The United States has just completed although perhaps not yet closed a bruising political season during which otherwise decent people attempted to convince voters that the world as they know it would end if the wrong candidate won.
Yet almost all of those voters know, when they remember to think about it, that the citizens of this nation are blessed in ways almost unimaginable to most people around the world.
Few Americans starve or freeze to death, although its a national and local shame that any do. All children have access to education. Our air quality is far from perfect, but it rarely obscures our view of the mountains; compare that with Chinas industrial cities or even with the Front Range. Our water is not perfectly pure but it doesnt burn. We have so much food that we mourn the demise of the Twinkie, a snack cake that really wasnt food at all. Although the poorest among us may not be able to afford fresh, unprocessed food, and thats too bad, they arent reduced to scrounging in garbage receptacles and fields. By and large, Americans generally are comfortable and, in spite of war, terrorism and economic travails, mostly safe. Even the most downtrodden here have more liberty and more opportunity than most of the people who have ever lived.
Tomorrow millions of people will stampede into stores for Black Friday deals. By Monday, well want our elected representatives to resume dealing with fiscal policy in a way that serves constituents, not political ambitions. Beyond our borders, theres much cause for worry, and within them, life is far from perfect.
Today, though, is a day to focus on the good not unmet needs and unfulfilled wants, not resentment of others who have more, not fears of future loss, but all that is good in our lives.
For most of us, thats a lot, but even that is somewhat beside the point. The world appears different when viewed from a posture of gratitude, and when people see it differently, they act differently. When they can see positives, they can see a foundation on which to build. They can see hope for the future.
That was the basis for the first recorded Thanksgiving: hope dwelling in the blessings identified amidst a struggle for survival. Thankfulness requires us to be able to see how much worse life could be. One day a year or at least a few minutes of day spent taking stock is a very good corrective to much of what is wrong in this nation today.
The cultural institutionalization of thankfulness is well worth encouraging, because its such a different attitude than the one that prevails most other days of the year. Christmas shopping is beginning to creep into the evening, but the daylight hours remain commercially quiet. Theres no expectation of gift-giving; aside from turkey and trimmings (prodigious as that list has become), the focus is non-material.
Thanksgiving as a government holiday is an odd concept, because the government cannot mandate gratitude. It can issue proclamations and encourage observances. More visibly, it can give its employees paid holidays so that they can spend time with their families, watch parades and football games, and consume festive meals, and in that way it can support not enforce the practice of taking stock and honestly appreciating. True thanksgiving must bubble up from within and it will, when we are reminded that we do, indeed, have many reasons to be thankful.


text: Every day when Elena came home from school, her cat Tomaso would run to greet her. Then Elena would pick up Tomaso and give the cat a hug. One day, though, Elena came home and her cat wasn't there. Her mom told her that Tomaso had died. Millions of people across the world own pets. Maybe you have a pet, and maybe some of your friends do too. A pet can be a special friend, and you might think of him or her as a member of the family. A pet can play with you or just be with you when you don't feel like talking. What Happens When a Pet Dies? Unfortunately, pets can't stay with us forever. Like all living things, they will die at some point. Sometimes a pet dies from old age because its body has worn out. Sometimes a pet dies from an accident. Sometimes a pet gets too sick to live. Even when an animal doctor (a veterinarian, or vet) helps, there are some problems that just can't be fixed. If your pet is in a lot of pain and will never get better, your parents and the vet may decide that the animal should be allowed to die. To make it go more quickly and without pain, the vet can give the pet some medicine that will help it die. The animal gets a special kind of injection (shot) that allows it to die peacefully. Deciding to help a pet die is a hard thing to do. Why Am I Feeling Like This? It's sad when a pet dies. For a while, though, you may not feel anything at all. That's OK. Or you may feel like crying and that's OK, too. You may feel lonely because your pet was your friend. You might even feel mad at the vet for not being able to make your pet better. Maybe you feel guilty when you remember one time when you were mean to your pet. To some kids, it may seem like no one understands what they are feeling. Talk It Out Elena decided to talk with her parents about how she was feeling. She wanted to ask about some things she didn't understand, like where Tomaso went after death. Elena's parents answered her questions the best they could. Death is a mystery, and people have different beliefs about what happens after an animal or person dies. Elena's parents told her about the pets they used to have when they were kids and how it was difficult to say goodbye. They told her that it's OK to be sad when animals die and it's not silly at all. At first, it can be hard to talk about the pet you're missing. You might want to forget about everything instead. But talking with someone you love is the best way to help you start to feel better. What Comes Next? When a pet dies, you and your family may want to find special ways to remember your pet. It can be a big help to share a sad thing with people you love. You might have a ceremony to bury your pet or just share memories of fun times you had together. You might want to tell stories or write a poem. You could do a project too, like making a scrapbook. There are many ways you can hold on to your happy memories. And you can always love your pet. A new animal can't replace your old pet. But someday the time may be right for you and your family to adopt a new animal for everyone to love. Back to Articles Related Articles If I Have Asthma, Can I Keep My Pet? Uh-oh.

Raised in the urban city of Compton California Richard Villa always knew he wanted to make people laugh. After completing a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Richard felt there was something more out there in stored for him. While driving home one night the neon lights of the Irvine Improv called his name. Hey Richard!
Seizing the moment of amateur night Richard grabbed the microphone went on stage and has not stopped since. Using stories of his childhood Richard Villa turned what he thought were basic experiences into autobiographical satirical humor that depict life for Latinos and other minorities in the United States. Amid his newfound talent in improvisation Richard was accepted to The Groundlings Theatre Group.
With his comedy and thorough understanding of his audience Richard Villa became the first Latino to ever host the renowned Hollywood Improv on Friday nights. Sharing the stage with various other talent such as Jeff Garcia Carlos Mancilla Gabriel Iglesia Mike Epps Orlando Jones and Dat Phan Richard Villa quickly took over co-host duties at the Ha-Ha in North Hollywood and the Ontario and Brea Improv.
His ability to appeal to the audience earned him a special invitation by the U.S. Military to perform for the troops on the Combat Comedy Tour which included Iraq Unit May Kyrgyzstan Afghanistan Kuwait Qatar Bahrain Djibouti and Saudi Arabia.
In 2005 Vanguard Cinema released Richards 1st DVD called Richard Villa: Performing This Way.
Now being hailed as the leader for the new generation of Latino Comics Richard Villa exemplifies dedication to making other people laugh. With his television appearances on Mun2s Loco Comedy Jam HBO Latino and Los Angeles based LATV Richard Villa has turned his talent into animation becoming a writer and voiceover for MTVs Latin animation Chico y Guapo.
In a personal project Richard Villa is aiming at introducing his audience to Border Patrol Tales a sketch comedy show depicting the social impact and influence of immigrants in the United States.

