CALL TO ACTION - MICHAEL JACKSON FANS WORLDWIDE Inspired by MJ's golden, unlimited heart of giving Michael's Heart and Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California are very honored and pleased to join in this global effort.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ♥ Make That Change: Honoring the Man in the Mirror ♥
Many Michael Jackson fans have seen the videos, Make the Homeless Smile. The individuals who made the videos are asking people to shun the latest insignificant trending topics. Instead, they ask that individuals create meaningful social experiences, such as making the homeless smile. In the videos, people from all over the world gave food and clothing to the homeless. The anthem for the first video is Hold My Hand as the gentlemen behind the inspiration of Make the Homeless Smile hand out food and clothing to the homeless which is followed up by the second video set to Man in the Mirror as videos from around the world show people ''making the homeless smile' with their generosity. The video has provided inspiration for many of Michael’s fans. As we all know, helping those less fortunate was a core belief of his. Michael Jackson did not just sing about social issues such as homelessness, poverty and hunger, but he made a difference in countless people’s lives by donating whatever he could to help them. We believe that there would be no better way to honor Michael, than to make the homeless smile on his birthday, August 29. We are asking that if fans are able, to hit the streets of your area, and personally donate to those living on the street, and record it. These donation videos, from around the world, will then be compiled together to make a video similar to the Make the Homeless Smile video. Here’s how you can help: 1. Pledge your participation at the Make that Change pledge site 2. Organize a Make that Change team in your hometown 3. Decide on those items you want to hand out. (Personal care items, clothing, food) 4. When donating to the homeless, please make sure to ask permission to film or photograph them. It is imperative that the less fortunate are treated with courtesy and dignity. Remember that this is not about filming, but rather helping the homeless. 5. We understand that everyone is not able to donate due to financial hardship or disability. By posting this to your site, Facebook page, blog, etc., you are helping to spread the word and doing your part to help make that change! We encourage fans to record or take pictures their experiences and submit the videos to makethatchange4mj@yahoo.com. Let’s all do our part to honor the legacy of the greatest entertainer and humanitarian to ever live, Mr. Michael Jackson. Please remember this effort is a global Michael Jackson fan effort. We must unite together and make that change to honor the man in the mirror by healing the world!
Bittersweet June... a time of reflection. This seems to never change... like the peeling of the layers on an onion different levels appear as the years tick by without MJ here on earth with us. Seems odd to some, who haven’t taken the time to know Michael Jackson, that so many around the world still love him so deeply but to us who have delved into this most interesting and beautiful man’s life and work... who are inspired by the life he led... who have embraced him, his philanthropic heart and his musical artistry deep in our own hearts... to those of us who live his music and his words... it makes perfect sense.
I have tried to shake this feeling about Michael... telling myself, “It’s been four years now. It’s time to let go... time to move on.” Sometimes even hoping for a personal Cher, “Snap Out of IT!” slap moment. Yet it never comes... Michael is deep in my heart and soul. So even if I left the MJ fan community as I’ve come to live it since his death, Michael’s inspiration would still be in my heart and life forever... in a way he never was before. God has placed me on this path and opened my eyes to so much. Sadly, the bittersweet fact is that my life is changed for the better because of Michael Jackson’s death. It is so like Michael Jackson to keep giving good out into the world even in death.
The thread of love continues to grow. Every year I’m blessed and honored to meet more and more beautiful people because of Michael Jackson. The LOVE for Michael keeps him ‘alive.' The LOVE from Michael continues to grow, weaving an invisible golden-threaded tapestry around the globe, connecting hearts, lives and people everyday. In spite of the evil which tried to destroy Michael and continues to dish it’s twisted sorted $$ lies to the mindless public what has become so very clear is that LOVE rises to the top. All the rest... is meaningless. The true man... the beautiful soul God created and filled with more talent than seemed humanly possible for one person will prove to be the Michael that the world will long remember.
This year’s June anniversary, this entire year, was especially difficult for me. This is why I haven’t written much of anything for my blog in quite awhile... the emotions out weighed the words until today. I truly wondered if God had taken the desire to write from me. Physically and emotionally I was not up to the celebrations. Everyday was like, “Draggin’ yourself out of bed” as MJ said to Michael Bearden in regard to the music for Smooth Criminal in TII. Many events, many fans coming into Los Angeles from all over the world filled everyone’s schedules full and for me resulted in a schedule with events and plans for 13 days straight and no energy to carry them out. Although I must say the joy of meeting sweet friends was like a wash of cool, ocean waves over the pervasive shroud of gray covering my heart. Embracing those in person that I’ve only known via Face Book is a joyful tonic like no other. The only time I ever felt truly free of the heaviness was in the occasional embrace of beautiful friends or when surrounded by MJ’s music and voice at Westlake Studios and during musical sensory immersion at the Cirque MJ One show and after party in Vegas. It was in these moments alone when the long fingers of MJ’s affirming, life giving music literally wrapped a healing touch around my lagging spirit... filling me with joy.
I realize now why MJ separated himself from his family and the world and spent long amounts of time dancing, singing and literally completely absorbed in his craft. Transforming, uplifting, spiritual music brings joyful, invigorating life and all the worries of life are left behind. No one can touch those moments... or take them away... they are God given. He shared those moments with us, the world, the intimate time of healing with the creator of his gift of music, art and dance. There are many spiritual Christian hymns that make me feel the same way, which bring spiritual healing. In these moments the Spirit of God lives in the notes and words. They too are a God given blessing... anointed. Yes, Michael was anointed predestined by God to share his gift of artistry with the world in a way no one had ever done before. As Michael himself said many times... his musical creations were from God. He never failed to point to God as his source. I believe this is why his music continues to lift and heal the hearts of so many.
Yes this June the schedule was packed; however there was one event that I looked very forward to and knew I wouldn’t miss if humanly possible... most especially if God was on our side. I didn’t know how I could help or how it would unfold but I love those type of plans. If it’s God’s will... it will happen... do the foot work and God’s puzzle pieces all fall into place. We should all live every day that way.
I was first approached by Mark in April, 2013 in a private message asking if I could assist with his plans. He and his girlfriend, a dear friend of mine, Rachael, were traveling in June to Los Angeles for Michael’s anniversary and he had very special, secret plans for her. It was clear he had thought a great deal about what he was sharing with me. I could feel the nervous excitement and anticipation in his request. I was happily and obligingly sworn to secrecy.
