Health Tip: Abuse
Abuse (by word, deed, or neglect) is the purposeful infliction of malice/harm on a being. Unfortunately, many reality shows are promoting this behavior. Thus, aggression (bullying) has increased in popularity among the young and the old. The way to stop this epidemic is to purposely avoid supporting such acts and to positively intervene when witnessing abuse. Have A Healthy Day!!!

Personal Safety Tip!
This was taken from a newsletter we recently received and we wanted to share:
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you. Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat.
Wasp Spray - a friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting the collection.
She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home protection.

Movie Review: Sparkle
"Sparkle" follows the trials and tribulations of a sister R&B trio trying to make it big in Detroit.
Tammy referred to as Sister (Carmen Ejogo) is the sexy and sassy lead singer looking for love. Dee (Tika Sumpter) is the brainy one with dreams of attending Meharry Medical College to become a doctor. (Shout out to Meharry). Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) is the shy songwriter with dreams of being a star. Emma (Whitney Houston) plays the over protective mother who vows not to let her daughters make the same mistakes she did.
Sparkle's love of music and dream of becoming a star are almost overshadowed by an over protecting mother, a sister's turbulent relationship and her own insecurities. Jordin's performance brings an innocence to Sparkle as she struggles with reconciling what she wants with what her mother expects. Whitney's performance of " His Eye Is On The Sparrow" is definately a touching highlight. The surprise of the movie is the performance by Mike Epps. He stretches beyond the typical funny man role. The star of the movie is Carmen Ejogo (Sister) as she goes from sexy vixen to defiant daughter to family protector.
Other members of the cast include Derek Luke, CeeLo Green, Omari Hardwick and Tamela Mann.
The movie reminds us all to fight for our dreams in spite of our circumstances. Go see Sparks in her acting debut, see Houston's last acting performance and Ejogo's star performance.
