Ascending: rising or increasing to higher levels, values, or degrees
Butterflies: The change from caterpillar though to the chrysalis and emergence as a butterfly is the greatest change in the animal world. It symbolises significant change in the course of one’s life, personality or way of thinking.
Putting them together brings us on an upwards journey of change and transformation, isn't that what we all strive for?
As you all already know I am considered 'The Official #TwitterPartyDJ' because I like to spin virtual tunes during twitter parties. I have also hosted quite a few twitter parties and greatly enjoy them whether I am hosting or attending, I find them fun, fast-paced and informative!
And this time around the party is for a brand doing BIG things for the littlest of our society, preemies! Babies that spend that their first waking hours in the neonatal intensive care unit. During this party we are going to learn how a simple donation will not only help to save babies lives in the intensive care unit, but how that same donation can also help support Susan G. Komen for the Cure! One simple, generous gift from you can save literally thousands of lives worldwide. This will also be a bi-lingual party conducted in English and Spanish!
Helping Hands Milk Bank is operated by Prolacta Bioscience, they collect excess breast milk to help save the lives of babies who are in the neonatal intensive care unit. Excess breast milk is used to make nutritional products from 100% human milk which has a significant impact on the lives of the infants and their families. They also make the donation work harder, for every ounce of donated qualified breast milk collected by Helping Hands Milk Bank $1 will be contributed to Susan G. Komen for the Cure in support of Breast Cancer Research.