They say food tastes better on a stick. It's hard to improve on something as delicious as cheesecake but put it on a stick and sure enough, I daresay it might be tastier than the not-on-a-stick original. Not only are these cheesecake pops as creamy and decadent as a slice of cheesecake, but they get bonus points for being so gosh darn cute! They're so addictive it's easy to lose count how many you've already devoured and if you make many different flavors, watch out because you may find yourself sampling each one!
Our lovely co-hosts for this month Elle of Feeding My Enthusiasms and Deborah of Taste and Tell chose this recipe from Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey by Jill O'Connor so that each Daring Baker could put their own personal touch on the cheesecake pops. I really loved this challenge because the pops were fun to decorate, absolutely adorable, and sinfully delicious - you can't ask for more! Be sure to check out all the creative ways other DBs decorated their pops by visiting Daring Baker Blogroll.
Dark Chocolate Pistachio Cheesecake Pop
- Shaping the pops and decorating is quite messy. It's probably better to wear a pair of gloves so you don't get cheesecake all over your hands. I eventually got cheesecake all over everything, the counter, ice cream scoop handle, trays, the faucet, the cupboard (how the hell did that happen? I don't really know). Then during decorating, I got crumbs all over the kitchen floor. But I still think the end result was worth it.
- I also found that the pops were too soft when stored in the fridge, so I kept them in the freezer. It might be because I pulled the cheesecake out too quickly from the oven but I didn't want to overbake it. They're delicious straight out of the freezer, like cheesecake ice cream, and they don't get too hard, still soft enough to bite through even after a few days in the freezer. Or you can let them warm up a bit before eating.
Cheesecake Pops
from Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey by Jill O'Connor
Makes 30 – 40 Pops (*I made half the recipe)
5 8-oz. packages cream cheese at room temperature
2 C sugar
1/4 C all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
5 large eggs
2 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 C heavy cream
Boiling water as needed
Thirty to forty 8-inch lollipop sticks (I used bamboo skewers snapped in half)
1 lb chocolate, finely chopped
2 Tbsp vegetable shortening
(Note: White chocolate is harder to use this way, but not impossible)
Possible decorations:
Chopped nuts
Colored sugar
Crushed peppermints
Mini chocolate chips
Chopped chocolate covered espresso beans
Cocoa nibs
Toasted coconut
Crushed graham crackers
Crushed Oreos
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and adjust an oven rack to the middle position. Bring some water to a boil.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, flour, and salt until smooth. Add the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and cream and beat until smooth.
Grease a 10 inch cake pan (or some ramekins if you made half the recipe). Pour the batter into the prepare pan(s). Place the pans into a larger roasting pan and pour water into the roasting pan until it comes up halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake until the cheesecake is firm and slightly golden on top. The recipe said 35 – 45 minutes but for a full recipe I'm guessing it will take closer to an hour since my half recipe baked in 30 – 40ish minutes.
Cool the cheesecake to room temperature then cover the cheesecake and refrigerate until it is very cold, 3 hours or up to overnight.
When the cheesecake is very cold and firm, scoop the cheesecake into 2 ounce balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. I wore a pair of gloves and used a 1 tablespoon ice cream scoop since I have no idea how big a 2 ounce ball. Be warned, this step is pretty messy. Insert a stick into each ball and freeze until they are very hard, 1 – 2 hours.
First prepare all your desired toppings. When the cheesecake pops are frozen, prepare the chocolate before taking them out. First use only half the chocolate and shortening. Melt the chocolate and shortening in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until completely smooth. Do not overheat the chocolate; turn the heat down so that the pot of water is barely simmering.
Work with only a few pops at a time and keep the rest in the freezer. Quickly dip each pop into the melted chocolate and swirl to coat it completely, then immediately roll it in a desired decoration. The frozen pops will harden the chocolate very quickly so you'll need to work fast. Set the finished pop on a clean parchment paper lined sheet. The recipe said to refrigerate until ready to serve but I think the pops store better in the freezer. Let them warm up a little bit before serving but they taste great straight out of the freezer too. For longer term storage, keep them in an airtight container in the freezer.

