— Holly Fisher (@HollyRFisher) April 09, 2014Oklahoma photographer Lora Scantling captured hundreds of thousands of hearts on social media when she shared her photo of three little girls who have been fighting to beat cancer.
From the Scantling Photography Facebook page:
on the left is 3 year old Rylie! she just beat stage 5 Wilms tumors ( a form of kidney cancer). a little shy at first but man once she opened up she was a little goofball with the biggest smile!
in the middle we have 6 year old Rheann! she is currently battling Muciod Spindle Sarcoma of the brain. she is the giggliest little cutie i have ever met! so full of smiles and ready to have her picture taken as soon as she walked in the door!
on the right we have 4 year old Ainsley (Pre-cursor B Acute Lymphligastic Leukemia) what a sweet little doll is she?! she knew exactly how to work the camera! and she has some beautiful eyes!!!
Another photo from the session was captioned “You see my sister, although we do not share the same blood we share a bond that will last a lifetime!”

Scantling called the photo shoot, in which she teamed up with Goodger Photography, “the most special session” she’s ever done. “They knew they had a special connection to each other and it was amazing to watch them interact and light up knowing that there are other children out there going through the same thing.”
One of the photos was shared on Facebook by Oklahoma’s News 9 and has more than half a million likes.

President Obama heads to Texas today for fundraisers (naturally) and a meeting in Dallas to discuss “growing immigration issues at the border.” According to the White House, Obama’s stop in Texas will not include a visit to the border to see the crisis firsthand.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz isn’t happy about it:

Update:
A suggestion was offered to Sen. Cruz:

Proponents of universal federal preschool are uniting behind the Strong Start for America’s Children Act, cosponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif). The legislation would create a federal preschool program for all four-year-old children from low- to moderate-income families in the country.
Heritage estimates the program would cost federal taxpayers $26.8 billion over the first five years, not taking into account state matching funds. Are the billions worth it for the results? After all, Head Start impact studies have shown “little or no net lasting benefit to federal pre-K.”
That hasn’t stopped teachers and parents from using children as props to argue for yet another expensive early learning experiment.

http://twitter.com/#!/WK_Kellogg_Fdn/status/427900238788317184We’re guessing the president will bring up #StrongStart in Tuesday’s address — after all, it’s “a moldy oldie of the progressive left” that seems immune to studies showing it doesn’t work.

Sometimes you just have to take a second for a little “me time.”
I recently took an intensive six-week mediation course with psychic and energy healer Kris Cahill to learn how to soothe my anxiety issues.
Throughout her Meditation 1 class, students learn how to “become centered and focused, feel more relaxed while also feeling more energized, learn about being in present time.” Basically, she teaches you how to deal with anxiety and how to prevent bad thoughts from taking over your mind.
Here’s what I learned:
This way you’ll be able to take in ~new energy~ evenly.
Now close your eyes, and you’re ready to get into your meditation.
This is called your “grounding cord,” and it’s what connects you to the Earth and new energy. Slowly picture it widening into your entire seat. Your grounding cord can look like anything, as long as it’s a color or pattern that comforts you or makes you feel serene. There’s no right or wrong way it should look.
The grounding cord is basically your highway for exchanging bad energy for good energy. Imagine it bringing you new energy from the Earth and simultaneously pushing out your old energy.
By entering the “center of your head,” you should picture waving good-bye to all your “bad energy,” whether it be relationship problems, work, or financial issues.
Your aura is a field of energy around your entire body. Picture your aura as a protective bubble around you that starts 1 to 3 feet away from your body. You might naturally see a color take over your aura, and it can mean anything from security to self-love. There’s not really any bad color.
Your aura tends to take on energy from others, whether it be their worries or even happiness. By pushing out all your old energy, you’re cleansing and refreshing your own aura.
This way, you’ll feel renewed with fresh energy, and hopefully all your anxiety and worry have been replaced with a serene feeling of relaxation.
