I consistently get asked the questions...."Where do you meet people and get business?" And my answer is always the same, I do the things I love to do and support the people who live by The Golden Rule.  This means, surround yourself with people who reciprocate and truly want to help those around them, not just take for their own gain.  When you are out doing the things you do daily, you will meet people who are dying to speak to you.  Smile, say hello, compliment people when you notice something....communication leads to lovely connections and friendships. NOW...even if you are wonderful at showing up to all of these places and meeting all sorts of people, you will never be able to be EVERYWHERE, all of the time, so VIDEO is a lovely vehicle to reach tons of folks!  Here's how!

The Facts:

• California is home to some of the worst pollution in the nation, 90% of us live in counties affected by unhealthy air.
• Lung disease is responsible for one in seven deaths in the United States.
• Asthma is the number one chronic disease of children. More than 5 million Californians have been diagnosed with asthma, including one million children.
• Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in the US, killing more people than breast, colon, pancreas & prostate cancers combined. In California 38,000 people are afflicted with lung cancer.

Ok, scary right?

We asked Maria Bernabe, Lung Association spokesperson, about the organization, the gala this Saturday and the color turquoise.

CELEBZTER: Tell us about the Lung Force Gala.

 The LUNG FORCE Gala, being held this Saturday, June 28 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, is the very first of its kind in the United States. Attendees and donors support the American Lung Association LUNG FORCE movement dedicated to raising awareness and fighting lung cancer, the number one cancer killer of both and women in the United States.

The LUNG FORCE Gala brings together hundreds of generous guests to honor those people in our community who are leading this fight. This year we honor a true LUNG FORCE Hero, Cynthia Munzer – a mezzo-soprano who was with the Metropolitan Opera in New York for more than 20 years before becoming a vocal arts professor at USC; Dr. Denise Aberle of UCLA, who is on the forefront of lung cancer research and a leading advocate for early testing of lung cancer; andSEIU-ULTCW, led by its president Laphonza Butler – saluting those who take care of our loved ones each and every day.                              continued....http://celebzter.com/just-the-facts-maam-because-breathing-isnt-overrated/

Today was an awesome day!  Not ONLY was LUNG FORCE LAUNCHED to the entire nation, I was blessed to be present for the proclamation of Women's Lung Health Week at the LA Board of Administration!  It was very official and incredible to see how this stuff comes down!  Right before we were called up to the stage area, they were giving the top nurse from each hospital recognition and awards!  One nurse was from the Philippines and he gave a speech that brought tears to my eyes!  He talked about how great America is and if you work hard enough, you can be anything you want to be and make all of your dreams come true!  IT WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!


Now that our new mission is out in the open for all of the world to see.....let's take this mission by FORCE!  LET'S WORK TOGETHER FOR THIS CAUSE.....join me in rasing money at the June 28th Gala!  The money goes to early detection so that we don't have to lose so many people to this #1 Cancer Killer!  American is an awesome place....let's work hard to make this a better place to breathe!  

We are less than 6 weeks out from our Gala, if you want to get involved by donating items to our silent auction, purchasing a chair and attending or sponsoring this event, please reach out to me directly, as I am the Co-Chair for the event and will get you involved IMMEDIATELY!
