12 Reasons Why Alyssa Milano is the BEST Role Model for all of us!
1. Alyssa shows inner beauty is just as important as outer beauty.
Alyssa is one of the most gorgeous women on the planet inside and out and she shows that having a beautiful heart, compassion, a good sense of humor and love and respect for yourself and everyone makes you just as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. She shows that being a good human being makes you one goregeous person.
2. She has a deep love and passion for philantropy and helping to better our world.
Anyone who helps to make our world a better place is an automatic role model in my eyes and heart and Alyssa shows that no matter who you are, how much money you have there is always something you can do to help someone or an animal in need and help make our and world better.
3. Her favorite word is compassion.
What else is there to say, her heart is just so big and beautiful and full of love.
4. She proves women can love sports just as much as men and can show it through her gorgeous fashion line Touch.
I love sports and I love Touch. Women are just as big of sports fans as Men are and Alyssa proves that it's ok to be that everyday. Her clothing line lets us show off our team colors and spirit and we don't have to wear pink anymore. This shows acceptance and respect and that is definetly role model material.
5. She proves women can do and be anything they dream.
Alyssa is a fashion designer, author, and she even wrote a new comic book called Hactivist. She proves everyday that women can accomplish all of their dreams if they put their minds to it.
6. She inpires everyone to keep going and never give up on their dreams.
This means more to me than anything. She gives me hope everyday and gives me the inspiration and motivation I need to keep going no matter how bad it gets. She puts a smile on my face when I need it most and she does that for so many people and that makes her an amazing role model to me and so many.
7. She is an Amazing Mother.
Enough said. Nurturing the next generation is a tough job but she does it well and shows how it should be done. This in and of itself makes her an amazing role model to women and mothers everywhere.
8. She proves that even women can be geeks too.
Like I said she wrote a new comic, she loves Twitter and technology and shows that women can love all of that just as much as men can.
9. She shows that everyone is beautiful just the way they are.
This is truly meaningful to so many especially to us girls. She shows you don't need to change yourself and you don't need to be pencil thin to be beautiful everyone is beautiful in their own way and she emphasizes that daily. You just need to be healthy and be you no matter what.
10. She shows and inspires everyone how to get involved and better our world.
She shows how easy it is to help change our world for the better. She inspires people to get involved and help everyday and she tells and shows us how.
11. She genuinely cares for everyone and animals.
Some people just seem to care but Alyssa genuinely does care for all of us and she shows it through her tweets everyday. She accepts us into her twitter family/community no matter who we are or where we come from and when you need prayers or need to be uplifted she always helps and makes it seem like everything will be ok and I love her so much for that.
12. She is not just a celebrity, she is a beautiful woman who shows what a true good role model is!
Alyssa truly embodies everything a good role model is and should be. We should all look up to her we would make our world a more beautiful and better place if we do. Alyssa will always be my role model and hero and I hope that my dream comes to true to meet her someday. It would truly mean so much to me.
These are the 12 reasons I came up with. If I come up with anymore I will add them. We need more people like Alyssa in our world.

A Charmed Reboot... Not Sure That's Such A Good Idea.
Charmed was and still is an amazing show. The reruns still air on Lifetime and TNT and they already want a reboot. That's all they seem to be doing lately is reboots of classic TV shows and it is rare that reboot is actually successful. It is hard to imagine an original as something new when you love the original and original actors so much. Alyssa said that "Charmed fans are the best fans on the planet and the most loyal fans on the planet." That made me smile so big and it makes me feel that I am not sure that a reboot could have that same effect when all of us are and always will be dedicated to the original show and the original actors like Alyssa.
