Vincent John Salvati and his miracles

My beloved nephew did not recover from his coma and was declared brain-dead on Friday, Feb 7, 2013.

Today, he is miraculously giving life to at least seven other individuals in desperate need of a new organ. For these families, I pray that Vincent’s miracles bring the healing they need.

In honor of my nephew Vincent, please watch this short documentary about The Opiate Effect. Share it as widely as you can. Then think about the message you are sending when you reach for something to numb yourself from Life’s pain.

Posted on December 22, 2013 by shawnnaDecember 22, 2013

It is impossible to watch what goes on in this world without crumbling into despair. I find myself reading the stories about the economy bouncing back and wonder why no one I know feels/lives like that. I read an article … Continue reading →

Growth

Posted on December 17, 2013 by shawnnaDecember 17, 2013

I like to imagine a country where the entire economy wasn’t dependent on wanton materialism. Where your value to society is based on your work to lift up those in need within that society. Where teachers, nurses, plumbers, care givers … Continue reading →
