Smohkin' Dough...

Ricardo Carrera-Lowe and Stefan Doomanis

I love the entrepreneurial spirit and Los Angeles is the place to find the newest and the grooviest products and trends. In spite of  the tough economy, there is some serious dough to be made. Opportunities rises even in a recession. I had the pleasure of sampling some great smoked artisan bread from a new start up company, smohk (pronounced smoke). Wonderfully presented and displayed each weekend at Shelter Half at 161 South La Brea Ave.  by talented and creative founders, Ricardo Carrera-Lowe and Stefan Doomanis.  This savory product is only $9.00 a piece and all I can say is, you can't resist it! Delightfully sampled with handmade orange and lemoncello marmalades labeled Spirit; yet two other successful products created  by the founders and available on site.

Smohk bread  is specially and freshly crafted, therefore, you can get them on the weekend only which may change in the future due to purchase demands. Pre-ordering them on smohk.com is recommended. Also, check them out on https://www.facebook.com/SmohkLA. Seriously, let's "smohk and break some bread." You won't regret it.

Autism- A Spectrum of Hope

During my visit to Los Angeles, I had the privilege of knowing the founder of A Spectrum of Hope Foundation. http://www.spectrumofhope.org This wonderful organization helps families who have an autistic child and are eager to learn how to apply learning capabilities. Their mission statement:

"Our mission is to foster hope to families with young children affected by autism spectrum disorder. We provide Advocacy Grants to qualifying families and offer early intervention information so treatment can begin as soon as possible. "


The foundation promotes Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a science that studies environmental events that affects behavior in a child. What is amazing about this science is that  it works and  I have see the positive results from this application. This is a Californian foundation but it is well worth a visit to the website as a starting point to those who don't know where to begin. Many American families are affected by a child with autism and must have the learning tools to help themselves in order to help their child. This is truly a great knowledge based foundation. Pass this information on to those who may benefit from this.
