Our marvelous Brains

The Dogwood

Mornin Mornin

and

Coffee is on!

Light is broken the skies

as I sit here thinking sure is good to be home!

Nana's girl Olivia

takes the field today

as

she will run like a wild pony

and defend the goal

on her

soccer team

like a little bulldog!

with those sweet ankles and feet

swift

and the mind

and

heart of a warrior!

STOMP

For this I give great thanks

and

so

it is beautiful! 

Heard from my friend EE and son

out

there in the wild west of Colorado

yesterday

the journey now

complete

and

the best news of all

they have found their new home

their offer accepted

and

now

A Dream Turns To Reality

right here

as spring is upon us

<>

A time for

NEW BEGINNINGS

Dreams do come true

when the plans are laid,

and

you work the plan.

Tony Robbins once said,

"LIFE IS EITHER INSPIRATION OR DESPERATION"

Congratulations friends

on

working the plan

and

seeing

Dreams turn to realities

out there in

Those Rocky Mountains!

Well

you know it's always about the

extremes in life

once can't see to just have a celebration

and joy

and

dreams realized

without

someone who has power in

a

US government system

coming into your day

and shooting your spirit full of holes

and

making an otherwise great day

go to hell in a hot minute!

Also heard about a story yesterday

that put my body into a hot boil

on behalf of someone

that I have to

scratch my head and wonder

about

once again

systems

and people who sit behind the desk of

computers and determine the fates of those who

are dependent on Medicare/Medicaid

for needed services and

are truly

dependent upon those services

for their "activities of daily living"

and

quality of life.

Remembering that our brains process information

received at lightning speeds

and that

what is said and done to us

then affect our very nervous system which has a tremendous impact on our bodies.

So

those bodies that are already ill, chronically or periodically then suffer greatly when receiving

ugly or hateful information

(particularly when rendered by those in power to help or assist us in the helping fields and those in power to continue our benefits for continued care)

So then

because of an "eligibility" worker not listening

and

it being a Friday probably,

or

someone peeing in her cheerios

she decided to be

and

"made a conscious choice"

to be unprofessional and ugly in her phone conversation with someone about transferring her care to another agency for care,

and in the process of all of this

she

HALTED ALL BENEFITS

rendering this person hysterical and in shock

and scared out of her mind

that she had now no coverage for medication

and medical attention.

Did I mention

we are talking a "heart patient" here

and

a Cancer Patient

dependent on a relative for care???

We are all aware of the impact of

stress on illness

and

ONE PERSON

working for the

US government

has done this

and

oh boy was I "hot" under the collar and

appalled.

And yes,

it will be attended to, yes, it will be rectified.

BUT

the trauma that was inflicted

the pain that was caused

the harm that was done

the stress that was put on the body of a good person who is entitled to the benefits

the body that now must catch up

the messages that were processed by the brain

and

then sent throughout the system

INEXCUSABLE

Shame on Lady

and

you have certainly set yourself and your agency

up

for

AN ABUSE CASE

which is what I shared with this person.

AND

I pray that once again strong and recovered

from the actions

that she and her family

will follow through with it.

Our marvelous brains

our ability to cope in

good and bad stress is remarkable

but

make no mistake

stress is stress

and the body reacts swift as lightning

to stress.

It takes time to recover from

really wonderful events

and

also

to events of trauma

as described above, and to events of sudden, perceived or real threats of impact, illness, death, or grief.

Take BEST Care of yourselves dear ones.

Believe in the wonder of you, the magic of your dreams,

WORK YOUR PLAN.

never ever ever let anyone diminish you or your dreams. Hold tightly to your personal power,

in any situation.

YOU ARE YOUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE.

tHIS is a great day to share this profound video once again... You will probably want to see it more than once. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU

Where ever you are today

Make this a day to be proud of who and what you are.

STand with dignity, stand with pride of YOU

and

Know this

DREAMS DO COME TRUE

The fire is burning, the embers are hot, with thoughts and prayers on the wind for all in the prayer bowl and all who enter here.

STOMP

Walk in Beauty,
