On Integrity... and honor on a MONDAY across the globe ... yes IT Is MONDAY

Good morning Monday friends across the world!

Sometimes a post is too powerful, its lessons and message too strong to only leave for a day, it's prayers, hopes and healing ways too much to let another thought take it

and perhaps let it go too quick.

After it was read by my dear cuzzie Angie, and talked about with my beloved Godson by her; after she heard his "quick to react anger/opinion/attitude"

after he wanted to "rule" her day and that of his little brother:

my phone rang with a number I did not know;

so I answered in my usual way:

"Dr Showalter", .... (pause) then hearing a flat voice say, "this is Dvante" (pause)...

I said, "to what do I owe this occurance/pleasure of hearing your voice D'Vante?"

This is where you may want to sit down you coffee; men, women, coaches of VA TECH and across the globe:

My 17 year old Godson says:

"My Mom thought I should call"

(very long silence)

The Godmother reply: "REally... Really?, that is why you have called my number today?"

The heart of my heart 17 year old Godson who has disrespected me which is what the real issue is; then says:

"Yea, and I do NOT think I did anything wrong"

It is important to always

B R E A T H E

The Godmother who has loved him all of his life, has had his back even during those times he was not always right-side

replies:

"D'Vante, when YOU think it a good idea to call ME, when YOU have something to say to ME, when YOU can accept responsibility for YOU and act with INTEGRITY HONESTLY,

then perhaps YOU should think it a good idea to call me

and

then... perhaps WE can have a conversation.

Have a great senior year, a great football season.

Good-bye"

*click*

Let' see, where did I put that name, number of that pastor that my Godson says is the only "word" of God

 he believes in or that matters to him

since he must be reading from a book that has been altered on respect of elders, of respect of all living things,

of honor

of the God which lives within us...

ah yes, and the coach of VA Tech, I know he reads this blog ...

Interesting the impact of one boy when the stone is thrown in hast into the river and the effects as it ripples out to so many...

the effects felt by all.

Not that this lesson along with wolf has not been taught mind you!

Monday Morning Message:

Children in Southwest Virginia are headed to school today, starting off a new year, (and perhaps across the country as well.)

Kamryn has told me last year, he is "ready/focused/excited"

and plans to hit that honor role!

Kids are excited in the most part; they are ready to see friends,

feel the structure and to learn

and heaven knows parents/grandparents, and the communities are ready as well!

Our children must be taught and held accountability, responsibility, kindness and

RESPECT.

If not now,

when?

Kam will hit 10 on Wednesday,

his fav Auntie Dot has already gifted him his

"off the hook IPOD" that he has dreamed about;

it is goin to be the best evah gift

I am told;

just as last year folks heard of D'Vante receiving his

IMAC from his Godmother;

his best and most surprising gift ever!

Kamryn was popping the bubble wrap in excitement for his brothers' excitement so loud as I was on the phone sharing the birthday that it was hard to hear

but

so thrilling to see the pictures that

Angie kept sending on the text

of the party going on

each so excited for and about D'Vante

and

his day

after they arrived at his favorite restaurant

only to find

"da Godmother had arranged from a distance a gift card sitting there to cover his/my family as they enjoyed the meal!"

Last night,

Angie and Kamryn returned from a day and evening with

COB, a day that they rejoiced in the greatness of each breath,

and

little Kamryn got an early birthday gift that he has wanted

so badly

to dance to the music and all that swagga stuff,

and

he returns to his big brother with glee and excitement

needing help to "download music"

AND

can u see where this is going?

D'Vante starts issues with his Mom

asking

"where is mine? that cost more than what I got from Dot/COB,

and otherwise, being his "ungodlike self"

in his balance and check

while wearing his

senior class ring that was given to him by

"none other than COB"

and will be wearing his

letterman jacket

this year?

Message for Monday?

Where is the dance for those celebrating

THEIR SPECIAL DAY

Dancing on the desk

because someone is getting a special recognition, a birthday gift,

a kindness extended to them

a hand that pats or arms that hug

where is

the compassion, the passion

the

Creator/God that lives within

and

yes friends

"I sure hope all are feeding the right wolf"

consistantly.

Please hold my cuzzie Angie UP in your prayers,

hold her up as she needs the strength to give the structure to her boys, and continue the teaching, to use

the necessary roughness that will bring out the kindness

that our world is aching for

and

that we see in so many youth

of which I have the honor to speak to at many events.

