#MusicMonday is dedicated to men in music this month. As we recognize MOVEMBER and the importance of men's health, this week and the following 3 weeks will be dedicated to men in music.
This week features Landon Barker, Bryce Vine, YONAS and Lupe Fiasco who are all young men that inspire others with their musical talent, creativity and laid back, yet in your face confidence. #BeYouBeTrue
#MusicMonday is dedicated to Lupe Fiasco and his song called, "The Show Goes On". This song has a great message of inspiration and motivation for working hard no matter what. May it inspire you!
"Alright, already the show goes on
All night, till the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder,
When they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on!
Alright, already the show goes on
All night, till the morning we dream so long
Anybody ever wonder,
When they would see the sun up
Just remember when you come up
The show goes on!
So no matter what you been through
No matter what you into
No matter what you see when you look outside your window
Brown grass or green grass
Picket fence or barbed wire
Never ever put them down
You just lift your arms higher
Raise 'em 'til your arms tired
Let em' know you're there
That you struggling and survivin'
That you gonna persevere
Yeah, ain't no body leavin',
No body goin' home
Even if they turn the lights out the show is goin' on!"

#ThankfulThursday - Edition #15: Jaclyn Jackel Jaclyn is like a sister to me and we grew up together, along with my older Sister and her younger Sister. We've passed clothes back and forth amongst the 4 of us, filled with plenty of embarrassing photos and videos from the 80s and 90s as our "sharing is caring" attitude transcended our fashion styles. Jaclyn has always been by my side regardless of the miles between us and she has always encouraged me to follow my dreams. She has always supported my passion for Volite and years ago gave me the first notebook that I ever used to write down my ideas and first draft drawings of the original logo. She always knows how to make me and anyone else around her laugh, making every time we're together a good time.Jaclyn is an amazingly talented graphic designer, who is super creative and has an unfiltered passion that truly ignites a spark when we are brainstorming together. We have so many different visual design concepts that we can't wait to share with you and to launch with Volite! I am so grateful for Jaclyn and for the many years of friendship we have shared. I know that I can always depend on her and I can't wait to make our ideas a reality so that you can follow along and be inspired by our silliness.
#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...
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.

FULL LYRICS TO "HEAL THE WORLD" by MICHAEL JACKSON:
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

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.
