Just a lil random rant...

Hello friends, It has been a busy and cold day to say the least. So I am in high hopes to get this insurance crap situated soon so It stops slowing my schedule down and causing more stress than needed. Lately I have been doing a lot of self-reflecting, I have noticed how I haven't had a Miracle lately...call me crazy but they really do occur, small and large. I with my personal belief system give credit to my creator. However I respect YOU that have other belief systems. We are all still brothers and sisters on this earth. Now most if not all of this blog is directed to the fundamentalist Christians and Believers in Christ. I am pointing out how a GIGANTIC portion DO NOT believe in Miracles....to me miracles are normal and should be expected if one truly claims to be a christian according to the Holy bible...Im not here to bash whatsoever I wanna make that CLEAR friends. I usually don't blog about my faith but today I am pointing out something I have personally noticed through the years when I actually attended a church on a regular basis. I had noticed at many of the churches I had went to they almost all did not speak of MIRACLES, with me personally miracles from my creator is not unusual but feels normal. Anywhoot, so these local churches that I had visited mainly preached on two main things MONEY and SIN....now sin, yea that is ok sometime...we all need a good peptalk...but MONEY and when all the services at the churches seemed to be built on digging in the pockets and constantly pointing out personal flaws instead of building one up...This is when I realized I can worship and have time with my Father without going to some "Church Show" I call it that because that is what they all were just like a play you go watch except YOUR apart of it lol, NOW don't get me wrong there are A Lot of GOOD fruitful, spirit filled churches out there....just be careful of WHICH spirit that church may be operating under. I think an open mind is a must to receive miracles and an open heart, but I think it begins with an open MIND first.
Every Christian/Believer, is at some point affected by church traditions and cultures. Depending on denominational or church backgrounds, we will have different concepts of miracles. This Even goes for other religions that believes in miracles, you still need to have an OPEN mind about it. Many Fundamentalists and even some believers, do not all study the bible by ourselves. Most of the time, we depend upon our elders, bible teachers and "godly" leaders to show us what they THINK the bible says. We make the assumption that they are more knowledgeable than we are and so we simply trust what they have taught. This can be very dangerous in my opinion, Can be good and very fruitful the RIGHT WAY...the Fruits of the Spirit is the KEY to finding the right Spiritual Leader, I personally believe.

Many church traditions have their positive aspects but some of these are producing negative and damaging results. Therefore, it is not whether my church tradition/belief system is better than yours or vice versa. The key is to find out which aspects of  traditions are in line with what the word says about Miracles as well as knowing in your spirit what is right. It is dangerous to simply take things for granted. Man is not perfect.

                                                     Well my friends thanks for stopping by and reading my little rant lol, feel free to follow, share, comment, or just enjoy and of course excuse any and all grammar and spelling mistakes LOL.

Did YOU know???

Hello Friends, I have been working on this particular blog for a few days lol, it seems everytime I get the chance to sit and write this blog, something comes up lately as if trying to stop me from doing this blog lol. Anyway I recovered from the recent surgery, slowly but surely. I am beyond fed up with the healthkill world yes healthkill not healthcare because that's what it is here in America. America has become such a ridiculous nation that I am disgusted and saddened to what "WE THE PEOPLE" have allowed the elite terrible and power hungry officials/government to do to our nation and our constitution to fit their SICK agendas. YES, we Are at the beginning stages of a full out police state society with martial law coming sooner than later, I don't personally feel ANY Genuine freedoms we once had as AMERICANS....are even in existence anymore with our rights being took from us minute by minute. At this point I often wonder a lot if its too late to even STAND UP and give a crap anymore. BUT no matter what happens in this once great nation, I personally will always try my best to stay positive and help my fellow brothers and sisters here on earth. This leads me to my blog topic. I want ALL OF YOU to realize YOU are SPECIAL and is on this planet for a reason and not just to exist but to LIVE a full abundant happy LIFE! With all the hate, crazy crap going on worldwide, the hate crimes, school shootings, etc. I felt it was more than the right time to remind YOU that YOU are so special. At the end of the blog I included a music video that really makes a good point about being special no matter what people may say or you may think about yourself, the song is a touching song full of raw truths, please take the time to watch it and if I would LIKE your actual feedback on your thoughts and such on the video/song, YOU don't have to leave feedback but YOU know I do appreciate it.

