Easter Sunday! Family for ALL

A message to everyone who is not with their family or cant be with their family or simply those who do not have any family.
It is nice to have loved ones,you experience a love like no other,it is the only purpose of life.
But don’t forget that Family is not defined by blood. Many times you will find that your blood family can hurt you more than any stranger on the street. Family is defined by commitment, loyalty, and love. A man and wife are not blood but they are family. A dog and the owner are not blood but they are family.
Having family is the most important accomplishment you can achieve.
But not having any family does not mean you are lonely. Loneliness is a state of mind.
You may be alone but that does not mean you have to be lonely.Reach beyond your comfort zone and grab on to love, peace, forgiveness,and realize scientifically that we are all one!
We are all family!
Enjoy your Easter Sunday!

Final Day of 40 Days For Life

40 Days For Life is a worldwide movement that values Life. Plain and simple; any other words are just confusing details open to limited interpretation. The value of life is not open to conversation or debate. It simply is!

40 Days For Life is ….you got it! 40 Days of dedicated grassroots call -to – action strategy that protects life. February 13 – March 24 you can find people in meditation, prayer, action, and conversation that results in peace, love, and saving the lives of families across the globe.

I am 100% behind this movement, not because I am Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Republican, Liberal, Tall, Short, Asian, or Smart. I am behind it because I truly know the only real thing that matters; LIFE . Everyone knows that at the core. It just takes some longer to arrive there in order

As you all know, I value life, peace, love and the present moment. As Eckhart Tolle  says “The present moment is all you have” . Simply put he explains that past and future are thought forms,pure hallucinations that will drag you away from the only thing you have,the present moment.

In the present moment the only you have is acceptance of what is. Life. When you go against that in anyway you go against yourself, nature, and the source of who you truly are.

Go with life not against it

Transcend your limiting labels and realize deeply that you ARE life, you don’t have it.

I plan to start my own movement for life and I am certainly going to adopt some of these peaceful solutions to saving the MOST VULNERABLE lives across this planet; the young human!

“There are plenty of high-quality places to be discovered in town, but unfortunately, current local search engines use a flawed star-rating algorithm that favors large standardized places instead of higher-quality authentic local businesses. With our new technology we get rid of star-ratings and we help people discover the true topten places in town.”

ShopLocket lets anyone start selling professionally online in minutes. Simply publish a product, embed it in any website, Facebook page, or blog post, and start seeing the green pile – well, maybe start to mound at the very least.

“ShopLocket was born out of an opportunity that I saw in the market while developing themes for Shopify. I realized that as awesome as storefront solutions are they require you to leave behind whatever platform you had originally been using and start from scratch. Quick alternatives like PayPal buy buttons and marketplaces just seemed unprofessional.”

Mathew Guiver of WeFile.it

Meet Mathew Guiver, the “life-long entrepreneur” and tax-time friend at WeFile.it. He will be pitching us at SF New Tech’s 3/20 event on their new service WeFile.it.

They verify the experience and specialties, and also ensure they are responsive and friendly.

“I started WeFile.it to do something disruptive in the tax space. A majority of the clients at the consulting firm I started after college were in the tax and finance industry. It gave me a first hand look into how outdated their products are, and quite honestly, the amount of corruption that runs rampant in the industry.”

C.J. MacDonald of Herdmark

Meet C.J. MacDonald, one of the founders at Herdmark. He will be on the bill for SF New Tech’s 3/20 event on their new collaboration tool – Herdmark. Herdmark allows you to create a library of great resources that you can use, share and add.

“We thought that there was no good way to share bookmarks with your team. There are bookmarking tools, like delicious, but they don’t do anything for groups of collaborators. And there are team collaboration tools but they don’t have much if any support for bookmarks, and anyway, they do so many things that we believe that they are not used for bookmarks. We think that bookmarks hold a sort of “corporate knowledge” in an organization and for subgroups in an organization. We wanted to make a focussed tool for bookmarks

Technology of my Skin Care is Sun Protection

 

Face and skin secrets
Face and skin secrets

This post is not about a start up, coding, funding or disruption …..its actually about makeup!

