Just a note to update you and tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving, though a few days early

I just moved back to California from being in Arizona for awhile. I sure missed CALI, back in CALI, Cali.

I have lived most of my life in CALI, and it is nice to know I can reach the ocean in an hour or two at the most. There is something about listening to the waves, watching them, and smelling the ocean breeze that is so calming and peaceful it is unbeliveable. It you live far from any ocean you owe yourself a treat to visit the incredible creation from God and his helper Mother Nature.

Just walking the beach, and feeling the sand between your toes, and the breeze in your face is so refreshing it is hard to explain. You feel so revitalized in such a short time, all your cares and woes tend to go out to sea with the breeze.

Life itself is so stressful, even when everything is going right, we still need time to clear our head and start anew with a fresh outlook on everything going on no matter what it is. Life is just too short to NOT REGROUP, so we can GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE.

Never forget to Dance, Love, Sing, Live, and Laugh every day. I MEAN EVERYDAY. It doesn’t matter who is watching or listening or if you are afraid. Life is TOO SHORT, NOT TO LIVE. There are NO DO OVER’s, at least none we would be aware of, so ENJOY. Live by my philosophy:

Dance, like nobody is watching
Love, like you will never get hurt
Sing, like nobody is listening
Love, like it is Heaven on Earth,
And NEVER, evern let a day go by without laughing, even if it is at yourself.

Til, Later, and just in case I don’t have a chance to post before Thanksgiving, EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT ONE, AND DON’T FORGET TO GIVE THANKS – FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE – and Thank God to always being there and supporting you along your journeys. Well, have 4 of my 8 grandkids this week, so really crazy around here. Talk soon!

GET THE BEST OF STRESS – HELP PREVENT BREAST CANCER – CONTINUE THROUGH OUT THE YEAR

Knowing is NOT ENOUGH

Keeping tension at bay calls for day-to-day stress management. Learn healthy ways to unwind, such as yoga, meditation, or reading uplifting books. Stay ahead of clutter by putting things away promptly and organizing paperwork.

To prevent small issues from growing into problems, talk them out with someone you trust. Getting enough sleep, exercise, and good nutrition also fortifies you to combat stress.

In todays world everything moves so fast, there are sometimes more stressors than not. I know I have had my share, especially lately. I call it all ” STUFF ”. Whether we like it or not STUFF will get in our way, distract our logic, or calmness, and sometimes just get us off track. We need to each find a way that works for us to bring us back to the center where we are balanced.

I know how important sleep is, and when you can’t sleep well, you really realize how much it is necessary for our overall well being. Find a routine that puts you back in to a clam, relaxed state before trying to sleep. One thing that helps me alot, is soaking in a hot bath, and doing nothing, but relaxing my tense muscles and aches and pains. This seems to make it easier to minimize my restless legs which drive me nuts, making sleeping even harder.

Cherish you body, you have been given one. Sometimes we have been given a second chance in life, as I have, and I try and correct the issues before they are full blown. Stress alone will wipe out your body in ways you can not believe. I know stress really makes my fibromyalgia so much worse. Another thing that helps me clear my -overly busy head- is Sudoku puzzles, or listening to Subliminal music while trying to unwind. Reading from my Bible, or prayer book and the like is also calming. Some days it takes doing all of the above, but at least I get to a point finally in which my brain shuts off to let me sleep.

Here is to all of you – A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. Our bodies rejuvenate beyond belief, just from sleep.
Here is to another wonderful OCTOBER – NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.

Stay Strong at Heart

Keep on Moving, never stop.

Lower your risk for heart disease by taking a few heart-smart measures. For starters, choose a diet low in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and sodium

Strengthen your heart with 30-60 minutes of moderate-level activity, such as brisk walking, at least five days a week.

Managing stress, losing weight if needed, and avoiding tobacco and secondhand smoke also play important roles in heart health.

Sometimes we just don’t take time to think about our BODY, we only get one of those to work with and live with for many years. We may do it justice or injustice, the choice is ours. Many of our choices are without thought, but when we take the time to cherish our body, our temple, and take care of it properly it will give us long and healthy lives.

