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.

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.

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.

It’s so important to stay up to date on science, etc. and the progression of human development. When I was in my first decade in the forties it was “children should be seen and not heard” and “spare the rod and spoil the child.” Our parents did not know that a child’s brain is like wet cement, easy to be permanently impressed with sounds, sights, surrounding environment, etc. Now we know that children should be seen, heard and begin to converse with their parents, grandparents, etc. at an early age. We now know that the word “rod” means “guidance.” In ancient days the shephard would follow his sheep and guide them with his rod. Now we know it’s “spare the guidance and spoil the child.” The earlier we teach our children to talk, read, and make conversation, etc, the better the more mature they will become. That’s our greatest gift to give to them, and ourselves..-mackie

Babies may look helpless, but as soon as they come into the world, they’re able to do a number of important things. They can recognize faces and moving objects. They’re attracted to language. And from very early on, they can differentiate their mother from other humans.
“They really come equipped to learn about the world in a way that wasn’t appreciated until recently,” says neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt. “It took scientists a long time to realize that their brains are doing some very complicated things.”
Aamodt and fellow neuroscientist Sam Wang explain how the human brain develops from infancy to adolescence in their new book, Welcome to Your Child’s Brain. The two researchers also offer tips for parents to help their children eat their spinach, learn their ABCs and navigate elementary school…..

For several decades, psychiatrists who work with the dying have been trying to come up with new psychotherapies that can help people cope with the reality of their death. One of these therapies asks the dying to tell the story of their life.

This end of life treatment, called dignity therapy, was created by a man named Harvey Chochenoff. When Chochenoff was a young psychiatrist working with the dying, he had a really powerful experience with one of the patients he was trying to counsel, a man with an inoperable brain tumor.

“One of the last times that I went into his room to meet with him, on his bedside table was a photograph of him when he had indeed been young and healthy and a body builder, and it was this incredible juxtaposition of these two images,” says Chochenoff.

So in the bed there’s his patient — this skeleton of a man — very pale and weak. On the bedside table, there’s this image, this portrait of a glistening muscled giant. And Chochenoff says that sitting there, it was very clear to him that by placing this photograph in such a prominent position, the man was sending a message: This was how he needed to be seen.

As Chochenoff continued his work with the dying, he confronted this again and again: this need people have to assert themselves in the face of death. And he started to wonder about it.

“Why is it that how people perceive themselves to be seen should have such a profound influence? How does that make sense? What does that mean?” says Chochenoff.

In the quiet of the morning before you cut the tv or radio on or read the paper (go to the bathroom if you have to)
PLACE YOUR HANDS OVER YOUR EARS AND LISTEN TO WHAT’S GOING ON INSIDE OF YOU.
What do you hear?  The sound of blood flowing through your arteries.  It’s going on in every living being throughout the expansion of all we are seeing in the skies and forever.  Without this flowing we are dead.  How it flows and what kind of blood it is that has come down from our ancestors from thousands (millions?) of yrs ago.  The improving of our mental and physical habits, exercise, etc. can go a long way in making sure how well we feel and how long we will live.  THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE OF US HELPS US BETTER UNDERSTAND OTHERS.
THIS BLOOD IS FLOWING THROUGH YOU WHETHER YOU ARE ASLEEP OR AWAKE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
During your sleep your body is recharging, your brain is sorting out what you will remember and think of the next day.  The heart is a vital organ located in the center of the chest with a slight tilt to the left. Using rhythmic muscle contractions, it circulates blood through veins and arteries, which supplies tissues with oxygenated blood and disposes waste.
Well, now my body is telling me to eat.  It is important that we eat when we are slightly hungery and pause often. It takes you brain 20 minutes to tell you how full you are.  To be continued.

‘Jesse Bering‘s mother died of cancer on a Sunday, in her own bed, at 9 o’clock at night. Bering and his siblings closed her door and went downstairs, hoping they might somehow get some sleep.

It was a long, hard night, but around 7 a.m., something happened: The wind chimes outside his mother’s window started to chime.

Bering remembers waking to the tinkle of these bells, a small but distinct sound in an otherwise silent house. And he remembers thinking that those bells carried a very specific message.

“It seemed to me … that she was somehow telling us that she had made it to the other side. You know, cleared customs in heaven,” Bering says.

The thought surprised him. Bering was a confirmed atheist. He did not believe in any kind of supernatural anything. He prided himself on being a scientist, a psychologist who believed only in the measurable material world. But, he says, he simply couldn’t help himself.

“My mind went there. It leapt there,”‘
