"The doctors said nothing could cure my cancer. But... Within two months, every tumor had shrunk, dried up, and fallen off." -- Tom, on the miraculous disappearance of his rapidly spreading cancer. New hope for CANCER patients... Why should you or a loved one suffer from this dreadful disease when so many effective, natural cures are available right now? Tom had already gone through surgery once for skin cancer on his forehead. Unfortunately, his skin cancer was a melanoma -- the type you definitely don't want to get. It spreads quickly and it's deadly. Just 10 days after the operation, the cancer was back with a vengeance. It reappeared on his forehead, and quickly spread to his arm, upper body, and chest. Four doctors all agreed: There was nothing they could do to cure this cancer. They all still wanted to operate. But Tom wanted to live -- not just get sliced up. Juices Send Tom's Cancer Down the Drain PROVEN on national TV! Hello. I'm Dr. Gary Null. You may have heard about my research on "Oprah"... "60 Minutes"... "20/20"... or my prime-time PBS television special. Now THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING is your chance to read about every one of these uncanny new cures for yourself and see what all the excitement is about. If your arteries are clogged with plaque, my book tells you about a simple and easy way to clear them out -- without drugs, surgery, or some inedible diet. If you have painful, badly damaged joints (from injury or arthritis), you'll discover an almost-magical treatment that stimulates your body to rebuild them. If you or a loved one gets cancer, I'll tell you about 9 natural treatments that can stop, reverse, and even cure this deadly disease. If you're depressed, you'll read about natural cures that don't require a lifetime of psychotherapy or Prozac®. (One method sometimes actually works in minutes.) If you've had a stroke, you'll find out about a natural way to reverse the damage with ordinary oxygen -- even years after. And the same goes for multiple sclerosis... Alzheimer's... allergies...any kind of pain... headaches... colds and flu... male and female problems... and 59 other health challenges. In this comprehensive book, I reveal unconventional treatments proven to stop, reverse, or cure every one of them. You'll also get plenty of inspiration -- with unforgettable stories from those who have actually experienced these remarkable treatments firsthand. Read my book FREE for 30 days. Click here now. Tom decided to do some cutting himself -- of fruits and vegetables. He chose Gerson therapy -- a treatment that uses fruit and vegetable juices (a lot of fruit and vegetable juices) to supercharge the body's immune system. "Within two months," says Tom, "every visible tumor on my body had regressed. They had shrunk, dried up, and fallen off." Tom's story is not unique. In THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING, you'll read how George was diagnosed with the most deadly of all cancers: Pancreatic. He declined to undergo the agony of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Instead, since his Gerson therapy, he's been cancer-free ever after. Gerson therapy is just one of nine proven, natural cancer treatments you'll read about in THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING, including dramatic testimonials from grateful patients. For example: Is camphor an overlooked cure for cancer? On page 714, you'll discover how a treatment made from camphor stopped Harry's massive colon tumor in its tracks... prevented the return of a child's Hodgkin's disease... and returned Rick's leukemic blood counts back to normal. The terrible-tasting miracle cure. This herbal tea blend, developed by a Canadian nurse, tastes awful. But the results are astounding. Marilyn reports on page 719 that it kept her advanced breast cancer in check (her doctors called it "a miracle"). And Lynette reveals that it completely reversed all the bone damage from her cancer. Hard-nosed diet works after radiation fails. One doctor has been very successful with an aggressive nutritional program. To be honest, it makes Weight Watchers® look like a walk in the park. But on page 721, you'll see for yourself how it made Edmund's kidney tumor completely disappear -- a tumor even radiation failed to destroy. Plus, you'll learn about these two new breakthroughs: A natural supplement that starves cancer cells by cutting off their blood supply. Page 116 How Europeans destroy cancer with their own immune systems. Uses your body's own cells to stimulate your immune system to attack and destroy the cancer. Dramatic results in Europe. The full story's on page 120. Exciting stuff, isn't it? But you're no doubt a bit skeptical. After all, it sounds almost too good to be true. That's why we're making this generous offer -- so you don't have to take our word on anything. Check out everything in THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING for yourself FREE for 30 days. Without sending any money. Without any obligation. HEART DISEASE doesn't stand a chance... "A year after I was diagnosed with severe heart disease, I went back for a test. To my doctor's surprise, the blockage was gone." -- Dr. B.,* on the surprising disappearance of his advanced heart disease Plaque-clogged arteries make your heart a ticking time bomb. Now there's a safe, easy way to clear them out -- defusing the danger and relieving any pain. Without drugs, surgery, or a radical diet. When doctors discovered a blocked artery in Dr. B.'s heart, they wanted to do an angioplasty. Quickly. Funny thing, though -- Dr. B. wasn't very keen on someone sticking a needle into an artery in his groin and threading a wire up into his heart. As a medical professional himself, perhaps he knew that: The blockage soon returns following up to half of all angioplasty procedures. In 3 to 5 cases out of 100, the procedure itself triggers a potentially deadly heart attack. In 1 to 2 cases out of 100, the patient doesn't leave the operating room alive. So Dr. B. decided first to try something safe and painless: Chelation. Pulls the calcium out of your arteries and puts it back in your bones, where you need it In 1948, a group of Detroit doctors was working with Navy veterans suffering from lead poisoning. (The Navy had used lead-based paints