“ARE YE TRYING OR DYING?”

Posted on by
 STARTING YOUR DAY RIGHT?  Here are 5 passionate Tips for your own Self Care: 1-Fuel Your Body, 2-Take a Nap, 3-Turn Off Alarm, 4-Do Nothing, or 5-Have a little Fun.  TAKING CARE OF YOUR SELF 1st helps you take care of others later.  U can do at least 1 a day, OK…..”YE HAVE NOT CAUSE YE TRY NOT”.-mackie
Fuel your body Rather than sliding your meals between meetings, eat when your body signals hunger. You’ll need to be prepared for this. You can pack some snacks like fruit, nuts, or those nifty Kind bars.
Take a nap No, not at your desk:-) Try taking a nap on Saturday and Sunday, or after work. You can set a timer or just allow yourself to sleep until you wake up.
Turn off your alarm Do you wake up to buzzing or the sound of news on the radio? Do you slap it several times to snooze? Are you annoyed with your alarm? Try un-setting your alarm this week. I know it’s scary. I’m going to try it myself. If not un-setting the alarm, try changing the wake up sound to something pleasant like a chime or a “good morning” ringtone from your kids.
Do nothing I got this idea from Christine Kane. I’ve always thrived on meditation. Doing nothing takes it a step further. I don’t even have to concentrate on my breath. For 15 minutes, I just sit, and do absolutely nothing. I can let my mind drift if it wants to. It churns and churns. I don’t coax it to come back to center. I just sit. In silence. Doing nothing.
Read something for fun As consultants, we’re always reading industry publications, journals, or news. When was the last time you read something for fun – chick lit, erotica, spy novels, comic books? Try reading something that you would have read as a teenager. Laugh a little. Become engrossed in a story that’s pure reverie!

CONGRESS HOLDING CANCER DRUG FOR BABIES 14 MNTHS?

Posted on by

CANCER DRUG FOR BABIES HELD UP FOR 14 MONTHS AND WAITING. WHY? It hasn’t reached the floor. Asked leader of house and senate: We have our own way of doing things & it’s so complicated I don’t have time to tell you. GOD HELP US!!! They are your employees.

CALL THEM! If we don’t they’ll just keep on talking to lobbyists $$$, etc. If the GOP STALLS LONG ENOUGH THEY MIGHT REACH THEIR GOAL: GETTING THAT BLACK PRESIDENT OUT! MANY  FUNDAMENTALIST STATES BLOCKING VOTES OF YOUNG & OLD NON-WHITES AND POOR WHITES (unless they have an ID).  TO HELL WITH THAT.  WHAT HAPPENED TO ONE PERSON ONE VOTE?  They are also closing voting booths in poor  WHITE AND NON-WHITE AREAS. 

TO HELL WITH  THAT!  HOPEFULLY ENOUGH FAIR MINDED CITIZENS WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE  VOTES (even if they have to pick them up and make sure that they vote without hinderance).

DISEASES THAT HAPPEN WITHOUT CONDOMS?

Posted on by

The chances of getting an STD from unprotected sex that only lasts for one second are really low … but it may be possible. Certain infections are passed by skin-to-skin contact. We always warn people that brief contact is all that’s needed — but one second is really VERY brief! The risk of getting an infection would be higher if ejaculation happened or pre-cum or vaginal secretions were passed between partners during that one second of contact.

If you’re worried you might have an STD, the best thing you can do is get yourself tested. Contact your local Planned Parenthood health center to set up an appointment. When you get tested, you’ll be able to talk to a health care provider about exactly what happened — like, for example, if you had sex without a condom for one second — and they can help figure out what tests are right for you.

OPEN MIND OF WONDER or CLOSED MIND OF BELIEF?

Posted on by

WHICH IS BETTER: OPEN MIND OF WONDER, OR CLOSED MIND OF BELIEF?  

When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

SANTA CLAUS? Closed Belief:>ALWAYS THE SAME. Open Wonder:>ALWAYS LEARNING AND CHANGING FOR THE BETTER DAILY. 1stChrntns13.

5 CRITICAL REASONS FOR LOW COST CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE..

Posted on by
ARE THE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO TAKE US BACK TO COAT HANGERS? HERE THEY GO WITH THESE MEN TRYING TO CONTROL WOMEN’S BODIES. NOW MOST WOMEN HAVE TO WORK OUT SIDE THE HOME. WHAT IF THEY DON’T WANT OR CAN AFFORD ANOTHER CHILD? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF SHE LOSES WHO JOB BECAUSE SHE BECOMES PREGNANT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT HER FAMILY AND THERE INCOME? Below are a view highlights, etc. There is so much more you need to know.
 