Mark and Rachael, a simply beautiful couple, had met many years ago brought together by their love of Michael Jackson in London as MJ fans. They both attended MJ fan rallies and concerts. Rachael was a strong defender of Michael and Soldier of LOVE, as was Mark, a huge MJ fan and a very artistic, talented dancer as well. Michael brought them together; however life separated them. Michael’s loss brought them back together again reconnected in a new and wonderful way. What is so amazing still to me is how Michael’s LOVE grows daily in the most touching, unexpected ways.
Mark has an unmistakeable spirit of appreciation for others rarely seen in today's world. He exudes gentle charm filled with genuine politeness. Not only is he outwardly handsome and beautiful his humble, considerate spirit warms your heart, bringing grounding consistency, lighting up any situation. His deeply engrained trait of steadfast caring and affability is a true treasure. This runs deep in his soul as his bright, white smile beams forth with genuine, heartfelt tenderness. God has gifted him also with the heart of a helper. He shows sincere caring always alert to the needs of others, jumping in to help without being asked. A ‘man’s man’ as they say and also 'woman’s man' too as is evident in the gentle way he treats Rachael and her children. Deeply artistic he thrives on expression through dance and music... thus his love of Michael... his inspiration. He too has had his share of troubles in his life... but as I’ve said LOVE rises to the top. Mark is just that... Top Notch... the cream of the crop. His outward charm and handsome features only grow stronger as you get to know the caring and genuinely kind man inside. Mark's eyes reveal a lovingly, strong and steadfast giving spirit ... so unmistakably Mike Like.
Rachael is a sweet, enchanting, gentle soul. Her sweet, heady laughter and youthful spirit are in complete opposition to her strong determined nature. She is a force to be reckoned with when she sets her mind to something. She is beautiful and quirky and wonderfully unique. God broke the mold with Rachael. She surprises me every year on her visits to the U.S. from the UK. Her love for her children, family and MJ run very deep in her veins. They are her life blood. Even at first look there is no mistaking her unique, natural, artistic expressiveness. A woman who wears her heart on her sleeve in the most childlike attractive way taking Michael’s love of Peter Pan to heart in her life. Her outward beauty and look of youthfulness are misleading to her age. She has also had her share of pain in this life... however again LOVE rises to the top. Rachael is a survivor and I can identify with her so well... I love her... she is my dear friend. It’s easy to see why Mark has fallen helplessly in love with her as well. They are simply the most gorgeous couple. A perfect match. I am elated for both of them, so blessed to know them and be a part of their lives. I feel like family with them, their protective big sister ready to move mountains for them if need be.
So it was... on the morning of June 23rd that I gathered festive libations for the day and drove to pick up the MJ crew for the drive to the Neverland Flyover 2013. As with most of my plans during June this day's schedule morphed and grew a life of it’s own. I originally was driving four of us; however the group happily and without too much added effort easily grew to seven. If there is anything I have learned while Michaeling it's ‘Let Go and Let God’, schedules are just made to be laughed at and there is always room for one more... well... until you run out of seat belts.

With a full carload of happy, unsuspecting occupants we began our journey to the Santa Ynez Valley. It seemed at every turn someone asked if I could do something for them or stop here or there over the weeks of June and although I was very tired I tried to oblige where I could. As it turned out on this day all was possible including an unplanned side trip to the Hayvenhurst gates. The guard even opened the gates for us affording us a good long look at Kenya, Michael’s chocolate Lab and gift to his children. She happily wagged her tail hello to us. She is such a beautiful, sweet girl. Then there was a quick stop on Ventura Blvd. as bronze Neverland type statues were spotted while I was searching for the freeway on-ramp. Sometimes I find the best things when I’m lost. The day before even with GPS (don’t ask me how that happens but it always includes laughter) I was lost while searching for the rent-a-car place and much to my complete amazement found Center Staging Studios right in front of my eyes. Center Staging Studios is where MJ last recorded and I had often thought about searching for that particular MJ spot. Yet without planning and as a result of helping out friends in need there it was with no effort at all! A really nice Michaeling perk overshadowing the frustration of being lost which had finally set in.
No matter the shift in plans at every turn I kept in the back of my mind Mark’s request. Knowing it was of the highest priority... above all else I had a mission... a quest to get him and my lovely, unsuspecting friend, Rachael, to the gates of Neverland by dusk. Michael’s favorite time of day. Rachael had no clue of any plans, as far as she knew she was the one taking Mark on a very special first helicopter ride over Neverland and to visit the Neverland gates for the first time. Little did she know what was in store.
First on the loose agenda was the Heli Flyover, each of us set to fly in groups of three on our flights. Our scheduled time was ticking by closer and closer as traffic held us up. We stressfully forged through bumper to bumper L.A. freeway traffic. It seemed everyone in L.A. and the San Fernando Valley had decided to go to Ventura Beach via the 101 Freeway on this lazy overcast Saturday. I affirmed to myself and out loud to others that everything happens for a reason and took long slow breaths to try to relax against the time crunch. Finally in Ventura literally hundreds of cars lined up to get off the freeway for a day at the beach. Breathing a very large sigh of relief that I wasn’t one of them on that crowded beach the road opened up and we flew by them all on toward our destination, Santa Ynez Airport.
We could relax now moving more easily with the flow of open road. As we looked to the left ocean waves lazily washed upon the sandy shore under the overhang of misty clouds. The sky still overcast was a good sign that our hold up was for a purpose. Heli flights in cloudy weather are not as mesmerizing and afternoon skies over Neverland are usually always clear in the summer.
At a certain point in the journey with the vast horizon on our left stretching seemingly forever out over the deep Pacific I like to listen to a CD a friend of mine made of Michael talking. His beautiful speaking voice in a collection of speech excerpts, amidst a back drop of several of his songs. Susan popped it in and Michael’s voice filled the car. As usual it was very emotional, touching each person’s heart in a very personal way... resulting in very few dry eyes. No matter how many times I listen to his voice on this journey along the shore somehow it always has the same effect on me. Always it seems the perfect place to listen to his inspirational words. Those words that encourage each of us to bring just a little more LOVE into this world.
