MY NEWEST VENTURES

Hello, Everyone! A beautiful California day and still here...been very busy. A little tired, and fighting for loving character, as always. My newest ventures have been in the interest of charity...I have been doing many things in regards to my small organization, Un Univers Des Anges. And they are...

I've started a major program in California, specifically Ceres, Modesto, Turlock, Stockton, Tracy, Manteca, and the Bay Area called "To the Left." I put beautiful little gift bags on doors, with postcards that inspire thought about Charity, the Environment and Love. They also include my book, Love Loves. Love Fights. Love Wins. It has been successful, and I'm enjoying what I've done.

I've also put together a program and sent it off to the California Lottery. I'm asking that they develop a Society of Angels to help solve some of the problems in this world of ours...poverty, transportation and a few other things. I've put my ideas and suggestions together for them...we'll see where it goes.

I dropped off a program for networking to KCRA3, that they might consider a short segment on charitable acts. It involves a lot more, but, in essence, if KCRA3 decides to go forward with it, it will raise the consciousness in our area of charity and the environment. They might also network other stations (as I've suggested). I'm hoping they'll think highly of my proposal.

I've put together a program for the schools called "An Angel's Perspective: A Program for Self Esteem Within the Schools. It gathers together Beauty Colleges and other businesses to go into schools and teach children about their own beauty. I'm writing a book to go with this program, called "An Angel's Perspective." It will be small and lovely, and, I hope, will inspire some of the children. It will include some of my old blogs...from Atom to Galaxy and Nameless Beauty.

I've also been networking schools and churches to adopt my "To the Left" program, that they may also include a once a year charity drive for one charity. If all churhces do this, we will help many charities once a year.

I've written a small fairy tale called "Honor, Above All," which you've already read, as I've posted it, and have been distributing it to children. I think it's successful, and I've also brought it to the schools. It looks as if I will have to go through the process of getting it approved, and they might ask that the bio pages that reference someone special to me, Jesus, removed due to the religious constrictions in schools. We'll see. However, I've also brought it to many Catholic Schools...you never know. I haven't recieved any responses yet (I distributed them last week), but I'm sure I will know more to tell you soon.

Something lovely...and it's inspiration for you...about a week ago, at Kinko's, I saw a mother and family trying to drag their son to the car. He didn't want to go home, and was throwing a tantrum. I know how it feels, as a mother, and I wanted to help. I pulled a painting from my car and gave it to the boy...I told him that it held a Guardian Angel, and that he should go home and be happy. And it solved the problem...he was happy. And it meant the world to me to see the look on his face. Please, if you have the resources and time, find something, something special and small..not too expensive...to keep in your car, in a box, with a note. Something like, as I do, "Just a small hug just to let you know that you are loved." And when you see someone that needs love, give them a gift, and never tell them who you are. It is a beautiful way to make this world a more lovely place...and as you are already lovely in it, every little loving action helps. Much Love...Rebecca Tacosa Gray.
