Santa Cops Provide Children with Gifts this Holiday Season

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Foundation can’t think of a merrier way to celebrate than hosting its annual Santa Cops with more than 200 children enjoying a fun-filled morning shopping with LVMPD officers at Walmart. Participating children come from low-income families who are unable […]

Safety First

A terrible accident awakens a motorcycle enthusiast’s passion for protective gear. BY PAMELA WHITE On September 17, we had Nevada’s first-ever charity motorcycle ride for Sickle Cell Disease — an event that changed my life forever after my husband suffered a terrible accident. The morning weather was beautiful when we began the day with a […]

PEACE: Rise UP from HURT!

This holiday season is like a magical spark that comes in a flash — and as the sun rises, it’s over. Yes, that moment when love is permitted to enter your heart and spread across your face with smiles that capture light. But many of us have been hurt by those closest to us. Hurt […]

PEACE: Make space for WE!

It is amazing how ubiquitous silos, cliques, and teams can be. If you have been exposed to or grew up with the idea that you must be accepted into a particular group to make your life worthwhile — that is sad.

Don’t be delusional about your individual steps towards right. Numbers don’t […]

Up the Hill

The FWR includes local chapters across Alaska, Arizona, California, Nevada, […]

PEACE: Someone is Taking MY STUFF

It’s a different time and space whereby others find discomfort in other’s stuff. Not their STUFF, but the stuff that belongs to someone else. This awakens the giant in all — when something is taken. The universe is built on strong foundations because of consistency. The constant that brings about absolution. One’s movement towards self-empowerment […]

Dear Mommy and Poppy

By Sarah A. Williams I’m sorry you have to see me this way But a bad man killed a lot of us today He just walked into our school With nothing to say And started shooting everybody In a casual way I looked up and saw my teacher fall She knocked over the desk against […]
