#ThankfulThursday - Edition #11: Regan Jeric
Regan is an ALL STAR and one of the sweetest girls I have met. This might embarass her, but she was officially Volite's first model! ;) She worked for my Mom as an Office Assistant and always did a stellar job. She would often help with various side projects for Volite, from organizing paperwork to prepping flyers and ultimately modeling when we needed some photos taken for marketing promos. Regan is someone who is always willing to learn and grow, to push herself and to go out of her way to care for others. She also has really great taste in music and we share a common love for a lot of the same bands. Thank you for all of your support, Regan! You've been there through the start-up phase of Volite's business operations and I really appreciate all that you've done to help :)

#MusicMonday - [TAKE ACTION EDITION] Michael Jackson: "Heal The World"
#MusicMonday this week is dedicated to Michael Jackson, who is a timeless and classic Musician that has and continues to inspire the importance of individuality around the world through respect for diversity. It is hard to put into words what Michael did to inspire others, so in the true beauty and essence of music, it shall speak for itself...
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread
We stop existing and start living
The it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
What can you do to heal the world?
In partnership with www.ichoosemynews.com, here is my personal list to take action:
- Use a reusable water bottle everyday.
- Use a mug, instead of paper or compostable cups for coffee/tea.
- Take the bus, walk or ride my bike to work everyday.
- Help plant trees (and send digital certificates when I do).
- Pick up trash when I see it on the ground around me, especially foil products.
- Use reusable grocery/tote bags when shopping/traveling and in general for carrying items.
- Use digital resources as much as possible, instead of paper (i.e. sporting event and concert tickets).
- Carpool with friends and family whenever possible (...the more the merrier!)
- Support and donate to conservation organizations by being aware and volunteering my time and money to help.

- Encourage others to do these things through word of mouth and actively engage in asking others what they are doing to help so that I can learn and do what they are doing, too.

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #10: Joey Hernandez
I met Joey in college through mutual friends back in 2004 when I first started Volite and he has always been a big fan and supporter ever since. He is one of the sweetest guys I have ever met and he has always made it a point to keep in touch to let me know how much he loves the brand and the different products I've released over the years. When I started making jewelry, he was one of the first to order a charm bracelet and when I was promoting the brand, he took it upon himself to send me a really cool picture of him rockin' his chucks with the promo picks scattered around.
I still vividly remember the day he called me to tell me he was getting the logo tattooed and I almost shit my pants. [NOTE: Not literally and yes, I swear. A lot. Probably more than I should. Oh well. It's a part of who I am and to me it is just a small part of expression in language...] ANYWAYS, I remember when he called me and I told him I HAVE TO BE THERE to support you! He wanted it done ASAP and was getting it within a week so I wasn't able to coordinate being there with him, but it turned out great and I am so amazed that he did that!
It means so much to me to have friends like Joey supporting me and the brand. Loyalty and friendship are so important in life and I believe they are truly key elements to happiness. Thank you so much, Joey! Your support means the world to me and I am forever grateful to know that you believe in my brand and in me as much as I do :) You inspire me and I hope that Volite continues to inspire you.

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #9: Shannon Smoot
Thankful Thursday this week is dedicated to Shannon Smoot, my ride or die best friend. We met back when we were super young at the beginning of our AYSO soccer days when her Dad was our coach. We've gone to elementary, middle and high school together experiencing the many ups and downs of life together. Shannon has always been by my side and we have often joked about "being in same boat" because we are so much alike and tend to face the same challenges and reality checks in life at the same time. She is a true inspiration to me and a friend who I genuinely trust and respect. Shannon is someone who I look up to as a role model and someone who has taught me so much about myself and about life through our endless conversations that contemplate the many complexities of life. She always strives to do more and be more so that she can walk her talk and truly be the change she wants to see in the world. I am so grateful to call her my friend and to have someone that I know I can always count on.

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #8: My Sister, Rachel
Thankful Thursday this week is dedicated to my older Sister, Rachel. She was my very first friend and has always been by my side. She looks out for me, supports me, laughs with me, cries with me and always has my back no matter what. We've had some epic battles as siblings and shared a room for the greater part of our childhood. I've borrowed her clothes many times without asking and hoped I could sneak them back into her dresser before she got home and noticed. Over the years she's taught me how to stand tall as an individual by letting me be who I am and she's introduced me to many different genres of music, including taking me to my first concert with Mom to see Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Ginuwine when I was 10 years old. I am so grateful to have a Sister and to have MY Sister as a friend and someone that I know I can always count on.

#MusicMonday - Hardly Strictly Bluegrass at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA
#MusicMonday this week is dedicated to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA. This event is offered for free every year in loving honor of Warren Hellman.
I attended yesterday and had such a great time wandering around to the various stages and enjoying the overall atmosphere of the event. The park is beautiful and everything is well spread out so you can roam around and catch music at different stages throughout the day.
One artist that I especially loved was a woman named Caroline de Lone who I watched play with her Dad, Austin de Lone at the Bandwagon mobile music venue.
