Good News, or Mews as my daughter says!

I haven't posted a new blog for how long! wow-- what is my excuse?
Top ten reasons why I haven't blogged

10. I am too lazy to think of a good subject!
9. I m feeling totally inferior to the other bloggers out there that actually get 20 comments and tons of hits
8. I am busy with writing letter to Lowes, and BBQ tek about my defective and recalled BBQ that caught fire on CHRISTMAS`
7. Having my husband home everyday is so distracting, that I get almost nothing done
6. Subjects for blogging are too political even for me, and I don't want to loose any friends
5. As an Arbonne consultant I want to look like a professional, and be a good likeness of the products
4. Writing to myself is futile, and I have yet to publish my book that I have worked on for ten years
3.I have had less than good coffee that does nothing for me
2. Twitter is pretty good, because writing one line is easier to proof than my ramblings
1. Facebook is by far more fascinating, addicting and more provocative than it should be, considering no one really cares,...



Well there are ten subjects I could write about, and I still dont feel like writing!

I wanted to write ALL about the Christmas BBQ fire, and then I felt like the newspaper article was good-- enough. Now we actually have a new fancy, giant, expensive WEBER BBQ in our garage as of today, thanks to the letter and the fire. What does that teach, we should all have fires and complain? I hope that its really tha they care, and I am pleased to think that, but I doubt that they can do that for everyone-- what about all those that I wanted to warn, will they get the same treatment? Did I do this just for me? I hope not. I hope that nobodies BBQ burns a fire in their house, and we have a season of safety learned from our mistake.


Facebook, ahh I want to log in now, what is it about that thing! Pictures, comments, and people! I refuse to do the games, I don't want to admit I sit here , and I am sure we will be hearing in the news that butts are growing thanks to FACEBOOK. They did get sued and settled at least once, but really, I think the people I have friended,have more reasons to HATE me, now that they read my posts. I wonder why people who I like are silent and people I dont even know, can comment and see my comments. I know there are virus' and x rated photos and all sorts of stupid things on there, it is the bowling alley for the fingers. Only the losers are sitting on there, but the big wigs will advertise spend money and lie just like in magazines and media. We will read and learn from the same companies we were trying to avoid-- but don't because, now its on facebook.

Twitter, great! now I can write a line and wonder if I can write a line!-- I have to have the headlines, for my life. I guess that is great if we were reading once a day or once a month, but this is fodder for the bs news that baits your mind with short stupid catch phrases and then you go to read it and it means something completely different. But I do love thinking for just a moment that I am reading something from the Dali Llama or Eric Idle, Steve Vai or Ashton... as if! I like it - but then I get all-- weirded out- they don't know me, but I can read what they write-- I quickly sign out, like I am some kind of a freak in a peep show.

Coffee is getting more important, I love it, but I have an odd habit now. I hate making it, because I dont get expensive coffee I like, and water is metallic here. ut I will pour it, cream and sugar it and then, let it sit there, and get cold. And drink maybe three sips, at most. And then wonder why- I have a head ache. I do not like microwaved coffee either, after watching the science of fat and calories and grossness that grows in stale coffee-- I shiver to think of my veins. Peets coffee, soo soo soo good, and yet soo so soo far away.

I am a new Arbonne consultant! I love it! I love this job, I love my skin and I am looking for those who want to hear about the opportunity- email me! It really is that good! I can say, it is the best products I have ever- used. If you don't know my skin, my story about my skin-one word might help. Accutaine. Make a living looking your best, and invite others to do the same; make time for the life you really want!

Politics are out of control. I love my country, I believe that we are in trouble, but I don't delude myself to believe that lighting a fire with the people I love, will actually change the way, congress and the government works. I know that the best way to change the world, is to be the light myself, light my own fire, and let it shine for all to see, and don't expect others to do more than I can do myself. I pray for this time, the people that are suffering, and like me, I hope that we can all just get back to work soon.

Of the silly things I write, and the serious things that are occurring, I hope that I will achieve my goals this year, and be the kind of person I have designed myself to be: Mother, Friend, Sister, artist, Deacon, lover, and believer-of the dream, my dream and yours, there is plenty for all.

In the words of my cousin who is doing great things, learning traveling and being a great humanitarian, I love my life.



What will you wish to do before you die? Now is the time to make sure it get's done.

Reshaping Learning from the Ground Up | Edutopia

Reshaping Learning from the Ground Up Edutopia


Read this from the author of FUTURE SHOCK

Pioneering independant thoughts!

I am all for it!

The one question ....

  This is a long tale about the question of what we pay attention to, how we speak, what we say, is it just subjective =/  what ev i tink-<-- do we really do that?

 

 Its almost Christmas!  Hustle and bustle of shoppers at the stores, everywhere there is lights and decorations, we get out the music we've waited all year for, and the television shows transform with tales of joy and laughter and hope, along with advertising that is almost convincing!  Wow, I can forget so many important things, focusing on my Christmas--Holiday; I need to say a few times a day, Jesus is the reason for the season, and this year I have taken on an actual Charity event!  I know!, not just hide behind my Church event, but get behind the event I love the most, even if I feel like its not saving the planet from what ever is in fashion,  it's great to do something like this!

 

Working hard at anything, is the best distraction from dark shadows that can envelope us. Those same shadows, darken the bright future of our brilliant country, the United States of America. For example,  I like to listen to NPR, this afternoon while waiting for my kids, Neil Conan discussed how people tend to believe only the extremist stories about religion, and a Mormon woman said that she felt the sting of prejudice when so many were sure she belonged to a polygamist group when actually- it could not be further from the truth.  Christmas is full of fake realities about religion, and so much of it is sold to us! But why blame society, we buy it,  I forget that Church is now trademarked with scandal ...even if we dont admit it, because those who love it, and attend will negotiate the stigma for the reality, we know better, it is called faith.  But even that sounds trite...and I do apologize if you read into that, but a wealthy man would not apologize for his Mercedes, so I should actually show my faith with the similar openness.