For many in the car this was their first Neverland Flyover. It is always so exciting to watch the bliss and euphoria on the faces of the flying new-bees. For me this was my third flyover and although I knew what to expect it was as always just as magical the third time as the first.

Each flight over Neverland I have searched for something special. The first flight spotting and discovering the Memorbilia House on the hill where Michael kept many of his honors, plaques, gold records and award statues. He didn’t like to keep them in the main house so he stored them in this three bedroom, ranch house on Neverland property as well as many other warehouses. The second flight gifted me with the close up sighting of the spectacular Giving Tree. I will never forget it, sitting so stately at the end of the bridge and spotting Michael’s platform which still remains snug in it’s branches. This flight, the third flight, my desire was to spot the Neverland Basketball Court with the Neverland logo of the little boy sitting on a crescent moon painted on the court. We flew over the property three times peering down into Michael’s magical world. Sadly the rides are gone but the grounds are pristine, restored as if waiting for their return one day. The fountains were not on for this flight as they had been the previous year yet the lake was just as beautiful and enchanting. I also had a deeper feeling of sadness this time that I have not felt previously... there it was again that shroud of gray. Shaking it off I continued intently searching for the basketball court to no avail. Finally letting the gray take over I settled into acceptance this time may not result in my discovery of a new special Michael place at Neverland. Quite possibly it was hidden by trees around the house area. Then just as I decided to enjoy the rest of the ride unfettered... no sooner than I’d surrendered the search... there it was! Right there before my eyes protected from the afternoon sun... the basketball court lay just nestled up against a wall protected from the afternoon sun... which might explain why the logo is still in such terrific shape, unless it’s also been restored as so much of Neverland has been. It was hard to tell which... but there it sat just along the road leading out to the rides and the petting zoo. It was much further from the main house than I had anticipated. Joyfully I realized I had been looking in the wrong place. Yet before the flight was over, and those flights seem to always never be long enough, we never want them to end, right there like a gift out of no where... it lay before my eyes. I could see Michael playing around down there... in my minds eye... and wondered how many times Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant or Mike Tyson or any of Michael’s other friends or cousins played around on that court with him. My mind drifted thinking about how incredibly giving and generous Michael was with his precious home, Neverland. How notorious he was for letting his friends use and fully enjoy Neverland while he was away on tour or working. How many people allow others into their homes in such a way? No one I know... especially such an incredible home? Michael was generous to a fault... too trusting... too caring if there is such a thing... Michael was just that. Sadly it was just that amazing quality that opened his life and home up to greedy, users, liars and manipulators. Oh... if only we could turn back time...
For me at that point the Heli trip was complete. Settling in, no picture taking needed as I’d taken pictures on previous flights and just wanted to relax now, drink in the flight and view of Michael’s most beautiful, magical home of LOVE. I regret not capturing a pic of the basketball court. It all just went by too quickly. Neverland is truly such an incredibly gorgeous, enchanting oasis... there again comes that shroud of gray. If only things had been different Michael might still be living there today in the home he created. I wondered about his daughter, Paris, who is hospitalized and deeply misses her father... and if the world would ever leave Michael’s children alone long enough for them to live their lives and fully heal from the loss of their father. I wondered if they would ever move back to Neverland as I pictured them all happily playing on the grounds of Neverland together. All these thoughts circled in my mind and heart and with a heavy, ‘time will tell’ sigh... I surrendered it all to God in a silent prayer. All I know is that LOVE rises to the top.
Soon each of us, like Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, had taken our joyful, magical flight in the clear blue sky over Neverland. Some were speechless as they tried to assimilate what they had just experienced. Some were giddy, talking away. I however was mostly quiet or talking to myself quietly about time management. Compartmentalizing as I knew 'dusk at the gates' was the end game plan... and I needed to make that happen for my dear friends.
Most definitely on my list of ‘To Do’ items was to show my band of merry men... errrr... ahhh... MJ friends... quaint Los Olivos with the flag pole literally in the center of town. The town down the road from Neverland where MJ had shopped and walked the streets so many times. Just as if planned that way it fit just perfectly with the 'gates at dusk' plan. Yes, God was in charge and it seemed to be falling into place. Not even an accidental bashing in of the license plate on the rent-a-car hindered us, as both Mark and I worked feverishly with the aid of the J. Woeste, Phillips-head, screw driver to pound it back into a flattened state. Smiling as we worked (well mostly Mark worked & I supervised) and conferring on the 'dusk at the gates' plans... we both looked at one another not knowing what was in store and shrugged. His nervousness did not seem to be assuaged by my, “You will know the right moment. God will show you.”
Like kids on an adventure we were all anxious to see the magic of J. Woeste Nursery. Although most had no idea what I was talking about when I attempted to explain where we were going... and after only a few words all that can really be said is, “You’ll see.” This magical escape truly fails description... a waste of breath really to even try. Only your eyes and senses can explain a trip here. I simply LOVE to see the look on the faces of those who enter these gates for the first time, to hear the astonished, gleeful gasp as they take in their first visual and sensual experience behind the gate as it opens and another world envelopes them. Thus here we enjoyed the late afternoon cool of the day, bathed in the warm, yellow-amber tones of the sun as it sank into the horizon of pale blue California sky. Here through this portal of fantastical escape from everyday normal life, surrounded by the winding paths of succulent heaven, we lost ourselves, strolling the seemingly endless enchanted paths, investigating every nook and cranny until finally emerging at the front gate where giant wind chimes hung in the ancient Eucalyptus tree. The heavenly sounds engulfing us as we posed for a group picture. Then with the license plate flattened and reattached, none the worse for wear, and a hearty, smiling, “Thank you!” to our host at J. Woeste we reluctantly pulled ourselves away from this fairyland, and set out into the quaint and quiet town of Los Olivos. Here we walked the country streets looking for a place to eat dinner. It was late and not much was open as Los Olivos rolls up it’s welcome mats early everyday even on the weekends; however we were blessed to find a coffee house with minutes to spare before the registers closed. They were still serving a light dinner of small personal pizza and soda. Most everyone decided to try Root Beer and the reactions were very funny. Some not liking it so much and wondering who would ever want to drink that stuff? Some feeling it was a great U.S. treat reveling in getting their hands on an ice cold bottle of the rich brown beverage. With dinner complete and unbeknownst to most in the car enough time was purposely passed to just make a slow drive down the road to arrive just before dusk at the gates. We all situated ourselves back into the SUV and moved on down Figueroa Mountain Rd., Michael’s road to Neverland...
just there... the second star to the right.