Charmed means a lot to me. It shows how strong women can be and that nothing should stop us from achieving our goals and dreams. It shows that no matter who you are or what you do or anything that you are still meant to be loved and should be loved. It shows great morals and values of family, sisterhood, teamwork, strength, and hope. It is a great show for all women to see and you always feel amazing from watching it. I am not sure a reboot could provide that same thing especially not without Alyssa, Holly, Shannen, and Rose. Also, it is too soon for a reboot, a reunion or movie maybe but a reboot, it is too soon for that and even Alyssa says so. Here is the link to what Yahoo TV says about it and how even Alyssa and Rose say it is not a good idea: http://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/charmed--reboot-is-a-bad-idea--say-the-stars-of--charmed--231806433.html
What do you think about this Charmed Reboot? If you read this and what to leave your opinion feel free to do so.
Another thing I want to talk about is just last night I saw this shameful article saying that Alyssa was being rude to a contestant at the Project Runway All Stars party she was at last week in NY. I was so mad when I read that and I never believed it for a second. Alyssa even said that it was "beyond" bs and I always knew it was. It maddens and saddens me that people have to do these sorts of things just to have a story to share. Alyssa is the sweetest, most beautiful inside and out, down to earth, compassionate, and loving woman on this planet. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body and would never be rude to anyone and it makes me mad that people say that kind of stuff about her. She is my hero, idol, and biggest inspiration in life and I will always stand by her no matter what. I love Alyssa for who she is and what she does to help people, animals, and our beautiful planet everyday she gives me hope and makes me believe that there really is still good in this world and that there is hope for humanity still. I am always proud to be part of Alyssa's Army!
Anyway those are my thoughts for now so until next time...

Another Season Over But A New One Comes Next Year!
I realized I still have no clue what to do or how to do it with my life. I will always love writing and I will always have my dream to be a published author but my attention problems make that hard to accomplish but I will never give up just like I will never give up on my Braves or give up my dream to meet my hero Alyssa Milano one day. I know and believe it will all happen someday again I just need to be patient but it gets hard sometimes I even have doubts about my dreams and life sometimes but those quickly fade and I start believing again.
As for what to do right now, that is still to be determined and I wish some people could learn to have more respect for other teams and their fans it would have made this elimination a little easier to accept but that's the way it goes I guess.
Just know that I will always stay true to who I am and what I believe in and who and what I love. No matter how many times I get put down for it and made fun of and laughed at. I will always believe that my dreams will come true, I will always love Alyssa Milano and the Atlanta Braves and nothing and/or no one will ever change that.
~Peace and Love~

Just Some Things I've Been Meaning To Talk About
Hate. There is way too much of that in our world today. I am reminded of that every time I read comments about my favorite things/people. For example: I am a huge Atlanta Braves fan and couldn't be more proud and happy that they have finally made it to the NLDS again. Unfortunately, they lost the first game last night to the Dodgers. I was reading some comments last night on Instagram on the Braves account after we had lost the game and it blew my mind and infuriated me. It was nothing but hate comment after hate comment all towards the Braves, laughing at us, making fun of us, making fun of how we cheer on our team (The Chop). I know there is always going to be haters but this just seemed like it was beyond regular hating. Even comments on Facebook were hate-filled. I didn't understand and still don't how people can be so mean and they didn't even care, one comment even said so. I just couldn't get it out of my head all night after that. As for me though, I AM A BRAVES FAN AND WILL ALWAYS BE A BRAVES FAN NO MATTER WHAT!!!! Nothing anybody can say or do will ever change that.
I am who I am and everyone else is who they are and nobody should do or say anything to make anybody change who they are. We should accept our differences not hate and hurt each other because of them. I have had my fair share of hate but it will never change who I am and who and what I love. It's what makes me who I am. I will always be an Altanta Braves fan, I will always love baseball, I will always love Alyssa Milano and anybody who hates on an amazing and beautiful woman like Alyssa should be really ashamed of themselves. They are very few good role models in the world today and Alyssa is one of them and so is Lucy Hale another amazing woman who I admire. I will always love my friends and my fiance Rob.
Nobody should make you change who you are and stop making you love who and what you want to love. It's all part of who you are and what makes you special and unique. Embrace those qualities and don't make anyone make you feel bad for being YOU!