I Spy With My Genealogy Eye...
It's amazing what they remember, and what they love to hear. Every year on their annual summer visits to our farm they beg me for the same stories over and over.
"Tell us the story again about our ancestor who walked Niagara Falls on a tightrope"
"Gramma tell us about our ancestor who fought in the War of 1812"
"Gramma which ancestor was it who was killed by a fish? Tell that story again!" (Doubters, this is a true story. I have a newspaper clipping of the tragic yet bizarre fish incident in which my great grandfather's cousin was killed by a sturgeon)
My living room is full of ancestor photos in antique frames (I just counted and there are 20 in our cathedral style living room. That doesn't include those on the staircase, in the loft and other rooms of the house). Every year we play "Name the Ancestor" with the grandchildren over the age of 10. This is a little game where they try to name our ancestors on the wall, including their relationship to each person.
Winner is the child who gets the most names correct and can give the correct relationship (example: That's my Great great grandma Ruth).
For those who think there shouldn't be winners versus losers, I'll let you in on a secret - children love competitions. They love to win. The grandchild who doesn't come first will almost certainly try harder next time or listen more attentively when I talk about each ancestor.
Did you notice I said we only play this as a competition with the children over age 10? Children over the age of 10 understand winning and not winning. They don't cry when they don't win. With the younger children I make it like the game "I Spy." Only my version is called "I Spy With My Genealogy Eye". Notice that we don't spy with our "little" eye, we spy with our "genealogy" eye!
My 6 year old grandson loves this game. He takes his turn with "I spy with my genealogy eye, an ancestor who is Gramma Ollie's Grandma" (I'm Gramma Ollie) Then the rest of us have to point to the correct person in the photos.
Even my 3 year old grandson tries to play but he doesn't quite get it yet. His version goes like this "I spying with my all-a-gee eye, something like a lady in a dress" But that's okay because as soon as one of us in the game picks the right "lady in a dress" I make sure I name the person they chose.
"Oh that's Grandma Ruth! Good going, you chose Grandma Ruth with your genealogy eye"
Yes it's called brainwashing. Being a parrot. Repeating what you want your grandchildren to remember. If their attention span can handle it, I add a bit along the lines of "Grandma Ruth was my grandmother. She's your great-grandmother" I've usually lost them by this time but some of it will sink in.
I also prompt them with sentences like "Okay it's your turn. Use your genealogy eye to choose an ancestor for the rest of us to guess" I know. I'm shameless when it comes to my determination to turn at least ONE of my 13 grandkids into a genealogist!
Somebody has to take my 10 filing cabinet drawers of genealogy documents and my stacks of unsorted genealogy papers at some point in time...
And so I brainwash my grandchildren with stories and games like "I Spy With My Genealogy Eye." Fingers crossed that one will pick up the torch and carry on.

I believes the fish story, I heard on the news that a woman's leg was broken when the fish leaped from the water and landed on her in the boat. This was just recently in the USA
- Laura Flanagan said...
LOVE IT! I hope that one (or more) will become a genealogist! Not to mention they will know who their family is.....family is the most important thing after all! I just wish I had as m many ancestor photos as you do!
- Diana Ritchie said...
I absolutely LOVE this!! I am woing to work up my own version of "Name the Ancestor" for our family trip this August. Keep up the great brainwashing :-) And thanks for the ideas....
- Suzanne said...
A great calm came over me when I saw your wall of pictures. When we "downsized" to a much smaller home, I had to put many ancestral pictures close together (almost solid pictured wall). The I spy game will be so much fun for my grandchildren. Many thanks! Suzanne
- FranE said...
I love it. I must say I do not tell the stories like this. It is usually relating to a life lesson they are dealing with that a story comes out.Will have to try this.
- Patti Browning said...
I think this is genius! Oh, and I urge you to post the newspaper articles about the sturgeon that killed your cousin if you haven't already. I've gotta read that!
I only have one daughter and it's safe to say she's VERY unlikely to give me grandchildren. I often wonder if she'll ever be interested in all my trunks of genealogy and if she isn't, I have no idea who I'll leave all this to. I better start making plans! :D - 12:23 PM
- Susan Clark said...
What a grand, grand, grand grandmother you are! One of the main reasons I'm a passionate family historian is because my aunts and great-aunts told me stories - endless stories.
- Kathleen Riley said...
Great idea to groom the next generation of addicts! Thanks for the suggestion.
- Kimberly Nagy said...
I admit that I too have brainwashed my children. I thought they weren't paying attention to my genealogy - they rolled their eyes if I dragged them into a cemetery or mentioned a breakthrough.
Then one day my older daughter was talking to her US History teacher and mentioned that she was a member of C.A.R. He asked how one becomes a member and she said "You need to prove that you have an ancestor in the Revolutionary War. To do that, you need to provide birth certificates, death certificates,..."
I guess it does sink in after all. - 7:36 PM
- Greta Koehl said...
I would second what Susan said - it was the old family stories that stuck in my mind that were the seeds that sprouted into a passion for genealogy. My daughters were already teenagers when I caught the bug, but I keep "talking genealogy at them" and hope it will take!
- Judy said...
Patti, I hope you'll develop a special kinship with a relative you meet while researching so your info vp an be passed on. My grandmother's cousin was a lifelong researcher but her children weren't interested and there were never any grandchildren. She even had personal letters written to her by a US President and First Lady. Although she freely and generously shared copies if her work with many of us, I believe her lifelong body of work has been mildewing in a garage since her death. Her children are good people--I think they're reluctant to "get rid" of something that was such a huge part of the mother they loved. Consequently, I've had no luck convincing them to let me have or travel to digitize the collection nor to convince them to donate it to the State Historical Society. Like I said, good people, but this is a huge loss to all of us who research the family. So, make a will or plans to donate important papers to a library or historical society. I, too, brainwash children in the family. Neither if my kids is interested but one of five grandchildren always wants to hear "the stories" so I'm pinning my personal hopes on him. ;-)
I was fortunate to have several family historians around me in my young developmental years. The love and respect for my family has been a personal source of strength all of my life.
My studies in Family Systems Therapy reinforced the importance of embracing a broad perspective of "family". It is empowering and provides a strong "root" system for every member's lifelong stability. - 1:40 PM
- Jenna said...
Fantastic idea!! The best part is once they are grown they will SO appreciate you playing that game with them!!
- Linda Gartz said...
Combined with your June 9th post on making a video-- I think you could start a class for parents and kids on how to transfer a love of genealogy on to the next generation (have you thought of a book or article on that subject?) My parents made my brothers and me a photo album of our main ancestors and we always heard their stories. That jump-started my interest -- and after I found a treasure trove of letters and diaries, I was hooked!

