Speaking out against Domestic Violence

October 6, 2010

Domestic violence touches millions – more than seven out of 10 Americans know someone who is or has been a victim – but somehow it still remains a taboo subject.

The Allstate Foundation is asking everyone to Tell a Gal Pal about domestic violence so we can face the issue together during October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month – and beyond.

Far too often women and young girls do not speak up for fear of embarrassment from their peers. We have no idea the torment and mental anguish that they have to experience on a daily basis. Please do not feel that you have to stay in the situation because you are afraid to step out on your own especially if you have children.

I know a close friend who will not leave because she is afraid. She has 2 little girls and she is pregnant with a third. She feels that her situation will get better, but every time she speaks up or fights back her spouse takes it out on her. She believes that he will change and its not as bad as it seems. She calls me crying saying that she can’t take it anymore. I have offered her help, offered my space, provided a number of hot lines and shelter information for battered women, even though she has the information she has not followed through. I am not one to interfere with any one’s marriage or relationship, but when you are being physically, mentally and emotionally abused, as her friend all I can do is provide support, a listening ear and call the authorities.

Ladies please tell someone and get help today. The best way to fight Domestic Violence is to speak out about it. Have the courage no matter how hard it is to confide in someone you trust – your best friend, sister, mother, daughter, neighbor, family and anyone who will listen and provide you help and support.  Friends and family if you know someone who is going through this right now please listen and provide help if you can.

For each person who “likes” the Click To Empower! Facebook page, The Allstate Foundation will donate $1 to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (up to $20,000). Click here to go to the Facebook page.

The Allstate Foundation will donate another $1 if you take the pledge to Tell a Gal Pal about domestic violence. As part of the pledge, your photo will be added to the “Faces of Support” gallery to show survivors that they aren’t facing domestic violence alone.
 
For more information and to find out how to help, visit www.ClickToEmpower.org.

 “I wrote this blog post while participating in The Allstate Foundation’s Tell a Gal Pal blogging program with TwitterMoms, making me eligible to get an interview with Cheryl Burke. For more information on how you can participate, click here.”

**Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Glow Serum Review **Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Glow Serum Review**

I was excited when I received the Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Glow Serum complimentary  from @influenster and @peterthomasrothofficial in exchange for my honest review.

This Water Drench Serum is amazing! I love it! The serum is blue and creamy and light. The application is non-greasy, easily absorbing and moisturizing. My skin was glowing and supple! 

I have been using this water drench serum for a little over a month and my skin feels so hydrated and refreshed every time I use it. 

Highly recommend as a product you need to add to your skin care regimen! Your skin will feel the difference!

Valentines Day Weekend - When hubby surprises you Valentines Day Weekend -  When hubby surprises you with a beautiful bouquet of roses! 😍

I remember when we were first dating my hubby brought  me 2 dozen red roses sitting in a frosted rose vase. I still have that vase! 

The roses were so beautiful!  He set the bar really high - roses just because!  He has been consistent even after 21 years of marriage! Thank you hubby! Love you!😍😘❤️

What is your “Morning Routine”? I write these What is your “Morning Routine”?

I write these things down as a reminder of the things I need to be doing every morning when I wake up. 

Most days I am successful and I check off every single one! Some days I don’t get it all done. 

The funny thing about being consistent is that it requires action. We can right lists all day and never follow a single thing on it. 

Consistency equals discipline!