~Peace and Love~

Lately
I never thought anybody would do anything to help me make my dream come true. If I had had the money, I would have been there no questions asked but it was so last minute that I didn't have the money then so the great Alyssa's Army on Twitter tried to raise the money for me to go and meet Alyssa. Unfortunately, it was more expensive than any of us realized and we couldn't do it. So yeah I was sad I mean who wouldn't be that is one of my biggest dreams to meet my Hero and Idol Alyssa Milano and I am beyond grateful for everyone who tried to help I really am. I realize that it just wasn't the right time for my dream to come true but that doesn't mean it won't. I know it will. I dream about it so much and everyone tells me it will happen that it has to happen sometime. Alyssa means so much to me. She has made me feel like everything is going to be ok when I felt like it wasn't. She has made me smile and giggle when I felt I would never do that again. She has given me hope when I had lost it all. She's just amazing. She is like Wonder Woman or Super Woman to me. Her beautiful heart full of unconditional love and compassion is amazing to me. Nobody has ever made me feel the way she has and I am so glad that I have the connection to her that I have through Twitter. I would have never found any of the happiness that I did without it and her. Nothing and/or nobody is ever going to take that away from me no matter what. When I joined Twitter I did so to not be lonely anymore and to have a connection to Alyssa and also my ex BFF convinced me to join. I didn't join to cause drama or to hurt anyone or to get sucked into any drama. I don't want anything to do with drama. Twitter is a happy place for me and it will stay that way. I know who my true friends are now and I know I will never lose this amazing connection to my hero Alyssa Milano. Just because I found love with someone doesn't make me a bad person.
I have passions, dreams, and loves just like everyone else. It doesn't make me any less of person and nothing will deter me from pursuing those dreams and passions. I am who I am you can either accept me for it and be my friend or leave me alone and go your own way.
Here are some things I learned from my hard times lately:
1. Don't let anyone take away your happiness or make you feel like your dreams and loves and passions are stupid. It's what makes you who you are and if people make you feel that way you need to just ignore them and go be with your real friends.
2. Don't bottle things up. I do that a lot. I either shut down or explode when I do and it's not good. Write it down that's what I always had to do since I grew up as an only child I rarely had anyone to talk to about anything but now I do. I have the best Fiance and friends who I can talk to and they give really good advice and make me feel better even if it takes me a while to realize it. So Thank you to my fiance Rob, and BFF's Sarah, Ellen, Jen, Terry, Lisa, and Delphine.
3. Have really good role models and hero's and idols in your life like I do. They help make you who you are and inspire you everyday to do good things and make the world a better place. Alyssa Milano, Stana Katic, Lucy Hale, Dana Delany, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, and Carrie Underwood are just some of mine.
4. Don't dwell on things it just makes everything worse. Just ignore the people who make you feel bad. Focus on all the good in your life. Listen to music, write, read, draw, be creative, just do anything to distract your self and take your frustrations out on your pillow or something that can't be broken. Learned that lesson the hard way plenty of times.
5. Just be who you are if people can't accept you for who you are then get rid of them. There are people out there who will accept you for you are. You know yourself better than anyone.
Lastly, always follow your dreams. If there is one thing Alyssa has taught me is never give up on your dreams. They are your dreams because you made them your dreams. There is nothing stopping you from making your dreams come true sometimes it just takes longer than others but don't give up, always believe, and have the courage to pursue your dreams. I will never give up on my dreams. I know I will meet Alyssa one day and I know I will be a published author one day. One of my passions is writing as you can see and it is my dream to be published one day and I know I can do it. As Phoebe Halliwell said, " Everything happens for a reason".

Alyssa Milano's Mistresses Priemieres Tonight!
Here’s the promo for Mistresses!
‘
I just love that pic!