A global perspective for Europe
Address by NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen to the joint meeing of the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs and Sub-committee on Security and Defence
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for that introduction.
And first of all let me take this opportunity to pay tribute to you for your long-standing contribution to European politics, your active participation in the institutional evolution of the European Union, your strong involvement in foreign and security policy and your vivid interest in the NATO-EU relations.
And it's very good to be here. I always enjoy visiting the European Parliament. As some of you know, I was a parliamentarian myself for thirty-one years, so I feel very much at home here. And it's always good to be reminded how close the European institutions really are to NATO in this town.
When it comes to security, Europe has reason to be proud. Over the past decade, NATO's European Allies have stayed the course in Afghanistan. They flew most of the sorties in Libya. And they helped stabilise the Balkans. Over the same period, the European Union has taken on key roles in Georgia, the Balkans and Africa.
This is impressive. And important. Because Europe has a vital role to play in preserving our security.
While this may not be the most dangerous time in recent history, it is the most complex and unpredictable. Our economies are putting tremendous pressure on our populations and our public finances. At the same time, unpredictability abounds. From across North Africa and the Middle East, to the rise of new military powers, and to new threats like cyber attacks. And this is the circle to be squared: fewer resources at home but still great uncertainty in the world. We must focus on our domestic constituencies but we must not be blind to a changing world.
No single nation, no superpower, and no continent, however powerful, can address those challenges at once and on its own.
This is a time when, more than ever, we depend on each other to ensure our shared security and preserve our shared values. So we need to keep investing in the security relationships that matter.
For over 60 years, Europe and North America have worked together in NATO to address common challenges. To preserve freedom and democracy. To develop a Europe whole, free and at peace.
Today, our security cannot be separated from global security. This sometimes means we have to deploy our forces beyond our borders to keep our people secure at home. As we have done in Afghanistan. Off the coast of Somalia. And in the skies over Libya.
That is why I believe, that even as it tackles its economic problems, Europe cannot afford to be inward-looking or self-absorbed. When it comes to security, the only perspective that makes sense is the global perspective.
But let me be clear. I do not mean that we should automatically deal with every problem that arises in the world. But it does mean that European nations must look outwards, and stay ready and able to act for their own sake. And be capable of joining our North American Allies in operations outside the Euro-Atlantic area. So we can protect the security of our citizens – within the principles of the United Nations Charter.
Today's economic difficulties may tempt European nations to become introverted. But the need for a confident, compelling, outward-looking Europe has never been greater.
This is why European nations must continue to invest in critical military capabilities – smartly and sufficiently. And they must continue to show willingness to use them when needed.
The good news is that Europe is not starting from scratch. Today we have a more capable and more willing Europe than 20 years ago. More European troops are deployed in more places than ever in recent history. Even smaller nations, like my own, have shown their capacity to punch above their weight.
In Libya last year, European nations clearly demonstrated that they are willing and able to lead a NATO operation. Without significant American contributions, however, Operation Unified Protector would have been less effective. Assets like air-to-air refueling, surveillance, and intelligence, made all the difference.
For Europeans to provide such assets requires political commitment, just as much as financial resources. Because individual nations can no longer afford these military capabilities on their own – now or in the future.
However, if we pool and share resources, if we help each other, if we go for multinational solutions, then we can afford the capabilities we need in the 21st Century. This is Smart Defence. And a crucial part of Smart Defence involves closer coordination and closer cooperation between NATO and the European Union. So that we reinforce each other, rather than compete with each other. Because, we all know we share 21 members. And they only have one set of forces. And one set of tax-payers. This is why I welcome the European Union pooling and sharing initiative – and I particularly welcome the current project on air-to-air refueling.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The way ahead is clear. We all have much to gain from a more capable European defence. NATO and the European Union can, and should, play complementary and mutually reinforcing roles in supporting international peace and security.
To carry out this role, Europe must invest sufficiently in our common security. And Europe must continue to invest in the vital transatlantic bond - in political, economic, and military terms.
I believe in Europe. I believe in Europe's commitment to promote peace and security on this continent and beyond. And I believe in Europe's ambition to play its part in the world.
Thank you.

From: Satya Nadella
To: All Employees
Date: July 17, 2014 at 5:00 a.m. PT
Subject: Starting to Evolve Our Organization and Culture
Last week in my email to you I synthesized our strategic direction as a productivity and platform company. Having a clear focus is the start of the journey, not the end. The more difficult steps are creating the organization and culture to bring our ambitions to life. Today I'll share more on how we're moving forward. On July 22, during our public earnings call, I'll share further specifics on where we are focusing our innovation investments.
The first step to building the right organization for our ambitions is to realign our workforce. With this in mind, we will begin to reduce the size of our overall workforce by up to 18,000 jobs in the next year. Of that total, our work toward synergies and strategic alignment on Nokia Devices and Services is expected to account for about 12,500 jobs, comprising both professional and factory workers. We are moving now to start reducing the first 13,000 positions, and the vast majority of employees whose jobs will be eliminated will be notified over the next six months. It's important to note that while we are eliminating roles in some areas, we are adding roles in certain other strategic areas. My promise to you is that we will go through this process in the most thoughtful and transparent way possible. We will offer severance to all employees impacted by these changes, as well as job transition help in many locations, and everyone can expect to be treated with the respect they deserve for their contributions to this company.
Later today your Senior Leadership Team member will share more on what to expect in your organization. Our workforce reductions are mainly driven by two outcomes: work simplification as well as Nokia Devices and Services integration synergies and strategic alignment.
First, we will simplify the way we work to drive greater accountability, become more agile and move faster. As part of modernizing our engineering processes the expectations we have from each of our disciplines will change. In addition, we plan to have fewer layers of management, both top down and sideways, to accelerate the flow of information and decision making. This includes flattening organizations and increasing the span of control of people managers. In addition, our business processes and support models will be more lean and efficient with greater trust between teams. The overall result of these changes will be more productive, impactful teams across Microsoft. These changes will affect both the Microsoft workforce and our vendor staff. Each organization is starting at different points and moving at different paces.
Second, we are working to integrate the Nokia Devices and Services teams into Microsoft. We will realize the synergies to which we committed when we announced the acquisition last September. The first-party phone portfolio will align to Microsoft's strategic direction. To win in the higher price tiers, we will focus on breakthrough innovation that expresses and enlivens Microsoft's digital work and digital life experiences. In addition, we plan to shift select Nokia X product designs to become Lumia products running Windows. This builds on our success in the affordable smartphone space and aligns with our focus on Windows Universal Apps.
Making these decisions to change are difficult, but necessary. I want to invite you to my monthly Q&A event tomorrow. I hope you can join, and I hope you will ask any question that's on your mind. Thank you for your support as we start to take steps forward in evolving our organization and culture.