during World War II.) The doctors prescribed chelation, a safe and very effective way to remove heavy metals like lead from the body. It uses a special formula of amino acids to bond with the molecules of the metal so the body can flush them out. As usual, chelation worked great on the lead problem. But the doctors noticed something strange: The patients were getting better in other ways as well. They could see and hear better. Angina symptoms improved. Some could walk farther. Limps and lameness vanished. All because clogged arteries were opening up all over their bodies. It turned out that just as chelation gets rid of heavy metals, it also gobbles up calcium deposits in the body's arteries -- including potentially deadly buildups in the heart. And as a bonus, it puts that calcium back in your bones, where you need it. Dr. B. reports: "I had a tremendous increase in energy. I had younger-looking skin and I felt younger. Everyone said I looked great. A year later I went back for another stress test and, to my doctor's surprise, the blockage was gone." Many other chelation users report similar experiences. On page 609, you'll find Lee's story: "I had four arteries 100% blocked and constant pain shooting through my chest. The very first treatment removed my shooting-star chest pain." Over 500,000 people have benefited from chelation. Yet it's surprisingly unknown outside natural health circles. Is that because angioplasty and bypass surgery are a $16 billion-a-year business for doctors and hospitals? Get the facts about chelation and make up your own mind. See page 608 in your FREE preview copy of THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING. ARTHRITIS and JOINT PAIN outwitted at last... "My doctor said he never saw anybody heal so fast. He called me his phenomenon." -- Ann, on her miraculous recovery from a chronically injured joint Revolutionary therapy makes even "hopeless" knees, hips, and backs like new again -- practically overnight. After years of injuring and reinjuring a weak ankle, Ann turned to a natural treatment: Reconstructive therapy. "Now," she says, "I can participate in most activities without pain or stress. My doctor said he never saw anybody heal so fast. He called me his phenomenon." Here's how reconstructive therapy works... Rebuilds the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage of any joint in your body Reconstructive therapy uses a special mix of nutrients to trigger an explosive chain reaction of healing. First, new blood vessels grow. More blood means more oxygen and nutrients for healing and growth. Suddenly, your fibroblasts -- your body's construction engineers -- wake up and start a building boom, growing and repairing injured ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. That's why reconstructive therapy is such a godsend to people with injuries or arthritis. It's a complete joint makeover. Suddenly, traditional treatments, like painful surgery and dangerous anti-inflammatory drugs, seem like something out of the Dark Ages. Reconstructive therapy can help an almost endless list of ailments: Low back pain... arthritis... bursitis... carpal tunnel syndrome... disc problems... sciatica... tendinitis... frozen shoulder... torn ligaments... cartilage problems... athletic injuries... falls. In THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING, Al tells how a bad fall tore his knee to pieces, severing one ligament completely, and tearing a few others. The doctors warned that unless they surgically reattached the severed ligament, Al would never be able to straighten his knee again. But thanks to reconstructive therapy, Al's knee is almost as good as new. "Reconstructive therapy," he says, "brought almost immediate relief from terrible, severe pain. Miraculously, I can almost completely straighten my knee -- without any surgery whatsoever." For more on reconstructive therapy, see page 694 of THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING. The natural way to EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING... "I had been in therapy for years, but nothing seemed to lift my depression. Yet, after 15 minutes of this treatment, I felt better right away." -- Mrs. M., on her almost instant relief from depression How a powerful healing practice from the Far East recharges your body, mind, and spirit. Mrs. M.'s depression had gone on for years -- in spite of the best efforts of her psychotherapists. She was constantly tired and miserable. Can you imagine the joy she felt when she found a technique that gave her almost instant relief? What finally worked for her was Reiki, a healing technique from Japan that clears blocked physical and emotional energy. It's so simple, you can learn to do it yourself in only a day. For another woman, Reiki dramatically improved her serious memory problems. She then learned Reiki herself and used it on a friend who was very ill. "Please," said her friend's nurse, "whatever you're doing, keep on doing it." Reiki is just one of many emotional healing techniques you'll find throughout THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING. On page 646, for instance, you'll discover a special type of homeopathy that neutralizes the emotional pain of life's traumas. And don't miss: Immediate relief from anxiety. Just press a secret spot on your forehead. Transfers energy from your instinctive and irrational "lower brain" to your calm "upper brain." Page 414 Nutrients that govern your emotional well-being. If you're not getting the specific vitamins and fatty acids on page 190, you're playing Russian roulette with your brain chemistry. Quick cure for winter depression. If your symptoms usually appear in the winter, your problem may be the lack of light. For quick relief, get the new, specially designed appliance on page 192. Throw away your sleeping pills. Former insomniacs swear this fragrant oil is truly Mother Nature's Sandman. Page 18 The soybean sedative. Many call it "Nature's Valium®." Wonderfully calming, but without the adverse side effects and danger of addiction. Found in the soybean product described on page 59. Trigger euphoria whenever and wherever you like. Release your body's feel-good endorphins. Runners do it by exerting themselves. But see page 696 for a much, much easier way. The fast phobia cure.