Wado!

Gotta run,

thinkin I'll go play with the dolphins in my mind today

thinkin I'll go surprise some little kid

and

do something kind for them today.

HOW bout YOU?

Kelly TwoWolves

"My Sissy"

Family of choice

I glanced at my Godson's wall on Facebook yesterday to see if he had posted any recent pictures of his

latest football practices of those

RADFORD BOBCATS

or

if there was any updates on his life

as

I don't hear much from him these days.

AND

there on his page

I see a message from my sissy

"Kelly TwoWolves"

renowned psychic, healer, and

my "adopted sissy" out in South Dakota!

A remarkable woman she is

and

I had to look twice when I read her words to my

17 year old D'Vante:

Dvante , everywhere you go someone is always watching, And Integrity is doing the right thing even if noone is watching".

As I sat and read the words she had so eloquently written, taking the time from her busy day and sent to my

Godson, I was filled with emotion and gratitude.

I was overcome with gratitude while

thinking,

how profound those words;

how meaningful

how appropriate for particularly my Godson

as he enters his senior year of high school

and

at this particular time of his young life.

TwoWolves lives her life guided by spirit

by messages of The Creator,

by feelings so strong they could move her

and the mountains of the

Black Hills

.

of course

D'Vante is quick to answer anyone,

and unfortunately answers often with what is often short sighted and opinonated and harsh at times;

can be in reality and often viewed as

"disrespect and attitude"

rather than well thought out opinion that is grounded in loving and kindness and gentle spirit.

As I looked back later for the latest and greatest of football pictures

I saw that once again

his Godmother felt that pain of disappointment and his missing the gift he had been given as he replied to this powerful and well respected woman and friend of mine with this: [and I quote:] 

"Wise words, that's why I always live my life as God is watching, Because when my time comes his opinion is the only one that matters".

Yes, that is my 17 year old godson, (note the "always in his statement";

yes that's the same godson you've read about, seen photos of; the one who's heart beats within my chest;

 who I would defend to anyone, would fight to the death for; have stood for all of his young life up against the wall, within many situations since his birth.

I suppose it was not lost upon anyone here

nor Kelly Two Wolves

that no where in his remark

was,

"Hello Kelly KellyTwoWolves in South Dakota

 thank you for thinking of me,

with what started out lovely with at least correct

 "wise words",

I guess all noticed there was no "thank you" for thinking of me today,

nor no "take care" or "God Bless YOU" at the end.

But there was also a clear message of

"when my time comes it is HIS opinion that will be the only opinion that matters";

 which to any intellegent person

is translated to

"I do not care about the thoughts or opinions or standards of anyone NOW or in the future, only MINE"

and that was from one who has yet to start their life,

God spare his life, he has yet to begin.

The Creator, Universal Oneness (God) lives within each of us

and therefore

when one says that the opinions/thoughts/help/suggestions of others mean nothing (at the young age of 17

it means

"nothing nor no one matter but me and my opionion"

as we are the God manifest within ourselves.

Our living is that which matters

and it is in our

integrity, our service to others

that we enhance our Creator/God within

to live the best lives possible in the eyes

of the Creator/God within

that is based in love, kindness, respect for all living things

walking with gentleness and goodness to and for those we love and meet along the way.

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion." ~Abraham Lincoln

Most would be excited or over the top

to recieve their own message from

a person of the stature of

KellyTwoWolves, known across the world

and be rather amazed.

He can be a loving and caring individual,

and that is witnessed mostly with his

best pals and their parents I hear from a distance;

he can be so much

more

based in love and that he has been loved deeply

and continues to be.

BUT

it is how he chooses to be that seems

to be giving him difficulty

now that he approaches his senior year

where the rubber meets the road

and

will now chart his course for his life.

One thing he has learned through the years

I do believe

"One does NOT lie, cheat, steal, nor disrespect

the Godmother"

Just not how I roll nor believe

nor live my life

><

funny thing is this:

when he was but a babe; he had a "wolf" stuffed one that was given to him by his Godmother, to watch over him, he was told the story of the two wolves...

BUT

now he says:

"I don't believe in the wolf story I believe in god"

and

of course there is that tatt

I bought and he has on his chest for his birthday

"where there is god there is light"

BUT

where is his light

and understanding

that the wolf story is within

and is the same

...