I recently posted a picture of me attempting to do my own eye make up and was flooded with comments about my skin, so I thought I would post my response for everyone to see.

Makeup is fun, key, and a must for most girls….but not That Tech Girl!

Make up to me is simple and meant to highlight your beauty, not cover it up. I have done a 5 minute makeup routine for years! However I have realized that I should be prepared in the event I have to do my own make up for film and television so I have started studying on YouTube. I have been blown away with all of the talent sharing tips.

Film make up is completely different from day to day make up. I find many people don’t know the difference or perhaps they just don’t care. For a regular day- to- day- there- are- no- red- carpets- or- cameras- following- me look, LESS is always best! For a camera ready look you will always want to go outside of your comfort zone and PACK IT ON!

I know I know make up and Tech don’t really seem to fit but guess what…THEY go hand and hand.

Makeup is a form a technology, it is a tool used to get you from where you currently are to where you want to be. It is a tool used as real life social media. It says a lot about you whether you like it or not.

So to get to the point and answer the question proposed to me by a number of people…..

HOW DOES YOUR MAKE UP LAY SO EFFORTLESSLY AND WHY IS YOUR SKIN SO CLEAR???….

SKIN CARE IS SUN PREVENTION:

  • I wear SPF 70 or higher EVERYDAY
  • On cloudy or rainy days I drop down to SPF 30
  • I do not consume more than 30 minutes of direct sunlight per day
  • I do not sleep in make up…DO NOT DO IT
  • I do not drink alcohol
  • I do not smoke or hang around smokers…I avoid 1, 2, 3rd hand smoke whenever possible
  • I do not have direct contact with the sun longer than 5-10 min at a time.
  • I ALWAYS use an umbrella /parasol/EXTRA large brim hat if I must be out in the sun (I shop coolibar.com
  • There you go that is the secret!

I would love to here your skin care tips!

The Beauty of Technology on the Bay Bridge

The Beauty of Technology!

Technology and Beauty comes in various forms and world-renowned artist Leo Villareal has found it! He debuts his vision as a stunning fine arts experience that will live for two years on the San Francisco Bay Bridge West Span, starting with the Grand Lighting on March 5, 2013.

THE IDEA:

ARTWORK: The Bay Lights is the world’s largest LED light sculpture, 1.8 miles wide and 500 feet high. Inspired by the Bay Bridge’s 75th Anniversary, its 25,000 white LED lights are individually programmed by artist Leo Villareal to create a never-repeating, dazzling display across the Bay Bridge West Span through 2015.

THE CONTRIBUTION :

IMPACT: The Bay Lights is a monumental tour de force eight times the scale of the Eiffel Tower’s 100th Anniversary lighting. Shining from dusk until 2:00 a.m. for two years, it will impact over 50 million people in the Bay Area, with billions more seeing it in the media and online. By conservative estimates, $97 million dollars will be added to the local economy.

THE LAUNCH EVENT:

7P-11P -MARCH 5 – FERRY BUILDING -SAN FRANCISCO- NO COVER & JUST RSVP FOR THIS EVENT & SPREAD THE WORD!! Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spotlight Bay Area creativity, innovation and you – one of many bright lights who make the Bay Area the incredible place that it is.

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO, Andrew Mason.

Loss is relative.

He has been fired. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quote!

“I was fired today. If you’re wondering why… you haven’t been paying attention. From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock price that’s hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the events of the last year and a half speak for themselves. As CEO, I am accountable.”

The Take away: Have a FREAKIN AWESOME QUOTE next time you are fired!

Tell me what you said to your employer/partner/client  the last time YOU were fired!

Ill start….

“Yea this wasnt working out for me either, I was going to contact you next week to end this relationship, I wish you the best!

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Innovation Month helps tell the story of San Francisco as the best place to live, work and play. More than any other city, San Francisco is uniquely poised to innovate and invent the future right here, right now, by capitalizing on our greatest resource – our people. And innovation isn’t just about technology – it’s about a different way of thinking and approaching our problems. It is through innovative approaches to crime fighting and community involvement that San Francisco remains one of the safest big cities in America. It is through new ways to make it easier for companies to do business in SF.
