A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water

I'm sending this to the many women in my life - old girlfriends, women friends, women I met at various phases in my life, and family.

TAKE TIME TO READ.....  and hope you enjoy as much as I did

A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'...

She fooled them all .... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile. 

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "And that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night ... Pick them up tomorrow.

1  Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

2  Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

3  Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

4  Drive carefully ... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

5  If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

6  If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

7  It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

8  Never buy a car you can't push.

9  Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

10  Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

11  Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

12  The second mouse gets the cheese.

13  When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

14  Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

16  Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

17  We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

18  A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

19  Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

20 Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate!

Today someone asked me if I liked you. I laughed, and I said, "Ha! That's funny!! I absolutely LOVE that woman!! She's funny, caring, crazy as heck, sweet, beautiful, she's reading this email right now & I love her!!"

Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says~~ "Oh Crap, She's up!" 

Chemtrails, Nanoaluminum and Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Effects By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D. April 18, 2012

Chemtrails, Nanoaluminum and Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Effects
By Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
April 18, 2012

The Internet is littered with stories of “chemtrails” and geoengineering to combat “global warming” and until recently I took these stories with a grain of salt. One of the main reasons for my skepticism was that I rarely saw what they were describing in the skies. But over the past several years I have notice a great number of these trails and I have to admit they are not like the contrails I grew up seeing in the skies. They are extensive, quite broad, are laid in a definite pattern and slowly evolve into artificial clouds. Of particular concern is that there are now so many­dozens every day are littering the skies.


 

My major concern is that there is evidence that they are spraying tons of nanosized aluminum compounds. It has been demonstrated in the scientific and medical literature that nanosized particles are infinitely more reactive and induce intense inflammation in a number of tissues. Of special concern is the effect of these nanoparticles on the brain and spinal cord, as a growing list of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease and Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS) are strongly related to exposure to environmental aluminum.

Nanoparticles of aluminum are not only infinitely more inflammatory, they also easily penetrate the brain by a number of routes, including the blood and olfactory nerves (the smell nerves in the nose). Studies have shown that these particles pass along the olfactory neural tracts, which connect directly to the area of the brain that is not only most effected by Alzheimer’s disease, but also the earliest affected in the course of the disease. It also has the highest level of brain aluminum in Alzheimer’s cases.

The intranasal route of exposure makes spraying of massive amounts of nanoaluminum into the skies especially hazardous, as it will be inhaled by people of all ages, including babies and small children for many hours. We know that older people have the greatest reaction to this airborne aluminum. Because of the nanosizing of the aluminum particles being used, home filtering system will not remove the aluminum, thus prolonging exposure, even indoors.

In addition to inhaling nanoaluminum, such spraying will saturate the ground, water and vegetation with high levels of aluminum. Normally, aluminum is poorly absorbed from the GI tract, but nanoaluminum is absorbed in much higher amounts. This absorbed aluminum has been shown to be distributed to a number of organs and tissues including the brain and spinal cord. Inhaling this environmentally suspended nanoaluminum will also produce tremendous inflammatory reaction within the lungs, which will pose a significant hazard to children and adults with asthma and pulmonary diseases.

I pray that the pilots who are spraying this dangerous substance fully understand that they are destroying the life and health of their families as well. This is also true of our political officials. Once the soil, plants and water sources are heavily contaminated there will be no way to reverse the damage that has been done.

Steps need to be taken now to prevent an impending health disaster of enormous proportions if this project is not stopped immediately. Otherwise we will see an explosive increase in neurodegenerative diseases occurring in adults and the elderly in unprecedented rates as well as neurodevelopmental disorders in our children. We are already seeing a dramatic increase in these neurological disorders and it is occurring in younger people than ever before.

Note from Martini: If you have read this article by Dr. Russell Blaylock you now know how serious it is.  If its not stopped, there is no going back as he states.  I know through grassroots efforts this can be published everywhere, to the military, pilot organizations and all members of Congress,etc. 

We are being poisoned  so many ways, and there is no place to hide.  See Dr. Blaylock's pilot alert on aspartame  as well.    http://www.mpwhi.com/pilot_aspartame_alert.htm Note how many pilots died on American within a short time from aspartame, as reported by Captain Fred Fox, our representative for Aviation safety.  There are a lot of FAA people on our lists who warn pilots with this alert,  as well as  consumers and activists and now we want to add the above article to get to even more pilots.  Many have their own networks.   When I fly I make copies including the FDA list of 92 symptoms not only for all the pilots but also flight attendants.  You can even ask the attendants if the pilots are using it.  I say, "if they are using it I'm out of here".  Your life is in the hands of the pilots!