Taking care of one area, the heart for example, will actually do wonders for everything else. Cancer, heart, diabetes and many other diseases actually link together. Starting today cherish your temple, give it the love and care you would give to someone else. Never forget yourself in this busy world. If we don’t keep ourselves strong how can we help others stay strong.

October – National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hello everyone.
Let me start with an apology. This year has been extremely busy and complicated, health, finances, family, friends, and more. The time just ran away and I was just unable to make posts for awhile.

Things seem to be settling down a little bit, though stuff and life goes on. I am desparately trying to get back on track and continue MY MISSION – to help save lives through education and inspiration.

OCTOBER always reminds us, and that is a good thing, of the long and tedious journey ahead of all of us to stop this MONSTER – BREAST CANCER!!  Yes, I call it a monster, for lack of a better description.  A monster that not only destroys the stricten patient, but all those associated with the patient. It affects ones physical health, everyones mental and emotional health and don’t forget everyones financial health – thst is quickly demolished, too.

Please stay with me and check out my sites for information on physical, mental, emotional and financial health.  I will also bring you ideas to help reduce the stress of daily living.  You see most of us get caught up just in LIFE, forgetting to relax, enjoy, stop and smell the roses, catch a rainbow, enjoy the beauty and masterful creations GOD has given all of us. We need to relearn what keeps us ALIVE, not just breathing.

Get new ideas of hobbies, family activities, new interests and many other things to make life easier. This IS The Information Age. All of us yearn to find out how to. . , learn new things, new languages, new places you want to know more about.  When you think of it – the less idle our minds AND bodies are the more overall health we will achieve.

Til later, keep

in touch, join my blog to stay up to date.

Don’t miss anything – beauty, joy, and much of life is free- enjoy!!

Thought for the day!!

Plan for your future,  life, health and overall happiness and joy.

Have your agenda include good nutrition, physical activity, ample sleep and relaxation, and recommended health tests and screenings.

If you use tobacco, this is your chance to quit for good adding years to your life.  The little lifestyle changes will add up to longevity, as well as less chance of disease.  Start today! You don’t have to wait until January 1, to begin your new life.  Today IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE – meet you on the trail.
I recently went for a 3 mile hike.  Wow, was I shocked that my son didn’t have to carry me back to the car.  Do it with someone, after chatting for awhile I was so surprised how far we went.

What makes this so remarkable to me is the following:  1. It has been so many years since I have walked even blocks.  2. I have been living with fibromyalgia for well over 10 years.  3.  In 2004 I had 3 foot surgeries.  4.  I have a degenerative spine from an auto accident, which caused many of my health issues.  5.  2006 began my very long journey to truly stay and BE ALIVE. My first cancer grew from 0 to golf ball size over night, the next 3 weeks to tennis ball size, and another 4 weeks to larger than 2 tennis balls.  Stage llla. 6. 9 surgeries and 2 more diagnosis’ followed in the next 5+ years.

I tell you not to say what I did, but to let you know NEVER QUIT, DON’T EVER GIVE UP, STAY POSITIVE, FIGHT THE FIGHT THAT NEEDS TO BE FOUGHT – PRAY AND THANK GOD for everyday you get to live.  I know I am alive today because Gods plan for me and my mission is to SHARE MY JOURNEY with as many as possible.

I pray with all my heart I will inspire others and keep them learning how to keep building your inner strengths so that you too will live long enough to truly amaze YOURSELF!!  AND GOD!!  AND ALL WHO KNOW YOU OR ARE YET TO MEET YOU!!

YOU ARE AMAZING!!  YOU ARE UNIQUE!!  YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND, A TRUE DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH – use each day to polish your diamond.

You will find that setting specific goals AND rewarding yourself when you reach them keeps you motivated.  Remember that even small lifestyle changes make a big difference.

My philosophy of life:

DANCE, like nobody is watching
LOVE, like you will never get hurt
SING, like nobody is listening
LIVE, like it is Heaven on Earth
AND NEVER, EVER let a day go by without LAUGHING, even if it is at YOURSELF!!

So long for now.  Please join me on my quest to help others live long, healthier, more joyful lives.!!