Glaminars coming to an end...or at least a long pause...
The Glaminars are as much about make-up...and empowering you with the knowledge, confidence and hope to make your dreams really happen.
Unfortunately due to my work schedule and my health... I'm not going to be able to do anymore Glaminars next year. Not only do putting these on cause me to work all day and well until 2 am, trying to arrange everything, email, get gift bag sponsors, try to book events and deal with awful contracts, email people, maintain all the orders, stay on top of how many seats we have left at each venue, and then stress out over missing packages and items! And I am trying to blog, film video, edit video, work other jobs, and be a single mom...I can't continue to do these, even though I love them so much!
I hope that I will be able to do them again, because I love sharing my "skills" with you in a way that is so unlike what I can share on youtube...and meeting you all is more amazing than I can even describe.
I deal with a lot of swelling in my leg, and at every break I had to elevate and wish that there was a huge ice bath to soak my leg in.
I know a lot of people have asked for me to do a GLAMINAR in San Francisco, LA and possible Las Vegas....I will try my hardest to see if I can squeeze them in before the end of the year...please comment below to let me know if there's enough interest for me to do them there.
My schedule will be changing, and I will need to find a different way to take care of my family, Glaminars are very expensive to put on, and I will need to spend my time working on other things to take care of my family. I want to spend more time with my family...even though I only travel when my ex-husband has the kids, usually leaving right after I drop them off...I want to be able to spend more time with them and be rested!
There truly are no words to express how much I will miss the joy, love and the amazing impact that is felt by everyone at the Glaminars....I hope one day there will be a way that I will be able to resume them again.
Please enjoy this video and kind words from Alyssa...after the Glaminar in Chicago...she was also a brave model that let me show off her "cute nose" to everyone! Thank you Alyssa and all the precious hearts that are know in my Glaminar-inspired-hearts space in my heart!
Please comment below if you'd go to a Glaminar in San Francisco or Los Angeles if I can fit one more in this year.

huge love and sadness that I won't be able to do these anymore...but excitement that I won't know what the future will hold....types with love, kandee

you work so very hard kandee! it shows in how successful you are! (i was surprised that you ddidn't have an assistant do all that-- maybe that's also why your Glaminars are so awesome because you take care of every last detail.) if you were able to have a Glaminar in the LA area, I would definitely be interested in attending. Thank you for who you are and the inspiration you have been to many many people!

Hello Kandee. My mother has introduced me to you, all your bloggy world and youtube wonderfulness! I absolutely love you! You have inspired me to FINALLY make the decision to go to beauty school to get my esthetician license. I know that my mom and I would drive to either L.A, S.F. or Vegas for a Glaminar. I almost cried when I realized I had just missed the west coast tour. We're in the Carson City area, so it's close enough for us where ever you choose. Thank you so much for even considering doing another Glaminar!

I completely understand and wish you the best. You still continue to give us so much through this blog and through youtube and it is greatly appreciated.
I hope that one day you'll be able to do Glaminars again! In the meantime, take care of yourself and your family because that is most important! - August 20, 2010 at 8:54 AM

I just want to say you are AMAZING, and inspire all us women and I am sure men too. As you stated your health and family are important, and instead of having 1 more, maybe you should pause it now, and do for you. It will sadly be missed, but understood.

KANDEE!!!!! I would love to come back to the Glaminars if you have them in LA! Thank you so much for the impact that you've had in my life! I can't say thank you enough! And I was so down last night and today about fulfilling this dream, and then I read your post and just watching myself and how excited and happy I am about makeup reminded me that I CAN do this! Oh its Alyssa btw lol

If you can't make it, I understand - I appreciate all the effort you put forth to hold these Glaminars. You're a true kind soul. Your health and happiness comes first so make sure to take care of yourself!
I hope that one day you can come to Las Vegas (or somewhere else near me) so that my life can be touched by your sunshine as well...
I love you Kandee! <333 - August 20, 2010 at 9:40 AM

I really wish that you would do a Glaminar in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I am unable to make it to the one in Houston due to finances. I was hoping that I would get to make it to one next year, and saddened when I learned that there wouldnt be anymore. I am praying for many blessings for you and your family. Kandee you do such a great job!! I am very happy that I found you recently on youtube!!! Keep up the good work. Be blessed!

Hey Kandee,
I love your videos and everything you do. U inspire so many of us and I wish u continue doing what u are doing. However, I am concerned about some of the products you use. I would like u and anyone applying makeup to be aware of the ingredients that are in a few common makeup brands that may be hazardous to your health. I'm sure u may know of some ingredients. Here are a few deadly makeup chemicals that may sneak into you eye shadows, lip balms, lotions, or any other skin care and make up products.
Parabans (methyl, ethl, ….)- these are preservatives to extend product shelf life. May cause allergic reactions. Some studies show a correlation to paraban usage and breast cancer. Also they have estrogenic activity that may cause hormonal changes.
References http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraben
Fragrances/Perfume- Ever had a headache from smelling something over a period of time or was too strong? lots of chemicals are commonly used in perfume and most are synthetic compounds. Realistically, companies cannot list all these ingredients on a bottle and just put Fragrance under the ingredients. So, you'll probably never know the truth of what is hiding inside.
Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate- a skin and eye irritant, so why are they putting it in skin care products???
These are a few of the many ingredients in common cosmetic products. A great website I like to go on to check the toxicity of makeup is:
Cosmeticsdatabase.com (you just type in the name brand and scientists rate the product hazards. THIS IS AN AWSOME SITE!!!
Modernhippiemag.com (a cool website that lists stuff on healthy living)
We can choose what we put in and on are bodies to look are optimum best. But to do so we
have to be cautious and read the ingredients and have a good knowledge base to understand what's going on.
Always stay smart,
Tanya - August 20, 2010 at 10:40 AM

