This is a place where you can come for advice or a kind word. If you are in a group home, Foster care or had no family due to any circumstance, There are many things you may not have learned. I hope to motivate change in your life! If you have no family to inspire you on bad days, you may find something here to show you how to get out of your bubble and "take back your life! * These words are my opinions only and based on my 16 years in foster care!

Aging out where do we go from here
Hi blog family!
We have been busy trying to help more of our aged out fosters! Life goes on, even when we are busy!
Many of you don't know all of my story of when I aged out!
Not only will you get a chance to read about it in my new book this summer but you will hear stories by three friends from our, "Aged Out Panel" ; author of 'Garbage Bag Suitcase", (Mission Point Press), Shenandoah Chefalo will be available for book signing, Donna Maddox and myself. This is a FREE event to the public, (refreshments) at the Mount Kisco Public Library May 26th 5:30pm
Come learn how to overcome "plastic bag" trauma AND solutions to aging out gracefully!
When we aged out, you should be excited and eager but often that is not the case. Uncertainty and doubt does not have to plague you after foster care, take back your life and change your fate!
Smile, someone is watching you!

save the date May 26th and May 11th
hi blog family!
I know lots going on!!
FosterKidsUnite, Inc. would first like to say a big**
RIP to Jr., a great man who supported our foster youth! You will be missed and I am thankful for knowing you.
*RIP Garry Shanding!!
We will be having our 2nd comedy night fundraiser May 11th to raise money for scholarships for our aged out foster youth! Please come out to MTK in Mt. Kisco, NY and support 7pm - Comics lined up: #Dennis Ross #Rhonda Handsome #Johnny Figero #Kevin McGee #Jay Silverberg, ( and a couple on standby)....its comedy, you never know!
Please be kind to everyone you meet, you never know the state of mind they nor their body are in. We as a world are going through lots of trauma like Brussels. People react differently to stress and fear; homicide, suicide, addictions etc.. BE KIND, it never hurts to say a kind word OR walk away from a bad one!
Each day we wake without family is very hard BUT sending out good karma sends you the people you need in your life to get through each day...FRIENDS!! If I had a takeaway, it would be, smile and be kind to EVERYONE you meet, as you never know how good or bad they are feeling, what they are going through; cancer, suicide, sickness etc.. YOU may be the ONE person, that saves or changes their life and in return, they save or change a life!!! PAY IT FORWARD by being kind, it cost nothing! xoxo

X Ambassadors - Unsteady Guitar Center Sessions on DIRECTV
If I had to choose a song that represented how I felt the day my mother gave us away and never came back, this would be the song, it speaks my heart. I am well with my soul now so I can enjoy the sorrow because I made it through. Many of you are just realizing mom or dad may not ever come back for us, but we can still have joy and love in our hearts once we realize, this life journey is full of lessons, hurt, love and we can make it through anything IF we accept that sometimes, our parents are only a vehicle to get us here xo
Stay positive, focused and keep love in your heart, even when it doesn't seem to be available, its there keep open to the many forms it will come in

Ray LaMontagne - Trouble (Live Acoustic)
when I want to change my mood, I put on music, it is a cure for loneliness & any other ailments of the soul. A song is only as sad as you make it. This song picks me back up after a stressful day. We all have life challenges, no one is immune, how you pick back up, will be what matters xo
Smile, someone is watching you! God loves you so much he wants you to go out and do great positive things to save or change a life!!
Don't wallow in your mess, get up get out and help somebody and honor Dr. King and all those who died for us Americans to have freedom of speech and freedom to move! Do something to help others no matter their color, religion or sex, be kind to ALL people and you will be blessed! xo
