Do we REALLY know another?

Do we really get to know another human being? Do we? I mean, REALLY! Even married couples say that they don't really know their spouse. Is our life so busy that we don't even know our spouse? Or our family, or friends, or associates, or... the list goes on. This great internet thing- is it a help or a hindrance to real communication? Some serious questions to ponder. I am going to visit my mom- I REALLY know her! Then I am going to call my children, I believe I REALLY know them! The reason is that my mom raised me, and I raised my children- maybe they are the ONLY ones I REALLY know, but at least I know that! I know that I know that I know! Know what I mean?

Finally Rain

We finally have some rain here in Colorado- it was so dry that people say we are in a drought again- I believe it. I know it sounds odd to write about the weather, but this is serious. The fire danger is high, so we are thankful for any rain we can get! It reminds me of my grandmother, who used to study the weather like the Bible. She knew when each and every storm was coming in before any of the weathercasters on the radio or TV. She just "knew" what was going to happen before it actually did. She could actually feel it or smell it. Rain was her favorite, just because it is so good for the earth, Mother Earth. No amount of watering is as good as the rain, she always said. Thanks for the weather report, Grandma!

Are Friends Friendly?

Friends: the greatest people we know, or are they? Isn't everyone only interested in their own agenda? Are they friends only because it benefits them? Are we friends to others only to get benefits for ourselves? Do we really love our friends, or do we just tolerate them? Really, quite honestly, if you have one TRUE friend, you are very lucky, if you have two, you are blessed! Always BE the friend you want, and you will always HAVE the friends you want... be friendly and you will never lack friends. Sometimes this is easier to say than do, I know, but it is well worth it! A friend is one of life's little joys, so enjoy!

HOT, HOT, HOT

It is HOT! The weather as well as the feelings! Everyone seems to be feeling frisky lately, things are getting done, even the price of gas is coming down! Midsummer is here and in full fun fling! BBQ's & Pool Parties are happening, we are all socializing up a storm! I love it! Great food, great friends, great times! Networking groups abound, ice cream socials seem to be making a mild comeback, but what I have noticed most is the online social networking really getting heated up lately. Check out Twitter, for a fun example. They are in the news and also on Youtube. Meet new friends online for business, fun, and keeping in touch, kind of like online pen pals. I have been twittering for a few months now, or is it tweeting? Come on in, the water is fine!

Time to do the Detox Rock & Roll

Yea! The heat is on! Time to do the detox rock! And roll- get rid of the roll! You know, around the middle... Spring is a good time to detox, but midsummer is the best time! Especially if you missed the "spring cleaning," like I did. The heat will help the toxins roll off your body, use all the help you can get! The fat and toxins build up during the long winter months, then they can be slow to come off, until now- NOW is the time! Just be sure to also help this process with lots of water! Drink anywhere from 1-4 liters a day, and you will see a change in your shape, as well as how you feel- you will feel lighter, and BE lighter! Of course, purified water is better, and pure mineral water is best! Here's a toast to detox with pure water!

Capricorn Full Moon

Happy Cappy Full Moon! May all your lofty dreams come true! Capricorn is my sign and also my personality. (Some people are bullish, some are bearish, I am Goatish, haha) This is a great full moon if you go outside and look at it. Last night it was under the clouds, and only came out for a few seconds at a time, but it was magnificent! It will make you feel like a million bucks! You may even be transformed! Try an air bath or a hot tub under the full moon, or even camping out all night! It will be unforgettable!

We are ALL in this together!

Yes, we are all in this world together! We are all experiencing the rise in gas prices, as well as the fall in the stock market. The wave of the future coming over us and the nostalgia of the past behind us. I say let us unite! Lets get together and intend what we want, say what we desire and GET IT! Nevermind who is running for president, WE are running the USA! Who is working today? US! Who is voting? US! Who is actually running this show? ACT like it, then! Don't hire illegals if you don't want them overpopulating our country and using/abusing our services that we can't get, because they are overwhelming the systems. Don't eat at the junk food places, don't buy the food that is shipped in from wherever- eat local! Buy local, and hire local- is that so difficult?