Yes, San Francisco Please! All of northern California, Sacramento area and down to Bakersfield definately could drive to San Francisco (a 4 hours drive is nothing, come on people, it is so worth it!!!).
So if you choose to do it, SAN FRANCISCO!!!! Please!
But you make the call!
You are an inspiration and putting your family and health above doing more glaminars is the absoulte right decision and I so totally aplaud you for it and hope for San Francisco or for 2012!
BLESSINGS TO YOU!!! - August 20, 2010 at 10:40 AM

Dear Kandee,
I'm so glad i signed up this year!! I cant wait I'm super stoked to meet you and learn from your experience. I am so happy you decided to come to NYC this year.
Im sure many are sad to hear that you wont be able to continue glaminars for a while but i think i can say that any who have been able to take advantage of your glaminars truly appreciate the hard work, thoughtfulness, cupcakes:), talent and character that you put in to them!
AND im sure that many can appreciate that you obviously care so much for your family and love to spend time with them as a understandable reason to retire from glaminars for a bit. And of course you must take care of you!
Thanks Kandee for continuing to spread your joy and skills despite your busy life!
Cant wait to meet you :) - August 20, 2010 at 10:54 AM

Hi Kandee, it's a shame that you can't go on with the Glaminars next year but I totally understand you need to take care of many other things. I just wanted to tell you that if you could delay the last Glaminar in LA or SF it would be AWESOME. WHy... I'm from Argentina and I am planning to go to California to work the whole winter, and if I can attend to one of your Glaminars it'd be more than a dream come true!! So wherever you want in California is great, as long as you do it like in December!! And if you can't... Well there'll be some other time, I'm sure...
Take care and just keep being so inspiring!!

Aww, my heart goes out to you Kandee. Honestly, after your accident, I was surprised you were going to do so many Glaminars! When I saw you weren't going to do them anymore, I cried! I have been dying to go, but my husband and I are stationed in Hawaii and about to move, so I've had ZERO opportunities to go :( We kept saying "next year" and looks like thats not going to happen. If you had just one more this year, esp. in Cali or Vegas, I would do EVERYTHING I could to make it! Your health and family are first and foremost of course, and I respect how you always put them first :) I hope you start feeling better soon! Just let it be known that if you do add just 1 more Glaminar, there will be a HUGE interest in it, and not just from me! :)

LA - check!
San Francisco - check!
Sacramento - check!
La Tahoe (hhmmm,
actually not a bad idea to get away..) - check!
I will donate food, drinks - heck! let's make a pot luck outta this! I'm down! haha! Just so long as you're health isn't compromised in any way shape or form. You're health is all you got Kandee. Your health and passion allows us to see how magnificent you are. Take heed and listen to it.
Ever consider Skype classes? You still get to teach us makeup basis in the comfort of your own home. That goes for everyone for that matter. At the end of the course, we'll all meet somewhere for a "Glaminar Graduation" while you hand out the certificates? Then, the best part - meet and greet/party!
Your traveling, board & lodging expenses will be dramatically reduced. Plus, more time with your precious babies. :)
Not sure what the whole Skype thing entails but, I've been to a few Skype classes/discussions Oprah conducted and it was great! You might want to consider and look into it.
But trust and believe that if you book it, we will come! :) - August 20, 2010 at 11:48 AM
- Lisa Teller said...
Kandee! I would love for you to do a Glaminar in San Francisco as I am only 30 minutes away from there! But if you decide NOT to do one there let me know ASAP because I'm going to try to make it across the country to see you.
Also, what if you had help managing and putting together the Glaminars?? I would definitely be willing to help you put together the San Francisco one and other ones if you would like. I was also considering going to school for event planning so this would be a great opportunity for me to see if its really something I'd like to pursue.
I'm pretty well organized and would love to help you plan these out! Love ya Kandee!! - August 20, 2010 at 11:50 AM

kandee im so happy i was able to attend the seattle glaminar esp since i live only a mile from the W Hotel!
im sure hosting a glaminar is expensive, stressful, happy, fun, and overwhelming all at the same time but i had fun and everyone else had fun and we all love you.
do yourself a favor and take a break to just relax and heal your leg.
love you KJ!!

Kandee I'd love it if Ýou could come back to LA to do another Glaminar! But you gotta put your health and your family first girl! Maybe you need an assistant, I'd volunteer for that job!
Do whatever your heart tells you to do, and if you decide to do one more LA or SF glaminar, you can definitely count on me being there!
You are an inspiration to so many! - August 20, 2010 at 1:27 PM
- josie said...
You need to do what you need to do, and we all have to continually rearrange our lives in order to keep our priorities straight in life. Your top priorities are your family and your health, and you are smart enough to know that and remember it at all times.
I finally watched the video where you talk about past (and also the one about your leg…OMG, OMG, OMG…ok I'm done freaking out lol you are so, SO, BRAVE!) Aaanyway, learning a little more about you as a person, I totally understand why you'd need to step back and realize that as much as you love doing the Glaminars, it is something that's just not viable RIGHT NOW. You are so smart and savvy that I'm sure there will come a time soon when you'll be able to dictate your own schedule and work-pace, with which will come more freedom to do all these other things that you love so much. As it is, you are truly lucky to be doing what you absolutely love, and it really does show, and it's something that if only everyone in the world did, we'd be a much, much happier planet!
It takes TREMENDOUS courage and I know you get that from having lived through the many bad things that happened to you, but really it's how you chose to deal with those bad things, because had it been someone else, they would have allowed themselves to be broken down and who knows where they would be now. I'm lucky to have a friend who is just like you, she has your spirit of endurance and joy, and I just love her so, so much! I call her "Mamma Love" because she is older but oh so young at heart, and you just want to hug her and kiss her and have her make you some cookies lol She too had some bad, bad times in her life and she almost didn't make it out, but you should look at her now!
Anyway, I congratulate you for being SO courageous in so many aspects of your life, and don't worry, things will fall into place when they need to fall into place. The Glaminars are SUCH a great idea and I'm sure you'll one day soon have the means and the time and the appropriate assistance to put them together again. In the meantime, build your client base and your fan base, so by the time you're ready for them again, they'll be a great success again!
Everything happens for a reason, even the bad things, but eventually the puzzle starts taking shape. But you knew all this, didn't you? LOL I think you must have been like a Buddha or something in your past life, because you have wisdom beyond your years – actually beyond many, many people's years!