Dr. Blaylock is a world renowned neurosurgeon, retired from Neurosurgey to devote his full attention to nutritional studies and research.  An in-demand guest for radio and TV programs, he lectures extensively to both lay audiences and physicians on nutrition-related subjects.  He is the 2004 recipient of the Integrity in Science Award granted by the Weston A Price Foundation and serves on the editorial staff of the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association and is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, the official publication of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. 

I would recommend everyone read his brochures "Bio Terrorism:  How You Can Survive" and "Nuclear Sunrise".  He is also a specialist in bio terrorism.   http://www.blaylockwellnesscenter.com/

Don't stop forwarding this article.  The pilots and their families as well as those on the ground must be saved.   Send it to everyone you know and those who can network it further.  This insanity must stop.

Apologize to no one. Remind those of our sacrifice and don't confuse arrogance with leadership.

The count is 104,366 dead, brave Americans. 

And we have to watch an American elected leader who apologizes to Europe and the  Middle East that our country is "arrogant"!

HOW MANY FRENCH, DUTCH, ITALIANS, BELGIANS AND BRITS ARE BURIED ON OUR SOIL... AFTER DEFENDING US AGAINST OUR ENEMIES?

WE DON'T ASK FOR PRAISE...

BUT WE HAVE ABSOULUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE!

Americans, forward it!

Non-patriotic, delete it!

Most of the protected don't understand it.

DO THINK ABOUT THIS.

THANK YOU.

Choose from a rainbow of anti-inflammatory botanicals.

Choose from a rainbow of anti-inflammatory botanicals. The natural world has so much to offer us in the way of compounds that quiet inflammation in our bodies. Many of these are traditional medicinal foods, herbs, and spices used for centuries in the past, yet whose specific mechanisms of action biochemists are still exploring today. The study of phytotherapy is helping to bring about a whole new range of anti-inflammatory agents that more effectively target the inflammatory cascade, well upstream of where conventional NSAID’s and COX-2 inhibitors cause their damaging and unwanted side effects.

• Bioflavonoids. Also called flavones or flavonoids, this is a class of over 5000 plant chemicals that our bodies metabolize in a way that offers strong anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-allergenic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Bioflavonoids include compounds such as quercetin, epicatechin, and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s). But don’t let their long names put you off — many occur abundantly in our daily food and drink, such as in citrus fruits, vegetables, tea, cocoa and wine, to name just a few! Others are less well known, or found less widely in nature, or still waiting to be discovered. Most bioflavonoids can also be taken in supplemental form as part of a natural anti-inflammation regimen. Among the best for soothing the inflammatory cascade are quercetin, rutin, and procyanidins (OPC’s) such as those found in pine bark extract (Pycnogenol) and grape seed extract.
  
• Anti-inflammatory herbs. Aside from the large group of bioflavonoids I’ve only touched on above, many herbs have powerful anti-inflammatory actions. Here’s just a sampling.
  Boswellia (Boswellia serrata). Also known as Indian frankincense, Boswellia serrata has long been recognized in Ayurvedic medicine for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Today scientists studying extracts of boswellia report that it can switch off key cell signalers and pro-inflammatory mediators known as cytokines in the inflammatory cascade.
  Ginger (Zingiber officinalis). Valued for centuries the world over for its medicinal qualities, ginger today is being studied by biochemists and pharmacologists interested in its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, and sugar-moderating effects in the body. In the past 30 years or so their work has confirmed how ginger shares properties with conventional over-the-counter and prescription NSAID’s, in that it suppresses the synthesis in the body of the pro-inflammatory molecules known as prostaglandins — but with few if any side effects. Recently, however, an even more exciting body of work is emerging that shows how ginger extract can actually inhibit or deactivate genes in our body that encode the molecules involved in chronic inflammation.
  Turmeric (Curcuma longa), an ancient culinary spice native to South East Asia, has been used as an anti-inflammatory agent for centuries in Indian Ayurvedic medicine. Also known as cucurmin, it is a mild COX-2 inhibitor, but works differently from the prescription-strength drugs that can increase your risk of myocardial infarction or stroke. Like Boswellia and ginger, it seems to inhibit joint inflammation by preventing the production of prostaglandins and activation of inflammation-regulating genes through its effects on cell-signalling.
  
