This magazine will be dedicated to those projects with undertakings that build up the community; and actually possess the healing and light properties needed to
help change a world filled with darkness and a community that has become divided because of different
views.
We wish to provide the Community Trunk with information about new and delightful support projects.
There has been too much Junk in the old trunk and
it is time we start anew by peeling away the old and
rotted garbage and building a new community. Some
old things we should keep because they are precious
and should be preserved.
We hope you will be a part of the solution and not the
problem.
There should be no room for old junk in a new trunk. The things of no value has been thrown away to make
room for the new. We wish to be an avenue to the beautiful things and truth going forward by sharing those
things in this magazine when possible. We want to appeal to the rooted fans as well as the innovative.

occur as a result of making
a decision in haste.
Decision - the act of making up one's mind; a judgment, conclusion, or resolution reached or given; verdict
Collision - the conflict of opposed ideas, wishes, attitudes, etc; a violent impact of moving objects; crash
As we continue to watch the fast and immense destruction of the world and the people in it I question how
such a thing is even imaginable. After all wasnt this
world and the people in it fashioned from a foundation
built on Gods LOVE? Of course this will only apply to
those who believe in God.
As a baby boomer raised in the deep south and a person who fancied soulful music I think of the 70s international funk/disco musical band known as Heatwave.
I'm reminded of the song this group made popular
called Mind Blowing Decisions and the lyrics penned
to the song by Johnnie Wilder, Jr.

The Dangerous girls Association could not missed the occasion to celebrate,
commemorate and radiate Michael Jackson's Love and Legacy. They were there with
a stand selling artisanal objects to help the Kenyan project. The total proceeds of the
sales were given to the association Cuore dAfrica (Heart of Africa) in order to give a
chance to Justine, a very young girl from Kenya, to complete her studies and have a
better future.

In Barcelona, Spain
there was the MJ World Cry 2015 organized by 4LOVEprojects.org.
MJWorldCry is carrying on Michael's vision and acts of kindness. Why World Cry? To
keep the dreams and ideas that Michael had during his lifetime alive and to continue
spreading the love by helping the needy and to follow Michael Jackson's footsteps as
a true humanitarian.

On July 5 at the Royal Palaggio VENARIA near Turin, Italy, there was the annual DINNER
IN WHITE, which was not a special commemoration for Michael but a new fashion
dinner that is taking place throughout all Europe. How does it work? People meet in the
agreed location, all dressed rigorously in white, and white should be the dishes and all the
items that decorate the table for the dinner.
This new edition catches the attention of the local MJ fans and they create an opportunity to
spend an evening sharing the common passion for Michael Jackson. Ada Tarchetti and
Tiziana Schellino, worked with enthusiasm to settle the dinner, have fun and also talk about
solidarity and make public understand that no matter where its always the right time to stir
the hearts of everyone towards others, exactly like Michael Jackson legacy teach us.

Six years on, and Michael Jackson's message and his memory live on,
immortalized in his music and his own prophetic words.
"Stars never die. They just turn into smiles and melt back into the
cosmic music. When you want to be close to me, listen to the music.
The love is stored there and will not die." - Michael Jackson

AND
Hello Friends,
Every year for Michaels birthday I am involved in organizing and participating in a fundraising project for
children. It has recently come about that I will be in Gary
this year on Michaels birthday. Yay!! What I have decided to do this year is to bring (or send) copies of my
books Smile Effect and Ever After for the children of
Gary.
What I would like to do is to buy, with your help, as
many copies as we can, to give to the 7 other elementary schools in Gary and also the Youth Services Bureau. The cost of the books including shipping would be
$7 each. If any of you are interested in buying a book
(or books) for the children of Gary, you can send contributions by PayPal to mjeverafter@gmail.com I
promise to keep you informed about the funds collected and how many books we are able to buy and distribute.
ALSO, if anyone would like to send a birthday heart for Michael, I would be happy to deliver
them to Michaels Gary house on August 29! PM me for my mailing address. I am so excited to
finally be going to Gary!
Thank you all for your amazing friendship and support. Its all for Michael, and all for L.O.V.E
Brenda

Scotty and I are super excited to launch this fun little project that we've decided to call
"The Couch Sessions". Once a week, in addition to posting our live videos and chronicles, we'll be posting an all acoustic session from our living room of a new cover song, or
one of our own. We'd love to take requests if ya'll would like us to play a song of your choice!
So, to kick it all off, we recorded the first cover today! Vance Joy, an incredible up rising singer/
songwriter from Australia released a new single today called "Straight Into Your Arms". And being
entirely
honest, I heard it first thing this morning and I got all weepy. Scotty didn't get it at all. Whatever, lol. smile
emoticon But this song is hauntingly, shiftingly beautiful, and, as always, any song that strikes us this much
must be covered. So we learned it real quick this afternoon and ta da, here it is! We hope ya'll enjoy, let us
know what you think! Love you guys tons and tons! Vance Joy Straight Into Your Arms (official cover) || Sister/Brother duo NEW HD 720-1080p