 

  I recently gave up my feud with the television,  bought a digital antenna, and now I get my fair share of network news, in high definition and stereo, just in time to catch the Tiger tales, and well, it's not like that story is any better in HD.  So I face-book with a select group of friends, and family and one second after I log in, I only miss them more!! And now I spent more time genuinely wondering what they actually get from my short updates on my life, and now I don't bother to send them emails, or the long lost letter.  And a few people, just hear too much from me, and probably are too nice to say anything, but I don't know who they are, so I just pray that they dont -"unfriend" me, which by the way, is the new word for Webster's Dictionary this year.  If you like useless knowledge that is a doosey!

 

I found solitude on face-book, and went on to, twitter, where I can mindlessly read the twitteriffic tweets of people I will never ever meet or know, or that know me.  I find it funny that the same people who really would never want you to see them in tabloids or take their photo, will leave notes for the whole world to see, and allow others to directly send them-teeny emails...I get information, from the opinions, and of course its completely subjective, and should not be taken seriously, yes of course.  One thing, I do find it really odd that serious writers for news shows are complaining that news could not possibly be coming out of the short sweet tweets, because they want to be the source with long articles and unnamed sources.  All the while, they are still reporting stories about these famous people, and because of that the anchors and stations, tweet, and the news is actually faster now that everyone with a cell phone has this capability. We are continuously being told, we can't know anything on our own, we need others, and we wonder why our children are all rushing into college and the state of the economy is falling apart.  We negotiate the emails, the facebooks, and the phones and the blackberries, for the sole purpose of staying close, while I am sure that I talk less to the people that I would normally remember to pick up the home phone, and dial out to.

 

We can think for ourselves, but even that has its stigmas, many that don't conform, are largely collected into groups that conservatives believe are ruining others lives.  If you let someone ruin your life, is it someone elses fault?  Being against a political party, or a politician, can bring all of us to a good discussion, but putting that person in charge of your life, and aggressively blaming the opposition for what might seem like a wrench in the system, is just another way to stand in shadow, and hide from the light of opportunity to see, a little competition is healthy for all of us.  So where am I going with this, why do I need to point out, the distractions of Christmas, and the stigma of the ways we communicate, in public, and in print?  I am in dire need to post the thoughts that have given me a headache for the past two weeks... and just so you all know, I listened-- I tried, and I negotiated my best, but I was truly lost in translation.

 

I think that the spoken word, is a powerful way to communicate, and highly negotiable. You can really get the full impact of the person and the story when you get it in person, you can ask questions, and you can respond with your own personal views. People who travel can use hand signs, and motions and pointing, but we find ways to make our thoughts known. And the best part is, we don't have to type, tweet, or check our spelling!  People can hear our grammar they can tell our brain power by our choice of words, and possibly even get an idea of our heritage, by our accent.  We can recognize many accents here in America,  people who speak with a southern drawl, with a New York hip, or Western red neck, these voices can evoke charm,  just as definitive as the Queens English, or the French sophisticate, often we enjoy the sound of the accent.  I for one, absolutely love, the Australian tone of voice, the speech that has this smile built in, for the majority of the well spoken adults.  I am going to go out on a limb here, and not stigmatize, but take the position that if the accent is so strong that I can't negotiate a conversation,  I will often, secretly-resolve, not to try to talk to the person, and just smile and say, uh huh, and hope they do the same.

But today, someone said to me, with a heavy Latin accent, no one in America speaks English!! And  I was astounded at his revelation of all Americans, and he continued to respond to my correction of his advertisement- printed with many oddities in grammar, spelling, text but also the word lent on it.  I said, lent what is lent?  In the sentence it was clearly not, the Christian season before Easter, and I said, what is this word?  He said, lent! and went on to proclaim, that we all said it. In his own way, it was clear that he wanted to get by, as much as I find this resourcefulness fun, it is vital in print that we use properly spelled words, esspecially in advertising, its NOT negotiable.  The printed word needs to represent, what we mean the most, and lent is the way he heard, Length, only if he had ever heard it said phonetically, or read it , he would have known, but unfortunately for him, this was just another reason for anger, and it was as if he stigmatized himself, I will always relate lent to length now, hes changed my definition in my head.  Slang does this, it takes words and re negotiates their meaning, and often we can sound very old,  or very un-cool, by using slang that is from a particular era.  Slang is not what I think of as proper English, and usually is not the standard for publishing in print or for media.  Does the Bible have slang in it? 

 

I understand that many of us are frustrated with the world and the way it is, and how we cannot not control it.  The generation gap widens each time, words are changed and used in order to separate the young from the old. I know I should have patience with anyone who wants to discuss events and have opinions, no matter what their rhetoric might be, but there is a fine line between optimal accents that allow someone to know your background, and being intolerant of the language that you communicate with.  Being good or bad with it, it is your words that people hear first, and no matter who you are, or how well dressed you are, your education will show in the words you choose.  It is said that when you put junk in you can only get junk out, meaning - junk food will, only produce a person with a personality of a twinkie.  This is true of junk-media, music, and books, you can not possibly expect to speak better or command the English language without the study of all genres, and not excluding the classics as a base.

 

In this United States, we have forgotten the question of what language do we speak, is it English?  Webster's Dictionary has a new video that automatically opens and plays when you use the web site.  And it proclaims that our language is a mongrel of a language.  What an image that is, and coming from our book of definitions, I almost find that thought detrimental to my ability to see myself with any culture what so ever.

It was Frank Lloyd Wright, the architect of the 20th century, who said, it is us who designs our own life, we make our buildings we make our cities and towns, we make the blueprints, for our beautiful lives. We do.

 

 And  I have a DVD that Santana says, that our voice is our instrument, that we play for others, and we can choose to use it for peace or for hate.  When you sing your Christmas carols, when you say Merry Christmas, when you say thank you, you are not in a dress rehearsal for something else. Our words are our gifts of our talents, and each time we praise someone it is as generous as the wrapped surprise under the tree.  Take note of something nice, or beautiful , or worthy of a meaningful moment, to say, I really like that about you, it changes our focus from inward, to positive and outward, if we look for the complements!

