Hi there! I hope you had a wonderful weekend celebrating our nations independence! (Or just enjoying life for those fans not in this country.) I had an amazing Fourth of July weekend. One that started as possibly one of the toughest in my life and ended as one of the best!
Sky Pie Apparel’s tagline is “Clothing that Gives Life”. I was so encouraged by this weekend and found it so life giving, that I am willing to allow you to peer into a nice sized window of my soul. I don’t know what your background or beliefs are, but I hope it blesses you no matter where you are on your journey.
If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated with life, or striving for the approval of others, or just wondering what it’s all about, take a gander at the Note I wrote:
FREEDOM!

1st Annual Spring Launch Sky Pie and Tee Party!!!
Thank you so much to those who came out to support the 1st Annual Spring Launch Sky Pie and Tee Party!!! What a great success!
There were a lot of laughs to be had and delicious food with more pie than you could toss at the faces of the Ringling Brothers' clowns!
Sky Pie revealed their new spring shirts: a tough looking “Respect Women” shirt in a unisex straight shape for men and women in Air Strike Green as well as in a women’s fitted Paratrooper Green
A unisex version of “I’m a Keeper but can you Catch Me?” in Storm Cloud Gray and Texas Sunset Orange
And the women’s fitted “Keeper” shirt in Twilight Purple.
These shirts will be available on the website soon! The women’s fitted Paratrooper Green “Respect” shirt was a huge hit and many took advantage of the special pricing at the party. See an awesome pic of it on Sky Monkey April on the Facebook page!
Shirley Till was at the party sharing information about Nightlight International, an organization that helps stop human trafficking. Part of the party’s proceeds and sales of Sky Pie Apparel merchandise in general goes to Nightlight in hopes that we can rid the world of human slavery!
A special congratulations goes to the winners of the raffle: Dany Paragouteva (Sweet tea and fun travel cup and straw), Laura Pinho (Special gift bag), April Vanderwal (Special gift bag), and Amanda Sackett (Sky Pie shirt of her choice)!
Thank you again to everyone who helped make the 1st Annual Spring Launch Sky Pie and Tee Party a success! A special thank you to everyone who brought great food and an extra special thank you to Sky Monkey Laura P for helping work the booth!

FLESH
It boggles my mind to think of how blessed we are to live in America: to enjoy a walk in the park on a sunny afternoon, take a nice country drive, or eat ice cream while watching Seinfeld reruns. Even more so, it amazes me how we can be so cushioned by these nice things that we don’t realize that others have incredibly harder lives which are filled with atrocities.
Sure, we think someone “over there” in a foreign country is hungry or in the midst of war, which is horrible, but we don’t often think of the word “atrocities” being used for dealings in our neighborhood, on our own street, or maybe even right next door.
A personal friend of mine, Kristin Ross Lauterbach, has created a documentary called FLESH: Bought and Sold in the U.S. which looks at human trafficking and prostitution. Did you know the average age a young girl is forced into prostitution is twelve to fourteen? And that is in the U.S.! The time these young girls should be enjoying life, school dances, and spending time with friends.
FLESH calls into question our definitions of slavery, human trafficking, and prostitution in the United States. This is a story told by girls who have escaped and by those still enslaved, by former and current pimps, the abolitionists of today, including numerous directors of non-profit organizations, a former U.S. Ambassador, LAPD vice, and the L.A. City Task Force on Human Trafficking.
One of the non-profit organizations is Nightlight International which part of Sky Pie Apparel proceeds go to.
The film is showing at Awareness Film Festival on Saturday, May 7th, at 9PM. For more information and to buy tickets go to: Heal One World