Here's our live rendition of Ed Sheeran's beautiful single "Photograph". I have literally had this song on repeat for weeks. If you're a lyric junkie such as I, please read
the lyrics for this song, you'll be glad you took my advice. Although you may tear up
a bit. Just a warning. Hope ya'll enjoy! Love you guys tons and tons! Ed Sheeran Photograph Music Video cover - Live/Acoustic || Nicole & Scotty (sister/brother duo) NEW

express their pain and work towards enjoying a new life.
If you are one of those who are willing to help, please be one of our angels and give. If you
are one of those who needs help, begin to talk about it. Pain is only temporary. Your life is
yours to live and you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
We created an avenue on our web site for you to tell your story. A place for you to read
about others like us. To be able to give someone hope by sharing a kind word. Please check out our
inspirations.With your help, we will soon build a Compassion Care Center Of The Arts in the
metropolitan Los Angeles Area for children to have a safe place to be educated in the arts, a place
to get away and enjoy an afternoon of peace and tranquility, a place where children and
parents alike can receive counseling to help them get through their trying times, even the
opportunity to learn the very basics in day to day living. This is our desire.
Be imitators of goodness as dearly loved children and live a fulfilled life of love. Thank
you for your support and love.

SPIRITUAL DEVOTIONS
One of a Kind
By Gene Markland
114
I saw the passing of a famous news reporter become an event covered by all the major news outlets. Her entire professional career was chronicled and displayed for all to see. Her coverage of national and international news became legendary.
Especially remarkable was her assignments to cover no less than ten United States Presidents. As
her fellow journalists gave her accolades, one phrase echoed repeatedly. "She was one of a kind."
So many unique individuals have come and gone in our lifetime: sports figures, actors, politicians
and explorers, some of which went to the moon and back. They, the most unique and famous, were
all called one of a kind.
Through Bible history we also learn the stories of other very unique individuals. We discover people
such as King David. He was a mighty warrior for God who slew Goliath, the giant enemy of God's
people. God used David to forge a nation, the people of Israel.
David was a man of great spiritual depth and understanding, yet a man of fiery human passion and
fallibility. However, he was a man after God's own heart. He was one of a kind.
Remember the story in the Bible of the woman who brought expensive perfume, her personal fortune, and anointed Jesus by pouring it out over His head? After a disciple chastened her for wasting it all, saying it could have been sold to help the poor, Jesus said that wherever the gospel is
preached around the world, her deed would be talked about in her memory. She was one of a kind.
In modern times we have men such as Billy Graham, another one of a kind who brought the gospel
of Christ to millions around the world.
Then of course there's Lord Jesus who gave up the splendor of heaven and His life there with Father God to come to earth and become one of us, the son of man. He did this to become the legal
sacrifice for our sin. He became our kinsman redeemer.
He took our place on the cross and became sin for us thereby enabling us to become the righteousness of God in Christ (II Corinthians 5:21 NIV). Yes Jesus is one of a kind!
Then there's you dear Reader. Yes you! God's word says that you are fearfully and wonderfully
made, (Psalm 139:14 NIV) formed by Him in your Mother's womb (Job 31:15NIV). God doesn't love
you because of what you do. He loves you because of who you areHis child.
Your heavenly Father loves you so much in fact that He gave His only begotten Son that you would
be saved and have life everlasting (John 3:16 NIV). He did this because He wants you for Himself.
Imagine that! He wants you! He loves you so much that He is absorbed with every detail of your
life. Even the number of hairs on your head draws His attention (Luke 12:7 NLT).
Why, you may ask, does God love you so much? Why? Because you are His child, and are truly
one of a kind!

Poetry

Broken....
Broken.......
When your world is a stage, the best by far, with only an entrance
to heavens gate
of the greatest star.....
walk in this mans shoes, look with his eyes, love with his heart,
give with his hands.
know of this angel that walked this earth, of hisself value, his
worth
reach within the soul of every being, look beyond your own hopes
and dreams
you'll see the beauty one life could consume
like that of a broken heart string never to be amended
when you fight so hard not to believe that this is the end...
rest assured as the clouds still gather after a storm,there is still
a rainbow of such beauty and form..
a music note out of tune, a beated heart that's broken
and worn, a rose petal torn....A soul that still mourns..... TammyJones