Oh, one more thing I wanted to say was that perhaps you may consider doing online seminars? I know someone mentioned Skype, and there are other ways of setting them up where you can have people sign up (and pay) beforehand, and distribute written materials and stuff like that...I'd be willing to help you do some research into this possibility if you are ever interested in pursuing it, just let me know. ;)

hi kandee,
Don't worry about having to pause the Glaminars for a while. Your leg needs to recover, you need more time to prepare every Glaminar, you need more time to enjoy the Glaminars and most important you need more time to be with your family.
I would say 'breath' for a moment and may be in October you can start planning one last 2010 Glaminar. - August 20, 2010 at 3:23 PM

I completely understand why you no longer can continue doing the gaminars although I am rather disappointed I do understand why. I really do hope that I can make it to the one in toronto because I wasnt going to come until next years glaminar because I cant afford it right now. I will probably save every paycheck I get until then so I can come see you because I would really love to meet you. Idk if you got my message before but I said in there that I just want to come to meet you and all the learning and gift bag stuff is just a bonus. I know you must be feeling terrible having to give up something you love but it is also important that you spend time with you family. I myself know what it is like to have to give up things that I once loved to help raise my family and I was only 13. I really wish you the best and I can imagine what you must be going through but just remember that you have soo many people that love you and support you and no matter what happens we will be here for you. I know Ive only just recently became apart of you blog readers and youtube watchers but I am completley in awe of you. Every time I watch you its like the highlight of my day and you keep me motivated to keep moving on. I know youve heard probably all of this a million times but I wanted to tell you anyways. You are the best and I will keep watching your videos and reading your blogs for as long as I have the internet. I really hope I can save up enough money to make it to torontos glaminar because I definitley wont have enough to make it to the one in NYC on time. I will probably be saving every nickle and dime I have to come see you and I hope that says how much I really want to meet you. I am really going out on the limb just to come see you and I hope you appreciate me as much as I appreciate you. I just wanted you to know how important this really is to me and that I stand behind you no matter what you choose. I hope you have an amazing day and I hope your healh returns to normal and just try to take it easy!!! - August 20, 2010 at 3:30 PM
yuu u should really try to come to san fransisco. But I'm gonna try my hardest to go to whereverr u got do themm :D I wouldnt miss iss furr the worldd! haa

You take the time you need to be that awesome mommy you are and they need and let your leg heal. We will all still be here for you. Hugs and prayers for you always.

Hi Kandee, I just want to say that I admire you so much and appreciate everything you do for your faithful and loyal viewers. I truly understand how hard it must be for your and your family. Unfortunately I was unable to attend your past glaminars. I was hoping that one would be closer to me, I am in Sacramento and then I found out you wouldn't be doing anymore and now I am kicking myself in the you know what for not going to one of the past ones. If you do one in SF (I would definitely go, hands down no matter what) and possibly be able to attend LA or Vegas (I would try my hardest). If you decide not to do another one or are unable to then I completely get it and understand and I just know it wasn't meant to be and pray that you will have more when you can because I would love to attend one. With much love and encouragement to you, one of your loyal viewers....

Please make a Glamanar Dvd for all the people who can't make it. You could sell it on your site and maybe even donate some of the proceeds to a charity. ;)

I am so happy I attended the Glaminar in Chicago now that these may be the last! This post made me sad, but I completely understand your reasons. Yet I am still saddened by the news. Ha Ha. Let me tell you though, I've been suffering from depression for about a year now, I just couldn't handle a lot of things anymore and I went to the Glaminar and I laughed so much, and felt so happy the whole time. Even almost a week later I still think about it and talk about it and feel happy. So just know that doing these helps inspire people and make them happy and you learn so much, not just about make up, but on life. Thank you so much for doing these Kandee! I hope you enjoy your time with your kids and doing whatever you may do!
Tons of love, Heather - August 20, 2010 at 5:03 PM

Hi Kandee!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a Glaminar in LOS ANGELES!!!
I live in riverside county, and lately I have felt very lost and am trying to find ways to build my self esteem back. It was like out of no where I just have no confidence anymore. Then I found your videos on youtube and shared them with my friends and even found that doing make up on myself and my friends and family brings me such joy and that you helped me want to pursue a career in make up! I really want to work on movie sets or tv maybe get into special effects with make up as well :)
BUT I have no idea where to start!!
So that being said I would love to go to a Glaminar in LOS ANGELES. I could even try my hardest to make it out yo san fran or vegas.
Hopefully you have the time and are feeling up to fitting one more in!!
Thanks so much :) - August 20, 2010 at 6:57 PM

Even though a glaminar in SF or LA would be awesome, as I live 3 hrs away from either of them, and going to a Glaminar in Vegas would be awesome..you're health is more important and not just to you, but your kids. What good are you to them if you're not healthy? Take time to heal...then, come back to us, stronger and sweeter than ever! Plus, I love little stories about your day(s) with your three little ones! I am a single mommy of three as well! I'm the same age as you and your oldest and my oldest are the about the same age! LOL. Please get better, Kandee! We want you at (hopefully) more future glaminars, in full strength. (Also, it sounds like you need a personal assistant, with all that upkeep between mommihood, glaminars, videos, editing, and blogging.)

