Join the Turning the Hearts Center this Saturday.  The Chula Vista Community Collaborative is proud to bring you the 9th annual Day of the Child event. This event is designed to introduce kids and families to healthy and interactive activities and provide an outreach venue for community-based organizations and agencies to promote their free or low-cost services to children and families. The Day of the Child will be celebrated on Saturday, April 25th from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Memorial Park at the corner of Third Ave. and Park Way downtown Chula Vista. (MAP)
Please plan on attending the event this year, we have 100 exhibitors, food, two stages of entertainment, face painting, puppet shows and more!

The economy is a mess but within every mess there is a miracle waiting to happen.  Be wise and observant to the things around you because they could secure your financial future.  Do you know that everything you need to succeed is within you.  You just need to look at what you already have inside you.
 
In order to go the places that you know you have been destined to go you have to be willing to do things that other people just won't do and do it over, and over, and over again until what you do because who you are and who you are becomes what you do!
 
The economy should not dictate your financial future if you take action now!

I spent the day at Lincoln High School with Counselors and students mourning the passing of Monique Ashley Palmer and Michael Taylor, Jr.
 
Both were in high school and getting ready for a promising future but tragically were gunned down over the weekend.  What do you say to teens when their peers pass away?  How do you support the family?  What words can express the loss of a parent?
 
Seeing youth pass before their time leaves an empty void for so many involved in their life.  During times like this adults need to listen and talk less.  Many times adults want to jump in and just say that "things are going to be okay" but sometimes silence leads to breakthrough.

My thoughts go out to the friends and family members  of Monique Palmer and Michael Taylor and Turning the Hearts Center is a resource to the community to bring a "turned heart" perspective to a sober situation!  May God's perfect peace be upon this situation.
