Mother’s Day is always

an event for the mother’s in our lives from the breakfast in bed to the one of kind handmade gifts that we cherish for years. One important lesson that as a grown daughter now that I would like to pass on to all the younger generations is that of time spent with your mother. This is the most important gift that you can give your mother. She will cherish the time way more than any gift you can give her. Don’t you remember those times spent with your own mother? I know that I do. Now that we are grown and some of us have moved away or don’t live as close those times spent is something that is cherished and also what keeps us going and motivates us to be great mothers. Do you remember the last gift you gave your mother? I know I don’t but I do remember the last time we had coffee and donuts together. I also remember her big hug she gave me and her smile as drove up to her driveway. These are the memories that I know she and I will remember and hold close to our hearts.

A mother is the one you have relied on for so

many years. She is the one who has listened to you cry over the first boy, the one who showed you how to put on your makeup, helped you pick out your first bra. She has molded you into the person you have become. This is why mothers are so important. I am not saying a father is not equally important as they are as well. But for this month I wanted to talk about how important our relationship is with our mothers and as a daughter. When was the last time you just called your mom and told her how much you appreciate her and everything she has done for you? When was the last time you just stopped by her house and sat and talked? Is your life really that busy that you can’t take the time to give a moment to the one that raised you? These little moments are important. Not the job, not the money they are not going to matter in the end. The time is what is going to matter. Use it wisely. Pick up that phone and call your mother and tell her I LOVE YOU!

Daughters



POSITIVE

THINKING

Have you ever wondered why some people are just so happy and others seem to be down all the time? Do you think it is genetics? What about being predisposed to being a negative person? Can you really change into being a positive person? The answer is YES you can.

Research has shown that a person’s outlook is largely connected to the way they feel about themselves. Some people have a “victim” mentality while others have a survivor mentality. The survivor mentality of course is the one with the more positive outlook. But the question would be how to change your outlook from the “victim” to the SURVIVOR? This is no easy task.

Have you been a victim? Over 69% of women have been a victim of something rather it is harassment, sexual and or verbal abuse and or other crimes. This is a hard statistic to look at but it is about getting over that diversity. This all has to do with how you hold onto your past. Are you that type of person that let’s go easy? Do you go with the flow? Or are you one who holds on to a grudge? If you are the latter than you are more likely in the “victim” category. For those who don’t let go and move on and dwell on those things that they cannot change tend to stay in the same negative space. Why is it though that one would choose to stay in such a harmful place? It’s their comfort zone, it’s a place that they know best. People stay in the place they know. People are uncomfortable with change. But to change is to grow and one must grow to be human. This is our journey.



To think positively seems easy enough but for most of us our minds are cluttered and this is where the negative energy comes in. How can we make room for positive thoughts if our minds are already full. “What’s for dinner?” Or “Have I paid the electric bill?” These are all thoughts that clutter the mind on a minute by minute basis throughout our day and we live such fast paced lives it is hard to slow the thought process down. This is where taking the time to consciously override your system and slow the mind at least for ten minutes a day. On average countries that take a longer lunch during the work day have a higher productivity? Do you know why this is? They have regrouped. They have slowed down and de-cluttered their mind. I realize that this might be difficult to do in the current workforce where you are but you can still take ten minutes out of your day and breathe and change your thoughts. When we change our patterns and the way we think it brings us a sense of wonder, a new take on life which affects all aspects of our surroundings and you have a choice you can either affect it positively or negatively. Which do you choose?

We all go through moments in our lives where we find it difficult to get through the day, trust me I know. Those days seem to be longer and harder but if you count up the days that you have had where you were happy and all was well I am sure you will find that there were many more. This is the time that you should “count your blessings”. Life is hard and it is beautiful all at the same time. It cannot be easy all the time or we wouldn’t be so grateful. We have to go through some junk to get to the really good stuff right? If you find a way to change your outlook and let go and be a survivor you will be amazed at how your life and your effect that you will have on others. Look in the mirror today and tell yourself “you are a survivor, you will make mistakes but today you will choose to grow.”