Lastly I want to say to Alyssa that I will always be here for you and supporting you no matter what. Alyssa’s Army and I will always be proud of you no matter what. Nobody has ever made me feel like you have made me feel before. You have given me hope and made me feel like everything is going to be ok when I felt it was not. You inspire me everyday to be a better person and to help the world when I can. I have been giving back since I was basically 5 years old no lie. In Elementary school every year I would do a funderaiser with my school called Jump Rope For Heart. It was so fun to me. I have done an MS walk and a Heart Walk back home in VA. I have done Meals on Wheels growing up and countless other fundraisers throughout my school days. Lately I have donated and spread the word when I can. You have given me a new apprecation for all of this and for continuing giving back. You have made me feel like I am worth it when so many times I felt otherwise. I can’t thank you enough Alyssa and I know someday my dream will come true and I will meet you. I believe it with all my heart and I have never believed in a dream so strong before. Good luck with Mistresses tonight and with Project Runway! You are always amazing and beautiful in my eyes and I love you! <3 nbsp="" p="">3>

My Thoughts On The Boston Tragedy and More.
Yesterday was a day just as horrific as the VA Tech masacre and a grim reminder of 9/11. I was in shock yet again and wondering why we keep hurting each other. I don’t understand it and I don’t think I ever will. My love, prayers, and thoughts go out to the people of Boston during this horrible time. I keep thinking that we need more love in this world and less hate. Hate gets us nowhere and only hurts people phyiscally and emotionally. We need to end the violence and bring in peace and love if not for our generations then for the generations to come. Tragedy dooes bring people together and brings out humanity in a good way, a way we need to have everyday from everybody. I felt so bad for my hero Alyssa Milano when she tweeted that after she put her son to bed she went to her room and cried her eyes out. She just wants peace, love, and compassion to reign through the whole world and so do I and people who immediately start blaming others need to think before they do so because that doesn’t help at all and neither does a certain group of people who are planning to picket funerals of the innocent people who died in the explosions. They have just as much hate in them as do the person or people who set off those explosions. We need more tolerance and respect and less prejudice, racism, sexism, and hate in general. We need more love and compassion and people like Alyssa Milano who are just trying to make a better, safer, and more loving world for us and her son. The least we can do is help her out and help the world heal and come together and bring love to others. Pass along a smile everyday you never know who is needing it. Donate money to charities to help those less fortunate. Hug the people you love and tell them you love them you never know when it will be your last chance to do so. With that I want to show you a quote that goes really well here:
That quote couldn’t be more true. I will always stand by Alyssa’s side and help her out whenever I can. This madness needs to stop!
By giving back you will know what it truly means and feels to be happy! That is a lesson that I thank Alyssa Milano for teaching me! I will always be proud to be a loyal fan and supporter of hers! <3 nbsp="" p=""> ~Peace and Love~

Some things I need to say
We as Alyssa Milano fans love and admire her so much so it makes me so mad and sad when I read of people hating on her and most recently a death hoax about her. This is not the first one either. I remember on the night Sunday's At Tiffany's premiered somebody did a death hoax about Alyssa and it made so mad and sad that it made me cry. I just don't understand these people. It is the lowest of the low to go and spread a hoax that this sweet, amazing, beautiful, and inspirational lady is dead. It hurts so many people and just gets under my skin. These people need to get a life and stop this crap. This latest one apparently happened on Friday but I never saw it anywhere I just found out about it through a post on Facebook. I always knew she was alive. I don't believe these hoaxes and neither should the rest of us. Here is the link to the story in case you want to read about it: http://en.mediamass.net/people/alyssa-milano/deathhoax.html
Alyssa doesn't deserve to be treated this way nobody does and it just makes me so mad that it happens. Alyssa is a wonderful, beautiful, compassionate, inspirational lady who is also a wonderful mother, wife, sister, daughter, cousin, and friend. She does all she can to make our beautiful world a better place and to the idiots who spew such hatred and wish death to her I have this to say: You should be ashamed of yourselves. You are not only hating on one of the sweetest most amazing ladies but you are hurting all who love her by spewing your hatred and it makes me so mad and sad. You are teaching people hate when the world has enough in it already we need more love and people like Alyssa who bring light and love and happiness to the world and she is a prime example of what it truly means to be a humanitarian and a reason why she is my hero. I hope that one day you people come to your senses and stop your nonense but you probably never will.