...

I did notice later that

Kelly TwoWolves posted again to

D'Vante, who is My Godson, my heart, a 17 year old'

one whose life has yet to begin,

but with the thought of his remarks

sounds as though he will not really care

or love until he dies and then leave his life's work

and

legacy up to The Creator

and

the "opinion"

which just boggles my mind

...

"where the is god there is light"

as it is not tattooed across his chest

and

I have to wonder does that mean anything for his life

and the many many years

that he will walk among humans

living?

WHERE IS THIS LIGHT

is what others think and how they are treated

do not matter in the day to day schema

to this boy?

So... now my heart aches for what he has become in his thoughts, actions and self-abosrbed beliefs it seems.

And TwoWolves and spirit led her in saying? 

 I could have never said better,

but

he probably does NOT understand, (nor is he interested in expanding that understanding it appears)

although he is of his mothers' blood, My Mothers' blood

of my blood

and

of

Granny's blood.

TwoWolves simply and with kindness said this:

"I sure hope you are feeding the right wolf"

And yet, my Godson did not call his godmother to ask

what does this mean, although he has been told the story since he was two; he used to have a wolf sitting in his bedroom that held the story.

He did not call to say,

What does this mean, and will you talk to me,

I'm so sorry that I have caused such pain and what can I do.

He did not message Two Wolves

the renowned psychic and friend of his Godmother with questions... Perhaps he thinks he knows all the answers.

Many say: typical for a teenager.

BUT,

that is not good enough; he is not typical

he is MY Godson,

I expect more from my blood, my heart

and a boy that has been loved and shown

the ways of love all of his life through

compassion kindness and touch.

the Tale of The Two Wolves with each of YOU/US:

Cherokee Legend has a most beautiful story

one that is most appropriate for this world

for our children and for ourselves

in this world and day to day lives.

A young one sat with his Elder one time who told him:

child; within all of us lives inside, two wolves at battle:

One is EVIL, it is anger, ugliness, rage, greed, hatefulness, jealously, meanness, darkness, horror, sorrow, regret

AND YET SO MUCH MORE

The other is JOY, peace, kindness, love, faith, tenderness, hope, belief, acceptance, light, happiness, magical moments, acceptances, pride, honor,truth, integrity,

AND YET SO MUCH MORE

The young one had listened hard and said very seriously,

Well, please tell me... which one "wins"?

the Elder smiled gently, touching the child with such love and

simply said,

"THE ONE YOU FEED"

Dear friends,

I hope you are feeding the right wolf

and

my Godsons and Olivia, my hearts and future;

I pray

YOU are always nurturing and feeding

the right wolf, as they have been taught, nurtured

and

encouraged with each kind word and embrace through the years.

thank-you Kelly TwoWolves

for thinking of

my Godson D'Vante today.

Please forgive his arrogance and rude response to you,

he has been raised better,

and

deep inside he has been taught better.

>< 

"Choose being kind over being right and you'll be right every time, and The Creator/God/dess will take a liking to you and always be there for you."

BUT

make no mistake,

you cannot fool the Creator/God or Goddess

and

Creator don't like "ugly"

and

remember friends

I will share with you readers,

should you desire a reading

with

"the real deal"

in the way of a psychic

please give

Kelly TwoWovles

a call to schedule it!

I have had many readings with her,

and

she is

"amazing, she always gives you what you need and so much more">

and when you tell me, she sounds and laughs like me,

you will not be the first!

But most importantly

YOU will NOT be disappointed with the time spent with her.

kellytwowolves@yahoo.com

She is also a remarkable artisan

and

to visit her recent offerings (she's havin a great sale)

visit

http://www.twowolvescreations.com/

i am most honored to call her my "sissy", my friend.

And tonight

I ask

"sissy please accept my apologies for the rudeness of my Godson".

Please hold him UP in lodge, in prayer and ask that the Elders of the Black Hills also keep him in their prayers.

><

May the Universal Oneness that is within each of your, the god/goddess manifest that lives strong

allow you to remember all that you are

and

that you have all that you need to

DO MORE, be more

in the service to others

which in turn allows you to live fuller, live richer

and

that is the intention of your creation.

It is in the giving of self

that the light burns brighter

in acts of love and kindness to those we see, those we know

and those we call family.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'” Martin Luther KingWe only have now to make things right, to embrace this moment,

to be accountable for ourselves and our actions,

and

our lives.