Take 10 minutes a day and think of the positive things and moments in your life.

Take a walk. Nature is your best de-stresser.

Remember you are a survivor not a victim.

De-clutter your mind.

Meditate!

Change is GOOD!

With the average temperature of around 86˚ Cozumel, Mexico is the perfect getaway. The flight time to Cozumel from the Portland area is approximately 6.5 hours but a world away from the spring showers. You are automatically transported to tropical paradise as soon as you land. Lush vegetation and the warmth of the sun greets you, Cozumel is set in the Caribbean and part of the Quintana Roo state of the Yucatan peninsula. The warm waters of the Caribbean will make you feel giddy and the people are so amazingly friendly it will make you forget about the rat race you just came from.



Cozumel has a yearly population of less than 100, 000 people in an approximate area of less than 300 square miles.

This beautiful Caribbean island is famous for its reef dives and crystal azure waters. A water taxi and or ferry can bring you over to Playa del Carmen in less than a half an hour which then you can travel to the Tulum ruins.

The especiale of Quintana Roo is the blanco cheeses. These cheeses are mild in flavor and most areas away from the “tourist traps” are farm lands. Cozumel has a rich culture of cowboys. The local people are from all areas of the Caribbean which brings flavors unknown to traditional Mexican fare. Rich in spices you will find fire roasted chickens and fruits covered with lime and salt.

There are a multitude of choices for lodging in Cozumel. All-inclusive resorts seem to be the norm and definitely worth the extra price as most resorts have great local foods.



San Miguel is the downtown area of Cozumel which there you will find shops with antiques from all over this Mayan influenced city. You will have your pick of Tacqueria’s and bars that will serve some of the best ceviche and margaritas you will ever have. Wander through to the Plaza del Sol and discover the history and heritage of this beautiful city. Through San Miguel travel down Avenue Rafael Malgar and you will find one of the most unique shops that is filled with artistry from all over the Yucatan. Los Cincos Soles is in a large warehouse space and features arts from all over Mexico this is not to be missed.

Some of the activities available to travelers is a s diverse as the area. Take a cooking class, swim with a dolphin, dive and discover the beautiful reefs. These are just a few of course you can just lay on the beach and listen to waves hit the shore.

Viva la Mexico!

Mexico requires a passport.

You can drink the water. Most resorts filter their tap water.

When getting off the plane ignore the salespeople. It’s a scam.

Travel to Playa del Carmen at least once while at Cozumel.

According to the Center for Disease Control chew two tablets of Pepto-Bismol a day to guard off Montezuma’s revenge.

You can book your trip online but you will find out more about Cozumel through a travel agent.



AHHH…..DAHLIAS

Dahlias- A flower pure and beautiful. What is a dahlia? A dahlia belongs

to the same family as that of the sunflower. Dahlias are fairly easy to

grow and have a long history.

Dahlias are a tuberous flowering plant that grows in all regions of the

United States. It has many different species and sub-categories that this

flower falls under. Originating from Mexico and traveling to the United

States this humble flower has a past. Healing powers were found in the

flower from the Toltecs and Aztecs. Many botanists from around the

world including Spain, Germany and France sought after the seeds of this

amazingly vibrant flower.

In Portland you will find along any neighborhood many dahlia gardens

growing from over the fence to a small plot of land next to the

sidewalk. Dahlias bring a sense of wonderment and beauty to any area

that you plant them in as they grow very tall and their blooms are as

diverse as the species itself.



Plant tubers during the spring. Be aware that you need to plant the tubers

into the ground after no chance of frost.

You can start the tubers indoors like you would tomatoes if you are looking

for blooms early.

Plant in full or partial sun in soil that has good drainage.

Planting the tubers together should be approximately 2 feet apart to give

the plant room to grow.

Stake your blooms early as they grow very tall. Plant a stake prior to the

plant reaching above ground. Beware that you do not damage the tuber.

The young dahlia tubers do not need a lot of water. In fact if you

excessively water you will rot the tuber and you will not have your beautiful

blooms.