 

this is my new years resolve , to teach with carefully chosen words, from this day forward.  To learn a new word a week, realistically!  And to make sure that I allow fair-trade negotiations of people's words, especially for friends and family. No more taxing arguments !  :)

 

Merry Christmas!! 

 

All the best in this season of hope! 

 

May you carry it with you all year-

 

Peace

stormy weather

Last night I dreamed that I was sailing around town, on a four post bed, seeing the sights, and feeling freedom, but still very alone, on my journey.  I met some friends I had not seen for a long time, and was happy to see them.  But, after a short ride, they broke my vehicle bed, and I was stuck in a strange place, and had to ask for help from people I never met before.  When I was  told my vehicle bed was fixed, and ready to fly, I noticed to my sadness, it had been altered so greatly, it was never the same.  The four posts were cut down to two, and the old ones, tossed out.

 

I was left to go on with what I had, and I wondered if I should be grateful, or sad.

 

I have arrived at a new chapter in my book of life.   As I write this, I know I set my pace, and I need much more help from friends and family than I am willing to admit.  But I ask God first, I pray , and I have a new strength, that I found recently, spending time with a nice female friend. I set out on a new adventure, filled with mystery, and hope.  I feel like a pirate, as I cast out my sail, and drift a bit, feeling like I am going so very very slowly,  pirates are not highly educucated, but often very experienced, and "savvy" as  Jack Sparrow would say.  I can be savvy, it is fashionable now, to have a notion of thrift.  We who have always loved the idea of spending a little less, will always laugh when our common sense comes into fashion sense.  We're now in a retro 80's style - and if that wasn't a thrown together look, it was a "cheap" look to say the least.  It is with great love that one can shop for used goods, it brings you to humble yourself, when you know, you were not the first to have enjoyed this item of clothing, or furniture, now we can even get used cars, and used houses...and the separation of classes continues. But savvy, is an element of sassy in savvy, that comes when someone says, where did you get that, and you make your choice on what to say.  I love to say, that I bought it a Macy's or that I spent a fortune...and then see the look on their faces.  Its a different look if you say, oh I got this for a dollar at this great store downtown!

 

What is wrong with giving something away, for someone else to use, if you are not using it?  We can all see that life of many good items will go on far after we thought it would not be a usable item.  I sold a car once, a Ford Van, much to my children's dismay.  The family car, complete with windows that don't roll down, lack of air conditioning, damaged fenders, and even childrenized seats...I loved that van, it saved me, but it was -embarrassing!  I was astounded when we sold it, that the van lived on in my area for years, and I new it was mine, because they did not take off one of my stickers!  It was like a ghost that floated around town, reminding me of my past.  It reminded me, that I had given that a second change to go onward, and in that  generous gesture ( we sold it for less than 800!) I to had a new chance to try again.

 

Second chances are  always there, we can ask for them, and we can take them, but in those moments where we know we are offering them, and we have thought we did it for someone else, it is a serendipitous moment, and we feel it when we let go of the old, and embraced the new. It may just be new to us, and to be new to us is enough, to make it good again, useful, and full of promise.

 

I see stormy skies today, outside it is bitter cold and winter, but spring gives the world a second chance to show how much we have changed.

 

Second chances....there is always hope.

Fw: Today's Prayers

 

 I feel like  we are getting bombarded with problems these days

 like were at bat, and no one asked if we were ready--

 they pitches keep coming, and as soon as we look  away one hits us right in the head,

they get faster, they get curved

 they get better and getting us to swing when we shouldn't

 

But then I remember-

 I am on Gods team

I have been training for this- day---I knew it would get tough- I knew I would have to use my knowledge

This is nothing new, I watched so many before me go through this same problems,

 

and you know when I summon up my courage, I know I am OK

 and that is when I hit one --it goes right out of the park-

 

I smile, i feel the world smile, and the sun shines brighter-0-0

go ahead, --fire on at me

I might need  the practice--

 Go ahead-- pitch it!

I might need to learn to concentrate harder-

 Pitch your best-- one-- life-give me your best -

 I will like the opportunity- to learn-- I am going to NAIL IT!

 --

Because I am not going anywhere!!!!!!  Until my turn is up!

 ~ I am just one on this great team-

and after me --there is a line stronger - younger faster and they will stand in line forever to fight for the team...

 

I will take my turn at bat, I will not buckle, and when I get hit, I am not afraid---that is when I know!

 I am the coach, and even on the sidelines I am a valuable part of my team.

 

I can --cheer, I can give the signals because I know many are watching and my team still depends on me.

 

There is a balance, after I have worked hard on the team, then I am the coach.

 

I teach with my actions, I teach with my stamina, I cant talk my way out anything, and there are no excuses.

 

But when I am good just when all the bases are loaded and it seems all could be lost, I am on FIRE!!  I love the chance

   I set up to the plate, I focus, and !!connect!!---I get to RUN as hard as I can--

 

 

`until I get home.  

 

 SO go head run, RUN!  RUN LIKE YOUR TEAM DEPENDS ON YOU!!! 

 Because this is what you were made for!  And you know you can handle anything that crosses your plate. 

 

 

(((HUGS))))

Welcome to 2009

What shall we find interesting to listen to, when we at this point think we have heard it all. Once it has become stated that we now know it all, and that no one may discuss topics of the day, as interest, but as reactions to the guffaw in what might be the biggest smite upon the faces of the ever-present stubbornest colony of the republican Obama haters.

Belonging to a pitchfork carrying colony of protesters will always sway your observers to wonder, what is this? And if your case is protested loudly and with enough vigor, all who must be forced to recon with you, but alas, how can we protest without one hand on the peace pot, the other with the spoon ready to reinforce the spin. Spin it your way, but it still needs a pot, it takes two, therefore what would you do with nothing to complain about? I for one will shy way away from our brethren in fierce combat for the belief that our enemy is our own. For who is really to say, such mutiny? I heard recently, in every success, someone must back down and fail, and let the others succeed. With grace, we should give faith a fighting chance.

