Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. December 1st is designated as World AIDS Day. This virus continues to plague millions of people around the world and many organizations are contributing in unparalleled ways to bring those who have the disease, and their family members, the various help they need just to survive another day. Many advances have been made in research and development to fight this dreaded ailment, but neither a cure nor a vaccine have as yet been discovered. Although, the advances in the pharmaceutical arena are offering hope for longer lives through proper medication combinations, these drugs do not work for everyone and AIDS is still a life-threatening diagnoses and, many children are now orphans as a result of this devastating Worldwide pandemic.
As a gay woman, I have seen first-hand the ravaging affects AIDS has had on my friends and the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered) community as a whole. I have lost all my male friends from the 1980's era to the disease and I am very proactive in talking to the new friends I am making to ask them to please practice safe sex...all the time...every time! I will also tell you now that all people, gay or straight, should be doing the same...knowledge is power and I implore you to be informed and stay safe from all sexually transmitted diseases. You have the power to make a difference by being safe...ALWAYS!!!
Please take the time to learn more about how you might help local organizations provide the services that are so desperately needed by so many; medical services including pharmaceutical regimens, housing, food, companionship and caring - to name a very few. In these economically challenging times, the services these people depend upon are being compromised by budgets that are strained to their limits. A small donation, or even an hour of your time would mean so much to the people in need. I know that together we can make a difference...we're Super-Stars! Please forward this posting to all your friends in order to help get this very important message out. THANK YOU!!!
Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!
In love & light and, with much appreciation,
Glenna :-)
