7 Tips for Charitable Giving During the Holiday Season

Posted on December 6, 2016 by pinkeggmedia

Director of Individual & Planned Giving, Susan G. Komen San Diego

It’s that time of year again where the old adage holds true – it’s better to give than receive. When we give, especially around the holidays, it makes us feel fulfilled – like we have made a small difference in someone’s life. According to Charity Navigator, “31 percent of all annual giving occurs in the month of December and 12 percent of that annual giving occurs on the last three days of the year!”

Navigating the waters of charitable giving can seem difficult with the hustle and bustle of the season – what organization do I donate to; what should I give; and will I get a tax receipt? So, in the spirit of giving, here are a few helpful tips to keep in mind when making a charitable donation during the holidays:

Give to legit charities– only donations to qualified charitable organizations are tax-deductible, this includes gifts of cash, stock, real property or cars. All gifts must be itemized and substantiated on your tax return so be sure to get a charitable receipt acknowledgement when you donate and keep your bank records, cancelled checks and credit card statements as a backup.
Do your homework– if you are unsure about the organization’s charitable status, check with Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org) or search the IRS website (www.irs.gov). Also, take some time to review the organization’s website and annual report to make certain your money is directly making an impact. At Susan G. Komen San Diego, we make every penny count. In fact, every dollar is earmarked to treating and curing breast cancer.
Get involved– make sure you feel connected to the organization you decide to donate to by volunteering, taking a tour of their offices or attending an event so you see firsthand how the organization is making a difference.
Small gifts can make a BIG difference– Just starting your career? It’s okay to start small. Try making a small cash donation or sign up for monthly giving. Monthly giving is a great way to try out a charity and see if it is a good fit. Each month the amount you designate will be automatically processed. It is a quick and meaningful way to help!
Explore Planned Gifts– This is one of the easiest ways to give without impacting your financial portfolio in your lifetime. By including an organization in your Will or Living Trust, you are leaving a legacy of hope without affecting your cash flow today. You can include a simple bequest with a stated amount or a more detailed bequest with a percentage of your estate. You can also make the charitable organization the named beneficiary of your life insurance or give a portion of your retirement assets. Be sure to let the organization know you have included them in your estate plans so you can be thanked properly in your lifetime.
Did you know? – If you are age 70 ½ or older you can take advantage of your Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA? In legislation at the end of 2015, Congress made the QCD option permanent. You can transfer gifts up to $100,000 annually directly from your IRA to a qualified charitable organization. This type of gift can make an immediate impact for an organization and for you too as no tax is generated on the minimum distribution you are required to take.
There are so many ways to give – Gifts of outright cash, appreciated assets like stocks, or real property are always a great option to assist a charitable organization and a benefit you come tax time. Each type of gift provides charitable tax deductions and/or the alleviation of the payment of taxable gains on the appreciated value of the stocks or real property. For more detailed information on tax benefits of charitable giving or estate planning, please seek the assistance of your financial professional or tax accountant.

On behalf of Susan G. Komen San Diego, I would like to acknowledge each and every one of our generous donors who have supported us in 2016. Thank you for giving the gift of hope. We wish you and your family a very happy holiday season and a prosperous new year!

Manchester by the Sea – Film Review

Posted on December 2, 2016 by Melissa Sanchez

Everyone faces grief differently. There is no guidebook for how one should feel when they lose someone important to them. In Manchester by the Sea, writer and director Kenneth Lonergan shows the realities of dealing with grief and heartbreak, from the decisions one faces when laying someone to rest to the pervasive memories of the past with that person. Life is never easy and we rarely know when life is throwing us a curveball or a perfect set of aces, these matters are out of our hands as human beings, but it is how we deal with what life hands us that shapes us as people. Lonergan explores these nuances of life and death and masterfully shapes them, paired with the tremendous acting performances in this film, I seean Oscar contender.

Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) is a lowly, quiet janitor living in Boston; his life is simple and monotonous, yet he doesn’t seem hampered by it at all. When his older brother passes away, Joe (Kyle Chandler) he rushes back to his hometown of Manchester, where he soon finds out that his brother has granted him to be the sole guardian of his teenage son Patrick (Lucas Hedges). Lee is dumbfounded, confused, and doesn’t really understand why he was left to oversee him. Patrick’s mother Elise (Gretchen Mol) is nowhere to be found and Lee is all Patrick has left as a parental figure.