You are special. Just like your fingerprint is unique, you are a unique person with a special purpose. No one is born to do the things that aren't fruitful or to better your life. YOU have purpose!  "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it." (Psalm 139:13-14 NLT) A great philosopher James Allen wrote in his book 'As a Man Thinketh'  I think thats the name of the book lol.."As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he wills."Do not compare yourself with others. There is no need to compare yourself with another person. If you look around, there may be many people who excel in your field. You can learn from them, but do not let them intimidate you. Never, ever compare yourself with others whether you feel they are superior to you or inferior to you. Do not let that hinder your genius and gifts. Be your best and be totally dedicated and that is all what matters. When you are at your best, everything you do is still a masterpiece because YOU did your best. You do not have to prove anything to anybody. You have the same three-pound brain like everybody else, which is capable of doing wonderful things. I once heard  a story about a man named " C.V.Raman", a genius who won the Nobel Prize for Physics: One of his students was once experimenting with an X-ray tube of 1-kilowatt power. The student got discouraged when he found out that a scientist in the united kingdom is experimenting on the same problem with a 5-kilowatt X-ray tube. With a smile, Raman suggested his student, "The solution is very simple; use your 10-kilowatt brain on the problem." You too have the 10-kilowatt power brain and you too can use it for your own special and unique purposes in life. The whole world of opportunity is open to you. Think of all the wonderful things you could do and enjoy.

Why and how does it matter?:

By realizing that you are special, you can make a difference in the world, you can have a very positive and powerful impact on your surroundings and on others. The successful accomplishments of your dreams lead to greater contribution to yourself, your family, and the world. By being and trying your best, you can make a great impact on  society, like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, etc. You have the unique qualities and exceptional genius and gifts within you. Imagine the impact the world can experience by having hundred Edisons. Take action. There was a young man who was an artist. He used to get discouraged thinking that, may be there are other good artists who are better than he is. Hardly any of his friends encouraged; few others discouraged him. He went ahead and participated in the competition anyway. When he won the award, a guy commented, "This does not mean that you are the best. There may be other good artists, who did not participate in the contest". May be true, but participation and trying his BEST is what was important. By not participating/trying your best, you lose your chance to be successful and to use your gifts to better your world and others lives.. By taking full action, you bring your unique abilities and gifts to the table. You make the world a better place to live. SO Step out and do something with what you were created with my friends..

"The difference between what we are capable of doing and what we do, can solve most of the problems in this world." - Mahatma Gandhi.

There is enough for all of us. There is an abundance of good things ALL can be available to you. By keeping in mind that you are special,  you will hopefully  have an abundant supply of opportunities and ideas and so forth to excel in your chosen endeavor.

Something I do sometimes and it WORKS,  you can say to yourself to  feel great and remind YOU how  special YOU are always:

Take a piece of paper and write down the following self-affirmations. Keep the paper with you always and read it whenever you can out loud, at least two times a day. You will experience a difference, because spoken words are beyond powerful.....so powerful that its beyond your wildest dreams..

• I am wonderfully and beautifully made
• I am a lot stronger and more powerful than I think.
• I have unlimited potential.
• All the power is within me; I can achieve anything I set my mind to.
• I am abundant. My life is abundant with good things and positive people.
• Every day, in every way I am becoming better and better.
• I strive for excellence in everything I do.
• I deserve the best this life has to offer me.

You deserve to be successful. You deserve to be great.

                       "AFFIRMATIONS'

Hello Friends, it is a sunny chilly autumn day here in the Mid-west. Today's blog is about something I recommend to ALL, Affirmations. To a big extent, I believe our happiness and our success in life is determined by the thoughts we hold in our subconscious mind. Positive affirmations are powerful statements that are used to build a positive internal dialog to one's self. By consistently repeating positive affirmations to yourself, you create positive subconscious thoughts. These new, positive, productive thoughts will replay automatically throughout your life. Each time they replay, they'll reinforce the new positive inner-image you have of yourself and your life in general. By replacing old, negative thinking with new, positive subconscious thoughts you'll be able to access the endless resources of positive energy you have within yourself. And you'll be able to create a new, positive reality for yourself.

