* * * When Justice Fails the Children: Kristy's Story * * *

I wanted to let you all know about a
heart-wrenching story that my dear friend Debra
Sanders has written about one of the children she
used to work with.

http://www.debrasanders.blogspot.com

This story needs to be heard. Debra is most
interested in reaching Rosie O’Donnell, for
several reasons. She is asking those touched by
Kristy’s story to help her in this way: please go
to Rosie.com and sign up for free. If you can
write a one-liner about Debra and her blog, it
would be one step closer to attracting someone
who has the financial resources to fund an
investigation and the wider recognition of this
story and others like it, to save the children
before it is too late.

The song I co-wrote called Children are the Light
is very appropos to this particular case, and if
anyone is interested in hearing the mp3, please
write to me and I’ll send you a copy.

Children Are the Light!

* * * Quote of the Week * * *

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of
life's coming attractions. - Albert Einstein,
1879-1955, German-born American Physicist


When we were in the cab going back to the airport
in Rome a couple of weeks back, we started
talking the driver. My husband speaks a bit of
Italian so I was mostly zoning out. Plus, it was
3am! But the conversation turned to music, and
my ears perked up. Between the cab driver’s
broken English and my paltry Italian, I found out
that his hobby was writing poetry and lyrics. He
told me that his dream was to have music put to
his words before he died. I said, "Dude, send me
the lyrics, I'll write you music, no problem!!"
He said that he had envisioned a “We are the
World” type of feeling. So, I gave him my card,
and told him to email me the lyrics. Well, about
a week ago, I got the email, and was quite
touched by his words! So, I wrote a song and put
together a quick demo on Garage Band. I’d love to
share it with you all, even though it’s just a
rough mix, so email me at Sally@theDILRules.com
if you’re interested and I’ll send you an mp3. The lyrics
are very touching and it’s about peace and saving
children. Right up my alley! I’m going to feature them as
below so that you can get an idea. It was a fun
collaborative effort, and especially apropos as
I’ve also been wrapping up my 2nd book this
week: The Collaborator Rules: 101 Surefire Ways
to Manage (and Stay Friends with) Your Co-Author!
Look for a release date sometime around February
09.

CHILDREN ARE THE LIGHT
lyrics by Sergio Provenzano
music by Sally Shields
©2008 Safflower Music/BMI

There's a sound that I can hear
very close, so very near
Voices, voices, asking for help

It's the sound we know so well
stories, from so many different places
many children, different faces

So together why don't we try
to save those souls before they die?

CHORUS ONE:

Let's encourage all those children
Give them trust within themselves
Show them love and understanding
for the things they do so well!

VERSE TWO:

First a roof where they have shelter
and food so they can grow
Give them peace, and joy of living

This is what the world should show
Let's forget the different colors
and respect the God of others

We must cure the ills and wrongs
so they can finally sing their songs

CHORUS TWO:

No more wars and no more weapons
only peace can cure the sin
In this world that we all treasure
It's the only way to win

Oh there's a sound that I can hear
So very close so very near
The children laughing all around us
Now that peace has finally found us!

RELEASE:

What a beauty, what a sight
Let's forget whose wrong or right
In this world that we all treasure
Children are the light!

Note: Anyone interested in hearing the music,
please send me an email at sally@theDILRules.com
and I’ll get you an mp3!