Throughout the film, we are given flashbacks into their lives together as brothers, and it is clear that Lee and Patrick had a strong bond. Joe would take them out on his fishing trawler and the three of them would head out to the sea, catch fish, talk about life, and laugh together. Through these memories, we can gather that Lee was not only close to his brother, but had a cohesive, almost brother-like bond with his nephew. Joe leaves the boat to his son, and he is adamant besides the motor not working that he keeps the boat running, in a way, it is his way of reconnecting with his father and he is afraid to lose it. Lee wants to get rid of it, but never fully can act on it because his most distinct memories were shaped on his brother’s boat.

Not only must Lee face raising a teenage boy of which he knows nothing about doing, he allows him to have girls over and doesn’t provide many restrictions, but he must also deal with the fact that his ex-wife Randi (Michelle Williams) also lives in town. From his flashbacks, we see that they had a loving life together, filled with some disarray, but nothing out of the ordinary and in the present time that no longer exists. He can barely look at her and doesn’t know what to say around her. With all the misfortunes that Lee has faced, the town of Manchester brings him many bad memories and constant reminders of the life he used to lead.

Affleck carried the film from beginning to end, and delivered a performance like no other he has given before. It was subtle, yet filled with such intensity, that one could feel every ounce of his depth without him saying anything. The unknowing of what life had in store for him could be read on his face. Lee appears broken and detached from all that is and has been his life. Affleck seemed to understand that and took all those distinct emotions and placed them into his character. I am sure that he will garner awards and accolades for his performance, this could be the one that sets him apart from other contenders.

Newcomer Hedges was astonishing as Patrick, not only do we feel moments of sadness for him, but we also get a sense of annoyance as he is just a teenage boy doing teenager-like things. He doesn’t completely grasp everything that is going on around him and we rarely see him break down and shrill for his father, instead we see that he is just trying to get on with his life. Hedges holds his own against Affleck and at times stole many of the scenes. The two played off each other perfectly.

The film not only makes you feel moments of sadness and sorrow, but I found myself laughing through a lot of it. I felt like I was on a rollercoaster of emotions, crying one minute and wiping away my tears and laughing the next. There are so few films, that can pull such emotions out of the viewer. Life isn’t always sad, nor is it always funny, but Lonergan is able to weave the dynamics of both and create a film that is thought provoking and unique. I have my own inner meter of how I know a film is good in my eyes, and it is when days go by and I cannot stop thinking about it, and that’s how I felt with this film. The director along with the entire ensemble cast make this movie work and it is one that should not be missed.

Cirque du Soleil’s – LUZIA – U.S. Premiere

Posted on November 20, 2016 by Ana Pines

If you’re looking for a magical night out, go no further than Cirque du Soleil’s 17^th show presented under the Big Top, LUZIA. It’s its 38^th original production since 1984, they have performed in more than 400 cities on six continents. The massive white-and-gold Big Top can be seen from the highway at San Francisco’s AT&T park. You’ll not only be taken to another world but you’ll be experiencing it first, the Bay Area is its U.S. premiere.

The dreamlike experience takes you through the beauty and culture of Mexico. Follow the annual migration of the monarch butterfly and enter the Mayan gateway to the afterlife. You’ll encounter a jaguar, hummingbirds and a call to Cháak, the Mayan god of rain. That call brings about a beautiful rainfall on stage in which images are projected on. The audience was in awe as the pools of water appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The effects summoning the meeting of the sun and moon mingled with the exceptional acrobatic skill that is expected of Cirque Du Soleil, created a transformational experience.

A team of more than 60 men and women worked on raising the massive tent space utilizing more than 100 supporting poles with seating for up to 2,600 people over the course of 8 days. The 2,000 tons of equipment is transported via 65 trailer trucks. The performances are not the only thing you’ll be admiring on your night out.