In the bedroom, I'm more alive than ever. It's like I'm 17 all over again." -- Joe O.'s rejuvenating experience as a participant in Gary Null's antiaging study Men and women alike see their energy restored to teenage levels... wrinkles and age spots vanish... lost hair return... gray hair darken... energy explode... and chronic ailments disappear. Natural remedies and treatments do more than cure disease. They also make you look and feel younger -- without drugs, surgery, or photo retouching. That's because natural healing doesn't just cover up symptoms, as traditional medicine often does. It strengthens your body and immune system -- improving your health from the inside out. Your more youthful appearance is simply a by-product of your improved health. Gary proved this by testing the antiaging power of natural healing on 1,000 volunteers. The results were astonishing. Participants reported chronic diseases and ailments cured. Mental clarity sharpened. Youthful energy restored. Bald spots, gray hair, and wrinkles gone. Erections Last Two Hours Here's Joe speaking frankly about what Gary's antiaging techniques did for him: "I sleep more soundly and wake up more alert. I'm growing new hair in the front of my head, which was bald before, and the bald spot on the back of my head is now gone. "In the bedroom, I'm more alive than ever. I can be intimate for two hours. It's like I'm 17 all over again. "What's more, my muscular strength has almost doubled. I can play and work longer without tiring. I look forward to each new day with joy and happiness." She's 71, But Has No Need For Glasses Women, too, are turning back the calendar. Here's Marsha's report: "My vision at 71 years has remained stable, without the need for eyeglasses. Gum health has improved and my nails are strong and growing more rapidly. "My hair root color has become a speckled brown, black, and gray, where it was previously white. It also grows faster. Skin is smoother and softer. PBS Television Says Gary Can Tell You "How to Live Forever" Producers from PBS television were so impressed by results like this that they created a special full-length documentary on Gary's antiaging work: "How to Live Forever." If you want to lie about your age and get away with it, don't miss Gary's age-reversing advice in THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING. Here's a small sample: Foods that make you look years younger. Their powerful antiaging compounds literally delay aging. Page 9 Show off your legs again. Halt varicose veins by dealing with the real culprit: Your liver. (Varicose veins aren't just unsightly. They can lead to serious -- even deadly -- problems.) Page 269 Stop the sun from aging your skin. Powerful antioxidants in these fruits protect each of your cells against sun damage. See page 9. Is this why you age? When you're 60, you produce only one-tenth as much of this vital hormone as you did at 20. That's why it's such a great antiaging supplement. It can sharpen your mind, alleviate stress, and prevent cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Page 59 Get your steel-trap memory back. This herb boosts your memory by sending more blood to your brain. Page 16 Amazing body-balancing herb. Works with your body to correct imbalances. Blood pressure too high? It brings it down. Too low? It brings it up! Page 16 Recharge your batteries. Simply get more of this critical nutrient that controls the power supply of every cell in your body.