• Glucosamine–chondroitin. Glucosamine sulfate (1500–2000 mg/day, divided doses) and chondroitin sulfate (~1000 mg/day) are important building blocks in healthy cartilage. As we age, our bodies can’t create these compounds as readily as they do in youth. Glucosamine–chondroitin supplements may help repair damaged tissues, but they are thought to act more principally by delaying progression of joint inflammation and alleviating its symptoms. In other words, they may not have as strong an impact on the underlying causes of chronic inflammation as our other recommendations, but you can certainly ask your healthcare provider about including them in your plan. (If you have shellfish allergies, be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking these supplements.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you habitually experience bronchitis when you contract a cold? or maybe, laryngitis or tonsillitis?
When words end in “i t i s” — this indicates INFLAMMATION. Perhaps you know someone with some form of  arthritis ? Maybe your mom has or had it?
We are surrounded by these conditions to such an extent that many simply feel that it’s inevitable and unavoidable and to put it bluntly, ‘a sign of aging’.
It doesn’t need to be.
Inflammation is a huge topic these days as recent research indicates that there is no longer any doubt that inflammation produces a cascade of events responsible for most chronic diseases including cancer.  Often the medical docs jump to a drug treatment and there are times that this is what is needed.  There are also instances when alternatives are appropriate, however, in the world of herbs and herbalism and some are as close as your pantry! Many herbs can work on inflammation in a multi-faceted holistic and balanced way without the side effects of drugs.  A herbal consult with a practising herbalist will provide a plan; a process, which, over time, can often find the cause, alleviate symptoms and re-direct the situation.
In our day – to – day lives, we can make healthy choices which start us down a different road — perhaps a road which detours away from chronic inflammatory illness.
I am fond of saying that small choices group together and can create huge outcomes…
With every teaspoon of specific herbs and spices, you are choosing life-enhancing tastes and helping your body to keep inflammation at bay.
‘Kitchen medicine’  should not be overlooked as a supportive, nourishing way to tip the scales in favour of great health!
Why not explore some old favourite or new tastes and sprinkle some of these powerful healing herbs and spices on your foods?**

Here are the top 15  anti-inflammatory herbs and spices.
Black Pepper
Basil
Cardamom
Cayenne
Chamomile
Chives
Cilantro
Cinnamon
Cloves
Garlic
Ginger
Parsley
Nutmeg
Rosemary
Turmeric

As indicated by the ‘highlight’ above, Turmeric & Ginger are at the top of the list in terms of ‘strength’. Use them whenever you can –in your meals
or as a tea. (see the post “Ginger and Turmeric – A perfect marriage’)
**MORE info to come. Stay tuned!
In herbalism, we have a term, “therapeutic dose”.  For example, one can drink a cup of tea and enjoy it, experiencing the great taste and receiving benefit.  If, however, one is wanting to take the tea as an herbal medicine, it’s helpful to drink 3-4 cups per day. This is then what is known as “therapeutic dose.
For Turmeric & Ginger, here are some “therapeutic dose” suggestions:

• Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Turmeric IS the yellow color of curry and the standard ‘hot dog’ mustard and has a delicious flavour.Turmeric can be effective for all inflammatory disorders, including arthritis, tendonitis, and auto immune conditions.
  Dr Andrew Weil suggests that you take 400 to 600 milligrams of turmeric extract (available in capsules) three times per day or as directed on the product label.
  He also says that the full benefit takes two months to develop.
  NOTE: Don’t use turmeric if you have gallstones or bile duct dysfunction. Pregnant women shouldn’t use it without their doctors’ approval.
  In very rare cases, extended use can cause heartburn or stomach upset.
• Ginger: (Zingiber officinalis) Fresh ginger is easy to use. Grate it or finely chop it or slice it into ‘coins’. Powdered dry ginger is also an excellent anti-inflammatory. Take one to two capsules (500 to 1,000 mg) twice a day with food.  As above, with turmeric, you won’t get the full effect for two months.

Every bite of herbal goodness, big or small, is life-enhancing! Choose your favourites often to add to your daily meals and DO experiment.  It’s ALL goo

The Velveteen Rabbit Quotes By Margery Williams

“The Skin Horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others. He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath, and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces. He was wise, for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrive to boast and swagger, and by-and-by break their mainsprings and pass away, and he knew that they were only toys, and would never turn into anything else. For nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it.

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

"I suppose you are real?" said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not said it, for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive. But the Skin Horse only smiled.

"The Boy's Uncle made me Real," he said. "That was a great many years ago; but once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.”
