Go Team Moya!
Several years ago I was asked to take pictures of a precious family for Odessa Regional Hospital. All I knew going in to the photo shoot was that I was going to have to try my best to capture the personalities of three year old triplets. I was preparing myself to meet three little miracles that according to the doctors would quite possibly not survive pregnancy much less birth. However, these three not only survived but faced all challenges during their stay in the NICU after being born several months premature as well as further challenges during their first year out of the hospital thanks to their strong, faithful parents who believed whole heartedly in providing a healthy home for them during pregnancy and beyond! These little miracles bounced, laughed, played, fought and ran from one end of the yard we were shooting in to the other during the two hour photo shoot. I have to say, I was not as prepared as I should have been but I was forever touched by meeting the Moya family that day! Each year the family participates in the March of Dimes Walk in Odessa, Texas. Last year they were 6th in the state. You have the opportunity to help their team this year. If you choose to purchase your book through my blog, simply click the ADD TO CART button above and proceed through the check out process. you will be prompted to add a gift message. Simply say donate to Team Moya and I will donate $1.00 to their team. All orders must be in by April 1, 2010. Thanks!

Shocking Discovery
I recently learned that there are two children in our community that are expecting children of their own. One girl is only 9 years old and the other child is only 10. This discovery only makes me more aware that the younger the girls are these days, the more possible it is that they are making other inappropriate decisions as far as drinking alcohol while engageing in sexual behaviors.
It is up to us as a nation under GOD to encourage children of all ages to not only abstain from sexual behaviors but to educate them on the dangers of drinking during pregnancy. Please pray for all the children of the world!
My book is now available online for purchase. http://tatepublishing.com/bookstore/book.php?w=978-1-61566-812-0
If you are interested in booking a speaking engagement to create awareness in the junior high and high school level please contact me. Thank you!

FAS needs a tune up!
I just finished watching many wonderful videos on You Tube about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. What amazed me the most is that many of the videos have been around for quite a few years. There are very few updated videos. I experienced the same thing in regards to finding an up to date book on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome when I began my intense investigation once my adopted daughter, Ashley, was diagnosed. My question is, if FAS has been around for so long, why are so many people still uneducated and simply unaware of the risks involved with drinking alcohol even moderately during pregnancy? Help generate a "tune up" in the awareness of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome by purchasing my book Forfeiting All Sanity A Mother's Story of Raising a Child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Our story involves heartache mixed with humor as I give intimate details on what life is like for us and what life will be like for Ashley in the future.