This last thing I need to say I have been holding my tongue on this for too long now and if I don't talk about it I will blow. I read stories about people doing stupid and bad things and a lot them happen in Florida where I live and I have a habit of reading the comments afterwards and some of those comments make me so mad . There are some seriously ignorant people out there. I was reading some comments a few days ago about how we should cut Florida off and let it float away from the United States and how stuff like that doesn't happen in blue states and it is not just Florida there are some seriously prejudice comments I have read in the past about the whole south and it just makes me so mad that people are that hateful and that stupid to think that everbody from Florida and the south from that matter are stupid, racist, and sometimes I read toothless stupid hillbillies. What is wrong with people? I am not stupid or racist and I am definetly not toothless. My IQ is 111 I took a test once and that is 1 point above average. You people are talking about just part of the people who live here and in the south but there is a whole other part like me who want love and peace and help people and love music and good food and sports just like the rest of you and I am tired of reading people bashing a whole state for some peoples stupid actions and sometimes a whole region too. You are no better than the stupid people who do stupid and horrible things when you say such hateful things. You are sterotyping and you are being prejudice and I just couldn't hold my tongue any longer and I apologize for this being so long.
~Peace and Love~

A Special Thank You to Alyssa Milano! (@Alyssa_Milano)
This past weekend was Super Bowl weekend and Alyssa went to the big game! As she was watching she tweeted this, " I'm so proud of @touchbyam. And to be at #SB47 and see ladies wearing the line is the best feeling ever. #grateful" That tweeted made me think and realize how grateful I am to Alyssa for making such a wonderful line of clothing for us female sports fan.
Football has been in my blood since the day I was born you could say. I was born on Super Bowl Sunday, January 31st, 1988 they day the Redskins beat the Broncos 42-10 to win the Super Bowl! My aunt is a huge Redskins fan she has been for a long time and of course the fandom got passed down to me. Me in my Redskins shirt when I was 2 or 3:
I am still a Redskins fan but now that I live in Jacksonville, FL I bleed Teal!!
Yes! That is one of my Touch tops I am wearing and that wore to the game!I also majorly love baseball! Since the days that my dad and I played baseball in our front yard, to going to the Richmond Braves games at the diamond and going to the Orioles/Blue Jays game back in 2006 when I was on my senior trip! Yes, Baseball has been in a my life a long time too! I am a huge Atlanta Braves fan and have several Touch Braves shirts!
My favorite one:
I also have a love for Soccer and college football! I played soccer when I was growing up: Yes I have a love for multiple sports as do many female sports fans and as does Alyssa herself! Touch has given the female fans a platform to be fans just like the guys and proudly fly our teams colors and wear such comfy and stylish clothes! We don't have to wear pink anymore and we don't have to wear mens clothes that don't fit our bodies. Thanks to my hero and idol Alyssa Milano we, the female sports fans have beautiful, comfortable, team colored clothing that fits our unique bodies and shows the world that the female sports fan does matter and we can be like all the other sports fans and share our love for the sports we so love so I just want to say a huge thank you to Alyssa on behalf of me and other female sports fans world wide for this amazing clothing line and for you in general. It is one of my biggest dreams that I get to meet one day Alyssa and show you my Touch and not just in pictures! You are truly amazing Alyssa and I love you and so do many others all of the world so Thank you! <3All of my Touch shirts, jacket, and hoodie! The one on top of the long sleeved one is my favorite Braves shirt that I am wearing in one of my pics above didn't realize it had fallen out of my hand when I had layed all the rest out sorry. I also have a Touch Braves bracelet that I wear all of the time and Touch Braves necklace! I love Touch and I just want to again Thank Alyssa for bringing her amazing clothing line into all of our lives! <3
~Peace and Love~