UPDATE:

Olivia in Marlyland is doing wonderfully and looking forward to another great school year; feeding the right wolf and enjoying each moment of each day, playing soccer and running like a pony with wild abandon on those ankles with no problems,

while 'the Mama" Joan and I continue to greive our baby Olivia who is now 11 and so lovely and kind

as she enters a new year of school

looking more grown up each day!

Kamryn is getting ready for birthday #10

and just tickled as he can be

after a day with his Mom and auntie Dot

where he ate and ate and ate,

while shopping til he dropped

all is great in Kamryn world.

Kamryn turns 10 on Wednesday!

D'Vante was with seniors this weekend,

and in the morning is taking his

Mom to the coaches breakfast

for "dad's and players"

as his Mom is both Dad/Mom

and I am thrilled that she will sit there beside him

and

hopefully be introduced to all and

receive a round of applause

for being both!

EE in Colorado was taken to the ER

as her eyes began to have blood and broke into blisters secondary from the IV given for the heart tests and is in severe pain but now with eye treatment under her loving son's care.

><

Sandy and Stuart are working hard,

as Sandy prepares for a birthday on Tuesday

and

now that Stu has "3 wives" we are giving him a hard time on making her day extra special and plan to seize his wallet to ensure her a special special birthday

while he plans to kick it off with serving her

breakfast in bed!

He still says his negotiating [powers] with the three of us has been greatly diminished!

And we love that!

Oprah babe, still watiing...

An Epidemic of Leaving Kids IN Cars? C;mon NOW...

Nana's Girl

(oh how I  love "the look")

and how fitting the look for today's thoughts:

as I think,

R U KIDDING ME?

We now have an Epidemic of

people leaving kids in the cars

during the HEAT OF SUMMER

and they are dying in a hot minute according to

newspapers and reports across the country...

One of the main reasons this is happening

is reported to be:

HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT

and

get ready for

"the look"

(scroll up if need be)

"People are forgetting that their kids are in the backseat of the car"

as they are more hurried, and often just want/need to run in to the store for something!

Now we are reading that a suggestion for those traveling with children is to put a "post it" note on the dashboard

to serve as a reminder that a child is in

the car or in the back seat!

"REALLY"?

Are we so addle brained in our driving that we do not know or do not remember placing them there?

Do they not make noise?

What in the world ?

The latest statistics on child deaths is so great that now we are calling it an epidemic?

Not because of a disease,

but

because of

"recklessness" it appears.

Before Olivia was able to give us

"the look" that the Nana just delights in,

she looked like this:

Who could forget that she was in the backseat buckled in the car?

Even for a quick stop to the store in 100 degree heat?

With the car running the A/C on

and 500 things on your mind...

How do you forget?

Yes, I agree folks are busy these days!

I agree with the article I read about

kids sleep and get quiet;

some I hear put kids in the car and drive them around to soothe them at times,

because a car will put a kid to sleep in a quick second when at home they will just not get settled,

BUT to FORGET?

This article I read stated that in 2009

there were 33 children who died in cars with the average age of children being from

5 days to 14 years old!

31% DIED OF HYPERTHERMIA DEATHS..

and

wouldn't it stand to reason

that Florida

has ranked second in heat related deaths

for kids and I would suspect animals as well

as

I see idiots with their four-leggeds out on days that we know those little creatures would prefer staying in their comfortable homes.

Texas is first in child related deaths while

California ranks third.

these are preventable tragedies, and ones that people will live with the rest of their lives

and it just boggles my mind how anyone

could possibly say

"I forgot my child was in the car".

They did put them in the car, or they were present when someone else did ... right?

Did you know that a child's body temperature climbs three to five times faster than an adults, especially in a hot car? Something to think about when you are out on a hot day, and you have a child; or perhaps know someone with a child.

Good to know if you perhaps see a child

or

an animal unattended in a vehicle

and

"wonder" shall I intervene by WALKING into a store and looking for the owner of either, or call the police or 911.

I say

"do NOT waste time, find a way to get in that car

and

perhaps save a life."

In less than 30 minutes, the temperature inside a car can increase 35 degrees.

Ever seen an old person sitting inside a car with only a window cracked?

An animal?

Imagine in this age of tinted windows... is there a child in a car seat in the back seat ?

Are they dying as you are wondering whether to intervene?