THEY’RE EVEN TRYING TO SET IT UP WHERE THE EMPLOYER WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD HELP…….
 
 
2) Contraception has numerous health benefits. A Harvard Medical School study found that oral contraceptives reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 10 to 12 percent during the first year of use and by about 50 percent after five years of use. It also prevents significant health risks to women and infants by allowing women and couples to achieve healthy birth intervals and prevent unintended pregnancy. Having too short a gap between pregnancies has been linked to negative health outcomes, like low birth weight, preterm birth, and small size for gestational age. Unintended pregnancy is also linked to several negative outcomes for women and children’s health, including delayed attainment of prenatal care, economic hardships, and relationship problems. Publicly funded contraceptive services have decreased unintended pregnancy among health center clients by as much as 78 percent, studies show.
 
AND
 
5) It’s about more than birth control. As important as contraception is, the preventive care regulation is about more than access to birth control. It covers a wide range of services specific to women’s health, including cancer screening with Pap smears, HPV DNA testing, mammograms, and colonoscopies; domestic violence screening and counseling; and breastfeeding supports, among others. It also insures services like immunizations, dietary counseling, and cholesterol and blood pressure screening, to name only a few, to 54 million men, women, and children.

THE END OF ILLNESS?

Posted on by

Overall feeling: How do you feel? It’s arguably the most important question to ask of yourself. You might feel great today, but how about yesterday? When do you have your low moments? Is there a pattern? Is it hard for you to get out of bed in the morning? Take the Personal Health Inventory to see how you’re doing, OK?

HORROR OF POOR FEMALES WITH SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS…..

Posted on by

WHERE WILL WOMEN AND FEMALE YOUTH TURN TO IF THEY CAN’T AFFORD A DOCTOR?

No matter how much anti-choicers wish otherwise, it’s not feasible to create an approach to women’s health that separates good girl concerns from bad girl concerns. For instance, many women land in gynocologist‘s offices seeking contraceptive services and cervical-cancer screenings, and doctors use that opportunity to teach the art of breast self-exam.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation said it regretted the effect of its new funding policy on groups such as Planned Parenthood. But the group denied politics played any role in its decision and said such allegations were a distraction from the search for cancer cures.

LAUGHTER LOOSENS ONE’S SOUL OUT OF THE BODY?

Posted on by

NO MATTER WHAT THE MOOD, ALLOW YOURSELF TO LAUGH. LAUGHTER RAISES THE SOUL OUT OF ALL OUR PROBLEMS TEMPORARILY. FIND THE FUNNY THINGS THAT MAKES YOUR AT LEAST SMILE FOR A WHILE.

I was visiting one of my diabetic shutins. She had just had one leg amputated and was back at home. She stated that she still thought the leg was there and would stand up to walk and fall. Then she smiled and said, “Tell me that alligator shoes joke again. It makes me laugh!” I did. She burst out laughing again.

Everytime I visited her she would ask for that joke and would laugh louder each time to the point of a crying laughter. I did, as well.

RESOLVING THE PAIN IN YOUR LIFE ……….

Posted on by

WILL CAUSE IT TO GRADUALLY HEAL.  Most important: be aware what’s going on inside of you.  You have the power to heal yourself.  Ever fall and scrape your knee or cut your finger?  Pain: do nothing and it will grow; infection, swelling and more pain will come.  If not taken care of it could infect and consume your whole body.

Being aware of yourself mentally, spiritually and physically is the first step in helping you to take care of your pain and letting it go.

Ever had the pain of someone hurting your feelings?  If you don’t resolve it within yourself it will grow with the unresolved pain you already have leading you to more despair and illness.  Confronting the person who hurt you will not resolve the pain.  He/she will become defensive and come back at you, causing their pain to grow til thank hate you and gossip about you.

 HEAL THYSELF!  Let it go.  THINK OR PRAY:

 ”I can’t heal that SOB (Son or Sister of a hard shell believer?).  I’m turning it over to my Higher Power to let Him/Her deal with that sicko.” 

Now, your wound can heal, you can go on with your life, and later on that criminal may become aware of him/herself, go through his own healing and apologize one day.  NOT YOUR PROBLEM ANYMORE, RIGHT?  You can go on with less pain in your body, mind and soul, whereas he may not become more aware of himself causing his pain body to grow and cause more infection, sadness, and sickness to himself?

“If someone hurts you, dust off your shoes and go on with your life.”  Not even God (or your High Power?) will/can change another person.  More surely, we can’t.  Someone who was being crucified prayed: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”More next time.
