DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AS A WHOLE

Today, I checked my email and to my surprise, I had an email from Laura Martin , who happens to live in Spain. One thing that I love about my blog is that I am able to reach and communicate with people all over the world. It truly is a blessing to me. I truly did not realize the impact that this blog would have on so many people including myself when I first started it. I am really humbled.  Laura Martin wrote a song called " Quierete  (Latin)" which in English means " Love Yourself ". Although the song is in Spanish, Laura has provided subtitles in English. I would encourage you to listen and share the video. It is a beautiful song.  Click below to listen.  Feel free to visit  Laura's website Laura Martin Music    or her blog Laura Martin Music Blog   to learn more about her. As always, thanks for reading! Much love and God Bless, Nicole Lofton If you would like to contact me, please email me at nicole@gardenofpurp...

My Baby Shot Me Down Hello All! This time I am here to write to you about a film that I recently just learned about entitled My Baby Shot Me Down  When the My Baby Shot Me Down  twitter account followed me, I instantly wanted to know more about the film. It appears that the film is not out yet, but  it will be out soon. The film is by Daniella Daemy and is being made in the UK. Of course being the advocate that I am, I just had to share it with you all. I just love sharing anything that has to do with raising awareness of domestic violence. In fact, I get excited because this is a cause that is dear to not only my hear, but I know that is dears to yours as well. Although I do not know much about the film, I do know that it is about five women that seek revenge and kidnap men who I believe have committed domestic violence. Feel free to check out the IMDB page that has been created for the film here  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5126930/ Feel free to follow...

Nya Marquez Hello, everyone! Today, I am happy to write to you about this amazing song and video that was made by 13 year old Nya Marquez . I absolutely love music and I love when it brings awareness to an important cause especially domestic violence. While on Twitter  about two months ago, I happened to come across the twitter page of Nya Marquez , in which I saw her promoting her song that she made to bring hope and healing to those affected by domestic violence. I have to say that I was and I still am very touched by Nya's song " No, No More ". I think that  it is such a beautiful song and Nya is a beautiful person inside and out. To be 13 years old spreading such an inspiring and important message is very beautiful. I hope that you are as touched and inspired, by the song and the video as I am. Please share and reach out to Nya on twitter  @nyaband and show your support for what she is doing to raise awareness for domestic violence.  Below, is the w...