When you use positive affirmations, let yourself really feel them. Fully experience each one. Enjoy them. Assume each affirmation to be true in your physical reality. Feel the positive emotions that are appropriate for this positive reality. This will help you make positive changes more quickly and automatically.

At the end of this blog you'll  carefully chosen,tested, positive affirmations that will help get you started. I personally have and still use affirmations daily including some below. Select the ones that you think will be most helpful. Write them down, carry them with you, and use them often. Get into the habit of saying them while you're doing routine things such as brushing your teeth, work, driving, washing your hands, etc. You get the point.

Utilize the Benefits of Using daily Positive Affirmations

You must continue to actively "eject/get rid of" the negatives you experience daily. If you use affirmations occasionally, but allow negatives to dominate your thoughts/actions throughout the day, any progress you make will be quickly negated. So, if you find yourself thinking a negative thought or being negative, consciously "eject get rid of" that thought and replace it with one of your favorite positive affirmations if you have any. Below are some Affirmations I put together, You may find them useful, silly, useless,and so forth BUT don't knock it until you give it a try. I know ALL this is easier said than done....but what do you have to lose by trying...? NOTHING! Try which ever one you feel keen to and do it for 30 days and see the DIFFERECE :-) Everyday is a NEW day....

DO YOU LIKE COFFEE?

I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'--Jim Carrey 

Hi, Friends...It has been a beautiful day out....full of sunshine but still a bit chilly to me. But I am not complaining at all because I am thankful for even the sunshine lol. Not too much of an eventful day today in my world. I just started quarter 3 today, In the Yoga Regiment that I have started. My little 7 yr old nephew sam attended today also and again lol...this has been his 4th session. I find it very sweet and cute that the lil guy is truly interested in yoga and looks forward to each yoga class....keep in mind he is the only child in the private class I attend lol. Today we did a lot of different poses....but I will save all that for a yoga blog in the near future. Today I would like to focus on one of my addictions...COFFEE lol! Yes that's right I love me some good ol' java everyday. My favorite Local place for coffee is Adam Bros. Coffee&Music house...they give starbucks a run for their money so to speak lol..Adam Bros. Coffee should be nationwide...GOOD STUFF!  Below is a study done by an M.D. about health and coffee. I like what he has to say so that is why I am sharing it with YOU :-)

Coffee and health: What does the research say?
What does the research say about coffee and health? Is coffee good or bad for You and me?
    Coffee has a long history of being blamed for many ills — from the humorous "It will stunt your growth" to the not-so-humorous claim that it causes heart disease and cancer. But recent research indicates that coffee may not be so bad after all. So which is it — good or bad? The best answer may be that for most people the health benefits outweigh the risks. Recent studies have generally found no connection between coffee and an increased risk of cancer or heart disease. Why the apparent reversal in the thinking about coffee? Earlier studies didn't always take into account that known high-risk behaviors, such as smoking and physical inactivity, tended to be more common among heavy coffee drinkers at that time. However, the research appears to bear out some risks. High consumption of unfiltered coffee is associated with mild elevations in cholesterol levels. And another study found that two or more cups of coffee a day can increase the risk of heart disease in people with a specific — and fairly common — genetic mutation that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. So, how quickly you metabolize coffee may affect your health risk. Newer studies have also shown that coffee may have benefits, such as protecting against Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and liver cancer. And it has a high content of antioxidants. But this doesn't mean you should disregard the old maxim "Everything in moderation." Although coffee may not be very harmful, other beverages such as milk and juice contain nutrients that coffee does not. Also, another study shows that men that drink approx: 6 cups of coffee per day have a 60% LESS chance of getting prostate cancer. Finally, heavy caffeine use — on the order of four to seven cups of coffee a day — can cause problems such as restlessness, anxiety, irritability and sleeplessness, particularly in susceptible individuals. Answers provided by Mr. D. Hensrud, M.D.
I totally agree with Mr. Hensrud study, but personally I think coffee is also a good cleanser in soap due the anti-oxidents and a great scrubber for those sore rough feet.

