  • Joy to Detroit! Change Agents Bring Hope to Blight

    Don’t you love the way we learn about good news online? One story takes you to another great source and you just keep going deeper.

    First I read The Christian  Science Monitor’s Change Agent article:

    Detroit charity turns blight into gardens, parks, and homes

    Motor City Blight Busters is fighting to bring Detroit back one abandoned building and one vacant lot at a time. The nonprofit demolishes abandoned buildings that are beyond repair, renovates homes, and cleans up parks and illegal dump sites….

    This article  by By Nicole Wallace originally appeared in The Chronicle of Philanthropy.

    Motor City Blight Busters reminded me of people I call “Change Agents” in Detroit. I met  Myrtle and Wayne Curtis, founders of “Feedom Freedom” organization in Detroit, Michigan. I wondered how they were doing after all this time, so I looked them up on Facebook and found their organization thriving. I’m thrilled for them and for Detroit.

    Here is the video we filmed…

    Who do you think should be honored as a “Change Agent?”

     

  • Goodbye Mustang, Hello Valentine Cadillac

    One of the reasons I waited so long to purchase a new car is I loved my Mustang GT convertible. I really loved this car.
    Goodbye Mustang
    Imagine driving a car for over 110,000 miles with no breakdowns, no repairs, no hastles. Just plain FUN, dependability, and JOY.

    Hello Valentine Cadillac
    Hello Valentine Cadillac

    Paradise Cadillac was exceptional to work with. I had visited other dealers who were just as nice, but they offered me half price of what Paradise Cadillac & Chevrolet gave me for my awesome Mustang GT convertible. I drove a few easy to drive BMWs. But, my mother didn’t like the high SUVs and I needed All Wheel Drive for our muddy hilly roads. The Cadillac XRS’s hip-high seat height makes it the easiest car to get in and out. Plus, my payments for the XRS are half as much as the BMW because it cost less and the interest rate is lower. My WWII Navy Veteran dad would be happy I bought a car imported from Detroit.

    The main thing about my Valentine Cadillac is it’s not only safe for my grandkids, it’s super fun to drive. The Cadillac may not be quite as fun shifting into 5th gear at 80 like the racy Mustang, but it has all the new techie features: heated seats and steering wheel, back up camera, and seats that buzz your bottom if you get out of line!

    #TweetMeRight Charity Road Tip 2013, here we come… Where should we go? Do you have a favorite charity you think should be promoted?

  • Flying in Time

    Do you wake up too early when you know you have a morning flight?

    A week ago, I flew JetBlue to Portland. My flight was at 6 AM. I woke up at 1:00 AM. With three alarms to wake me, my internal clock wouldn’t let me sleep.

    This morning, I woke up at 3:00. You’e think this was an improvement, but my flight isn’t until 10:00.

    The irony? With hundreds of trips, I have not once missed a flight.

    What do you do when you’re to tired to write and can’t sleep?

    Meet me on Twitter….

  • Twitter and Thinking, Writing, Speaking

    I believe Twitter has changed the way I think, improved my writing skills, and influences my speech patterns. I find myself leaving out words in speaking and blog posts, writing incomplete sentences, misspelling, and assuming the reader knows what I’m talking about as if we were in a tweet conversation.

    I asked this question on Twitter:  Does Twitter make you think and speak in short, incomplete sentences?

    My responses were as different as my tweethearts. Oh yes. Twitter words invade my conversations and writings.

    This is what my followers had to say.

    Loly_ru Lola
    No, it makes me rethink what I want to write. If anything I am better at summarizing.

    utravelwithus Five Star Travel
    it does its horrible… when im on facebook i write something and its very short and i have to think and rewrite

    benjaminbach Benjamin Bach
    Cogent is good

    M_Gagnier Marissa Gagnier
    It actually makes my thoughts and convo more precise. I’ve learned to get to the point.

    darlatierney Darla Tierney
    No, but I find myself speaking with hashtags in emails! 😉

    pampositive Pamela Allen
    LOL! Yes ~RT @JeanetteJoy: Does Twitter make you think and speak in short, incomplete sentences.

    AutoRevo AutoRevo
    yes. yes. (ha ha, see what we did there?)

    KFPhotographs Knight Finley Photo
    I often say, “OMG, that was . . .” When I shockingly realize that I’ve just spoken in text speak, I forget what I was saying.

    StorageMart
    It makes us realize Prince was seeing the future when he gave his songs short-hand titles. #twitterspeak #textese

    ProsePowr ProsePower!
    Yes! & then when I have 2 write something the long way, be it FB or an email, I’m still abbrevating. Curse u Twitter!! lol

    PhoneBoy  no. I had problems speaking long before Twitter 🙂

  • Tweet Me Right Charity Road Trip

    It all started a long time ago in Twitterland with a tweet from Diane Tate about a virtual road trip party on Twitter.

    After Katrina, we tweeted about the volunteers feeding the hungry in New Orleans. While tweeting my heart out for four years, I’ve met so many amazing people and traveled around the world. It’s time to give back.

    Joy TV, a new website set up to showcase people making a difference to bring about peace through friendship and prosperity, is sponsoring the Tweet Me Right Charity Road Trip.