Into the Beautiful North at Central Works

Posted on November 5, 2016 by Ana Pines

Photo by J. Norrena

Central Works’ closes its 2016 season with new play, “Into the Beautiful North“, written by nationally known playwright Karen Zacarías and based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize finalist Luis Alberto Urrea. The script is inspired by the classic Hollywood western “The Magnificent Seven,” which was adapted from Kurosawa’s, “The Seven Samurai”. With the multitude of theatre choices in the Bay Area it’s hard to find one that illustrates the life of Latinos. This one fills that void, at least for a short term.

The main character, Nayeli (Samanta Yunuen Cubias) and friend/boss Tacho (Rudy Guerrero) are harassed by a pair of drug dealers at their work, “La Mano Callida”. A cheeky name referencing the stereotype that all gay men have limp wrists. When Nayeli tells her aunt Irma (Leticia Duarte) who’s running for Mayor of the incident, it dawns on her what needs to be done. They need to go to United States to find Seven Magnificent Mexican Men to bring back and help defend the land. All the local men have gone to the United States to find work including Nayeli’s father who she aims to find first.

The journey begins with Nayali, Tacho and her best friend Vampi (Kitty Torres). There’s a lot of humor in the play without shying away from an honest look at the outside politics that are a detriment to the peaceful life the characters could have if they didn’t exist. The corrupt police force, border patrol cover-ups, sexism, homophobism, and internalized racism. It’s also a coming of age story as Nayali and Vampi go through the angst of teenage hood. They not only find the men they’re looking for but their strength. They realize they don’t have to define themselves by their past or current situations. Nayali finds out her dad is not who she thought he was and Vampi is a recent orphan who feels she’s alone in the world leading her to cynicsm.

A poignant part in the storytelling is the pointed out fact that immigration is often out of desperate necessity. As they search for these Seven Magnificent Mexican Men we hear little tidbits of what the men they end up auditioning want in life and why they left. They just want to be able to make a living, be with their family, and maybe some fishing. In other words, they just want to be safe and have options. Leaving your home is not always a desirable choice. Unfortunately, undocumented immigrants are vilified for trying to survive.

The theatre did an excellent job in working with such a small space. The audience seating covered three sides of the room. The stage direction allowed them to make a connection with each side and the actors didn’t shy away from making eye contact with audience members. It was an interesting experience and worked extremely well. The actors were excellent and although there was a stumble here and there, to be that close-up to the audience and still remain in character is impressive. You have time to catch this wonderful show as it has been EXTENDED Through Nov 20!

Canyon dig it! – Los Penasquitos Canyon Reserve

Posted on October 31, 2016 by Ana Pines

It might not be Yosemite, but Los Penasquitos Canyon Reserve in San Diego has plenty of beautiful trails to explore. One of the best ways to see this 4,000 acre suburban wilderness is on a moderate 7-mile (round-trip) mountain bike ride.

The well-marked, dog-friendly, multi-use hardpacked trail can be taken from the reserve entrance. There aren’t many elevation changes so it’s great for a leisurely walk or for beginner mountain bikers like us.

One of the best rewards of the trail is the waterfall cascading through the volcanic rocks about 3 miles out. Well, to be accurate it’s more of a stream than a waterfall. But we loved soaking our feet in the cold water.

Things to remember before heading out; bring plenty of water and sunblock, it is hot out there and most of the trail is not shaded. A 20 minute drive from Hillcrest makes it a great choice for a quick getaway from it all.

Great Hike or Bike!

*The scenery of the canyon includes:

a waterfall cascading through volcanic rock;
a streamside forest of giant California live oaks;
groves of majestic sycamore trees;
a year-round stream populated by Pacific tree frogs, crayfish and largemouth bass;
a freshwater marsh hosting a variety of aquatic birds including great blue herons, egrets, mallard ducks and more; mule deer, bobcat, coyote and raccoon are just a few of the mammals that can be observed throughout the Preserve.

The Art of the Brick

Posted on October 23, 2016 by Ana Pines

If you’ve ever played with Legos you’ll remember the feeling of accomplishment when your imagination came to life in your hands. In time, you outgrew the brightly colored block toys unless you’re like Nathan Sawaya. After years of creating with Legos as a hobby, he quit his corporate lawyer job to become a full-time Lego artist. This fascination of creating with Legos on a bigger scale has made him renowned around the world. At his current traveling show, The Art of the Brick, you can get up close with his work.