Isn't it enough to just be who we are? When will it ever be enough? We like to imitate God, as pitiful humans, I have noticed. We tell ourselves we are as great, and we indulge our self in every favor that portrays us as divine beings. Some even tout that they can levitate, and read futures or bring cards out that tell stories of personal battles to come. This is not a show of Gods-gifted talents, because non shall brag. None of us, is free from the truth, none of us is as great as God , we cant make trees, or flowers, or butterflies or rain and certainly stars and galaxies are out of our real reach. We can look, and ponder, we cannot make something true. We can talk about it, study it and take it down to the DNA, but we cannot make it happen from nothing. We don't look at the dirt, take it in our hand, and say, today, I think I make...another species. And arguably those that do make "DNA creations", will be asked, is it from GOD?

If we knew our limitations, in the framework of what we see, and what we actually control, by simply being outwardly obtrusive, and painfully dictating, we ourselves would not be obedient to this kind of subversive torture. It is necessary to revive the basic faith in human nature, and the strength in kindness.

Your mother would be firm with you, if she was telling you not to touch the stove, but you would not believe her until you actually touched it and felt its unforgiving scar. That scar, you see, you feel and you don't forget, you don't blame the scar for that pain, and you don't think it just can be told to improve, and become different than what it is. The scars that have changed this country, remain, and are deeper than ever, some scars and burns are recent enough that when we look at them, we know, it was us that did this.

It was not that long ago, that we had such demeaning issues at the core of the USA, no one would have ever believed that a man of color, could be in the house that deserves and commands the respect of the entire world. It was not that long ago, that we did treat women, children, and races outside the look of white as second class citizens. These people are not just historic figures, they are still alive today, the can still share their stories and we don't shove them aside to appease ourselves. We don't pretend that the scar inflicted surely doesn't flinch, each and every time, if feels like might-or- we hit it over and over and over.

Isn't it enough to accomplish this --great country? Just to be here at all.... to sit in the arms of chairs where great men have sat, and know you are one of them. Not one of them was perfect, not one of them was loved by every man or every woman, and not one of them escaped the suffering inflicted so cruelly as to those who put themselves in public office, and fight for the people on the front lines of the public newspaper's, and now the instant messages of the Internet, and the ghastly comments sludging their way across the public forums , where real information meets, the crime of yellow journalism. Not unlike the youth in our military that enlist for the punishment of discipline in honor of our beloved flag, and its rights?

When will it be enough to know that it is our hope that keeps us alive? And that no matter what they do it, with what ever evil words they utter, or promises to hurt us, or destroyed places it is not but our own choice the leads us to our destiny. It is our money that we print, is still our greatest triumph of our men and women that brought us thus far, nothing can take away the good things that have transpired from the greatest of tribulations, we have filtered through some of the best and finest achievements, with beautiful and intelligent people from all over the world. It is not ours to worry about, it was not our Award that is so coveted by others, nor is it up to us to judge. This is the time to realize, some things are out of our reach, and not of our making! This might be the release we need, the exit and the escape hatch we are looking for.

Within all of us, the mind, the body, the soul, is a simple belief that we are. We come to know who we are, and that life force what ever you may call it, whispers in our ear from time to time. Those of us, who listen to it, get information divine, or information clouded from the divine with personal ego. If we only listen to our voices, we center our self in a padded cell, fit only for the safety of our personal opinions. Open the window and see, we are not really making the sun rise faster or time stop, when we have our greatest moments of control, even in our greatest achievements in science or health, no one has ever made time or space.

It is not science fiction to look at the sky and see that we are of no great size or shape in that comparison, why do we fight like we are unique? Billions of us, but we are not staring at a different moon or sky, we just have different thoughts. Different voices, this is so minute, so-- simple, and yet so dividing. Understanding , listening and loving cant change the sad truth of those that will not allow others to have their own choices for liturgy of peace.

When the sky opens up, and the stars start to fall from the sky, and all that we knew is upside down, will we blame the Nobel peace prize? Will we blame, the government, our parents, our health-care, will those that think that everyone who discouraged them in their life -- did this? When the time comes, will you be the one that doesn't know how to have faith, when it gets really scary? Those of us, who believe and stand strong, will still be here, and still be singing the songs of faith. Because some of us will aways worry , and some will aways care, and some will always panic.

What are you? What is it that you stand for? Do people look at you and say, wow, you have really done so much with your life, that you could influence others and be a catalyst for a million trillion people? I do hope so-- I hope today that you believe that you are amazing and you can be happy, in that one smile you share it makes a world of a difference.


Thanks for being a friend, I sure love you.

Good things will always prevail.

You did not think I was just going to post things I did not like did you??

 

 

Of course not, and besides, that's yesterdays news....

 

 

 

 

Top ten list of things I love!

 

 

 

10. I love getting photos in my email from relatives

 No matter what the photo is I love it!  I just love it-  Photos are great- and if you haven't heard my publisher is a great way to make real books of your favorite photos to give to friends and relatives.

 

9.  I love waking up to jazz music and coffee and pastries---nothing is better.  It can be at home or away, as long as I have a great mornings I have great days.  This is not something that can happen everyday, its got to be a day off, or a holiday, everyday would take the special out of it.  But I could get into the routine of, positive music and great coffee everyday.

 

8. I love the way old time radio makes a house feel like a home.  Listening to NPR on a Sunday, and doing chores and fixing a home cooked dinner is as charming as a home made quilt.  So many minutes not wasted, when we are doing and listening and laughing together.  If I am stuck at home at least I can listen to the same things the audience is listening to all over the world.

 

7.  I love the fragrance that certain Meyers soaps give the house.  That familiar scent of geranium,or lavender, or gingerbread gives it  that  warm cozy clean tone after housecleaning.  Like my mothers house, it invites the mind to concentrate on bigger ideas, and focus clearly on fond memories. 