Since there's no money to send, you've nothing to lose -- except your wrinkles and memory lapses. The Good News: The Medical Establishment Is Finally Catching On. The Bad News: You Could Die Waiting. Doctors are finding it harder and harder to ignore walking, talking, living, breathing evidence like you've been reading about. They're wondering why so many patients who try natural healing come back cured -- and looking better than ever. That's one reason the prestigious National Institutes of Health in Washington, D.C., is seriously looking into natural healing. Testing should take a few more years. Add a few more until doctors hear about the results and change their ways. That means that in five or 10 years, you could actually hear about some of these miraculous healing breakthroughs from your doctor. But why should you or a loved one suffer needlessly for so long? You can get powerful natural remedies for your health problems right now -- in your FREE 30-day preview copy of THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL HEALING.

These headaches often disappear when the three supplements on page 284 are taken daily. Flush away your gallstones -- without surgery. All it takes is some olive oil and the juices on page 274.

Includes a commonly used food additive that activates asthma in up to 100,000 Americans. Page 449 There is a cure for AIDS. A safe, nondrug therapy has actually changed patients from HIV-positive to negative. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in every case. And it works best early in the disease -- before it gets into the lymph system and bones. (Why isn't it more widely known? Could it be because the drug companies don't make a dime off it?) Page 38 Stop the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome. Simply press on the pressure point described on page 132. Stomach cure-all. Soothing plant extract heals even chronic cases of stomach trouble -- from indigestion to painful ulcerative colitis. Page 208 Echinacea times 10. Like its better-known cousin, this herb banishes your colds and flu by boosting your immune system. Yet it's so powerful, it's also used to fight cancer and heart disease.

Dear spenze,

Here is your Friday story,

The True Story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer


A guy named Bob May, depressed and brokenhearted, stared out his drafty apartment window into the chilling December night. His 4-year-old daughter, Barbara, sat on his lap quietly sobbing. Bobs wife, Evelyn, was dying of cancer. Little Barbara couldn't understand why her mommy could never come home. Barbara looked up into her dads eyes and asked, "Why isn't Mommy just like everybody else's Mommy?" Bob's jaw tightened and his eyes welled with tears. Her question brought waves of grief, but also of anger. It had been the story of Bob's life. Life always had to be different for Bob. Being small when he was a kid, Bob was often bullied by other boys. He was too little at the time to compete in sports. He was often called names he'd rather not remember.


From childhood, Bob was different and never seemed to fit in. Bob did complete college, married his loving wife and was grateful to get his job as a copywriter at Montgomery Ward during the Great Depression. Then he was blessed with his little girl. But it was all short-lived. Evelyn's bout with cancer stripped them of all their savings and now Bob and his daughter were forced to live in a two-room apartment in the Chicago slums. Evelyn died just days before Christmas in 1938. Bob struggled to give hope to his child, for whom he couldn't even afford to buy a Christmas gift. But if he couldn't buy a gift, he was determined a make one - a storybook!


Bob had created an animal character in his own mind and told the animal's story to little Barbara to give her comfort and hope. Again and again Bob told the story, embellishing it more with each telling. Who was the character? What was the story all about? The story Bob May created was his own autobiography in fable form. The character he created was a misfit outcast like he was. The name of the character? A little reindeer named Rudolph, with a big shiny nose.


Bob finished the book just in time to give it to his little girl on Christmas Day. But the story doesn't end there. The general manager of Montgomery Ward caught wind of the little storybook and offered Bob May a nominal fee to purchase the rights to print the book. Wards went on to print Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and distribute it to children visiting Santa Claus in their stores. By 1946 Wards had printed and distributed more than six million copies of Rudolph. That same year, a major publisher wanted to purchase the rights from Wards to print an updated version of the book. In an unprecedented gesture of kindness, the CEO of Wards returned all rights back to Bob May. The book became a best seller. Many toy and marketing deals followed and Bob May, now remarried with a growing family, became wealthy from the story he created to comfort his grieving daughter.


But the story doesn't end there either. Bob's brother-​in-​law,​ Johnny Marks, made a song adaptation to Rudolph. Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore, it was recorded by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was released in 1949 and became a phenomenal success, selling more records than any other Christmas song, with the exception of "White Christmas." The gift of love that Bob May created for his daughter so long ago kept on returning to bless him again and again. And Bob May learned the lesson, just like his dear friend Rudolph, that being different isn't so bad. In fact, being different can be a blessing!

Insight of the Day wishes you a wonderful Christmas.

