I Can See Her Smiling….
She had a BIG life…my friend Rebecca. The world is a little less frenetic because she’s not here to stir the pot any more. She stirred it plenty when she was alive.
Inflammatory breast cancer took her life about 2 1/2 years ago but she battled it just like she faced everything…with gusto. Rebecca was a hard working journalist. She loved the foreign conflict stories and for many years, she was Leroy’s eyes on the ground from her position in London. Covering wars and conflict were a passion, and a challenge. And she was a planner, right down to the smallest detail. She had all the tools a great producer needs to make a mark and leave a mark.
When she died, many of us who loved her and wouldn’t let her passion die with her, contributed to a fund in her memory and today came the official word that Rebecca lives on. A Knight International Journalism Fellowship honoring her life and dedication to journalism has been formed. Rebecca’s footprints were left all over the world, in small war torn villages and in cities where standards in journalism struggled. She worked especially hard inspiring women to feel at home in a newsroom…that they too were worthy of following their dreams as reporters and producers. So this fellowship is being used in Bangladesh to help train women broadcast journalists and managers.
It couldn’t be a more perfect placement.
Rebecca…we salute you.

They shouldn’t sound when a pitneat rolls over and dislodges a sensor You can’t really ignore a dislodged sensor, because it makes you unable to monitor the pitneat. It make not be the same thing as an actual event, but the false alarm has to be treated with almost the same urgency as a real one if it makes you unable to monitor the pitneat, otherwise you aren’t just tuning out alarms, you are actually missing some of them.

I pray for you, Ava, and your full recovery. I keep you and your dear fimlay in my thoughts constantly. Watching your Mama singing to you touched my heart and brought me to tears- you were fully aware and responsive- I just feel in my heart that you will be OK- you just need a little more time to rest up and get well- time will heal you. Dear God, please guide the hands of these wonderful doctors who are helping Ava today and every day, until she is able to go back home. You have changed lives, little Ava we are all pulling for you, precious baby. Love and Healing Light xo

I understand that there is some reiokvll but lets face the true fact even with auto tune her singing is completely terrible she doesn’t hold pitch, doesn’t have good diction. The lyrics to this song and to the other is cliche and forced. I don’t have a problem with some one trying to make a go of music but I do have a problem with people like her tainting the spirit of music for fame. Regardless if she becomes famous or not it proves nothing except that people are willing to settle for less