It’s the largest display of Lego work featuring over 120 creations and people are raving about it. You’ll experience famous works re-imagined, original work from Sawaya’s psyche and a collaboration with photographer Dean West, in which one focus in each photo is made of Legos. Can you tell which one from afar?

“The museum exhibition is accessible because it engages the child in all of us while simultaneously illuminating sophisticated and complex concepts.”

It’s family friendly and you can touch two pieces at the end before entering the gift shop. There are also slight variations from city to city, “Be Different,” which represents fish swimming in the same direction except for one was created exclusively for the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, WA.

The most impressive display is the dedicated gallery to a “dinosaur fossil” that took 80,020 pieces. He doesn’t altar the basic pieces to fit or change the colors that the blocks are originally offered in.

The work up close is clunky and hard to decipher but once you take a step back the magic happens. It’s not so much about sophistication but rather creativity. It’ll teach you to look at things different like Sawaya did. You didn’t just have to follow the instructions on the box.

It’s a great way to educate and inspire kids and adults alike. You realize that you don’t always have to outgrow the things you enjoyed in your youth. You never know what will happen. You could end up with your own exhibition.

Has it been to your city?

American Tumbleweeds – Book Review

Posted on October 14, 2016 by Ana Pines

American Tumbleweeds by Marta Elva tells the story of the Ramirez family who reside in El Paso, Texas during the 1960’s. They split time between Texas and their patria, Juarez, Mexico. The story revolves around the coming of age of Inez, the border towns, and how adult decisions influence children. That’s the simplified way to describe the book, as it’s hard to encapsulate all the intricacies that are involved in growing up bi-cultural and in Inez’s case, empathetic.

The family dynamic is changed when the father Ramón goes to jail. We see how his wife Katalina and daughter Inez deal with their emotions in the situation and how they got where they are. Elva did a great job of including how outside ignorance can rob the world of brilliant minds and ruin tender hearts by stripping them of opportunities and belittling them based on their race, gender and/or culture. It also exemplifies the need to be defined that comes from outsiders and some of the external and internal struggles that causes.

The mom Katalina has never attended University but loves books. She’s a thinker and a doer. She works hard in and out of the home to her mother-in-law’s dismay. Katalina’s life is heavily directed by her gender. She was kicked out of her home by her father after staying out late one-time. This “unlady” like behavior forces her into marriage and leads to the United States. Her love of knowledge would have you thinking she could excel beyond what’s expected of her. Unfortunately, when she tries to learn English she gets disillusioned when she is ridiculed for having an accent.

“After attending several classes, I decided my free time was better spent with my children. It didn’t help when people laugh at my accent. How come people don’t make fun of French or British accents? Now, I speak English only if it’s an emergency”
~Katalina

On the other hand, Ramón is educated and is known around town for his intelligence. However, this intelligence is not welcomed in the United States. When they hear his accent and see his skin he’s immediately dismissed and can only find menial jobs. This leads him to the life of crime that eventually turns his family upside down. His mother Amalia doesn’t think he’s the sole person to blame for his choices.

“Yet the land of opportunity, like most fraternities in the world, carefully selects the recipients of its rewards. Perhaps JFK would have changed this, but even he paid a price for his aspiration.”
~Ramon

The significance of these moments, the dual culture, racism, and sexism boil down to Inez and how she navigates herself from childhood to teenager. She was raised partially by her father’s mother in Juarez until she was able to attend school in the United States. This causes another riff as she sees her role to Inez as more mother than grandmother. Inez is an observer who absorbs all her experiences with ease without realizing how they’re changing her. The micro-aggressions directed towards her race, gender, and believed vulnerability leaves her with questions she’s still not sure how to deal with. For instance, she’s too scared to tell her teacher how her name is supposed to be pronounced. In a small but significant moment in the book we see that she realizes that she can also be a cause of this type of hurt, “I remember the time my friends Linda and Sylvia asked Beverly, one of the Negro girls at school, if we could touch her hair. Beverly looked sad when we acted like we were touching something strange. I promise never, ever to ask to touch anyone’s hair again.”