Upon arrival at the gates the merry band piled out of the car to the sounds of, “Oh my God... we’re here! We are actually here! I can’t believe I’m actually here at Michael’s Neverland gates!”
I parked the SUV in a place where I don’t normally park, knowing I needed to have handy and quick access to the hidden ice chest in the back while they all wandered the peaceful grounds at the gate and along the fence perimeter. I could feel Mark’s nervousness. Again privately I nodded encouragement whispering, “You will know the right time.” I was worried my anxiousness and whispering too would give things away. However there was no clue in Rachael eyes as the presence of the place filled her heart. She decided instead of visiting close to the gates she needed to be away from the many who were visiting this day. In search of some quiet, alone time Mark and Rachael began to walk down the road. Mark gave me a look of, “What should I do?” I shrugged as I glanced at the sun sinking in the afternoon sky and said a quick prayer, “Ok Lord, you know the desire of Mark’s heart. If this is meant to be then You make it happen.” It was at that exact moment as I fiddled in the ice chest a car pulled up along side me and stopped. A smiling familiar face said, “Hello! How are you?” I was utterly amazed... again as if it was planned just that way. I quickly relayed the plans for dusk. His face beamed and with a giant grin he said to me, “Follow my lead. Just get them back down here... now.”
So I urgently waved for them to return to the gates and swiftly confided my secret to Marcela and sent her scurrying down the road with Susan to gather them both back to the gates. At their urging Mark escorted Rachael back to the gates trying not to answer her many questions about why. The gates opened and I led Rachael forward. Mark stepped inside looking VERY apprehensive as if he was experiencing an out of body surreal like state. I thought maybe he was going to need to pinch himself at any moment to see if he was dreaming. Rachael excitedly asked me, “What is happening? I don’t understand. What is going on?” I gently guided her by the arm calmly saying, “Shhhh... it’s ok... this is for you.” Nodding yes and directing her inside, “This is all for you. Step inside.” There just inside the gates Mark gently, lightly pulled her by the hand to him, then retrieved the ring box from of his pants pocket where it had been safely hidden all day. Here in this moment, this place and time with the giant Sycamores and ancient graceful California Oaks that have witnessed centuries of history on this land a silent hush fell over Neverland. The trees whispered a soothing song in the gentle breeze urging Mark forward. Everyone’s eyes were on him attentive, listening, no one breathing. Just listening intently to hear his words. He began to pour his heart out to her. His love overflowed... words overwhelmed him. He had told me so many times he needed to be on one knee when he proposed to her as he wanted desperately to fulfill her life long wish... yet at this very moment he seemed frozen. Rachael was shaking like a leaf in the wind unable to comprehend what was happening. Then in sudden realization as she saw the ring box she nervously laughed and chided him, “Well, get down on one knee.” Assuring her he smiled and dropped to one knee, opened the ring box which contained a very special ring especially engraved with "Neverland", looked into her eyes and found the words deep in his heart as he told her how much he loved her, ending with the words which completed the magic of the day, changing their lives, “Will you marry me?” He took a huge breath as she said, “YES! YES!” Then he slid the ring onto her finger and they kissed. Everyone even those not in our group were watching and enjoying the amazing moment. It was magical, memorable and so incredibly beautiful! The very first proposal at Neverland gates. Yes... God always makes a way and LOVE always rises to the top!
Of course there is one red rose in full bloom!
Pictures were snapped and much joyous celebration took place as I pulled the chilled champagne from the ice chest and laid out crackers and cheese and fruit plates. The happy couple made a special engagement toast with my family’s special silver goblets that have been used for several generations of marital and anniversary celebratory toasting. It seemed appropriate for them to use them as I feel they are so much a part of my family now, my sister, my brother. Champagne and raspberries and special pics together at Michael’s front gate just at dusk when the light is so special.
Yes... Michael’s magical, favorite time of the day... the perfect setting for engagement pictures.
Our loose plan was to wait until dark to view the Super Moon. To see the view Michael would have seen from his property in this corner of the earth. On this particular night coincidentally, of all nights, the Moon was the closest to earth. The biggest and brightest moon of the entire year. A Moonwalker, special engagement gift to this very special couple. However just like most of my plans... this one morphed as well. This night, the Super Moon night, most unusual for summer it was an extra breezy, very cool night which delivered a layer of foggy, low clouds not normally seen so far inland during June. As a result we couldn’t see the moon at all. However it didn’t dampen our spirits after a very beautiful, fulfilling day. By this time I could finally take a deep breath. I had completed my main mission for my sweet friends, now able to just relax before the adventures of what would be a hectic coming week filled with many MJ events. However for now things were calm... I reveled in the glow on the faces of all my friends. Thanking God to be apart of this special day. Yes for me the most important mission was now over. She said, “YES!” Mark and Rachael were simply beaming... clearly floating in a world all their own. Mark had given her the most memorable proposal any MJ fan could ever want... a day they will both cherish For All Time.
It was difficult to pull ourselves away from the peace, joy and new found memories of Neverland’s gates; however with no sight of the Super Moon we needed to move on, embark on the long journey home. We all took one last look at Los Olivos twinkling in the night as we turned left off Figueroa Mountain Rd. We traveled through the night toward home, a quiet satisfaction filled the car. Lost in our own personal thoughts it wasn’t long before the country road Michael traveled many, many times lifted us up out of the Santa Ynez Valley to the bluff over looking Santa Barbara. It was here the giant, silver moon rose before us in the sky and shined magnificently down upon the Pacific to our right. Much to our elation and joy it was now crystal clear... only wisps of clouds remained here and there. The glow of the moon on the clouds lit them up like tufts of cotton candy in the dark sky as the Super Moon like a beacon in the night guided us on our path homeward. The giant moon shined so incredibly bright on the still ocean water it was as if a mirror shined back providing the view of two Super Moons. Simply Magnificent! I had to pull over a couple of times for pictures and just to drink it all in. It was simply breathtaking! The most spectacular sight of the moon I’ve ever seen on a most special day. My life has been connected to the moon in many ways as my father worked for NASA and I grew up focused on the journey to the moon during the Space Race of the ‘60s and the first men walking on the moon. Then of course with MJ our Moonwalker and now this beautiful, remarkable memory added to them all. This day never to be forgotten with some of the most wonderful and lovely people God has brought into my life since Michael’s passing. Only God could have provided this day so perfectly.
