Sing Yourself to Sleep
Sing Yourself to Sleep

Sometimes in life you find your “purpose” in a project, and this little project has done that for me.

I am a storyteller, but after releasing my 1st children’s book WHY THE GIRL BECAME A CAT (proceeds help to raise funds to mentor and hire young people on the spectrum), I received a call from a trusted friend who asked if I would be interested in writing additional children’s stories for an LP of bedtime stories to soothe young children… and of course, I answered with a resounding YES!

SING YOURSELF TO SLEEP was the story that summed it all up perfectly and helped me to realize WHY this work is so important to me. In writing and performing these stories I am able to say all of the things I wish had been said to me when I was a young girl growing up in South Louisiana.

Autism and Recovery are two words we haven't heard put together till recently.  I'm excited to be working with an online community that is working to help parents of autistic children with up to date research and knowledge to help them find their family's path to "recovery."

Learn more about the amazing results they've seen over the past few years, and the documentary coming on out in 2018 to share the good news that recovery is possible.

Hiring our "Challenged" Champions

When is the last time you hired someone with physical or mental challenges?  Did you know that there is an army of able and eager workers available to you, along with incentives to help subsidize the hire?    I'm currently working with a local organization as well - www.fvosolutions.com - to develop training programs to empower more of our "challenged" champions to work in social media/production.

Crowd Relief Starts with You & Me
Crowd Relief Starts with You & Me

I’ve been partnering with Rob Gaudet and Melissa Adair of Cajun Relief for awhile, but their new initiative Crowd Relief has me super excited!  I’m obviously a fan of the power of digital to “do good” and this is modern relief management at it’s finest.

Their new app allows supporters of disaster relief around the world to contribute to specific family needs in the wake of a disaster with the touch of a button....

Mardi Gras Mambo Supports Non Profit Launch Louisiana

Our Mardi Gras Mambo Happy Hour was a great success because of YOU!

Because of your incredible generosity we were able to raise funds for Launch Louisiana to help them continue their important work helping Louisiana families recover from the severe flooding that displaced over 150,000 families in August 2016 – many are still homeless.
