Now You Know...

Anyone who has kept up with me or happens to know me personally - knows that I am all about the music and showing support.

I've got a treat for you with this one.

He's a hip kat who knows how to catch your attention with his beats, pull you into them and while he's got you there, he's not only gonna entertain you but lyrically stroke your cerebral with some original work. And most important - He's a local artist! Take a listen, like what you hear (you will, trust me.) and show your support. He's on Google Play, iTunes, Facebook and Twitter - and of course, he's bumpin, in my car. Check him out!

School's Out - Let The Games Begin - Rain Or Shine!!!!

Fairytale Town and the Sacramento Play Coalition have come together to present to you...

Pop Up Adventure Play Day

Admission is FREE

Date: TODAY
Time: 11am - 3pm

Place: Maple Neighborhood Center located at 3301 37th Avenue here in Sacramento. Future home of the Sacramento Adventure Playground.

The Pop-Up Adventure Playground is based on the concept of Adventure Playgrounds in Europe. After World War II, landscape and playground architects noticed that children spent more time playing in the war rubble than they did in structured playgrounds. They observed that children were more engaged in play in spaces they created themselves and thought that these non-traditional environments inspired imaginative, collaborate and thoughtful play. - Excerpt from fairytaletown.org

Grab up your little ones and come out for a memories making day!

This is NOT a "dress to impress" event, so put on the comfy gear and wear your closed toed shoes as things are going to be messy!

Also - they are in need of some recyclable materials, household items and (literally) nature's toys such as sticks, twigs and the likes. There is plenty more they could donated but to get the specifics, give Kathy Fleming a call at (916) 808-7060 to find out exactly what is needed. Your clean (and safe) items can also be brought on the day of the event.

Make It Do What It Do...

Have you ever considered or at least thought about having your own business, setting your own hours and being your own bossy boss????

What if I told you that you could do all of that and keep your safety net of the current job you have?

mmmhmmm... yup you can!

Being a partner with Uber (also known as an independent driver) gives you the flexibility to work when you want to work, meet a wide variety of interesting people and get paid for something you already know how to do - driving.

I didn't forget the ones who either don't have a safety net in place or they are the bold ones and want to cut the ropes and fly free. Yes Dorothy, you too can do this gig too!!!!

It's truly based on what you want from your Uber experience. Work a little, work a lot - it's all up to you!

There are other incentives from Uber that help you build your business. Such as (but not limited to) Partner Discounts on gas, auto maintenance, phone plans, personal health insurance and more. And did I mention that you will meet a wide variety of people?! Ohhhhhh and before I forget, Uber is International - so for my readers from another continent (Yes I see you out there, and thank you for visiting.) YOU TOO can become an Uber driver.

The BEST part...
If you find that this isn't for you. There's no pressure to continue doing something that makes you miserable. Just deactivate your account.

OK, so you're probably thinking...
What's the catch?!

Here it is. WHAT IS REQUIRED TO DRIVE WITH UBER?

You need to be at least 21 years old, have a clean driving record, and must pass a background check.
Your vehicle can't be older than 2006, be in great condition and has at least 4-doors. (Uber can help you get a leased car if you don't have a qualifying vehicle.)
You will need to either have an iPhone 4s (or newer) or an Android 2013 or newer. (No phone? Uber can help you with that too!)

Soooooo, wha'cha waitin for???? Make it do what it do, baby! (Click the links for more information.)
