BOND GIRL RAQUEL

My Dad always saves articles or literature or books on topics he thinks are poignant  for me. This Sunday morning as I drink my coffee, I'm reading an article he saved for me on the corruption of the former Council members of the city of Bell. They are facing 10-12 years in prison. 

This was interesting, but what was even better was on the flip side of the L.A.Times article.....

"Arts thriving in a modest venue" is an article about a young man who saw a complete void of the arts in his community of Maywood, Cudahy, & Hunington Park. So what did he do? He opened an art space in his garage! I love this! 

Nobody really cares if some rich guy is building another sky scraper. I personally love an under dog story. I love it because it gives me hope. A young man of 25,

Mr. Contreras created an open mic night, art gallery, music & photography all available to his community. The well known poet & author Luis Rodriguez even took notice and read "Poems across the Pavement" at the garage space.

These people are inspiring and I admire them. It's also a bonus that they're Latino! I hope this story inspires others as it inspires me.

Once again there has been a school tragedy. Once again the news reporters are saying that parents and school officials saw no signs of instability. 

There are always signs, but you have to know what to recognize. 

In bail bonds these signs are very significant to a maintaining a good career.if there's one thing I can say it's that you should never ever doubt your gut instinct. It's never wrong. 

There are books on this topic that are very interesting.

It's heartbreaking to think of innocent children bring hurt. 

What do you think would help with children's safety ?

Always feel free to call me for referrals to counselor's, drug treatment programs, house arrest, anger management etc. If I don't have the answer, I can get the answer for you.

Women in business is one of my absolute favorite topics. As the years go by and my sponsorships grow, I get approached more. 

How people approach a business proposal can make or break the deal almost immediately. 

I'm thinking I should offer a free seminar for small business owners.  It would be my style to offer a seminar for women. 

There are women's organizations but I haven't found one I really feel comfortable with yet. 

Food for thought!!! What do you think?