WAKE UP people,

what are you thinking?

That infant you forgot about while you went in to buy milk and a lottery ticket and oh by the way,

"hello neighbor"

can die in as little as 15 minutes even on a day

of 75 degrees.

Now given that I keep it real,

 have to tell you I almost came out of the chair, as I read this part:

"even the most conscientious parents can overlook a sleeping baby in a vehicle".

OVERLOOK?

Yes, memory experts point out that if you've ever forgotten a pot left burning on a stove, you know how easy it is to have a dangerous memory lapse.

BUT,

we are talking living breathing children, animals and elders in YOUR car here.

...

Kamryn when he still had sweet smelling feet!

Now Kamryn has always gone to sleep in a car,

still does...

Try as I might to forget him, to not feed him,

to otherwise just ignore him,

WHO COULD IGNORE, FORGET AND BASICALLY

NOT JUST LOVE HIM

OR

ALL THE CHILDREN THEY HAVE IN THEIR VEHICLES?

but

to have to put a post it note as advised in the article

or

Put a picture of your child on your dashboard to serve as a reminder that they are in the backseat?

C'mon now people...

slow your behind down if you are that busy

or

STOP DRIVING WITH CHILDREN, ANIMALS AND ELDERS IN YOUR CAR..

Check out your car before entering it; kids are notorious for using unlocked cars as forts, as play areas, as whatever they are up to (I cannot imagine them leaving the comforts of the gaming room of home though)

BE SAFE.

and

your animals...

See those 4 leggeds in cars out there friends?

See their tongues hanging out and hear their barks?

The window that is open just enough to make them want some air?

Imagine how hot that car gets in a moment of time,

and take a look at how many deaths by heat

animals are suffering

and

ask yourself...

why is this happening?

Gypsy loves to ride in a car!

BUT

you will never ever see her in one unattended.

In this article I read where our wonder Rick Butcher, Tarpon Springs Fire Chief stated that a motor vehicle starts to heat up the minute the engine is turned off.

I LOVE the Tarpon Springs Fire Department,

we bake and send them goodies every once in awhile just because we "get it" as to the work they do;

after all they SAVED our neighbors/friends

home next door,

and

they are out there as first responders everyday.

But I had to laugh when Rick said that

"many good samaritans" report quickly such cases as children left in unattended cars and that it is

ILLEGAL IN FLORIDA to leave children unattended in a motor vehicle.

Good Samaritans?

I would think that people with a heart, good bad or indifferent would bust a window out of a car in a hot minute if they saw a child, animal or Elder

left unattended in a car in the heat.

Let the chips fall on the person who claims

"I forgot they were there"

or

"I was only gone a few minutes".

There is an organization for more information should you need it:

http://www.kidsandcars.org/

But, it just may be I've given you all you need

to be alert to what may be one of the

most outrageous acts that could cause death

of children, animals and Elders

and

is preventable.

what a thing to have to live with the rest of your life and to think you would have to say;

"memory experts liken this to leaving a pot on a stove, and I left my child in the back seat without putting their picture on the dashboard to remind me they were there."

Perhaps putting purses there, or cell phones in their car seat would help?

Oh lawd, what a thought...

and now

they SELL alarms for this:

these alarms remind people when they have

LEFT A CHILD UNATTENDED!

There are also devices that "hook" to the car seat or the child restraint seat that sounds an alarm on a key ring if a person walks away from a vehicle with a child still in the seat...

Perhaps the warriors here could have a round table and together we could create or invent

an alarm for

"I've lost my mind, and should not have children or transport anyone but myself".

Creator bless the Child, The animal

and The Elders, keep them from harms way

and

those behind the wheel.

Remember when ?

You could ride your kids in the front seat, no air bags, no shoulder belts,

and

drank from the garden hose,

had to be in for supper and you always seemed to know when supper was?

No one forgot you in those times did they?

The fire is burning brightly, the sage is lit.

Prayers going up to all who know who they are, and some that don't.

I am now on that quest I have let you all know about for EE in Colorado and that power chair that is broken.. I have sent an email to the CEO of a company that works with those things, and asked for his help.

AND, maybe he will be a hero, and one who is talked about here,

OR

maybe he will just be talked about here!!!

EE is recovering from testing in Colorado, still waiting for updates from Shannon In WI on Rod in MI.,

COB is Cancer free we have been told, and she is now ready to rejoin the dance of her life.