 

6.  I love the way children laugh, and smile.  There is nothing to warm the heart than a face with a smile full of youth, open with opportunities, and bursting with joy.  To have that face look at you in response to your life, is priceless and genuine.  It draws on your heart, divine, nothing can erase it.

 

5.  I love a cozy car ride, lasting at least an hour to a place that means we will meet the family, we have missed for any length of time.  The car time is as fun, as the family visit.  The journey there is as fun as the journey to come home.  The visit, restores the faith in your reason for hard work, and suffering, and the stay reminds us that there is no place like home.  Relish the time together with the ones we love, it does not last forever.

 

4.  I love home made soup and bread, after a ski day, or a hard days work.  If I cant be home to cook , I can get out the slow cooker and add the ingredients to a wonderful stew or pork roast or beans.  Even the unexpected guest or friend will be satisfied when we serve from the largest pot in the house.  Left overs are good too.

 

3.  I love the moments that we pray together.  When as a family we sit and remember to thank our Lord for the life we live, and openly show our hearts to each other, praising the one that made us.  Joy is found in prayer, and so is truth.  Nothing to fear when we pray, nothing to worry, and our yoke is lifted, we are light again.  Grateful.

 

2.  I love going to school with my kids.  The whole feeling of the educational system, whether it be college, High school or a class performance.  Something is special about the effort to learn, the moments in time when hopes are heightened.

 

1. I love life!  OK--this is too hard-- I cant pick one thing.....today now, it would be -- an email from a job offer-- tomorrow it would be the affirmation of a job well done.  Later it could be  invitation to time spent having tea on a dear friends birthday, or an opening of a show for my daughter, it does change but it is not required to be or do anything, it just is.

 

I leave this open, like my heart, to new things and new beginnings, believing the best is yet to come.

I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate.
George Burns

I am so tired!! top ten : List of things I am really tired of!

Top ten list of things I am tired of! If Mr. Letterman can do it so can I-- Since met him --I cant forget- how some people just get to say and do what ever they want.

There are times when we must be able to talk and converse about rights and wrongs. I am waiting for my funny bone to kick in, but I think this is completely serious.

10. I am so tired of kids tennis shoes being more expensive than the parents shoes...

"They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me,"~Charles Barkley

9. I am so tired of people who claim to care and be great pillars of fame and society, travel , write books and have television shows---and make their claim on charity, but have no family of their own, or completely ignore the family they do. Charity starts at home. And no pets do not replace family.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.
Audrey Hepburn

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home. John Stuart Mill

8. I am tired of hearing how the world is going to end on 2012; who is taking advice from dead people? Even if it was true, even if they had all the knowledge of the Universe, and are claiming to know the secrets, what does that do for us? Another reporter that needs its source checked.

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.
Charles M. Schulz

It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
George Bernard Shaw

7. I am so tired of worrying if our Government is doing what it should. You voted for them, you pay their wages, why elect someone to just torture them? If they are not doing their jobs, they why aren't they fired? If we cant fire people or hold them responsible, then why do we even have government. I'd say that is just a mixed message make them do what they promised or hold them accountable. But don't expect miracles, people are people.

There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.
Plato

6. I am tired of totally misleading ads for food, like fast food, or restaurant chains. Why does anyone think that food can taste exactly the same--each and every time we buy it? Does anyone understand food, or how it is made or where it comes from, it is impossible to have identical results every time. I also think when the photo shows a sandwich with tons of toppings, and burgers with real tomatoes and salads with real greens and lettuces, it should be just like that photo!! WE ARE HUNGRY FOR REAL FOOD NOT PHOTOS!

Yet food is something that is taken for granted by most world leaders despite the fact that more than half of the population of the world is hungry.
Norman Borlaug

5. TIRED of seeing the biased reporting of the different major television companies, and grafted --out- internat media outlets. One station will report what another station will say, and then debate that it is true and real--news, and then interview a innocent by stander in the street for an "unbiased" opinion--useless.. If it news, it happens to you, or it is important to your life. Debating the right to call people liars, and or judging someone by their lack of honesty is a newsworthy item, but if no one ever wins, agrees or makes a point worth listening to-- then we are soapboxing, and using the media for our own toy.

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven

Mark Twain

4. I am sooo tired of the super rich being touted as our saviors, that is not to say that money wont save you to some extent--YOUR OWN MONEY, but why should someone elses money save us? Honestly- it would never be enough-to save me !
~Oprah cant save us, no she cant, and neither can Warren Buffet or Bill Gates. They cant buy us anything but the proverbial stairway to heaven. It is easier to spend other peoples money, and credit cards are just another way of begging for loans we really cant afford, like kids driving fancy cars but living at home--dont judge people by the car they drive! And living the life of a Rock star seems soo fun- don't forget there is no job security there, and do not get old. ( okay- I dont know anything about this- but what I MEAN IS--"ITS A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANT TO ROCK-N-ROLL", or I just feel for them, its a life--that you probably have to deal with ALOT! the Fame deal) If you think that -- someone elses life and money-- is better than yours, and you insist on knowing what other people make, and obtaining mass amounts of money-- I do hope YOU are prepared to save the world, and not act un-american, or even think about--opening a school, because you will be judged and asked to do for everyone and tell all how you did it, and publish the "secret" to your success--well does that make any sense? NO! Super rich people aren't saviors they aren't "super--friends" and money did not transform them into supernatural beings of light and knowledge. Once you become super rich you do not become God. I bet most of them are hermits.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
Warren Buffett

3. I am very sick and tired of hearing that we are all getting sick, and dying. Guess what, we are all going to have to live our life andwe will get sick, and one day- die. We do and eat-and work, and yes there will be germs. If you have not learned by now, to wash your hands, and not spread germs, you have only one excuse, you are a baby. Only infants can't know this, the rest of us, no matter what our intelligence level we are at, can understand we will get sick, and it will effect some worse than others. Healthy lifestyles are going to be better than not healthy ones, we dont need to use fear mongering to keep us from traveling, eating out, or going to group activities. The worst plagues on earth have yet to do much to make a dent in the population. Without illness' our immune systems do not get stronger, and worry will not protect you.