Beware of pests, slugs and Japanese beetles love the leaves. Try the

traditional soap and water technique and spray vigorously over the stems and

blooms.

’

My journey into motherhood began in 1994 when my daughter was born. With her birth my life changed forever but not in the normal and or traditional way, not just the late night feedings or the crying and constant diaper changes; she was more to me than I would have ever envisioned.

My mother and I had a rough journey through my teen years I will admit I was definitely not the angel or the straight A student that most mother’s would dream about. I skipped school, I had some real loser boyfriends and made some really poor choices. At this point in my life I wasn’t sure which way was up and which way was down. I moved back and forth from my mother’s house to my father’s and step mother’s house. I hated rules and at my mom’s there was a whole lot of rules, but at dad’s there was nothing, but that came at a price. The dinner table was set nightly at my father’s without a plate for me nor did I really receive the emotional closeness that I had at my mom’s but after all what teenager would want rules right?

Something changed in me at the age of seventeen, as most of my things were dumped off at my mother’s house because my step-mother couldn’t handle me anymore, there she was crying with open arms. My mother, although we had our ins and outs at this point all was forgiven. I realized at this very moment that this is what being a

My mother and I on graduation night 1990.



mother looks like. She stood there at the door as I came back home in tears and ready to change.

Throughout the last two years of high school she pushed me to succeed, to be the very best version of myself. When I felt like I couldn’t she would tell me I could. When I felt low she would bring me back up. Her smile and gentle hugs kept the demons away.

Successfully graduating from high school that moment I saw my mother feel proud and I felt like I could conquer the world.

One year almost to the day of graduating I packed up my car, married and headed to California to start a new chapter in my life. My mother stood there at Shari’s for a long while as I drove off and I could see in the rear view mirror her wiping away her tears as she became smaller in smaller in my vision.

Four years later we moved back home with our new bundle of joy but of course she wouldn’t have missed this momentous occasion. She was sitting there right by my side as I screamed in agony and joy as I brought my daughter, her granddaughter into the world.

Starting a new life in California.



We arrived home with our baby and different, more grown up versions of ourselves. There she was accepting us back home “till we got on our feet”. Through many days of pain a disease changed everything.

Fast forward to six years later and a week after the new year in 2000. My mom held me tight as I cried so hard that every part of me ached with heartbreak. She rocked me to sleep that first night. I didn’t know I could feel so much pain, but she held me, she loved me when the love of my life was gone, he passed and I was left to be a single mother, a widow at the age of 26.

My mother has been by my side through everything. She has taught me to be the mother that I am today. I forgive and with open arms. I love unconditionally and remember all those times that my mother held me as my daughter goes through her ups and downs in her life. She has taught me to be a wonderful, thoughtful, caring, and the best mother I could be. Yes I know I am not perfect, nor was my mother but this is the journey. This journey is worth every tear, every pain in your heart because one day very soon your daughters will remember what you sacrificed to be the best mother. Enjoy the journey and reach out to your mother and tell her thank you today.

My daughter and I on graduation night 2012

tears.

Tip #7- Are your handlebars wobbly? Make sure your handlebars are in proper

order, if not take it to the local bike shop for proper alignment.



MAY DAY

PHOT O COURTESY OF LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

May Day has its early beginnings in Europe as a Pagan ritual that

celebrated the beginning of summer. There are many rituals associated

with May Day or May 1st. The most notable tradition is the maypole; most

believe that the maypole represents the trees and the blossoming of trees

during this fertile month. In the United States, although not as popular

across Europe, May Day is celebrated with a maypole and the traditional

ribbon dance. Also a nice note for Americans is that neighbors make nice

by hanging beautiful flowers among their neighbors door knobs.

Celebrate May Day by showing your neighbor and friends you value

them by hanging some beautiful and fragrant flowers upon their door

knob.

You always have a chance to make things right!- La belle vie



HOPE- What is

hope? What does it

mean to have hope?

