Because each of us deals with so much stress on a personal level—especially in light of

Giving is Living presents a clear, practical guide to making generosity a part of our

everyday lives. It shows us how small efforts to reach out to help those in need can make

a real difference.

 

Authors Marnie and Tisha Howard explain that to function in a world of limited

resources and burgeoning demands, we need provide aid to each other. Giving is Living

explains that generosity does not have to be about giving money. It can start with a smile,

cost nothing, and it can do so much good.

 

The economic crunch is no match for this book—Giving is Living provides 101 easy

ways to improve our lives. It’s simple: by doing good for others, we can feel great and

begin to live our best lives.

“Women In Action” Series Celebrating Women’s History Month

For immediate release

February 19 2009; presented by Women Without Borders US. Los Angeles, Ca, February 19, 2009-This spring, Los Angeles acclaimed artist and illustrator Bobbi Miller-Moro will be presenting “Women In Action” series in her  Unity In Art Collection 2009.

Celebrating Women’s History Month, March 2009, and International Women’s Day March 8, 2009; this captivating series includes photographs of women from around the world.

The purpose of this calendar is to bring to light the beauty of all women, from many countries. Much attention is brought to the suffering, or distress of women in war-torn parts of the world and in refugee camps. Although it is important, what is true is that these women are ‘women first’ before a refugee, before a victim of war.

They hold themselves with beauty and light in the midst of circumstances many do not even understand. In the midst of these photographs are exquisite women that are not distressed, but protesting, using their voice in action, or just being. These women are at the forefront, the front lines of bringing peace and human rights for all people, especially women, or they are just living in their natural state.

Quotes from powerful women; such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Ann Frank, Maya Angelou, Mother Teresa and more, grace the colorful pages of each month of real textured cloth, vibrant mosaics, tile, reeds, and rich fabrics from all corners of the planet. Images of these women keep reminding us of how important women are to all of us.

About Unity In Art

Unity In Art is the latest collection from Bobbi Miller-Moro bringing together the images and expression of being united by love, beauty, light or creating. Her belief is all people can benefit from art, and explore beautiful images together as one with the ultimate message of peace.

Facebook censors Cuban activist Luis Moro from speaking for The Travel Ban by deleting his account.

As I post this, I was also sent a warning letter that I will be next.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Press Release– Feb 10, 2009 – We believe that filmmaker-activist Luis Moro, administrator for ‘End the US Trade Embargo on Cuba’ group was censored by Facebook for giving information out, or supplying information in detail about how people can help to pass the bill to allow travel between the United States and Cuba by deleting his account without warning.

Los Angeles, Feb 10 / Moro Films LLC has released a statement to the press about what Luis Moro believes is a direct infringement in his right to free speech and censorship by Facebook. Luis Moro was networking and socializing on Facebook, abiding by all of their Terms and Conditions. On Feb 09, 2009 at 9:30 pm Luis Moro was on Facebook speaking about the Travel bill, when his account was abruptly deleted with no notice or warning. He was one of the administrators of ‘End the US Trade Embargo on Cuba’ group on Facebook with over 2,800 members.

 

Luis and his wife, Bobbi Miller-Moro immediately wrote to Facebook at info@Facebook.com and requested an explanation and to return Luis’ page immediately. Not only was he using Facebook to network, but to socialize with hundreds of his friends. He had more than 700 ‘friends’ and growing, from fans of his films, and his ex-Rutgers footballer friends and childhood friends. If he ever met his quota in adding friends in a day, Facebook would send a warning to stop, and he would. Other than that, there was no illegal activity or scandalous behavior that would warrant such actions from Facebook.

 

Cuban born Luis Moro made a film in Cuba and since then has been a visible outspoken voice against the Embargo on Cuba and has provided detailed information and request a call to action from pro-‘free Cuba’ supporters in his sitehttp://www.EverythingCuba.com. Moro is accustomed to this controversy being that his stand against the embargo has been a heated topic for many pro-embargo hardliners.

 

Facebook has deleted many accounts with no explanation as to why. They monitor how many friends you have and whether they are ‘real’ or not. They left an anti-Islam site up after hundreds of thousands of protests from Facebook users. Afro Cuban Luis Moro never once said a hateful remark, but only promotes peace.

“There is no freedom of speech on the Internet so long as the platforms for speech are provided by private companies dancing to the demands of the largest market.” –Jason Lee Miller WebProNews