We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.
Deepak Chopra

Pay attention to your body. The point is everybody is different. You have to figure out what works for you.
Andrew Weil

2. I am sick to death of the ads on TV, that show --older couples who are old enough to know that sex should be private, but they still insist on telling us that cant do it, and take expensive--drugs to make it happen, and then sell it to me---. They make it look like you can buy love, or sex, or happiness, and it just the other year or two ago, it was disgusting to refer to mens body parts, now its ok to talk about anything! Not to mention the details of what to watch out for if the drug goes wrong, what makes this ok? And we cant look at breasts on the Superbowl but we can learn about what happens to old men?

First you forget names, then you forget faces. Next you forget to pull your zipper up and finally, you forget to pull it down.
George Burns

1. I am really tired of political extremists trying to make me think like they do--stop punishing me for things I never did!

Idealists are foolish enough to throw caution to the winds. They have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.
Emma Goldman

If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself.
Charles M. Schulz

cookies for sale--what shape are you in?

Reporters thrive on the world's misfortune. For this reason they often take an indecent pleasure in events that dismay the rest of humanity.
Russell Baker


I am giving up on the news.

I have already given up on Television, and thought I could escape the non-news by just picking the good news from the internet....but this is no longer a choice is it???...Everywhere I go on the net now I have to get "headlines" What is this --Headline news? I see a photo, and then a little line, like--Father shaves daughters head,...in jail, then, I click on it, and think--why did I care? Now you see ads and pages of words and somewhere on your window it shows you this tiny tidbit of information, you thought--- well you can just peek in for a minute and see what the hullabaloo is all about. But then you cringe at the thought that you fell for it, its not even much more than a few lines, and all it does is make you wonder, since when does stuff like this make my personal in box? No wonder it takes me forever to just look at my email. My email, my "public" email gets hundreds a day, granted from facebook, but also from news and media and who knows what else, spammers, people who know my name, but I don't know them! A person could get paranoid if they wanted to! Alas, I am not that-- popular, and even though it is easily downloaded it is even more easily deleted. Yea, I do love the mass deletion methods, and often cheer myself on as I delete a hundred or so at a time....weeeeeeeeee.

Remember when Email was just---plain as can be? Remember when it had three things on it? Inbox, send and trash, what happened? I don't know how they managed to get advertisements and stationary, and applications, and folders, and what is this, an INSTANT MESSAGE ?!! Now I cant even read my email, because someone is talking to me---help! I don't believe in information over load for adults, I know we can handle it. But I thought these advanced Microsoft, cisco, att, yahoo people invented "spam" filters, and you know what-- if I did not put it there, it is spam. If I don't want ads, because I pay--good money for this ridiculously --hoodwinked --inbox, then why do even see ads? Or headlines? Today, I have a whole new inbox! It is like they are punishing me! Remember when it was fun, well guess what-- WE ARE IN CONTROL WE HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING AND NOW YOU HAVE NOTHING!!! HAHAH
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1Nkvs3Bgpo
that is what it reminds me of-- I tasted what I was not supposed to. And now....

Yahoo, and ABC and CNN and headline news---all those reporters and up loaders might think that people want to know the sorted ugly---details of every ones hardships, but in fact we would be much better off NOT KNOWING other peoples business!!!! It used to be just the tabloids that spread the downfall of others, has celebrity gossip given into reality--gossip? By Jove....

I might theorize that now that we have the "economic disaster", it is the fault of the internet! I believe that this bad-reporting of evil and garbage has been a catalyst for the internet spawned thoughts that we can say and do what ever we want on cyber space and no one gets hurt, no one needs to know , and no one spells it right, so hey it doesn't even count right? It used to be that--celebrities were celebrated, Presidents were presidential, parties were fun, and news was weather, sports and current updates on things to do in your home town. The common news used to be that no one carried on like a bunch of teenagers commenting on the lives of others. By selling us this mixed media--of sales, gossip, insults, right -wing left wing---"terrorist" lables......feeding us the cookies for bait, and we take it ----they are stealing our freedoms, by stomping on our pursuit of happiness. We have the right to choose our own way of life, it does not always fit into right or left, or white or black or conservative or liberal, we are not insulted by this jargon, we are make to suffer for it. We are dumber for believing it. It is not any different than going to be vaccinated for being stupid, there is not one injection of information that can give you what you need, you can't buy it or sell it or get it quickly, we have to learn to learn, re-learn, re--invent, and keep moving forward.

My generation, we believed what our parents told us, but while we were touring the factory, we got thirsty, we were curious, and we have drunk the fizzy lifting drinks and now what-- we are stuck in the top of the fan, and trying our damnedest to back out of the problems, by sheer force.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKG07305CBs

well its kinda like that-- because--we think we can just do what ever we want and no one notices, because then it hits the fan.... and we realize, that we opened that bottle, we had fun, but at what price? In the movies we find little anecdotes that help us to relate to real world issues, but nothing is as strange as real life. We only wish we could just turn off the political machine, but we can not. We only dream that we can make things better with a bottle of bubbles, as alcoholic as that sounds, its not too far from the truth. Pandora's box, is a great myth, or is it? When do we go too far with words? I say, it is when all we read and say, has such threats of harm and insults of cruelty that our imagination need not be used, then we have forgotten our agreement with civilization. When did it become normal for people to wage war against the people who disagree with us? Well, it seems fitting that the same people who just went to war, sold us a war, and based it on something that proved to be untrue, is now waging a war on those that disagreed with the alternative to war in the first place. Madness!

