lives. It takes Courage to Abandon the Past and Create a Positive Present amidst uncertainty, while Journeying toward a Successful Future! Establish A Side-Hustle to Boost Your Personal Economy!
The Courage to Stay, Or the Courage to Leave? End the Violence, Now! A special friend and Survivor, named Monica, recently posted this image on her social media page. Monica is among the most courageous and generous women I know. We initially became acquainted during a professional networking event.
A loving mother and competent business woman, Monica unselfishly extends herself to those in need. She understands the control and fear associated with Domestic Violence. And she knows it takes Guts to leave! Many women remain with their abusers in fear (real fear) of the consequences - both for themselves and their children. Their lives can be endangered all the more once they leave. Whether choosing to remain or creating a safe strategy to leave, it takes Courage. The Courage to Leave can bring great Freedom. Opt for the Plan! Build a Future! End the Violence, Now!  Making Dollars Stretch Gap Between Rich and Poor Widening
Choose Your Career and Your State of Residence Wisely https://homes.yahoo.com/blogs/spaces/income-inequality--america-s-worst-states-214549684.html The United States has a greater gap between rich and poor than any other advanced nation. President Obama has called it "the defining challenge of our time." The above link leads to an informative article, including a color-coded map of the US depicting the greatest economic disparity between states. Those in the South rank higher. When selecting career paths in sectors indicating positive economic outlooks, consider your state of residence and prepare to relocate. http://www.npr.org/2014/08/08/338389589/finding-a-new-life-after-an-abusive-marriage-and-a-prison-sentence