Chris, is doing wonderfully, and states that she reads each day the thoughts here and is proudly wearing

PINK our breast cancer survivor is minus the "culprits" but doing great!

Kids are preparing to get back to school,

and

cuzzie Ang is preparing to put in work at her college classes at night while working F/T and raising those two godsons of mine, both suiting up for some football. Kamryn #15 and D'Vante in his senior year playing varsity #51!

So then,

what are you up to on this fabulous Friday!

I smell the weekend...

Healing Heartaches, Stories of Loss and Life

Oprah?

still waiting on her we are!

Have you noticed?

Look at Those Wings

of

the

Awesome Eagle

Have you noticed?

The light is changing and it's getting darker earlier friends.

Oh my yep,

fall is just around the corner it is!

You can see it

in the light of these days, and sure can notice

as the darkness comes on a bit earlier each evening.

It is hard to imagine, that already schools are preparing for students to return;

here in Tarpon Springs

after cuts into budgets that make me wonder how

they will educate or keep lights on

the kids will be returning soon as well.

Here in Tarpon Springs High School

(not so big a school)

11 teachers were cut, 

another 17 positions eliminated,

bringing the total of 

24 teachers in two years

to a small town

and

a 

high school here ...

And we expect to educate the future 

exactly how?

Meantime the 

speaker of the house is making over

250K plus health care benefits for life

I think it is.

And I wonder,

whose house is he speaking for?

Certainly not mine.

Perhaps the Eagle

would speak more clearly

and

educate our youth

and

speak more clearly for me and mine,

with straight eyes and clean talons/hands

while protecting and serving all.

As we are fast approaching

the

10 year anniversary of 9/11

I have just read that

there are

NO FIRST RESPONDERS INVITED TO THE EVENT

and 

I wonder

HOW CAN THIS BE...

and

there are folks who continue to ridicule, judge, condemn, and otherwise disrespect

the leader of our country

and 

I can't help but wonder

how does this help us as a country stand

UNITED as the greatest country in the world,

how does this teach our children

to be respectful to their Elders, to their educators,

to their family

and 

I cannot help but wonder

when 

will we get it truly understand.

We do NOT have to like whoever it is 

sitting in that white house,

but

we 

DO NEED TO RESPECT THE FACT

THAT FOR THE MOMENT

THEY ARE THE PERSON 

WHO IS THE LEADER OF OUR COUNTRY

AND

WE AS A NATION NEED TO STAND

ARM IN ARM

UNITED

IN ORDER TO SHOW THE WORLD

WE ARE THE USA

WE ARE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE

WE

STAND

and

our 

COLORS DO NOT RUN

We teach our children respect

through our behaviors and actions

in our country, our community and our homes.

I have to tell you,

heaven help us

if we have to listen to the likes of

Michelle Bachmann all through the season 

as she

likened John Wayne's birthplace to the actual state of a serial killer John Wayne Cody

and 

"Happy Birthday Elvis"

recently when it was NOT his birthday nor was he in her audience.

I think Palin just lost her status, and now has a replacement for "OH NOOO did you hear what she just said"....

Yep, it's goin to be a long few months on the political trails of "ugly in action",

so you might want to order your copies of

Healing Heartaches,

They Called Me Invisible

and

any good movies out there

or 

just get out and have a great time

watching the light change.

BUT

make no mistake,

in that 

White House

in D.C.

is not easy place to be, no matter your party line, no matter your bed or room you sleep.

No Matter who says they love you today in that political room, I wouldn't trust em in a dark room as far as I could throw them,

but

we as a Nation,

need to stop this madness of 

slamming our President

and

now stand as 

AMERICANS

together

and together for and with those wearing Uniforms

in great gratitude

as

we remember

><

Like Warren Buffet recently said, and said so well,

"It's past time to coddle the billionaires, let's start those cuts on the deficit there".

I have always loved and admired 

Warren Buffet,

and would just love an opportunity to sit and have a cup of coffee or something stronger

and

listen to him talk awhile...

I bet I would learn a lot from that man.

Thankyou

FIRST RESPONDERS OF 9/11

I think of you everyday

and

I hold you in my heart always. http://news.yahoo.com/behind-the-scenes-look-at-9-11-memorial.html

WE WILL NEVER FORGET 9/11

The fire is burning

its embers are hot

The sage is lit,
