Cancer survivors!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

In this world there are two kinds of people, those who give up and those who are resilient and go on no matter what. People who have lived through the debilitating experience of dealing with a cancer condition are indeed survivors and real heroes. The attitude they display when fighting to defeat cancer tell us much about their courage and self determination. They are also teachers to those who do not have any illness and yet do not see the blessings they have, starting with their healthy bodies, their family, their job and in spite of all that, do not enjoy life, feel depressed ,and defeated. We must learn from them! Count our blessings, to be alive is a wonderful opportunity to share. What a privilege to be even in the same room with them, those with cancer ,and with cancer survivors!

A plethora of cancer exist and more to be discovered, however again there are only two kinds of individuals, the ones who know and understand themselves and those who do not. Those who turn their experience into a positive chanel to help others, enjoy every minute of their existence, teaching us by their example to be a little light, to inspire us to live life to the fullest. They can put us to shame when we complain about the insignificant things that can irritate us.

Tea Party

Monday, April 19th, 2010

The Tea Party participants are real patriots! Today it is very easy to understand how the people were feeling and were treated during the time of the Boston Tea Party. Observing the abuses our country has gone through and is going through, particularly during the last two years, facilitates this understanding.

No one can say that The Tea Party people of today are rambunctious and trouble makers, however they have demonstrated that they are peaceful people and want real change, and protection from increasing government size and superfluous taxes squandering.

At this point THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS, I dare say,is as a spinning molten iron that creates a magnetic field that surrounds the nation with their peaceful expressions of concern. The Tea Party is creating more and more energy , and its influence is spreading across the nation.

To keep its momentum going it must keep itself free from electropollution, free from infiltrators and impostors

A plethora of groups forms this admirable group of patriots, who so far has been peacefully spreading its message of concern for the people of the USA.

GOOOO TEA PARTY EXPRES!!! Keep your mission alive and your integrity, good, moral and ethic movement going. God is with you!

TAX,TAX,TAX,TAX!!!!

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Today is TAX DAY, I feel that I had paid enough taxes, even before taxes!
The other day I was listening to the radio on my way to the store, between three and five in the afternoon; AM radio on the KFI 640, there was a little bite about The Governor of California talking about taxes. It ended with Tax,tax,tax,tax. I think it was sort of cute. The sad part about it is that it is not cute but it is reality, we are the highest taxed state in the USA.

I believe that we do need to have some tax cuts. I know some millionaires want to be taxed more and that benefits them in some way, because then they can turn around and deduct millions, making more money. It does not work the same way for those who are not in that tax bracket.

Ultimately, if those making the tax rules would consider what is ethical, they would not go on taxing so much; furthermore if those using our money, if they made use of it ethically they would not use it unwisely and irresponsibly. The way it is presently used in my view is immoral and even obscene.

Let us voice our great concern for this injustice!

CHINA’s EARTHQUAKE!

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Rescue teams have been able to pull more than 900 people alive . Death toll expected to rise in China.

A 6.9 earthquake shook the western province of Qinghai, China killing 300 people and injuring about 8,000.

If you want to know more about the provice of Qinghai click here for clip viewing .

Our prayers are with them. Southern California has a glimpse of understanding on what an earthquake is all about. We had a 7.2 earthquake just south of us, however the loss of life was 2 vs 300 in China. We must stick together with brotherly love to support each other during difficult times.

Some bible scholars say that these are signs of the times, and that Jesus is coming soon. I do hope He comes soon, however in the meantime we need to live and get ready for Him as if He was coming today! Do the right things, treat others with love and compassion as we see the day approaching. We need to remember that we are only passing through this earth, we are not a permanent fixture here. There are better and greater experiences waiting for us in our future. One of those experiences will be to see of course our God face to face, and the other to see those who have left this earth before us.

PRESIDENT OBAMA BIPARTISAN MEETING

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Today the day prior to TAX DAY President B Obama is meeting with congressional leaders to discuss financial reform. Republicans and Democrats are meeting with President Obama to explore the progress that has been made.
This meeting is clearly bipartisan, it is going to be interesting to watch how their dialog will affect the final decisions that are yet to be made. The truth of the matter is that whatever decision they make will affect all of us from the newborn to the elderly, rich and poor. According to some economists our country’s debt will increase and citizens will share a debt of 40,000.00Dollars per capita.

In the meantime The Tea Party Express nationwide holds a rally in Boston, Massachusetts with Sarah Palin former Governor of Alaska leading the great meeting.
Other issues are going on in the country, homeowners in trouble, behind in mortgage payments about sixty days, which translates into about six million people. In other words the residential mortgage delinquency rate is increasing.

