Please look at this beautiful white rose! And then – consider this: I want to take a white rose – just like this one. . ....and place it at the base of the shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Portugal. In your name! ...on the 99th Anniversary of the Fatima Miracle of the Sun. Send Our Lady a White Rose - click here >>> This can be a wonderful spiritual experience for you – and I don’t want you to be left out. But I must warn you that there are only so many roses I can take. You must reserve yours quickly. And time is running out! So please - allow me to place a white rose, in your name, on the very spot where Our Lady appeared. My dear friend, you know that every woman’s heart glows when she is given a rose. And a white rose touches that “pearl-like” quality in her. And to Our Lady, certainly God’s “pearl of great price”, a white rose, surely reminds her of the privilege of Her Immaculate Conception.
So I am sending two America Needs Fatima representatives, to deliver your white
 rose to the very spot where Our Blessed Lady appeared to the three little shepherds of Fatima.
Just think - by sending a white rose to Fatima, you will be honoring Mary’s purity, and consoling Her for so many offenses and blasphemies against her Son and Herself. You will be telling Her from across the Ocean, “America loves you, America thanks you.” Plus - by sending a white rose to Fatima, you will also be helping support the national Public Square Rosary campaign taking place on October 15, 2016. And America is desperately in need of prayer! That’s why we have been promoting a national campaign of prayer of the Rosary in the Public Square for America. Can human efforts be relied on to save our nation? You, of all people, know the answer to that question. Our nation needs Our Lady’s help, and by sending Her a white rose, you will be helping me reach our 15,000 Rosary Rally goal for this year—making it possible for an estimated 230,000 people to pray the Rosary on the streets of America! Can you imagine? It can happen. It must happen.
So please – today – let me send a white rose in your name, and make Our Lady smile, dry Her tears, and help spread Her message of prayer and conversion in our beloved land.

I remain your friend,
In Jesus and Mary,

Doobie SistersThinking about starting a company? You may want to consider one in the marijuana biz. Women are ruling this industry all over the U.S. The Atlantic pointed out that the legal marijuana could be the first billion dollar industry not ruled by men. According to Marijuana Business Daily, women make up about 36 percent of executives in the legal-marijuana industry. That number is more like 22 percent in most other industries. “It’s a new chance for many women who have been in the corporate world who couldn’t get to the next level,” Becca Foster, an independent consultant with Healthy Headie, an in-home cannabis shop, told The Atlantic. Plus, we have a feeling a job in this field would make you super popular.Back To BasicsWhat do you do when you are a pro tennis player who gets suspended from your sport? Go to Harvard Business School. Well that’s what Maria Sharapova is doing, at least for two weeks. She even Tweeted a picture of herself on campus. According to the Associated Press, Sharapova will participate in a two-week program. Her agent, Max Eisenbud, said that the program involves two classes on campus. In the spring the tennis champ was banned by the International Tennis federation after failing a drug test.Chips For Everyone!It’s been a rough year for Chipotle but things could be turning around especially for those of us who are on a first name basis with most of the staff there. Basically they are launching a rewards program called “Chiptopia “ (which is coincidentally what I plan to name my first born.) It will start July 1 and go through the summer. This program differs a little from other loyalty programs in that customers will be rewarded for making multiple trips to the restaurant per week. So since I go there in any day that ends in Y (except for Tuesdays. That’s reserved for Sbarro’s) I should be eligible for some sort of gold card status or the cashier’s kidney or at the very least extra guac. Any of those would be great. With this and that whole pesky not sure if your burrito was going to give you dysentery thing, we should be all good.Levo Loves….That Barely Famous Season 2 is premiering on VH1 tonight!

Well FinallyRemember all that controversy surrounding this year’s Oscars since because there was no diversity whatsoever? Well, we’ve got some promising news. The Oscars have invited a record number of new members to vote in next year’s Academy Awards. Almost 700 people were invited, with a focus on women and ethnic minorities. If all these new members agreed to join male membership would drop from 75% to 73% and white membership would go from 92% to 89%. OK, so these aren’t exactly huge numbers but it is definitely something. Some of the notable people that have been invited? America Ferrera, Brie Larson, Idris Elba, Emma Watson, Sia and Tina Fey. #progress (Related: How Salma Hayak Brilliantly Exposed Hollywood’s Sexism Problem)Come On, Shaman!Life coaches are so 2015. If you want to get some guidance this year (from someone who is not your mentor) it is all about the shamans. A shaman is a person who has access to, and influence in, the world of good and evil spirits. They usually go into a trance like state during a ritual to get their healing powers going (always a good time.) And according to a new piece in Marie Claire shamans are the new chokers for millennials. Not really, but if you are feeling a little lost in your career or personal life and maybe therapy, exercise, that weird juice cleanse, shopping spree and staring at a Ryan gosling picture don’t just seem to do the trick, you may want to consider the shaman option. Vivian Diller, Ph.D., a psychologist in private practice in New York City, told MC, “Millennials are turned off by organized Western religion and are more open to religions based on Eastern philosophy. In a world that is so uncertain, there is still a desire for a sense of control, so some believe a spiritual leader holds potential answers.” Sounds good to me. Plus saying you are going to see your shaman just sounds cool. (Related: How To Boost Your Career Over the 4th Of July)Burn BookThe self-help we have all been waiting for is finally in the works. Lindsay Lohan is finally putting pen to paper (if she can find her pen.) “I am in the process of writing a book, and I am very excited to share my personal experiences in life and how to overcome obstacles,” Lohan, who turns 30 on July 2, told Vanity Fair. So if you can’t afford a shaman, you’ve still got Lilo’s advice book. “I hope that my words will connect with those who need some guidance when [or] if they are in a tough place.” The obstacles she is referring to may not be relatable to that many people as she was super famous by the age of 12, then became a drug addict, was arrested for shoplifting, drunk driving and did a few short stints in prison as a result but, you know, still a good beach read. “I can’t turn back time,” Lohan explained. “But if I could, I would have listened more to my mother and gone back to N.Y.C. earlier in life and chosen my friends more wisely.” Coulda, woulda, shoulda. As long as she still made Mean Girls in this other life, we’re happy.
