Facebook Spotlight with Lori McBroom and Michaelle Madrid



Meet Lori McBroom and Michaelle Madrid, the faces behind the RRSMS Facebook page!



My name is Lori and I am 33 years old. I am in charge of the rock and roll saved my soul page on facebook. The group has inspired me to like different music and we inspired other people not to be bullied and I am lucky to be proud of this group 



Michaelle Madrid is a wife, mother, friend, reader and writer. She lives with her family in the dry heat of the Arizona desert. She received a B.A. in Communication with a minor in English from The University of New Mexico and spent ten years working in corporate America. She currently has a few works in progress and is co-writing with a self published author. Michaelle's Muses is a Facebook page she has just recently created and dedicated to all of her different writing; please follow along.

I joined rrsms because I love the way the group reaches out to help others. I am happy to work with an organization that allows me the flexibility to serve our followers online through the sounds of advice. Researching and writing for the column weekly has been a task I truly enjoy because I am able to reach outside of my usual family circle and hopefully encourage others.
Some of my favorite bands are Evanescence, Skillet, Third Day, Jars of Clay, Lifehouse, and No Doubt. Some of my favorite artists are Lauryn Hill, Adele, Gwen Stefani, Jeremy Camp, and Jennifer Knapp. My favorite album is The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. My favorite song from that album is Zion.

One of my favorite concerts was when I saw the Newsboys. At least two of the four times I saw them, the drummer had an amazing setup where the platform he was playing on raised up and then started spinning as he was playing. 

If I could go on tour with one band for a month, it would be Third Day. They are amazing in concert, you definitely experience God's presence at their concerts, and the love they have to reach others is truly inspiring.

Drug Use in High School and College

Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family memories and history.
