A note from our co-founder, Merlin:
We’re really happy for some good friends of Dogeared who’s movie comes out this week. The Hayes Brothers wrote The Conjuring which is enjoying incredible reviews and is predicted to be one of this years best movies. Regardless of what you believe spiritually, this movie, based on a true story will create lots of discussion about life here and beyond. We suggest you see it with friends and probably not right before you go to bed.
In theaters tomorrow, July 19
Dogeared is constantly learning about the flow of karma in our lives. Case in point: we have worked closely with One Voice, an L.A. based nonprofit, since 1991. One Voice provides assistance to low-income families, including scholarship assistance to young adults in need. In 1992, Leticia, who came from a family of 11, was one of the first recipients of a One Voice scholarship. No one in Leticia’s family had been to college before – yet this bright and determined young woman attended Wellesley College thanks to this remarkable program. One Voice contacted Leticia, and recently, Dogeared received a surprise visit from her. It was a delight to learn that she is the mother to two children and works as a guidance counselor in Torrance – now helping other young adults prepare for their futures. Leticia has come full circle…and we’re privileged and proud to be part of such an outstanding human being’s journey.