Hope is a very vague

feeling or thought. Do

you have hope? What

does it look like to

you? Discover how

hope can change your

world, your thoughts

and why it truly matters

in your everyday life.

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary HOPE is

defined as: to desire with expectation of obtainment and

or: To cherish a desire with anticipation.

So what does it mean to desire an expectation? Let’s

break it down. A desire is something that you want and

or cannot live without. What does it mean to cherish

something? The word cherish brings us memories of

love, a love that you hold closely to your heart. So is

hope related to love? Do you have to love to have hope

in something or someone?

I believe HOPE has everything to do with love. Without

love why else would you have hope? If you love

something or someone you definitely have hope in your

heart for that goal, object, and or person, right?



So why have

hope? According

to hope

researcher

psychologist Dr.

Barbara

Fredrickson,”

hope literally

opens us up and

removes the

blinders of fear

and despair and

allows us to see

the big picture.”

Without hope we

all would be

stuck in our

heads, in

insurmountable

fear. Hope brings

us closer to our

goals, our

dreams.

Hope brings us closer to our goals, our DREAMS.



Although hope is different from positive thinking, hope will

bring you closer to a space where positive thoughts are

possible. Have you ever been in a space where you feel it

just isn’t possible to move on or get out of and then you

change your thought pattern and suddenly it doesn’t seem

so big? This is all part of the “hope” process. Hope is a

close relative to faith. When you have hope, this is believing

in something rather it is seen or unable to be seen.



Is it possible to have

hope in every situation?

The simple answer is

YES! I know that might

seem difficult to believe

but it also has to do with

your own power, your own

thought process. We all

go through adversities in

life but it’s how we handle

these adversities that

changes the outcome of

our lives.

Did you know that hopeful

people are happier, more

productive people? If you

want more happiness in

your life bring hope into

it. Do you need more

productivity at the office

or at home? Try having

hope.

If you want more happiness bring hope into your life.



So does love really have anything to do with hope? Yes,

love truly does. In order for our hearts to fully fall in love

we have to have hope. Our hearts and or our brains

operate from a safe place and we tend to want to

protect ourselves from pain. If we have been hurt in the

past we tend to stay away from that source. But when it

comes to affairs of the heart we continue to delve into it.

This all has to do with the idea of hope, the hope that

the person will not cause us pain again, or that they will

be the one, the hope that they will love us

unconditionally. These are hopes that we count on when

we fall in love.



So where do you find hope? Seriously! Yes seriously. I know

it might seem so easy to find hope, but trust me I have

heard a lot of excuses of why people have lost hope. So

let’s discuss on how you can find hope. When was the last

time you walked outside and really listened to the birds?

Did you check out the flowers in your neighbor’s yard? Bend

over and smell those roses. How about the musician

performing on the corner? These are all reasons to hope for

your future, for your life. Why not have hope. Flowers

continue to bloom, birds will continue to sing and songs will

continue to be written. Have hope and move forward with

your life. Love your life and love yourself enough to have

hope.

Love yourself enough to have hope

Po’Shines sitting on the corner in North Portland looks just

like any other restaurant but looks can be deceiving. A

starting point for many careers Po’Shines is a charity

based kitchen that serves up a delicious dish with a side

order of love for those in need. Based on empowering

youth through their love of food Po’Shines explains how

soul food changes lives.

What does it mean to empower

others?

To us, empowering others is

helping them realize and use the

giftings and talents that are

already inside of them. The

people we work with and the

people we serve in the

community are all amazing

individuals – it's just that

sometimes that need help and

support to understand who they

are and what they are capable

of.




Po’shines-how did you come up with the name and what does it

mean to the organization?

Po'Shines is the nickname of Cecil Wooden, who was a deacon

at our church that donated funds to help make Po'Shines

become possible. In his younger years he was a shoe-shiner

outside the capitol building in Sacramento. The local politicians

in the area gave him the nickname.

To us Po'Shines reminds us not only of the family roots and support

we have, but it also serves a term for “amazing service and

care.” We want everyone to be “Po'Shined” when they visit us.