Yes again Michael’s wish coming true... his wish that all men and women would be united in LOVE on this planet. In our MJ community which wraps its loving arms around this globe this happens every single day. For those of my friends who don’t understand why I can’t give up my Michaeling and MJ celebrations... or maybe just for that part of myself that wonders why... THIS is why... the awe and the wonder... and the LOVE. Here in this vehicle traveling south along the California 101 freeway with the Super Moon as our guiding light, shinning ever so bright over the Pacific I am at complete peace as I listen to the “Oooohs” and “Aaaahs” and the joyous laughter and conversation of those in tow...
Marcela, Rachel, Kathy, Mark & Rachael, me (Betty), Susan
... Mark Anthony Anderson and Rachael Foster, the lovely UK couple I was so blessed to be apart of their engagement plans and whose love for one another was simply effervescent and overflowing. I am so very happy for you both. Also Susan Brookes my sweet, gracious friend and MJ room lover from the UK whose enthusiasm for all things Michael is so contagious and love of animals so inspiring; sweet Kathy Beaudoin from Canada whose face glowed with pure joy and magic the entire U.S. trip. Then of course glowing and simply stunning Marcela Torres from Argentina who literally radiates a natural, sweet spirit of LOVE for everyone she meets and finally Rachel Gillard-Tew from New Zealand who showed us all what pure bliss and rebirth looked like as she found her true self on this journey to America.
All but two of you I met in person for the first time this June yet felt I’d known you all for a lifetime. We are connected... we are bonded. God bless everyone of you and thank you for including me in your plans this year. Your open hearts and compassion helped lift the pesky shroud of gray in my life. A Big Thank You for sharing and gifting me with these moments and these adventures and a BIGGER congratulations to our engaged couple, Mark and Rachael. May your dreams all come true and may you be blessed with a beautiful life together.
I’ll be expecting an invite to the wedding... wink ;)
Niko, my hunter kitty really loves Susan. I
mean he adores Susan!!! The first place he wants to be when Susan visits
is in her lap. He also seems to know my love of Doves is shared by
Susan. Soooo to our absolute horror and amazement, as I was
hands full and busy on the phone with the rent-a-car company, Niko proudly pranced in
the house and deposited a gift for Susan. He caught a beautiful, shimmering, taupe
Morning Dove and with great pride dropped it on the carpet at her feet. The poor little bird
which we immediately named, Ben, was in shock. Attempting to flap his
wings for a frantic escape from the jaws of death.
He was
just a baby, which the incomplete ring on his neck revealed. The ring
becomes more prominent as they grow to adulthood. Susan frantically
gathered up the Dove to safety from Niko's darting lurches... although
it was a present he just couldn't help himself... you could practically
see him drooling as he eyed the poor little thing. She nurtured the
frightened bird peacefully cupping him in her hands with soothing
strokes protected on her lap. After the initial shock of our new visitor wore off and a bit of discussion about how shocking it can be
for them to be so close to humans I carefully took Ben, carried him
to the back yard and gently released him near the ground to see if he could fly free. Niko had not only shocked
him but we were afraid his right wing might be damaged as well. He
floundered in the yard unable to fly. Carefully I retrieved him from the
ground as he clumsily attempted flight, regathered him, cupped his soft feathery warm body in
my hands, speaking comforting, calming words and prayers over him.
Although he was frightened he readily settled into our cupped hands with
no fight, a peaceful assured look in his eyes. It's a strange unnatural
feeling holding a wild animal so close. Yet it seemed he sensed he was
safe, protected and loved for the moment.
We then walked up the
street to the Rec Hall area, here there are large grassy, protected areas
where he would have more room for release. There too he was free from
Niko's hunting skills. Sadly he was still unable to fly and only seemed to
want to rest so we gently laid him in the grass under a palm tree,
stepped back observed for a moment or two and then gave him to God,
returning home to finish preparing for our Michaeling adventure for the
day. However as we left we just couldn't rest easy about Ben so we
decided to make a u turn and return to check on him. As I turned the car
around toward the Rec Hall there in the street was yet another dove
walking right before the car in the street. His sister? His mate? This
has happened to me before. Seems they know my car and keep an eye on me.
LOL This little dove walked there before us and then lifted in flight
toward the roof of the Rec Hall.
We parked, climbed out of the car eager
to see how Ben was. He was fine... still resting, regaining his strength
in the safety of the grass under the tall palm... but it was hot so we
decided he needed to be in the cool of the garden or he would bake in
the hot sun. Also Niko had not been gentle with his right wing and we
feared he may not be able to fly again... and there were large black
crows gathering close by in the grass. So we moved him, placing him in
the cool of a garden alcove. As we drove away the healthy
Dove flew over as if to say thank you.
Very early the next morning after
a long Michaeling day and night, while I was still sleepy and very groggy,
Susan who was on UK time couldn't sleep and walked down to the Rec Hall to check in on Ben. She
returned home with the news that he was gone... no longer in the safe, cool protected garden. Thankfully there was no sign of feathers or harm had come to him. Our hearts lifted as we
hoped that he had rested, recouped and flew away free. To our joy and utter delight not much later as
Susan was enjoying the warmth of the Southern California sun she loves so much out in my back garden both doves flew into my Giving Tree and spent some
time cooing a warm, friendly thank you.
Thank you God for healing Ben's wing and enabling him to fly free again.
Hopefully Niko will now leave the Doves alone. Please Niko you are a very good hunter but... PLEASE NOT THE DOVES!!!

♥One Rose for Michael J. Jackson - Pay It Forward:
Also we are once again privileged to "Pay It Forward." Last year MJ fans delivered many buckets of roses to surprised, homeless women veterans at a Los Angeles Veterans woman's shelter. It is with great joy that we are able to share the wonderful consequences of our act of LOVE. As a result of this giving gesture of LOVE in Michael's memory a seed was planted in the heart of an anonymous person present that daywho witnessed the joy and appreciation the ladies experienced as they embraced their roses.
