I want to hear about your traditions!

2011-12-24T17:45:00Z

This time of year brings us many faiths and family traditions. I am very spiritual and have studied many religions yet subscribe to none. We do not have many religious traditions in my house. However each year I buy a photo frame ornament and add a picture to our tree. Tonight we open one small gift. What do you do? I would love to hear your family traditions or ones you remember growing up. Unless you are too busy doing them right now :)

Fake call me?!

2011-12-23T14:02:00Z

OK here's the situation, you are on a date with a new person and either the chemistry just isn't there or the conversation is full of awkward silences. If only you could find a polite way to free yourself! Now you can. Perhaps you need to make someone you are dating a little jealous. If you have a smartphone there is an app you can program to call you several times if needed to fake a family emergency or extra attention from someone else. Just look for the fake call me app! Enjoy!

Great song!

Small blessings

2011-11-25T05:07:00Z

As some of you know I am a single mom. I do not receive any child support and everything is on me. My daughter has never liked Barbies or dolls so gift giving can be quite challenging. She only asked me for one gift this year. She saw a commercial for a game where you can interact with animals on the screen. She is a big animal lover. Little did she know, to play the game you must own an xbox 360 with kinect. This game system retails at 299.99 not including the game she wanted. There is no way I could afford that this year. Thanks to Black Friday, Wal-Mart had it for half that price with an additional 50.00 gift card. My intuition told me which location to go to. When I got there I went to the game isle and there in the case were 2 systems left. I asked for them to open the case and give me one. I was told they were not part of the black friday deal and they only had 14 systems in the store which some people had waited all day to receive. Another customer came over and wanted the other system she was told the same thing. I asked for a manager to explain why I could not apply the sale to the system in the case. She first said they had a different bar code. So I asked if she would please scan it to verify that. It showed up as part of the promotion. She agreed I could have it at 10PM when the sale started. Then instructed me to go get in line. In line I was behind 17 people who had literally been there since 11 am. There is no good reason why two systems were overlooked. Or when they were found did not go to the people who stood in line all day. I had no one to watch my daughter so I especially could never be in line that long with her. It was bad enough she was up so late. Not to mention being forced to bring her with me means no myterious santa magic this year. Maybe it was pure luck or a stockperson's oversight but I like to believe that I received a small miracle today. :)

The Spirit of Thanksgiving

2011-11-23T13:30:00Z

In the spirit of the approaching holiday I began to take inventory of what I value most. I know in this economy it is easy to focus on material worth and assets. I know from talking with you many of you have had some serious losses and had to start over in life. Due to forclosures and employment issues. The stress of gift giving is quickly approaching. So I was thinking of the things I own that cannot be taken away no matter how difficult these economic times are.

My mind my internal computer, it contains all the new ideas I have yet to form and all the memories I wish to cherish into my seniority. It also contains the memories of past mistakes and old hurts which I continue to learn and grow from. I am a complex person full of varied experiences like no other and I cherish this. I am full of possibilities awaiting outcomes.

This vessel this body of mine in my hands alone I have great power. I can build and rebuild my life with these mighty hands. I can pen words of kindness and love. Hold a child. Feed my pets a treat. Help a friend. My hands hold my future. My soul's vehicle is this body. I am grateful for the years it has carried me. It holds my heart and all the love I have yet to give or experience.

My faith that there is a force out there so good and pure that when I am weak or down I can reach it and renew myself. That when I pray for others it wonderfully finds them and heals what is needed. A tiny light in my soul just waiting for an opportunity to expand and reach to others. Like a superhero its is my special power. My faith has shielded me in hardship and astounded me with divine miracles too profound to be by chance.

My will. My ability to recover, mend, and live what I hold true. My will is also my strength and courage. I can always find a tiny bit more than I thought I had. Without it I am not determined or focused. I could dream but never accomplish.

This day is not over it awaits what you can think of and set forward. You are a creating, doing, living, loving person. You can set boundaries or break down walls. The world awaits your new idea, your friendliness, your contribution. Embrace your life.