“What’s creepy is men gawking at my body, saying stupid things. I don’t even know what they’re talking about”.
~Inez

The themes in the book are based in the 1960’s but could easily be told today. The complexities that are added to Inez’s life due to her family’s decisions come at a cost. She’s forced to grow up fast but has the freedom to dream beyond her small town upbringing; in the United States feminism is blooming. After meeting Inez you’ll want to know where life took her. Did she get disillusioned, empowered, or end up craving the simple life like she experienced in Juarez, Mexico. The beauty of how Elva tells the story is that you’ll find yourself relating to Inez and at the same time learning about an experience that is so often ignored yet, extremley vital to the history of the United States.

Nerium International Age-Defying Night Cream

Posted on October 9, 2016 by Ana Pines

I’m not good when it comes to routine although my mom keeps reminding me that at my age I NEED to have one to keep the wrinkles away. So when my friend Said Cruz asked me to try out Nerium International Age-Defying night cream I was a little bit hesitant but, Mom. The truth is my avoidance is the result of skin that often has breakouts and irritation to products after awhile. However, Said was so enthusiastic about the product that I decided to try it. He wasn’t just selling the product, he truly believed in it after experiencing it himself. It promised to be ideal for all skin types.

I thought the product had an interesting smell. It doesn’t have a strong perfume like smell like other products but it certainly is noticeable which is not my favorite part of the product. What I did like was the smoothness in which it applies to your skin. You only need 4-5 pumps to cover your entire face and neck. The first week I saw some change. My pores were smaller and my face looked a little bit smoother.

Day 1

Day 5

I didn’t see a major change until Day 10. It’s definitely a product you have to stick too. I missed two days during travel and ended up breaking out. I was under a more stressful situation so it’s not necessarily the product that caused it. However, once I started up again my skin went back to looking smoother.

Day 10

Day 30

I thought the product worked well with my skin. You can see less discoloration and smaller pores throughout. I would recommend this product to someone that is good with routine. The product promises to have ultimate results after 90 days. I only used it for 30 and you can see a difference, imagine after the full 90. If you have any questions, you can contact Said Cruz. He won’t push the product on you like other sales people. He truly wants you to have better looking skin!

Chihuly Garden and Glass – Seattle, Washington

Posted on October 5, 2016 by Ana Pines

Visiting Seattle, Washington on limited time? You can easily visit two locations in one day in addition to the infamous Space Needle. One of those is the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibition that opened in 2012. For frequent travelers the sculptures will immediately look familiar as Dale Chihuly’s artwork is dispersed throughout the world in small to large venues. This exhibit is exclusively dedicated to his work.

There are eight galleries to go through and each one provides its own unique awe. You’ll learn the story of his development into an artist and the process of his work and collaborations. One room contains drawings that he created so others could produce the final pieces for him after a car accident left him blinded in his left eye in 1976. In 1979, a second incident left him with a dislocated right shoulder.

“If I had not been a sculptor or an artist, I would love to have been a film director or an architect.” ~Dale Chihuly

The centerpiece of the exhibition is a Glasshouse that takes up a 4,500 square foot space and is 40-ft tall. You get a unique view of the Space Needle as a backdrop to the 100-foot long sculpture in a color palette of reds, oranges, yellows and amber. The colors pop in front of the frequent gloomy skies.

The exhibit provides photographers the opportunity to find new and interesting ways to present the work and make it their own. There are opportunities to work with close-ups, reflections, light and dark backgrounds, and juxtaposing the sky with the artwork and garden flowers.

The Glasshouse contains an expansive installation made of several individual elements making it his largest collection of suspended sculptures. After, enter my favorite and the most peaceful area, the garden. The works are contrasted with trees, plants and flowers. The centerpiece is called, The Sun, providing an explosion of yellow and orange.

Right before exiting to the gift shop where you can also purchase original work, you’ll find a theater with short videos showing Chihuly creating, interviewing, and setting up installations and exhibitions. If you bring your headphones you can also tune in to a self-guided tour on your phone. Unfortunately, portable audio guides are not available for those that don’t. The exhibit is mesmerizing nonetheless.

Chihuly Garden and Glass is located at 305 Harrison Street, Seattle, WA 98109. Tickets range from $14 to $22. Check their website for updates in schedule. https://www.chihulygardenandglass.com