Our simple act of generosity grew exponentially as this anonymous donor personally took it upon themselves to continue the gift of flowers to the women veterans by generously delivering flowers every month after June 26th for the entire 2012 year. The smiles and LOVE grew and grew all year long with these regularflower deliveries.What an incredible thing! I am so proud and appreciative to be a apart of such a beautiful expression of LOVE. I do believe Michael is smiling down from heaven above.
Thank you to everyone who bought roses last year as you can hold in your hearts that you were also apart of this beautiful, loving gesture as we "Paid It Forward in Michael's Memory."
Flowers were also taken last year to Baby Land and Lullaby Land at Forest Lawn, Glendale. Where Michael's Holly Terrace over looks the babies buried there. This is a perfect way to show respect and honor to these little souls whose parents and families no longer visit. This is the one time of year that flowers are showered down on them as well... in Michael's memory as we "Pay it Forward."
Sparrs Senior Center in Glendale was thrilled to be gifted with buckets of red roses for seniors to enjoy as they ate their meals in the cafeteria stage area. Sparrs reaches out to both Seniors and young children as a social gathering place and Performing Arts Community Center. This made it the perfect place for our rose donation in Michael's memory. The buckets of roses much to our delight were placed center stage right where Michael will always belong.♥
Excerpt from a Face Book post by Robyn Starkand:
"We
will again this year pay the love forward in Michael's name donating
the roses on June 26th to less fortunate people, bringing them joy and
love, also included in this we will be bringing buckets of roses to
Baby Land and Lullaby Land at Forest lawn as we did last year.... Michael
will again be smiling down on us for continuing his message of love."
Thank you all for your love and support, One Rose for Michael J. Jackson

"To give someone a piece of your heart, is worth more than all the wealth in the world.” ~ Michael Jackson (Donner à quelqu'un une partie de son cœur vaut plus que toutes les richesses du monde) ♥ One Rose for Michael J. Jackson - " redistribuer à des tiers " Aussi encore une fois nous avons le privilège de "redistribuer à des tiers " . L'année dernière les fans de MJ ont livré plusieurs seaux de roses à des femmes d'anciens combattants SDF qui étaient surprises au refuge de "la femme des anciens combattants " de Los Angeles. C'est avec une grande joie que nous pouvons partager les merveilleux résultats de notre acte d' AMOUR. Suite à notre geste d'AMOUR en mémoire à Michael, une graine a été plantée dans le cœur d'une personne anonyme présente ce jour là qui a été témoin de la joie et de la reconnaissance éprouvées par les femmes qui recevaient leurs roses.
Notre simple geste de générosité a pris une telle ampleur puisque que ce donneur anonyme a décidé personnellement de continuer le don de fleurs aux femmes d'anciens combattants en livrant généreusement des fleurs chaque mois après le 26 juin pendant toute l'année 2012. Les sourires et l' AMOUR ont été de plus en plus nombreux tout au long de l'année avec ces livraisons régulières de fleurs. Quelle chose incroyable !! Je suis si fière et reconnaissante de participer à une si belle expression de l'AMOUR. Je crois que Michael est en train de sourire depuis les Cieux. Merci à toutes les personnes qui ont acheté des roses l'année dernière comme cela peut vous tenir à cœur de participer aussi à ce beau geste d'amour car nous "redistribuons à des tiers" en mémoire à Michael.
Le fleurs ont aussi été apportées l'année dernière à Baby Land et Lullaby Land à Forest Lawn, à Glendale. Où l'Holly Terrace de Michael surplombe les bébés enterrés là. C'est la meilleure façon de montrer du respect et d'honorer ces petites âmes qui ne reçoivent plus de visites de leurs parents et leurs familles. C'est la seule fois de l'année que des fleurs leurs sont déposées aussi .. en mémoire à Michael car nous "redistribuons à des tiers " Le centre "Sparrs senior" à Glendale a été ravi de recevoir en cadeau des seaux de roses rouges pour divertir les séniors lorsqu' ils mangeaient leur repas dans l'espace de la scène de la cafétéria. Le Sparrs tend la main à la fois aux seniors et aux jeunes enfants comme lieu de rassemblement social et centre de la communauté des arts de la scène. Ceci a rendu l'endroit parfait pour notre don de roses en mémoire à Michael. A notre grand joie, les seaux de roses ont été placés au centre de la scène , juste à l'endroit auquel Michael appartiendra toujours . ♥
Extrait d'un post Facebook de Robyn Starkand : " Cette année encore, nous redistribuerons l'amour reçu au nom de Michael en donnant les roses le 26 Juin aux personnes moins fortunées en leur apportant de la joie et de l'amour , tout comme nous apporterons des seaux de roses à Baby Land et Lullaby Land à Forest Lawn comme nous l'avons fait l'année dernière.. Michael nous sourira encore de là haut pour la continuité de son message d'amour " Merci pour votre amour et votre supportOne Rose for Michael J. Jackson

♥ Una Rosa Para Michael J. Jackson – ‘Paga De Vuelta’: (Te ofrece crecimiento espiritual para volver a centrarte a ti mismo, y servir a los demás.)
También tenemos una vez más el privilegio de "Pagar De Vuelta". El año pasado, los fans de MJ entregamos muchos cubos de rosas a sorprendidas viejitas sin hogar, en el refugio de Los Angeles. Es con gran alegría que podemos compartir las maravillosas consecuencias de nuestro gesto de A.M.O.R. Como resultado de este gesto de dar A.M.O.R. en memoria de Michael se plantó una semilla en el corazón de una persona anónima presente ese día, que fue testigo de la alegría y el agradecimiento de las señoras experimentaron mientras se abrazaban a sus rosas.
Nuestro simple acto de generosidad creció exponencialmente a medida que este donante anónimo personalmente se encargó de continuar con el regalo de flores a las viejitas. Generosamente ha entregado flores cada mes después de junio 26 por todo el año 2012. Las sonrisas y A.M.O.R. crecieron y crecieron durante todo el año con estas entregas regulares de flores. ¡Qué cosa tan increíble! Me siento muy orgullosa y agradecida de ser parte de ESTA hermosa expresión de A.M.O.R. Creo que Michael está sonriendo desde arriba en el cielo.