Your true assets are your character, your word, your memories and thoughts. Your generosity and compassion. Your ability to love. Strength and courage. You cannot buy these attributes. They were shaped by your life's experiences. Even despair or pain have hidden gifts of perseverence, strength, and humility. Stay open to possiblities. Fear wants you to be guarded and limit yourself. Be a a bright soul too big to guard and contain. In a crowd of many be easy for opportunity and love to find you. Beam joy from your heart, let it twinkle in your eyes, and warm others in your smile. People are naturally drawn to positive energy and self confidence. It has nothing to do with Hollywood looks. Happiness is as valuable as gold these days if you enter a room full of it everyone will inexplicably be drawn to you. You are the master of your day today this moment. You write the next pages of the chapters in your life story. You are holding the pen. Attitude and inner joy overwrite outside influence and others negativity. Start creating your day....

Ladies & Fellas Beware!

2010-09-05T03:30:00Z

In the archives of my blog I wrote an article on the pitfalls and scams in this industry. Pitfalls and Scams Too many times I get a new client that has a horror story from their interaction with a bad advisor. Often it is too late to salvage the relationship or issue where misleading advice was given. Well this article needs an addition. There is a new all time low out there.

The Romantic Relationship Con:

This is where a TRUSTED advisor slowly begins to flirt with you, escalating these comments to a full blown romantic relationship. You were most likely calling about love or lack of it. So this advisor started selling it to you at their rate per minute. So far I have not heard of women doing this it's usually men conning women. Over the years I have had these women call asking if their advisor/love will ever let them off keen to be together in person. This is really cruel because it started with a natural trust and intermingled it with feelings. I am not saying that people could not ever turn an advisor/ client relationship into a romantic one. If an advisor tells you they have romantic feelings for you then you should have free contact with them. Not the only contact is through a rate per minute "connection". Women who have fallen for this scam do not come forward. I have heard rumors that there is a male advisor here on keen that is homosexual and runs this scam on women. If this has happened to you or is happening right now I am sure you are not the advisors' only so called "love interest". When you get an email from a foriegner stating someone you never knew is your heir and you can get millions by granting access to your bank account you know these are fraud. Now these same spammers have started contacting lonely people on dating sites. After professing their undying love they start saying they need money sent to them to get to America so they can be together at last. Love should not come with a price tag! If you are paying anyone in any way for affection you are not being respected, taken seriously, or loved.

My angels say this Tsunami in Hawaii will not be significant only causing some damage.

ACCURACY CONFIRMED

2010-02-08T03:19:00Z

I just accurately called the outcome of the SUPERBOWL!

I was on my facebook before the game and decided to peek at the game since I don't know anything about either team. I even had to google to see who the two teams were that were playing. Here is what I posted over four hours ago:

I call to you...

2010-01-21T15:32:00Z

Today the weather is bad here the type of weather where a tornado could form. The rain comes and goes and the wind blows hot and cold. It comes in large swirling gusts then nothing. I sat at a red light as one of these gusts circled around in front of the car. In it were numerous tiny leaves from a nearby tree. As I watched them all twist and circle together in the wind, I thought of Hati. These tiny leaves were like the souls of a people all circling together in a rush of wind and fury to heaven. They fell down like the many tears of the grief stricken.

I know you, glued to CNN to watch the crisis unfold. You remark in horror at the images the next day at work, or over dinner with friends. "Isn't it just awful?" you say in a sympathetic voice. Maybe you are moved to donate. You may even feel hopeless anything you do will help in time. Or perheps for some Hati is too foriegn a place for you to care enough. YOU forgot something. YOU overlooked one important detail. Summon up all the emotion you feel for these orphaned children, neglected elderly, and those dying senselessly. Can you imagine your mother or your child in a mass grave? No dignity, no respect, dumped by an Earth Mover Truck like soil? Imagine if you spoke to a relative last week and then never heard from them again. No confirmation of death so you are robbed of grieving. You would spend the rest of your life hoping they were out there with amnesia. This is what a mass grave means to families. Never closure and imagining the worst. There is a huge disturbance to the world when so many are aching in pain. You can help.

Now direct all that you feel to your higher power, and pray for those who are suffering, thirsty, hungry, grief stricken, and injured to be granted strength to survive. Ask that miracles rain down over Hati. Ask that God bring down his hand and wipe away the tears of the children. Pray for rain so they can have water. YOU can do more than sit glued to the news! FAITH can change the world if you dig into your soul and really feel the words. I call on you to send out a mighty SOS for the delivery of hope and healing by the angels. I call you into prayers for the suffering.

"The ex came back and we are going to try again" Break up Stories

2009-12-12T16:00:00Z

Ok so let's educate each other we have all been given really lousy break up excuses or after a few dates they call and say, "My ex came back and they are going to give it another try."

What is the lamest way you have been broken up with or brushed off?