“Teach me to fish” how did this program get started and what is it

about?

Teach Me to Fish is a job and life skills program established by

Celebration Tabernacle. It comes from the proverb that if you

give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day – but if you teach a man to

fish, he will eat for a lifetime. The organization started to shift the

tradition church “handout” practices to a more active and

empowering action. “Teach Me to Fish” pairs with various

businesses to teach participants job skills as well as life skills.




’

Why the focus on food?

Food brings people together – and a good meal can change

a person's day. Chef Bradley often reminds us that everyone's

gotta eat – and it's because of this that we can bring people

together and really create a sense of community. Being able

to prepare food is obviously a necessary life skill, but it also

allows for discipline and creativity.

Empowering the youth through work is a challenge I am sure.

Do you feel that kids today are any different than from

generations back and how has that affected training?

Our work with the youth is extremely rewarding – and yes, quite

challenging. Kids are a lot less disciplined and a lot less

supported today. Also, there are a lot more distractions – and

“short-cuts.” Getting kids to appreciate and understand the

importance of having a work ethic seems to be the hardest

part.




Where do you see the organization heading down the road?

We would like to franchise Po'Shines and spread the program as

far as we can. We have already looked at several locations in

the area, as well as a possible location in South St. Louis.

Are you looking for donations/volunteers?

We are happy to accept both donations and volunteers.

Financial donations and/or equipment donations would be

amazing. Volunteers in the areas of food service training (chefs,

servers, bakers, etc.) would be very helpful.

What help does Po’Shines need at this time?

Prayers are always welcomed! We are looking to update our

kitchen and our storefront. It's been by the grace of God that

our equipment has taken us this far.

Any events and or fundraisers coming up that we can help

promote?

Sunday, May 19th we will be open for the Kenton Street Fair from

10-6.

Our annual Crawfish Feed will be taking place August 17th.

There are over 20, 000 homeless youth in the state of

Oregon. Poverty is a contributing factor to

homelessness overall, but with children who are

homeless abuse and mental illnesses are

contributing factors. New Avenues for Youth based

in Portland, Oregon discusses with La belle vie the

issue that faces our youth and how we as a

community can help this growing problem.

EMPOWERING

OUR YOUTH



How did New Avenues

get their start?

In 1997 New Avenues

was created by local

business leaders and

youth advocates who

wanted an effective,

outcome based

homeless youth

agency with

measurable goals and

outcomes. Opening

initially with one case

manager and a drop-

in center for basic

needs, programs have

grown to serve the

needs of nearly 1,000

homeless and at-risk

youth per year.

Your current goals are

to empower youth and

to have youth exit the

streets. What programs

accomplish these

goals?

Our programs work

together on a

continuum to

empower youth to

gain crucial skills, find a

stable living

environment and

eventually become a

self-sufficient adult.



We first reach out and engage

with youth who are living on

the streets through our drop-in

center, where youth can get

basic needs met with meals,

clothing, laundry, and showers

while interacting with

supportive staff. Once youth

are engaged in the

organization, we pair them

with a dedicated case

manager who helps youth

develop a plan to exit street

life and connects them with

additional resources and our

more advanced programs,

which include our accredited

Alternative High School that

helps youth pursue their GED

and post-secondary

education, our PAVE job

training program that prepares

youth for career-track

employment and connects

them with jobs and internships

(at numerous local businesses

in addition to our own youth-

operated Ben & Jerry’s

PartnerShops), and our Artist

Mentorship Program that

facilitates learning and healing

through youth’s creative

channels.



Lastly, we operate

numerous housing

programs that provide

youth with the stability

necessary to make a

permanent transition

into independent living,

including a 26-bed

dorm-style transitional

housing facility and rent

subsidies that we

provide to youth who

are building their

savings while

transitioning into

independence. This

continuum of services

has proven to be very

effective, with 92% of

the youth exiting our

transitional housing into

their own stable housing

during the last fiscal

year.