¡Gracias a todos los que compraron rosas el año pasado. También Uds. pueden guardar las rosas en sus corazones porque también fueron parte de este gesto hermoso, amoroso como nosotros "Pagar De Vuelta” en memoria de Michael.
El año pasado se llevaron flores también a “Baby Land” (Tierra de los Bebés) y Lullaby Land, (Tierra De Las Canciones De Cuna) en Forest Lawn, Glendale. La tumba de Michael en Holly Terrace (Terraza Santa) tiene vista, sobre Baby LAnd y Lullaby Land, es decir sobre las tumbas de los bebés enterrados allí. Esta es una manera perfecta de mostrar respeto y honor a estas pequeñas almas cuyos padres y las familias ya no los visitan. Este es el momento del año las flores son una lluvia sobre ellos, así es como las rosas “Pagan De Vuelta” en memoria de Michael.
El Centro Sparrs Senior en Glendale estaba encantado de estar dotados con cubos de rosas rojas para las personas mayores que disfrutaban mientras comían su comida en la zona del escenario-cafetería. Sparrs es un lugar que se extiende tanto a los mayores como a los niños pequeños como un lugar de reunión social y Centro de Artes Escénicas de la Comunidad. Esto hizo que éste fuera el lugar perfecto para nuestra donación de rosas en memoria de Michael. Los cubos de rosas para nuestro regocijo se colocaron justo en el centro del escenario, el lugar donde Michael siempre pertenecerá ♥
Extracto de una excelente publicación de Robyn Starkand en el Facebook:
"Una vez más este año el amor “Paga De Vuelta” en el nombre de Michael con la donación de las rosas el 26 de junio a las personas menos afortunadas, llevándoles alegría y amor, también se incluyen recipientes de rosas a la Tierra De Los Bebés (Baby Land) y a la Tierra De Las Canciones de Cuna (Lullaby Land) en Forest Lawn como lo hicimos el año pasado .... Michael volverá a estar sonriéndonos por continuar con su mensaje de amor.”
Gracias a todos por su amor y apoyo,
One Rose Para Michael J. Jackson

Это очень хорошая новость! С большой радостью и счастьем сообщаю, и снова могу объявить в этом году, что "Одна роза Для Майкла Дж. Джексона" снова состоится. Еще раз спасибо за ваше проявление любви и заботы! Мы, MJ фанаты, которые усердно работали, чтобы сделать это реальностью для Майкла Джексона и его поклонников по всему миру, снова будем иметь честь создать покрывало из роз для Майкла с любовью в виде моря красных роз сорта «Свобода».
♥ поклонники Майкла прольют снова дождь из красных роз над местом упокоения Майкла на Forest Lawn, Holly Terrace в этом году на 4-й годовщине ухода Майкла от нас.
♥ Захватывающие красные розы повсюду для Майкла Джексона на Holly Terrace в его честь в годовщину его смерти, 25 июня 2013 года.
♥ Благодаря двум девушкам, Робин и Сарре, их невероятной, тяжелой работе, представляется сделать возможным это событие для MJ поклонников по всему миру, чтобы продолжать показывать свою любовь к Майклу самым потрясающим образом в июне 25 числа. Событие, которое происходит каждый год, начиная с 1-й годовщины его кончины.
♥ Каждый год мы показываем Майклу свою любовь удивительно красивым и ярким способом , это заявление о нашей любви перед всем миром, что Майкл всегда будет любим безмерно и всегда будет в наших сердцах, никогда не будет забыт.
Мы продолжаем подниматься выше! Любовь побеждает!
♥ цена составляет $ 3,00 за одну красную розу с длинным стеблем сорта «Свобода» ♥
ПОЖАЛУЙСТА, ОБРАТИТЕ ВНИМАНИЕ: Как и в прошлом году расчетная стоимость розы включает в себя сборы, деньги на процессинг, расходы на грузоперевозку, налоги и другие расходы. После указанных сборов, все оставшиеся деньги пойдут на покупку добавочных роз.Отдать кому-то кусочек своего сердца, стоит больше, чем все богатства мира ». ~ Michael Jackson
♥ Одна Роза для Майкла Дж. Джексона – мероприятие Pay It Forward: Кроме того, мы еще раз имеем честь провести мероприятие "Pay It Forward". В прошлом году MJ фанаты привезли и подарили множество ведер роз удивленным обитателям, дома для женщин-ветеранов в приюте для бездомных в Лос-Анджелесе. Такая большая радость, что мы можем поделиться замечательным плодами нашей демонстрации любви! И как результат этого жеста любви в памяти Майкла семя любви было посажено в сердце каждого, ибо в тот день каждый был свидетелем радости и признательности дам из приюта, когда они получили розы в подарок. Наш простой акт щедрости вырос в геометрической прогрессии после того, как некий анонимного донор лично взял на себя обязательство продолжить этот цветочный «розовый» дар женщинам-ветеранам, щедро пообещав доставлять цветы каждый месяц после 26 июня в течение всего 2012 года. Улыбки и любовь росла и росла в течение всего года с этими регулярными поставками цветов. Какая невероятная вещь! Я так горжусь и благодарна быть частью этой такой красивой акции выражения любви. Я верю: Майкл улыбается с небес. Спасибо всем, кто купил розы в прошлом году, так как вы можете считать себя участниками прекрасного жеста любви Pay It Forward."
Цветы также были доставлены в прошлом году на участки под названиями Земля Детства и Колыбельная Земля на кладбище Forest Lawn, Glendale. Место упокоения Майкла
Holly Terrace выходит как раз на эти места, где захоронено множество детей. Это прекрасный способ показать уважение и почтение к этим маленьким душам, чьи родители и семьи больше не посещают их. Это – единственный раз в году, когда цветы украшают их могилки, когда мы в память о Майкле, проводим это мероприятие - "Pay It Forward".