Wonder what your purpose in Life is??? Yep, me too :-)

" Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is NO path and leave a trail."-R.Waldo Emerson

Hi Friends here  we are on this sunday evening march third already! WOW time is ticking... I'm starting today with a small affirmation about Lifes purpose...something all of us ponder at some point in life or if your like me quite often lol. Friends ALL of my affirmations are for YOU also, so feel free to say them aloud in the mirror. I know that may sound quirky....but SO WHAT....I am living MY life just like you are living YOUR life.
                                                      In my Journey 
"I have PURPOSE here on earth and I will continue to strengthen my direction in life"
At times my direction gets confusing, and I end up floundering around, searching for
my bearing. When I take to remind myself that the Higher power is guiding my journey,
I feel tranquil and at peace....many times through out my life, my energies were blocked
by inability to separate myself from the emotions of others. As I grew older, I began to
take on the feelings of others as though those feelings were my own...I became sad, fatigued
and much more..I even found myself being consumed with busyness. TODAY I will not live
in ANY extremes. I have PURPOSE! I will celebrate the miracle of being alive, and I will feel
the harmony that comes when I channel my energy into ONLY good and positive directions.
HOPE THIS LITTLE AFFIRMATION HELPS YOU TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ME
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY...YOU.


     So now I will share with you how I personally try to Find What the Purpose of Life is For  Me...and I am no expert on life...but I am an expert in caring for others and myself in anyway I am able, so moving on..  What is the purpose of life for you? Finding and clarifying your life purpose and core life intentions can help you to move with greater focus and clarity every day of your life. Especially in these challenging times, setting clear intentions and developing and refining our life purpose can make it much easier to navigate stormy waters. There are many ways to both find and develop your purpose & intentions. This little tid bit of info is to inspire you to be all that you can be and to lead an ever richer, fuller life. Something everyone of us needs...we are ALL on the same planet....we ALL are in human form..A great way that I personally try to start exploring lifes purpose and intentions is to stop for a moment and ask yourself these two key questions:
What is most important to me in my life?  What are my deepest values and beliefs?
     Give yourself time to explore these important questions and notice what touches and inspires you most deeply. Write down any answers or thoughts that come to you as you ponder these questions. Then use what you've written as a basis upon which to craft your life purpose and intentions. Consider also inviting the divine guidance and your own inner wisdom to help you with this....Though both can be valuable, there is a difference between life purpose and life intentions. Your life purpose is generally a single statement related to the overall reason that you feel you are here. What is the greater purpose behind your being alive? Why are you here in the world? Life intentions are any number of profound statements about the way you want to live your life. How do you want to be and act in the world right now and in each moment? When you are confronted with major challenges, on what core principles do you want to base your decisions and actions? Both life purpose and life intentions can be rich and valuable in helping to move through the challenges life brings us, though some will prefer focusing on one over the other. If you find this process somewhat challenging, you might do best to focus on one first. Choose whichever feels right and best to you. Later you can always come back and work on the other. I hope this tid bit made a little sense to somebody out there in this dying world in which we live. Feel free to share, comment and so forth. I always love your feedback good & bad....Thanks for stopping by my own personal little spot on the worldwide web. Blessings to You all! ---Dennis

Ok Friends I am fairly new to blogging, but i have the gift of gab so why not attempt a blog too.
The Affirmation I am giving today is not just for myself but for you, the reader. If any of my affirmations or advice helps just one person...then job completed :-)
                                                             "Pride"
I feel good about myself today, and I live my life with GOOD pride not the selfish pride, that many folks have.
 "Today I will be present at my own life. I will not view my life as a spectator sport, I will take risks, cultivate eccentricity, even live dangerously. In short, I am getting closer to being myself. My life is worth living, and I can be proud of it.
    What I do today is important, because I am exchanging a day of life for it. To bring about a healthy self-image, I must assume control of my destiny and become a person who makes things happen. My life is where this action starts. As I actively start making changes in my life, I will start to feel good about myself and certain situations. As I express my talents and capabilities, I am allowing the expression of my true self. So therefore I live my life with pride." --D.K.