Being sucked into the reality of the American blender, leaves us all, dead. we should some of us, remain grounded, stay focused and not I repeat not, enjoy the ride.
( and those that insist on getting into the mixer...well)

We at the bottom of the barrel, dream of a better life, by opening the up the bottle of change and drinking in the tiny bubbles, making us drunk with freedom and hope, while we clearly know, we will never escape the grind of harsh realities. At the top, the blender is still spinning faster than ever, and mixing, adding people and words, and color and fat, sex and sugar, and it will never end. Not by the force of our human hands, it will rely on someone to turn off the mixing machine, and decide to stop making money off the products they sell.

BUT---If that was true, if it only takes someone to stop selling us the cookie cutter life, when will we stop buying it?





ps-- they took away my spell check too!! MUTANY!! HAL!!

Another beautiful day-

I cant prove to you that it is --
I know it is


Its a good day to start over--
I cant prove to you that it is

I know it is...

Perfect day to be happy for your fellow person, give generously and know that the troubles will pass. I cant prove it, I know it is.

How do we know anything, because it is the constant pattern of things, we know things happen and we know we will get through it. We may think that we need proof of everything, but that is never the only way. I cant prove to you, that I am anything, and I cant even believe that you would want me to prove it to you, I know am , and that is enough.

Since the days of Aristotle, we have pondered the great myths and stories of the Universe. We are the ones on this earth to be here now, but are there any explanations as to what is out there, do we begin to grasp the vast information yet to be known from the unlimited untapped universal realm? Those who know, say, that the next world to be discovered, is microscopic.

And if you wanted to really think, evolution from Darwin, you would give him the information we have now, that he never knew, DNA. Darwin --as it is quoted by the highest professors of the Universities listed in the documentary " no intelligence allowed" thought of the first cell to be compared with a Buick, in his time, where as today, it is the space shuttle.


I hope you don't demand, Proof that is all I can say, every time i see someone say, I don't believe, and then I say what would it take for you to believe then, that thing they said--well-- it happens! And they still don't believe...

Look at the great stories of children, it is just so basic, we love children because they learn with fluidity. They also see, and feel with great sensitivity, and we train them to become "worldly".

Did you ever see the Polar Express? Did you love it or hate it?

Did you ever see, Contact? well?

Ever wondered why adults like scary movies, and cult type films about the dark side?

Do you see, parallels in Star Wars to the great Mythological stories?

What are you waiting for?
What is even better, is the supernatural ability becomes apparent to those who only truly believe.

Some say.......I don't believe in --Santa...or do I, because there was one. I don't believe in --Church, or do I because the Saints and Martyrs might tell a different story... or say you don't believe, it doesn't make me want to change you, it worries me what will come your way --and force you to change.

I believe I am always divinely guided, I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit, and I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son.

Please--don't take my word for it, go to a web site that is all about people who believe. Stories like mine, thousands of them, people with the most amazing stories--that may or may not change your mind, you have to prove it to yourself.
http://www.guideposts.com/story/mysterious-ways-trapped-beneath-tractor

May your day be so blessed that you remember, life is so precious, that you are a blessing to others.

LOVE and hope --

shot me straight from the heart

It is raining here today, the sun shines above the clouds, and I don't miss it. The soft sound of the rain, settles the spirit after such a hot summer, I am listening also to my NPR radio station, and pondering the speech about our economy. Chris rests in his own bed, safe and dry, while my other two kids are in school. Steve has my car and I am grateful, for his car's tires made me skid this am, I like the first rain, and the skidding tires.

XP

The quiet house, needs me to tend to it, but I spend time sipping coffee, and checking on my friends on Face book. I chat with my Dad in Texas, we check in and I look forward to that each morning. My Father likes to make sure I am doing ok each day, I like to do the same for him. After I am done I switch back to FB, and I make little comments, likes, and I even return a prayer to my Auntie in Washington I don't think I have seen in 7 years. I feel close to her that she sends me notes, and it warms my heart that she took the time to care and send me this little image and words.

It is a powerful pull, the need to be close to those we love it binds us together, and feeds our heart and soul. Looking at photos of my family helps me to feel close too, I love it when I get those little emails that I spend more time looking at the photos, than I do reading the words. Even those emails forwarded with photos that they did not take, but have adorable animals doing silly and fun things, I like that ! I don't mind that at all! Laughter really is the best medicine; distractions of joy, are worth it.

I like it when I get to read about stories that people put their heart into, and I am most impressed with those professionals that have busy careers, and travel and have almost no time, but manage to find the moments to write a blog. I love personal stories that transform us to live better, be ourselves and does not condemn others. I am grateful to read blogs, and see the comments and I know that is a safe way to connect online.

I could blog, and chat and email, and write all day long, I like to write, and would like to make a living writing. I need to make a better living at it, and have at least two books that need to get published. I self publish, but would love the sales from an order that would transeform my life and enable me to start a business and help others to do the same. I am a chicken admittedly-I hope to grow out of that image and turn myself into, a writer, and unabashed. I have so much to do, and accomplish, and I find that everyday is a new challenge, and in meeting those challenges I am much happier when I can unwind at the end of the day with good food, friends, and music.

Conversations at dinner always make us laugh, and I look forward to some plans this fall of a Festive Halloween party, and outside dinning and music. Libations, and costumes are optional.

I hope to start to close the gaps, in my connections with my teens, that prove to be a constant distraction from my own schedule and money making skills, and reduce my ability to find excuses to let time go by without making the progress I have to make. Pray good things for me today, if you will, I can tell when my friends and family are praying for me. My life is so much better, and I even feel better. I will be praying to God for you, be well, and keep in touch.

Blogs are easy, you can make one, email is quick I'd love to get one from you, and photos are fun, so, go ahead-- make my day-- shot me a photo.

Love Always,

great Job!

I will say it, Great JOB

 

I am really not going to buy into the painful arguments that the people unhappy with Obama are touting, because, I remember what they taught me, to be patriotic, to put out my flag and never forget ! I am an American, and I have to be proud of my country.  Even if I don't like a war that has cost BILLIONS for the past * years * (but started back way back) that has bankrupt our small business' and our public schools, and our ability to be considered a free country.    I mean, I am really happy now we have put on trial a leader of a country that would kill his own people for not being true to his army and his personal beliefs, and use oil as a weapon, and  we freed the Iraqi  women, now they can vote, and wear jeans*, and live like the Awesome people they are!  