courage blooms
and fear departs

SHOUT IT OUT
CORRINE MONTORFANI
Fame but thanks to his social commitment, he also entered in a Hall Of Fame
very much less known in the media:
the Guinness Book Of World Records as
the Most Charities Supported by a Pop
Star. That is, he IS the pop star who
supported the highest number of
charities worldwide. During his career,
Michael Jackson supported 39 non-profit
organizations through direct donations
and through sponsorship of projects.
Finally, also those who have never had a high ranking on pop
music and definitely its not exactly their "cup of tea", begin to
understand that it's worth spending a couple of lines on a guy
like Michael Jackson: if only to figure out who, or rather, "what"
was Michael Jackson for many years compared to whole
international scenario.
So it must be acknowledged that in cases like this, avoid the
naive dichotomies that want private and public life now inversely
proportional (shadows in one, lights in the other), now inextricably linked (the eternal
Peter Pan with a mutilated childhood...) it is not really easy. In the face of a subject
such is Michael, even the use of certain proverbial and widely used expressions ("he
changed music panorama forever", "eclectic artist " etc) has an awkward sound.
So, it was really sad to read the other day this headline:
We have to step back and admit that MJ fans have always been divided way before his
death. This is sad because he always spoke of peace, love & unity and some of these fans
never followed the message he tried so hard to spread.
The history of the Memorial Munich started on June 25th 2009 with one single poster. Fans
were mourning together, remembering MJ under a statue of Renaissance composer Orlando
di Lasso (then later became MJ shrine), just opposite the entrance of the Bayerischer Hof
hotel, a place where Michael was a frequent guest. Although the memorial never received
formal approval by the Munich or Bavarian state authorities, over the years it has become a
kind of quirky landmark and a must-see stop for foreign tourists but we have been informed
that:
Rival factions enamored with the King of Pop beyond the grave are locked in a bitter
battle over who tends best to the American singer's memory, in a spat that has at
times even turned violent.
This was written on tabloidsthe very same tabloids Michael despised, the very same
131
And this is NOT the way to spread Michael's message." In short, you are
dismissed! Michael Jackson does not need you. Keep listening to the music
and learn history of contemporary music but away from his legacy! Really!!
Michael with no such big fuss (and many personal worries) did as follows:
In 1992 he was the promoter of the foundation Heal the World Foundation now
closed. The objectives of the foundation, which over the years of its activity has
raised over $ 100 million, ranging from supply of medicines to needy children,
the fight against malnutrition, support for homeless and commitment against
child abuse.

Rocks were photographed at the main gate before being placed behind a fence at Neverland.
The Michaelritas
TIME HAS NO CONSCIENCE but we do...It has been 6 years last month on June
25th, 2015 that you left us and we havent been the same since.
The last breath you took was ours too...When Jermaine announced your death, the
whole world died with you Michael... You went through so much on this earth and now
you are at peace and our hearts and souls rejoice in that but not the absence of your
presence.
You will always be more than just a lingering within, what you left in us is grounded in
our hearts and the very depths of our souls. You hypnotized us with your voice,
stunned us with your moves and electrified us with that smile of yours. We know and
have memorized your messages in the songs you gave us. We grieve your death, celebrate your birth and visit you often.
We will always love and cherish you forever and a day..... R.I.P....MIKE.... Signed by
WHOLE WORLD.....

But Im 35 years old now, so people will hear my story, because Im writing a lot on this album. As far as what I do in my personal life, if you get to know me then youll know. But I
have friends and family that love me for who and what I am. I dont need other people
to love me for who I am, I need them to love me for my music and if they cant do that
then youre not a fan. I divulge a lot in my album. I know the questions that people
ask, so really the only way youll get to know me is through my music.

What a mouthful
and some of us get
it Tevin Campbell.
The "Music" is the
artists' way of communicating with the
fans but many
times we go WAY
over that boundary
line.

STOP THINKING
WE KNOW MORE

Catching Fire:
Michael Jackson
Fan Tributes in the
Week of the 25th June
tract from his legitimate anger, his serious social commentary, by homing in on his
personal failings. The cult of celebrity is all about serving as a distraction from
things that matter. When Michael Jackson tried to talk about things that mattered
we responded by veering even harder in the other direction. We drilled in on his
cosmetic surgery, his Neverland Ranch, his pop-star lifestyle anything to distract
ourselves from a black man expressing discontent with the state of the world.
Im sorry that I was fooled, and missed the opportunity to be sensitized to the subject of race much earlier in my life by an artist I loved so much I literally woke up
singing his music every day for years. Tonight I watched Spike Lees video for
They Dont Really Care About Us over and over while my family stared in confusion over where the Christmas music had gone. I stared equally befuddled as I
watched the choreography and lyrics evoke everything from mass incarceration, to
police brutality, to income inequality. How had I missed this? White privilege, thats
how.

Petition
By means of the Mummy, mankind, it is said, Attests to the gods its respect for the
dead. We plunder his tomb, be he sinner or saint, Distil him for physic and grind him
for paint, Exhibit for money his poor, shrunken frame, And with levity flock to the scene of the shame. O, tell me, ye gods, for the use of my rhyme: For respecting the dead
what's the limit of time?

Hailed as the criminal trial of the century. Two
years of speculation in the media. Wall to wall
media coverage from 2003 to 2005, 2000+ accredited journalists, yet the defense case was
invisible. The public were bombarded with salacious prosecution focused media commentary.

Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last
breath of each soldier who died protecting it.
