This is the weekend that Tekko comes to Pittsburgh. I’ve been to Tekko several times, but today, I meet my favorite voice actor. I’m super excited, and can’t wait to see him. So, my boyfriend, and I, met our favorite voice actors. Brandon McInnis who plays Gyutaru in Demon Slayer was so down to earth and amazing. I also met my favorite anime actor, J Michael Tatum from Black Butler. He was so sweet, and kind. I can’t believe that I got to meet him. It was a dream come true. I love Black Butler so much, and he made me appreciate it even more. There’s so much going on at Tekko 2023. There are so many vendors, and cool games too. You can really get in touch with your Anime side at this year’s Tekko. I can’t believe I’ve been having such a great time. Tekko is going on the rest of today, and tomorrow. So get your behind down here to David Lawrence Convention Center, in Pittsburgh. We’re here tonight, and Tekko doesn’t leave until tomorrow evening. Today has been like a day out of a dream. I was able to meet so many exciting people and it’s…

I was lucky enough to be able to talk one-on-one with America’s Top Psychic Medium Matt Fraser today. He’s so down to earth, and very sweet. He makes you feel like you’re family. He’s going to be in Pennsylvania, and I’ll be going to his live Event Saturday, August 12 at the Palace Theatre Greensburg, PA.   I’m so excited to see him in person. I have been doing online readings with him for a while now, but to see him in person will be a great experience. Tickets are available at: https://thepalacetheatre.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/events/a0S4v00000as002EAA If you don’t know who Matt Fraser is, take the chance to watch videos on YouTube. He’s so in depth, and really connects you with your loved ones. He’s connected me with my uncle twice. He’s told me things that only family knows. He’s got the touch and he knows how to use it. He told me in our interview that it can take up to a year to hear from someone or for the spirit to communicate fully. It could also be quicker depending on if the person knew they were passing. Once the spirit delivers the message they wanted to get across, he said the spirit will step away. But,…

I love PatPat, and now they have Mickey and Minnie themed clothes. This is excellent! My sister-in-law loves Mickey Mouse, and when she had the chance to get some of these outfits for her grandbaby, she couldn’t pass it up. She says the outfits are so soft and cuddly, and won’t hurt your little ones skin. They are so cute, I couldn’t believe how sweet the family outfits are. The Matching Stripes outfits would be great for the next big holiday. Could you imagine going to a cookout with matching outfits? You’d be the cool talk of the day. These outfits are so amazing, and you won’t be getting itchy all day, or night. The material is great. The material is thin, for this warm weather. It’s so nice to have a cool outfit to match the little ones. Check out the other outfits too. There’re shirts with your favorite ducks too. I love Donald Duck, and then Daisy is an added bonus. Your child will be the life of the party with these outfits. Donald Duck is so cute! Get the thin wear now before they are out of stock. This Summer is shaping up to be a hot…

Paws of War, an organization helping military members and veterans, has trained hundreds of dogs for veterans, many suffering with PTSD  NESCONSET, New York – (June 23, 2023) – June 27th is National PTSD Awareness Day, making it an ideal time to put the condition in the spotlight. According to the American Psychiatric Association, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects around 3.5% of the adult population yearly. They estimate that 1 in every 11 people will be diagnosed with it during their lifetime, with veterans suffering from PTSD at a much higher rate. There are various ways to cope with the condition, and one organization is helping do just that by pairing veterans with PTSD with service dogs, having given hundreds of trained dogs to veterans to date. “Veterans tend to suffer from PTSD at a significantly higher rate than the general population,” says Robert Misseri, co-founder of Paws of War. “This reminds us that freedom isn’t free. Many military members develop PTSD while on deployment and the effects come home with them. We are doing everything we can to help them through our many support programs. These veterans come home to a new war, this time the war is with PTSD.” Since being…
