Since March of 2013, Sharon Therrian, the Founder of “Tote Bags of Love” has championed the making of 900 plus Weather-Proof Tote Bags for Homeless Individuals, 3 – 5 year-olds in the Head-start program, and Foster Care Children.  These bags are made with love and filled with essentials that people need.

Sharon contacted Purina and requested them to donate plastic weave feed and grain bags, she also contacted the Washington Feed & Grain Elevator for Twine, and posted flyers throughout the Romeo Area community requesting individuals to donate plastic weave feed and grain bags, and also asked for help in the cutting and the sewing of the plastic weave bags to create weather proof Tote Bags. Listen to her story to hear why she is a WCSX “Woman Who Rocks”.

Tote Bags of Love is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Charitable Organization whose goal is to Reach Out to those in Need.

Their motto is:  Made with Love, Filled with Love, Given with Love.  The Tote Bags of Love are Made with Love because they are created by volunteers who care about others.  The Tote Bags of Love are Filled with Love because everything that goes inside of them has been donated either by individuals or companies.  The Tote Bags of Love are than Given with Love to individuals who have a need for them or they are provided to organizations like Mcrest, Head Start of Oakland county, Charitable Foundation of Macomb, etc.

Let’s face it: We kind of have a problem.

We live in a technology-dominated world, where computers, tablets and smartphones capture our attention on a daily basis. We are, in short, technology zombies. Instead of brains, however, we have an insatiable appetite for glowing screens that keep us entertained, attached to work and able to share our every thought and action with all of our friends and acquaintances. In the second half of the podcast, I am always joined by Cyndy Schalter from Turning Point Macomb.

This week Cyndy and I discuss disconnecting from the Internet and reconnecting with the ones you love. Cyndy shares some some ideas for you and your family to enjoy a vacation with minimal technological interferences.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE…
