I think I speak for each and every person in this room.
We would like to give thanks to our mothers and fathers for all they have given us in life.
I especially want to thank my Mother and Father for teaching us to do what is right in life, to love each other as a family above all else.My parent’s especially have taught me not to let outside forces ever interfere with my family coming first.As we have fought many battle in our lives we have overcome and it was through the love and respect that our parents had for each other and taught us to have for each other,. Teaching us not only by their words, but their examples.I only hope I can be as good of an example to my kids as my parents have been to me.I also hope that I can always live up to the expectations of my parents, and to do what is right above all else, and put my family first.
We are all gathered here because of the love of our parents and their parents, and so forth.We share a common bond that is only known in families who love and respect each other above all else.
Many of us here have lost our spouses, parents, children, sisters, and brothers and would give anything in the world to have even one more moment with them to tell them how much we love them.I am one who is lucky enough to still have my parents here.I treasure every moment I can spend with them, Time is something you can never get back, so in our busy lives we need to take time everyday to tell the ones we love how much they mean to us and to give them, as they have given to us, the gift of our time, because at the end of the day all that matters is our family.Thank you all and above all I want to thank my Mother, I love her more than life itself, she has given unselfishly, she has put her family above all else and if ever there were an angel on earth it is my Mother.
All I can say is it was very interesting, and something I had never thought about until today.
“The Gaze” in art can be in reference to who is viewing the art. A male may see something different in an art piece, than a woman does, or even different than the artist had intended.
I guess the saying “Art is in the eye of the beholder” has some meaning to it. Maybe it is referering to “The Gaze”
You should read the article at wikipedia, it made me think.
Not only does this happen to females, but males can be abused by girls. Please talk to anyone that you feel might be in this sort of relationship, and let them know they are not alone and that you are there for them, there is help.
This hits a personal level with me in more ways than one. I feel SOOOOO strongly about what is said on these sites. We all have rights not to be abused, and if someone really loves you they will respect you.
Please go to http://loveisrespect.org/dating-bill-rights/digital-dating-bill-of-rights.html and sign the teen dating bill of rights. This is not only for teens, this happens to adults too. Be aware, watch for the signs and take action if you or someone you know and love is being abused, mentally, physically, or emotional. These people are bullies, they must be stopped. THANK YOU !!!!
I will be going to the Affiliate Summit, in Las Vegas in February. One reason I mention this, last July I went to the Affiliate Summit in Miami.
My Sister went with me, and when we got off the airplane and started to get a taxi, I heard the man behind me tell his cab driver he was going to the same hotel we were. I don’t usually do this but I guess I wasn’t being myself…(sometimes, I am over cautious), I asked the man if he wanted to share a cab. “My thinking was I need to save as much money as I can, since I am not working at a regular job at the moment.” We could split the cab fare.
This was one of the nicest men I had ever met. Turns out he was going to the Affiliate Summit, and was working with Match.com. He was so helpful. When we saw him at one of the social events, he introduced us to some of his clients. It was good to see a familar face at the event, being I am new at this business, and know no one.
All I can say is Match.com is lucky to have such a nice man representing them. Hope I get to see you in Las Vegas.