Or perhaps you were the one using the excuse.

Maybe you felt the person was too fragile to hear the truth.

Let's face it some people just can't handle confrontation.

Have you ever been dumped by text message or IM?

Share your story...

Walking tall anyway...

I have in life experienced moments that left me below zero. Dark moments so sad or tragic where the odds were so against me it felt going on would be pointless. We all have a purpose it is easy to loose sight of this. As I look back at those places in my life where I somehow found an ounce of strength to find my feet and stand up. Then one by one take a step forward. There will be moments in life where you feel like you are crawling through hell on your knuckles. Eventually you do crawl out to find light again. I think of all the wonderful events after I emerged that I would have missed. There is an ongoing test in life to see what you can endure, survive, and most importantly overcome. It is ok to be weak in grief or depression. Just as long as you know at some point you will get up and keep going.

The year I lost three people close to me to death I really thought I would never be the same. Just an empty shell wandering around. Truth is I am not the same in some ways I am better. I notice people more sensitively than before. I used to be more strong willed. I always rebelled, I was the type to question or challenge the oppinions of others just to have the last word. These needs to be right or "win" left me. I was so humbled. I came to an understanding of the time you are wasting doing things like this. All the focus of myself or my importance evaporated. I quietly reflected and read into everything. I now know that far away look in my grandmother's eyes. She was remembering my Grandfather. Death taught me every moment is precious. I will always be haunted by the moments I cannot have again. You can overcome anything crippling, traumatic, or devestating. You just have to trust that beyond this there will be moments so precious you have got to fight to get to them. Life's turns are not always good more often than not they will cause you to stumble. Your determination is being tested, your ability to find happiness may be harder to find than others who have had a life of little struggle. Who has more depth to their soul you or them? If you have lost or suffered in life it is easier to find sympathy and compassion for others. Would you trade this away? Moments in life, both good and bad define us and enrich our soul. We are learning even in tragedy or suffering.

Finances are of great concern right now. Many have lost their homes and the holidays do not feel the same this year. You can always find shelter, you cannot replace people in your life you hold dear. You can loose everything, even love or loved ones and still recover to have moments you will cherish for the rest of your life. You are stronger than you think, walk tall even if your heart is sinking low. You have to take the nesessary steps to get to the beautiful places up your path. Be proud of yourself stand tall and brave in the face of many tomorrows. Refuse to stay down if you fall. Losses can be recovered in time and pain eventually eases to a level you can live with. December 11 2006 I lost the most important person in the world to me aside from my daughter. I laid on the floor of my living room and I recall thinking it was not low enough. Today it is a soft whisper of occasional sadness and many moments where I can laugh and smile again things I thought I probably lost. The point is I crawled through an unimaginable hell towards a life full of possibilities, joy, laughter and love. You will too in time. If your Holidays are short a few gifts under the tree remember the real gifts are the people around you.

A prayer for those facing loss

2009-05-24T19:04:00Z

Here is a new prayer for those experiencing loss. Lost Love, Death, Job, Housing, Material Wealth, Health, Dignity and Respect, Reputation, and Peace of Mind.

If you are suffering from stress and pain due to losses in your life this prayer is for you.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I crawl to you because I am too beneath my load to walk.
The last few months have all but broken me.
It was only my love for you that I found a sliver of strength.
I humbly ask that you take my weary soul, my broken heart, and my tired spirit into your hands.
Purify me my Beloved Heavenly Father! Wash over me like a great wave of warm white light!
Let the mighty force of this wave rush over me and remove my fears and my doubts.
Wash from me the pain and emptiness of loss and replace it with your love.
May your mighty wave of love wash away the hurt and disgrace others smudged upon my soul.
I am clear and new in your light.
I stand now ready for anything, focused on my purpose.
I have great strength in you! My vision is set only on you, I now know I can overcome!
I can loose everything I own, as long as you permit me to walk tall in your light.
Today I am different because I have a blind trust you will lead me to safety.
I KNOW you are guiding me as I read this.
I trust you will build a bridge over my suffering to my new Destiny.
I have already begun my Journey above and over.
In you I can triumph over all adversity!
I cannot loose my footing or my path, because I walk only with you.
I thank you now for lifting me from trouble, for blessing me with your Eternal Love.
Thank you for every Miracle you have given me and each you have yet to bring.
My Beloved Heavenly Father thank you for healing me in this moment.
You are ALL I need!

A very cool way to show mom she is special!