Also everyone is thinking about the IRS, tomorrow is TAX DAY. Our money is being spend unwisely used for some government pet-projects, even if we do not want our tax-dollars to be wasted.

We definitely need REFORM, however good and sensible reform to produce true jobs.

Bereavement Enabled by Spirituality.

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? Much adaptation is required of you during this time of mourning. Your expression of grief and the energy created by your loss when channeled and well distributed enables you to heal. This is an ongoing work you must face. The degree of healing depends on how well you adapt to your new world. You are not thinking clearly when your loss has recently stricken, however “shelving” your feelings now in order to fulfill immediate duties or responsibilities and later “dosing” those feelings at a more appropriate time enables you to make funeral or memorial arrangements.

Keep yourself spiritually strong, spirituality is hard to describe; a spiritual experience is for instance having a relationship with another person. It involves a deep inner essence of onself and the sharing of life with another human. If you shared such deep relationship with the person who has died, your grief is much deeper than if you had a casual relationship.

You can use your religion to help you deal with your grief, however keep in mind that religion draws from spirituality. Spirituality deals with our souls, while religion is more communal. Religion is a natural sprout or an outgrowth of spirituality.

Your loved one is always in your heart, in that sense he or she is never gone.

People who like to read, as they read get transported or taken to another place or even another dimension.Using this as a vehicle where they can travel in their minds anywhere they would like to go. You know who you are! Chances are your parents or someone who cared much about you, inspired you to learn the joy of reading.
Perhaps you enjoy reading novels, sports illustrated, readers digest like magazines, health magazines, or The Bible. If you are one of those people, as you read your mind travels without limits. How about when you read a recipe? Do you find that you can almost taste the final product?
Movie producers have turn some book material into movies, an example is The Lord of The Rings novel. The well known novel about the Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a ring from his adopted uncle Bilbo.A wizard shows up in this book, Gandalf is his name. He does research on the rings and tells Frodo that the ring belonged to a Dark Lord bent on domination. In the end the ring must be destroyed.

Reading! It must be done.

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Reading is a tool we can use to get ahead in life. Reading is a part of our daily lives, it is important and necessary to read. When we go grocery shopping, or window shopping or when we go on vacation reading is at the top of the list of things we must know. It makes sense and it makes our experiences less stressful if we know how to read in order to get from point A to point B. It is good to be able to read, some people read because they have to, others read because they want to read, and others simply for the joy of it.

There is a plethora of books in the market, people read some books just for fun such as The Lord of the Rings, a well known novel. Another novel is the Harry Potter series.

The Harry Potter series, took the world by surprise and it inspired many children to read. Children that before the books existed,were not interested in reading at all. Much credit goes to J.K. Rawling who wrote such interesting pieces.

It is up to the parents to help their children choose the appropriate books, careful not to discourage them from reading. Reading can also be very relaxing, it can be an escape, and a refreshing experience.

Tough Times?

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Are you going through tough times? When illness, economic difficulties,and failing relationships strike? Are you questioning God? You are not alone! Other individuals are going through the same struggles. You will make it throgh it all. There are other people who have faced the same burdens and have found their own ways to triumph.
Many years ago, a old woman told me as I was going through “my tough times”, that this too shall pass.
I was aggravated when she said it, because I was not ready to hear it. In the end when the dust settled, I found it to be true. I had to tell myself “this too shall pass”.

I had to take a deep breath and find it in my inner resources of strenght, one important element, that is accepting help from others, friends, family, and God. Others are the ministering hands of God in times of trouble. There is no other way, simply because we are not born in a vacuum, and do nol live in a vacum. We are innate social beings, therefore we can not escape this very fact and we can not survive alone. We need each other, it depends on us to make it work.

This too shall pass!!!

Donald Trump and attitude!

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Donald Trump is not stingy, he is rather generous, he gives advise freely. His advise directive to you is powerful if applied, in summary:he recommends for you to display a big-thinking attitude to portray a true active, enthusiastic, decisive, efficient, committed, confident a very important person that believes in her or himself. Someone with an attitude who wins promotions, friends, clients. Someone with an attitude that draws others or who is sought after because of your creative thinking and ideas.
You must make it a habit to be positive, to draw positive conclusions about things. With his advise, he encourages you to start your day in a positive note, start the morning or whenever your day starts thinking:
“Today is a great day”, ” It is great to be alive”, “There are plenty of opportunities for me to be successful today”.
In my way of thinking, those positive statements are true, in addition to the above I want to include the fact that God plays a big part in the whole picture. He is the one who gives and takes away. He can make things happen if you include Him in your plans. There is no question in my mind. I dare to say that Donald Trump is successful because he has a great attitude and has much talent and uses all of his attributes to his benefit and the benefit of others. God helps him, eventhoubh he calls Him “luck”.