What do you feel is the

most contributing factor

to youth homelessness

and how can a

community rally around

to help with this issue?

The youth we serve

experience different

dimensions of

homelessness so their

respective causes are

not necessarily

homogenous, though

we have identified some

themes over time. If one

thing is certain, it’s that

the youth we serve

didn’t choose to be

homeless. Youth who

come from families

struggling with

intergenerational

poverty often end up in

precarious housing

situations that lead to

them landing on and off

the streets.



Many youth

emerge from

systems of care,

including foster

care, without the

proper supports to

pursue healthy,

independent lives,

which often leads

to them landing on

the street as well.

As for some of the

more street-

entrenched youth

we serve—youth

who have been

homeless for

years—they have

often suffered from

much higher levels

of abuse and

neglect. There is

also a disturbing

trend of youth

ending up on the

streets because

their families have

rejected their

gender or sexual

identity.



Our community can help with these issues by becoming more

educated on the true roots of these youth’s situations and

empathizing with their struggles, rather than blaming or

demonizing them. Our continuum of outcome-based services

wouldn’t be what they are without the support of our

community, so the best thing that our community members can

do if they want to help is to directly support the programs that

help these youth get off the streets.

What inspires New Avenues for Youth to continue their work?

Seeing the resilience and potential of the youth we serve is what

keeps us going. They’ve been dealt every bad card in the deck

and yet they haven’t given up—they’re coming to New

Avenues for support in turning their lives around, and we want to

provide that support.



EMPOWER

Engage, Educate and Empower these are the three programs

that New Avenues for Youth focuses on can you give a brief

description on each?

Engage, Educate, and Empower are more like categories of

support we offer, rather than specific programs. We engage

with youth by providing basic services (meals, showers, etc.) in

our drop-in center, providing case management, housing youth

in our transitional housing program, and offering arts mentorship.

We educate youth through our fully accredited alternative high

school, where our educators prepare students for their GED and

provide tutoring, computer training, college preparation, and

financial aid assistance. We empower youth to become self-

sufficient through our career-focused job training program and

through employment in our social purpose enterprises, including

two Ben & Jerry’s PartnerShops that we own and operate in

downtown Portland.



How can others become

involved with New

Avenues for Youth?

Volunteers make our work

possible! We are always

looking for new volunteers,

both individuals and

groups, to help cook and

serve meals for the youth,

provide tutoring in our

education program, offer

professional mentorship in

our job training program,

and so much more. There

are endless opportunities

to help support our

mission, so in addition to

volunteering, we also seek

community business

partners who are

interested in providing

internships, guided tours,

sponsorships, or whatever

else they can bring to the

table.

Are you currently looking

for other avenues for

businesses as far as

employment

opportunities for the

youth?

Always! While we’ve had

great success in providing

employment

opportunities to youth

through the social

purpose enterprises we

run and the local

businesses who partner

with us, the greatest need

that the youth

communicate to us is

employment. So if there

are businesses in the

community who are

interested in helping to

foster a new generation

of employees who want

to become contributing

members of society, we

would love to hear from

them.



The Music and arts

program I would imagine

is a very integral part of

your curriculum. Is there

community involvement in

this program as well?

Absolutely. A number of

local artists and musicians

provide mentorship to

youth through the

program, and we’ve also

had great support from

local businesses who

provide us with materials,

such as guitar strings or

paint supplies.

What is in the future for New Avenues for Youth?

While maintaining our effective continuum of services that

help youth exit street life, New Avenues is now also preparing

to expand our work when it comes to preventing youth

homelessness in the first place. We’re partnering with

incredible community partners, like Portland State University,

to bolster advocacy for foster care reform and start providing

resources for youth before they land on the streets.



Do you have any events coming up?

Our next big event is Avenues of Art, an exciting art show

benefiting our Artist Mentorship Program, in which we auction

custom pieces by 100 local artists, as well as youth who have

produced collaborative artwork with some of those artists.

This year, Avenues of Art will be taking place on June 8 at

Union/Pine. It’s going to be an incredible sight to see!
