1. Be a student of life. Learn something new every day. The day you stop learning is the day you begin to become obsolete. Never stop learning. 2. None of us is Perfect. The sooner you know this in your heart, the sooner you can start being excellent. Begin every morning fresh and ready for whatever challenges await you. Try harder than you did the day before. Never give up. You can achieve that which seemed impossible. 3. Play the hand…
http://www.hersfoundation.com/anatomy/index.html I hope every woman will watch this wonderful video. It may save your uterus and or ovaries.? We need our organs.? Do not let a physician tell you that you do not need them. I spent years and years looking for a doctor who would understand my desire to keep my body intact. My ovarian cyst started almost 15 years ago. At first it was small and the radiologist who gave me a sonogram to see how big it…
Are you scared to death about your finances? Have you wondered if you can hang on until things get better? Rejoice! It is going to be OK. Negative thinking can upset your chances of overcoming fear and financial woes. So much of success depends on your belief in a loving Universe. One thing about the current economic state of the country during the last two years is that it seems to be almost Universal. In a way that is almost…
What are you expecting from the Government bailout program? Are you expecting money deposited in your bank by some mythical program? There is only one person who can make your bank account grow fast and it is you.? You are so powerful, but when you start to believe the media about how tough times are you lose hope.? You let fear and negative thinking trip you up and keep you from moving forward into a wonderful world awaiting you. You…
Do you sometimes feel that things will just never work out for you? Do you worry that you are reaching an age where no more good things will happen? And whose fault do you think that is? It is the fault of your own attitude. Where did that attitude come from?? Is there truth in it? Or are you just saying and feeling and believing something that you heard in childhood? Have you ever thought about just where your ideas…
I wish that Bill Gates had said these 11 rules children should know about life, because it sort of “fits” what many of us feel about him. ?However it was actually originally written in a longer article by Charles J. Sykes author of Dumbing Down Our Kids, why American children feel good about themselves but can’t read, write or add. It is here for your edification and enjoyment. It seems to me that it should be passed around until someone…
I just read a post at http://tinyurl.com/2c2w2z6 by Jennifer Margulis about standing up to a new dentist and refusing to have her child’s teeth x-rayed. I support her decision 100%. It is terrible that the people we trust: doctors dentists and even nurses sometimes, do not know about the harm they sometimes do in following protocols. Years ago we got plenty of radiation from different places. Not only am I old enough to remember when EVERY single shoe store had…
I recently read a wonderful aritlce describing how everything is sacred. There is no profane in nature. This struck such a chord in me that I wanted to share it immediately. As I write this rain is pooring. I hear the background noise and it is welcome. We have had such a drought lately. Nature always seems to tend to her own though. It seems people complain constantly about the weather. I have heard this over for more than half…
Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. When something is distasteful to us we can blow it out of all proportion. Whether it is the passage of a health bill that does not say anything about health or a family squabble, the truth is life will go on. We will find ways to adapt. It is up to us. How we handle adversity depends solely on us. We can stir up the pot, raise our blood pressure predict all sorts…
What is honesty? What is truth? Are we supposed to stay silent when we see wrongs worsening and people ignoring all of them while they sit and watch TV? It frightens me that Americans (that is an old fashioned word, I guess) are so caught up in their comforts or lack of comforts if they are in financial trouble, that they do not notice that they are losing their freedom. Television is a drug taken by the vast majority of…
The following commentary was written as an answer to an article about birthing at home versus hospital birth.? They characterized home birth as being less safe.? OBGmanagement.com had the article online. I decided to put my response on my blog because it may stir up some controversy and make people think.? That is what I want more than anything. If I can help encourage people to think for themselves that is the most I can ask. I don’t care so…
My friend Kathryn wrote to me to say, “I just read a great quote which, of course!, I had to share with you: Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself. ~Harvey S. Firestone I agree. That is a great quote for anyone, man or woman. I wish more people lived by it. But it is sometimes really difficult to define oneself when under the…
I have been told that ACOG has asked people to send them stories of home births gone wrong. I would like to see women send them stories of hospital births gone wrong.? There are a lot more of those to tell about. Women have become such “sheep” when it comes to birth that they allow all sorts of improprieties in the name of “hospital protocols” and they do not complain except to each other afterward.? It is wrong. But until…
Please do your research before you begin to panic over the misinformation being put out abut the Swine Flu. There are so many sites that tell the truth. I am not sure why the press is trying so hard to frighten us.? But they are.? So don’t buy it, check it out for yourselves. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/10/24/CBS-Reveals-that-Swine-Flu-Cases-Seriously-Overestimated.aspx
Someone asked me recently when they saw me with a new haircut, if I was “accepting” old age.? That seemed a strange comment at the time.? I knew I looked vibrant and alive and happy.? The shorter hair cut was extremely flattering and chic. So I was puzzled but wanted to answer kindly.? I said ” That doesn’t sound quite right.” and I paused and thought about it for a minute. Suddenly the correct word just popped into my head…