Sparrs Senior Center в городе Глендейл был взволнован, когда получил в подарок ведра красных роз для пожилых людей, чтобы украсить их прием пищи в кафетерии. Sparrs принимает у себя людей как старшего, так и младшего возраста, а также функционирует как общественный центр и центр исполнительских искусств: Community Center. Это сделало его идеальным местом для пожертвования наших роз в память Майкла. Множество ведер роз к нашей радости были размещены прямо в центре местной сцены, места, как известно, которое для Майкл всегда было домом родным. ♥
Выдержки из сообщения на Face Book от Robyn Starkand: "Мы в этом году платим дань любви от имени Майкла путем пожертвования роз 26 июня для менее удачливых людей, принося им радость и любовь. Также сюда включено мероприятие по доставке ведер роз на Землю Детства и Колыбельная Земля на Forest Lawn, как мы это делали в прошлом году .... Майкл снова будет улыбаться нам сверху – ведь это продолжение его послания любви ". Спасибо вам всем за вашу любовь и поддержку, Робин Старканд. «Одна роза для Майкла Дж. Джексона»

Dies sind großartige Neuigkeiten!
Es ist mir eine große Freude, dass ich dieses Jahr wieder in der Lage bin, zu verkünden, dass „One Rose for Michael“ wieder stattfinden wird. Noch einmal meinen Dank für das Engagement all der liebenden und fürsorglichen MJ-Fans, die fleißig daran gearbeitet haben, um dieses Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen für Michael Jackson und seinen liebenden Fans auf der ganzen Welt. Wir werden wieder die Ehre haben, Michael mit LIEBE in Form von einem See von roten Freedom (Freitheit) Rosen zu bedecken.
♥ Michaels Fans werden dieses Jahr fortfahren, Michaels Ruhestätte in Forest Lawn, Holly Terrace zum 4. Jahrestag mit unseren roten Rosen zu überhäufen.
♥ Überall werden tolle rote Rosen sein, um Michael Jackson in Holly Terrace an seinem Todestag am 25. Juni 2013 zu ehren.
♥ Danke an Robyn und Sarrah für ihre großartigen Bemühungen, es MJ Fans von der ganzen Welt möglich zu machen, Michael in jedem Jahr seit seinem Tod am 25. Juni unsere Liebe auf diese spektakuläre Art und Weise zu zeigen.
♥ Jedes Jahr hat sich erwiesen, dass diese Aktion ein erstaunlich schönes und strahlendes Statement (Aussage) der LIEBE an die Welt ist; das Michael für immer über die Maßen geliebt werden wird und für immer in unseren Herzen sein wird und niemals vergessen sein wird.
BITTE BEACHTEN: Wie schon im letzten Jahr beinhalten die kalkulierten Kosten pro Rose die Gebühren, Währungsdifferenzen, Frachtkosten, Steuern und sonstige Kosten. Sobald die genannten Gebühren abgezogen wurden und sich ein Guthaben ergibt, wird dieses Guthaben in den Erwerb von mehr Rosen fließen.
MJ Fans können jetzt ihre Rose(n) mit paypal bezahlen:

♥ Mit der Kauf dieser Rosen werdet ihr dieses Jahr wieder eine wunderschöne, persönliche Namensplakette erhalten. Diese könnt ihr posten und teilen, oder als persönliches Erinnerungsstück in Euren Dateien speichern.
♥ One Rose for Michael J. Jackson – Gib es weiter:
Wir haben auch wieder das Vorrecht, weitergeben zu dürfen. Vergangenes Jahr haben MJ-Fans Eimer voll Rosen an überraschten, obdachlosen Veteranen Frauen in einem Heim in Los Angeles überreicht. Es ist uns eine große Freude, diese herrlichen Auswirkungen unserer Liebes-Aktion teilen zu dürfen.
Als ein Ergebnis dieser Geste der Liebe fiel ein Same in das Herz einer anonymen Person, die an jenem Tag anwesend war. Sie wurde Zeugin der Freude und Dankbarkeit, die die Damen erfuhren, als sie ihre Rosen umschlossen.
Unsere einfache Geste der Freigebigkeit wuchs um ein Vielfaches weil ein anonymer Spender es auf sich nahm, weiterhin Blumen an die Veteranen Frauen zu verschenken. Im ganzen Jahr nach dem 26. Juni wurden jeden Monat Blumen geliefert dank der Großzügigkeit dieses anonymen Spenders.
Das Lächeln und die Liebe wuchs und wuchs das ganze Jahr lang mit der regelmäßigen Blumenlieferung. Was für ein unglaubliches Ding! Ich bin so stolz und dankbar, ein Teil dieses wunderbaren Ausdrucks der Liebe zu sein. Ich glaube bestimmt, dass Michael vom Himmel auf uns herab lächelt.
Vielen Dank an alle, die im letzten Jahr Rosen gekauft haben. Ihr dürft in Euren Herzen haben, dass auch ihr Anteil habt an dieser herrlichen, liebenden Geste als wir „zur Erinnerung an Michael weitergereicht“ haben.
An das ‚Baby Land’ und ‚Lullaby Land’ auf Forest Lawn, Glendale, wurden ebenfalls Blumen weitergegeben. Von Michaels Holly Terrace blickt man auf Grabstätten, in denen Babies beigesetzt wurden. Dieses ist die perfekte Art und Weise um den kleinen Seelen unseren Respekt und Ehre zu erweisen, die weder von ihren Eltern, noch von ihren Familien besucht werden. Einmal im Jahr werden diese Gräber ebenfalls mit Blumen überhäuft…zum Gedächtnis an Michael geben wir an andere weiter.
Sparrs Seniorenheim in Glendale war begeistert davon, mit Eimern voller Rosen für die Senioren beschenkt zu werden, während diese gerade ihre Mahlzeiten im Bühnenbereich der Cafeteria einnahmen. Sparrs ist ein sozialer Treffpunkt und eine Begegnungsstätte für darstellende Künste und kümmert sich sowohl um Senioren als auch um kleine Kinder. Daher war dies der perfekte Ort für unsere Rosen-Spende zum Andenken an Michael. Zu unserer großen Freude wurden die Rosen im Zentrum der Bühne hingestellt, dort wo Michael für immer hingehört. ♥
Ausschnitt aus einem Face Book post von Robyn Starkand:
„Wir werden auch dieses Jahr wieder am 26. Juni Rosen an Menschen weiterreichen, die weniger wohlhabend sind; wir möchten ihnen Freude und Liebe bringen. In diese Aktion sind auch dieses Jahr wieder das Baby Land und Lullaby Land auf Forest Lawn eingeschlossen. Michael wird sicher wieder auf uns hinablächeln weil wir seine Botschaft der Liebe weitertragen.“
Danke für all Eure Liebe und Unterstützung
One Rose for Michael J. Jackson.