 They love us now..., we learned a whole new language from a president who made words up, and that's OK, and we can even just laugh at the press and laugh at the people and say-- with a Texas, drawl, Y'er Jist Gonna Have ta Trust me on this...So I learned to trust, because if I did not, my president passed a little --thing, its just this little itty bitty--thing, well its called and AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION,     called THE PATRIOT ACT, and well, it takes away my right to privacy, and it can put me in a Federal Prison for being very un-American-like --and  even if I wanted to try to protect myself , it would not matter, because my phones can be tapped, and even my mail can be read, I don't have the right to a fair and speedy trial either, and any person without a citizenship can and will be deported during any crime investigation( or interrogation ) -- we are guilty-- before we are innocent  ....Well, isn't that nice.

 

I listen to a whole lot more comedy now, because when  comedians can do the president better than he does, its time to get with the program.  When SNL can do political advertising for both sides and the woman who is portraying herself, doesn't even know she is condemning herself, and still blame the  media, well- the   -world is really watching...I was watching I was laughing, I was rewinding, I was posting I was thinking this is too good to be true! 

 

 Joe Rogan, is a comedian and he does some great stand up, he made some great comments on how dumb we are getting, and how we don't really even know how dumb we really are!  Well-  its an adult show, and I don't recommend it over Obamas Speech today, as far as --inspiring kids, but for inspiration for adults you can count on some belly laughs.  Why is everyone so wound up for hating Obama, I posted a "good job" on face-book today, and people I don't even know, thought it was a good time to post comments like-- " He just is such a phony- " Ironic that he talks about-- false identities"--Weird, because -- he never said that-- and I know -- I said I wanted him to compel kids off of myspace and facebook and computers, but he was perfect in his delivery of what was -- a great- speech to help kids know more about where his heart is, and what he wants for them to focus on, what is so wrong with that? 

 

Did one kid ask about Universal Medicine?  yes ``that little outspoken @#$%,  did  have a question pop out ,---from the mouth of a babes!  We wonder where they learn such behavior...I can hear my daughter, --"blaming the child and lie and shame, you know exactly who's to blame..the mother and the father.....ompa loompa"  I said take me down the rabbit hole!

 

 

I think that it would be great if we could have affordable health care, not just for babies without parents, or teens without parents, or the elderly or the disabled, but for anyone who wants to contribute part or some of their wages, just like we do for our jobs,  even for those who really don't have jobs, or money, they too can find care. PGE and E has affordable "care" opportunites, for everyone to pay a little at time.  

 

Shouldn't health care be as essential, as the rest of our minimal needs.  In Redding if you cant pay your city of redding bill, you are evicted from your own house, even if you own it!!  WOW-- what is the thinking there?  You cant afford  to poop, or shower,   so out on the street, to do it---on someone else's dime....In California its a law, you have to have car insurance, and you have to have insurance against someone whos not insured, but if they dont have it, --then how can  you get money-- PEOPLE we pay for those who arent insured already--why not make them at least pay a minimal -- my AAA wants me to pay-- for medical Insurance...through my car insurance for someone else if I hit them....WHAT THE HELL?  What about me?  Okay, I worked for years and they took money from my check and when I needed my insurance, UNITED HEALTH CARE, that gets money from the worlds largest compaines, who funds the uninsured, cancelled my insurance, they wanted to sue my employer...Insurance is a scam, I am paying to not get sick I am paying to not hit someone, I am paying to live in a house, and have the right to pay for my Mortgage, but if I need anything from them-- they dont care=-~

 

When will anyone regulate the money given to these insurance companies?  I bought into the world of work and pay and take care of me...No one in NY Corpprate Co. cares.....about the little guy-- down in California---It's time, to really see--People are worth it! And we can do it with style-- we could have nurses in Schools again, and they could help with kids, we should have dentists at school!  Teach kids how to brush  We could really rethink so many things, and would it really be so bad?  I remember my school nurse room, it was a haven for the bruised child, no matter what happened at school, I could always count on my nurse.  Adults, should think about that----

 

 Our cities and states, offer care for those in fires, for those who are criminals, for those who are working for the state or the city, those of us, that dont work for the government would also like to benefit from our taxes.  Now we know the government already knows our personal information, they have access to any information, and if you think that its new that the IRS knows your detailed and sorted life, wake up!  Don't pay taxes, and you will not be forgotten, you will have a brand new understanding of  Federal care.    We pay for plenty, with our jobs, with our taxes, with our lives, our children and our ancestors.  Our families are here because they fought hard to be here , we are proud to say that, but the truth is, not everyone can fight.  Not everyone should fight, and you know what-- maybe we should start fighting germs and leave other people alone, we might actually get somewhere.

 

If we say good job, it should not be for -- fighting, it might be best for us, to working towards a new way of thinking.

 

I want to remind everyone of the reality of the song that I heard in a dream, it was May 1 2001, and I remember the little boy with a huge gun, he stood over the body of an American Soldier  he had just shot down dead, and he looked up to me, while the dirty orange sand swirled in the dry wind all around us, he sang this song to me....

 

How can you just walk away, when you just shot and killed someone?

How can you look at me and say that isn't wrong?

 How can you just walk away, when you just shot and killed someone, ' How can you say your bringing the peace, when you have to have that gun,

How can you say your helping me, when you just shot and killed someone?

How can you lie to me and say that isn't wrong.

How can you just walk away when you just shot and killed someone....

 

 

cant we just stop and think, are we killing someone with behavior we think is peaceful and yet is not? , Walk together and sing, lets not shoot down our people, or their people, lets listen to the children, and sing their songs, of freedom...

 

Great Job Obama, take charge with words of inspiration, dont kill us with ego.