Kandee, you do so much, and putting on so many Glaminars in one year, I'm sure has been a whole lot of stress. Instead of stopping them all together, why not just do one or two locations a year with 6 months or so in between. You could have a new city each year. This way you could still do the Glaminars that you love so much, but the stress level will be much lower. Also you could hire some assistants or interns or both. Whichever you decide, we'll still love and support you!!
Thanks for all that you do!
Much love from Florida. - August 20, 2010 at 7:57 PM

Oh my gosh! Kandee, you have inspired me to always follow my dreams even though I may feel like giving up! And now you are! I know it may be hard to continue doing glaminars but you can do it! You can do anything if you set your mind to it! Never give up! I'm sorry that times may be tough at the moment but I believe that you can persevere! I believe in you! Hahaha I know this all sounds super corny but think about all those you inspired to follow their dreams! Don't give up on yours! I understand that you may need a break, and that's okay. But you can't take a permanent break! That would be dreadful! Please, please, please don't let us down.

hi kandee, its been awhile. i am sad and sorry you will have to take a pause on what you love, but please dont worry. God will lead you and maybe this is a way for him to tell you its time for a rest, even from what you love. You have shared you heart and soul and love with so many and touched more people than you can imagine. You still will. I can only imagine how challanging it must be for you to be traveling with your leg not fully back to normal and also missing your little babies. How lucky for your Jordan to have the opportunity to go with you these last few times - it will be good memories for you and he to look back on. I want to do soemthing for you, but I am far away. Wait, I know what I can do, let me go get my box. I am going to pick out a quote for you. hold on...................okay kandee, please believe me, this is the truth. I went to get my box and i have a fan on, so when I opened the box one small quote came flying out and this is what is says, ....so meant for you! "Beilive in the power of the process, when you are confident that no matter what happens in your life, you will be okay - when every day you believe that the same force that holds the stars in the sky is certianly strong enough to sustain you....by Oprah. I felt like you needed one more, so I put my hands in the box and pulled this one, ironically it was another by Oprah, "We have to keep transforming ourselves to become who we ought to be"..a very sweet and wonderful girl once wrote, never give up....it was you kandee...never give up you and your family are going to be okay. I will always watch and look at your blog. You are a freind, even if i cant type on it every day. I read and I wish you well! love Stephanie. I hope you got my letter, im not sure if you may have tried to email back, cause im sure you get soooooo many communications. No worries. If you come to San Fransico I would love to go.

Dear Kandee, I'm a 29 year old girl from Amsterdam in the middle of my second burnout but recently I got in touch with my inner self and found out the joy I'm experiencing with makeup. But then you came along and you inspired me to really do something with it and now I'm starting a course to be a make up artist! Thanx to you I decided to change my life for the better. Men If I had the money I would fly over in a heartbeat to one of your Glaminars. I think it's amazing what you do and achieved in life and thank you so much for sharing it with the world!! I feel so happy and excited since I found you on the internet, for the first time in my life I'm following my dream and taking control of my life. Your my Guru!!!
Thank you so much Kandee and I wish you all the best with your health and family!!

Hey Kandee, when I read that you're looking for another means of supporting your family, it reminded me this article that I just happened to read today--
It's about YouTube video creators who make money by hosting banner ads on their channel. I don't know if you've ever considered it before, but with the number of viewers you have, I would think you could fare very well by doing this :) - August 21, 2010 at 5:41 AM

and need YOUR help. Yes, we NEED you too!!!
If you're not able to travel around the world to talk to use, please, be so kind to supply us with as many youtube videos as you can to spread your love out there!!!
Finally, I thought you have HELP doing the glaminars, organizing everything and dealing with emails, reservations,.... ????!!!!!
You should definitely get some more help!!!! Someone who uploads your videos, is responsible for glaminars, and everything else!!
So you precious little girl can spend more time with your family and don't have to stop inspiring people all over the world!!!

Something you may consider... getting local college interns who may be interested in event planning, fashion, or someone interested in some management, who may want the experiences or references or be interested in the biz. willing to do this as a learning experience to help you with the "behind the scenes"... and maybe let them sit in on the Glaminar, you never know who you may touch in just a simple help request... I know because, I was an education major and I went to a local child care facility and asked if I could come and work, no cost, just to gain experience... I don't know if people out there are interested anymore in doing things just for experiences and knowledge but it was how things used to be... like wearing coats and ties and business dress for job interviews. -good luck in whatever you choose to do. I hope the pause isn't very long but do what you have to do girl. Thanks for everything you have done so far! you are very much loved and cherished!

Put me down +1. I've prayed for you, your family and the many hats you wear on a daily basis...Most of all I thank God He's using you to touch me and others.

Hi Kandee! You are, without a doubt, the most inspirational and motivational person I have ever seen. You have given me the courage to follow my dream of becoming a make-up artist. You make me feel as if I can do anything and the possibilities are endless. You always put a smile on my face and brighten up my day with your beautiful personality. I can't even begin to imagine how hard your schedule must be and I truly commend you for putting your family and health first.
I am 18 years old from SAN FRANCISCO and it would be unbelievably incredible if you could have a Glaminar here in SF. I would be there in a heartbeat! If SF isn't possible; I would even find a way to go to LA (But it would be waaayy cooler if you came here =D)
Thank you so much for bringing, not only your knowledge, but your never-ending encouragement to my life. I admire you so much for your positive outlook on life – if only more people could be like you!! - August 23, 2010 at 12:44 PM

You need to get a virtual assistant to take care of all the busy work so you can concentrate on the fun! - September 5, 2010 at 4:24 AM

Information regarding warranty service and products with missing or altered serial numbers.
If a serial number has rubbed or torn off from sliding in and out of a carrying case, has faded from exposure to the sun, or a part was replaced in a previous repair but the serial number was not replaced, the product may still be eligible for warranty service.  Go to Product Repair.
Products that have an altered serial number, cut and replaced number, or a serial number that has been deliberately removed are not eligible for warranty service. This is due to the fact that some state laws prohibit the handling of these products to prevent the repair of possible stolen property. This information is included on the Limited Warranty card provided with your product.
NOTE: The location of the product serial number can be found in either the product Users Guide or Specifications, and the product Manuals, Specifications and the Limited Warranty card are all available online. Manuals are posted on your model support page.