The Doctor of the Future

The future is now! Time to give Thomas Edison more credit where credit is due- he was, of course a genius inventor, but he was also a futurist!
"The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
We are now at the point in our future that FINALLY patients are starting to be interested in their health and wellbeing, it has been one of our most difficult tasks to INTEREST the patients in their own health! Still lots of work to do, of course, but people are starting to get it!

Olympics in 1 Month on 8-8-8

Today is 7-8-8, in 1 month, the Olympics begin in China. The Chinese picked 8-8-8 for the Olympics because they consider the 8 as the luckiest number, three 8's are triple lucky! Yes, numerology again, but chinese numerology is a little different, just like chinese new year is on a different day than our new year. Chinese astrology is also slightly different, based on animals for the signs. Since 8 is the lucky number of this year (2008), it is everyone's lucky number~ especially for money! It is recommended that to attract money, put a number 8 in your wallet. Try it, what do you have to lose?

7-7 Today

Today is 7-7... Lucky 7's! No, I didn't buy a lottery ticket! I mean lucky in the way of numerology. Last year, it was even better~ 7-7-7! The planets even lined up on this day last year! This year, we have a totally different cycle with 7-7-8. There are two groups of Lucky Numbers: those that stay with you all your life, and another set of numbers that changes at regular intervals, in a pattern based on certain cycles found in your personal numerology chart. Some change every calendar year, others change every month or every day, and some change with each birth day, many numbers, in particular the daily Lucky Numbers, follow a rhythmic pattern. This is because those numbers are derived in part from certain yearly, monthly, and daily cycles in your personal chart which also appear in a predictable rhythm; much like the seasons and other cyclical events in nature. Enjoy today!

I Make Miracles Every Day!

We ALL are able to make miracles every day! I remember when I was little, a miracle was something so rare, that I thought I would never in my life see one. Then, I saw one! What a revelation that was! Then, even more rare, (or so I thought) were miracles happening that I made!!! I thought only Jesus (or GOD) could make miracles! I noticed the miracles that others made, and after years of being in the presence of miracles happening everywhere, I now KNOW we are all miracle makers~ all we need to do is desire a miracle and it is ours! Think back on anything you desired with all your heart, did it find a way of manifesting for you? You made a miracle! Miracles actually happen every day, you and I make miracles every day! "What I desire, I must first imagine. What I imagine I create."-Michaelangelo-

Happy 232 Birthday, USA! May the FOURTH be with you!

This is America's 232nd Birthday! Happy Birthday and Happy Freedom & Independence Day to us (US). As the song goes, I AM Proud to be an American! In fact I AM Blessed to be an American! I LOVE AMERICA! I LOVE FREEDOM! We are ONE NATION under GOD! We have the freedom to be, do or have anything we desire. America is the ONLY Free Country in the world! If you don't think so, go somewhere else and TRY to be free! Long may Our Flag Wave ***=== (***=== is the internet shorthand for the Stars & Stripes) May the FOURTH be with you!

This is a true story that speaks the truth about how freedom is NOT free:

What ever happened to the Brave Men Who Signed The Declaration of Independence???
Posted July 4th, 2008 by Jdayh Declaration of Independence Facts
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed
the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the
British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their
homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the
Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56
fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor. What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine
were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well educated.
But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well
that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton
of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from
the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay
his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the
British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He
served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding.
His possessions were taken from him,and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Rutledge, and Middleton. At the battle of
Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr, noted that the British General Cornwallis
had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged
General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and
Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties
destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few
months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was
dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his
gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in
forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a
broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution.
These were not wild-eyed, rabble- rousing ruffians. They were
soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they
valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they
pledged: "For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on
the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each
other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." They gave you
and me a free and independent America. The history books never told
you a lot about what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't
fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own
government! Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but
we shouldn't. So,take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July
holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for
the price they paid. Remember: Freedom is never free! It's time we get
the word out that patriotism is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July has
more to it than beer, picnics, and baseball games.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom; go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.- Samuel Adams