A Secured Loan Can Help Help Your Credit History

If you need some help with your finances, selecting a loan secured on your property should be beneficial for your purposes. Some people do apply for the secured loan for the sole reason of improving their credit rating. There are usually no restrictions on how the loan is used and this is a viable option to pursue if you are in need of credit repair. You can possibly improve your credit rating by simply making the payments on time and repaying the loan with no problems.

An personal loan is much harder to obtain than a secured loan is. You will most likely not be able to obtain an unsecured loan if you have bad credit or a poor credit history. Unsecured loans are granted solely on your present credit score while the home owner loans require some sort of collateral to assure the lender of payment. When personal property such as cars, houses, boats, or other high dollar items are used to secure a loan, the borrower has more at risk to lose if the loan falls into default.

You are doing yourself a great favor when you pay off your secured loan without any problems; you will possibly be regaining not only a more favorable credit rating but also more personal faith in your abilities to handle your finances. This should be enough incentive to do your best to repay in a timely manner and retrieve your property from risk of loss. When you live up to the promises involved with a secured loan the lender will be more likely to want your repeat business.

Most loan professionals will take your employment status and your total income into consideration but your credit rating may still be the major factor which determines your loan approval. When the interest rate on the loan is established, the main point of consideration is the credit rating. A higher rate of interest is charged when you have a poor credit history.

The services of a loan specialist broker may be of assistance when you want to obtain a credit repair secured loan. The loan specialist will help you examine each part of a possible selection of loan quotes and assist you in choosing the one that will suit your circumstances best. The internet has many online loan specialists who can assist you in your search for the right secured loan quote. You will hopefully find the one who offers the best and least expensive option for the borrower.

There may be other loan specialist brokers in your local vicinity and you may want to call on them in person. A more direct confrontation could be what you prefer when you are trying to borrow money.

Using a loan of any type to help repair your credit rating may seem a little odd, because you are actually borrowing more money to cover your mishandling of past finances. To leave a bad credit history behind you, a secured loan could be a good first step toward your financial freedom.

Prepare for October – National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Its been awhile since I did a posting. I apologize to all of you. Just so much going on in my life these days. Back for all my various checkups again, they are every 3-6 months. So far, so good. Still CANCER FREE!!! That is so important to keep me going. Have a little trouble with my kidney they are testing, but I KNOW IT WILL BE OK, TOO.

This is My Genesis, the beginning of my new lease on life. As I am rebuilding my inner and outer strength I am focusing on just “being alive.” We don’t alwlays get a second chance on life, and I am taking full advantage of every moment of my life. Life is GOOD, it is BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL, and I have never been HAPPIER IN MY LIFE. Even though times have been very tough for several years, I get stronger every day. I am working on developing my financial freedom to Live My Dreams with my new Love.

Its amazing when you get a new chance with life, you look at the world entirely different. I have always been a happy, motivated, goal setting person, but while being sick for many years it was really difficult to maintain the same attitude. The day I heard CANCER FREE, I instantly became so ALIVE, and wanting to do everything I had not accomplished yet, no matter how difficult. I am also on a mission to help as many people as I can by promoting breast cancer awareness and prevention. As I load my books in my store, I have become for focused. I will be focusing on physical, mental, emotional and financial health. All of these areas are important for prevention, and preparation so that you will get through any crisis or trauma.

The following are the words I am living by to the fullest. I am putting everything out there. Life is too short not too.

DANCE, LIKE NOBODY IS WATCHING
LOVE, LIVE YOU WILL NEVER GET HURT
SING, LIKE NOBODY IS LISTENING
LIVE, LIKE IT IS HEAVEN ON EARTH.

I hope you will find these words as enlightening and inspirational as I do. I am always singing and dancing everywhere. I am loving like I have never loved before, and its wonderful. And LIVING everyday to the fullest like it might be your last day. Check out my other blog – Betchaboops Blogger – focus – Life after cancer, Heaven on Earth, and My Vision of Paradise. Life is what you make of it, and from now on I am making the most of my dreams, my loves, and enjoying everything God created, and helping those I can.