If it's not yet obvious to you, the real reason for this, and all seasons, is you, Spenze. A more perfect child of the Universe has never lived. Until now, only celebrations cloaked in myth and mystery could hint at your divine heritage and sacred destiny. You are life's prayer of becoming and its answer. The first light at the dawn of eternity, drawn from the ether, so that I might know my own depth, discover new heights, and revel in seas of blessed emotion.
A pioneer into illusion, an adventurer into the unknown, and a lifter of veils. Courageous, heroic, and exalted by legions in the unseen.
To give beyond reason, to care beyond hope, to love without limit; to reach, stretch, and dream, in spite of your fears. These are the hallmarks of divinity - traits of the immortal - your badges of honor. May you wear them with a pride as great as the immeasurable pride we feel for you.
Your light has illuminated darkened paths, your gaze has lifted broken spirits, and already your life has changed the course of history.
This is the time of year we celebrate Spenze Higa.
Bowing before Greatness,
    The Universe

IN GOD WE TRUST!!    a repeat but good reminder to buy good made in the USA -  especially in these difficult economic times...........The first part is sort of new, the second part has been around.......both are interesting!!

We must work hard, everyone, to be sure we buy
goods made in "the USA".
This may be useful to know when grocery shopping, if it's a concern to you:

The whole world is afraid of China-made "black hearted goods".  Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ?  If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.
471 is Made in Taiwan.  This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves.
Nowadays,  Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products "MADE IN CHINA ", so they don't show from which country it is made.   However, you may now refer to the barcode, remember if the first 3 digits are:
690-692 … MADE IN CHINA 
00-09 … USA & CANADA
30-37 … FRANCE
40-44 … GERMANY
47 ... TAIWAN
49 … JAPAN
50 … UK

BUY 
USA by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.  We need every boost we can get!
Thomas L. Nate, CPCM 
Nate Consulting Group 
 (574) 876-9200
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else and perhaps even their job.
My grandson likes Hershey's candy.  It is marked made inMexico. I do not buy it any more. My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico now. I have switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything.
This past weekend I was at Kroger.  I needed 60W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off brand labeled, “Everyday Value.”  I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price.  The GE bulbs were  more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the 
USA in a company in Cleveland , Ohio.

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here in the 
USA.
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets....yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada.  The Everyday Value brand was less money and 
MADE IN THE USA!  I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half the price!
So my challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the 
USA – the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so  we can all start buying 
Americanone light bulb at a time! Stop buying from China...........
(We should have awakened to this a decade ago......)

Let's get with the program.... help our fellow 
Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the good ole USA  !!!

Happy Holidays HEAL Members!!

The Members of HEAL have been such a great support during the writing of my story and since its release.  Few of you have had the opportunity to attend my book signings or Author’s Reading.   So Today I invite you to sit back and enjoy a few of my favorite excerpts.

You can also check out the recent newspaper article that featured my book. I scanned a copy onto our website for you to view. http://www.healmarketplace...com/daradietz/WGMC-PC.html

In a recent Authors Reading and Book Signing I shared several passages from “Whatever Good May Come,” I’ve decided to compile them for you here.  Sit Back, Enjoy and Be Blessed—Dara Dietz

Excerpts from the Author's Reading of:

"Whatever Good May Come"

 

A good portion of my life has been spent in victim mode, accepting responsibility for the wrong choices of others, reacting instead of living.  Personal freedom has come as I have developed boundaries. I now understand where my responsibility ends.  I no longer allow the bad choices others make to oppress my life.  Taking on the emotional baggage someone else is choosing to carry is not an act of kindness for either of us.  I have learned to listen, offer my best advice, and then leave the emotional baggage behind. Personal freedom allows me to say, “This is not my problem.  I care about you, but I am not your personal dumping ground.” It is impossible to share our gifts with the world if we allow those we meet to dump their emotional junk all over us. 

Forgiveness must be a gift, freely given.  It cannot be earned and is seldom deserved.  It must come from a place of understanding and love. The one being forgiven need not ask for this gift.  Forgiveness is first and foremost a gift to myself.  In my life, I have needed to forgive myself the most. Holding onto old injuries hurts no one but me. I could not forgive myself until I began to understand and love myself.  True love is not based on what a person can or should be, but on who they are and what they have been. As I worked to understand myself, I gained the transformative power of knowledge and the liberty of truth.

Know thyself. Exploring the depths of our inner world is the most important journey we can take. The study of myself has been the most important I have ever pursued. I have gotten to know myself as I have processed through the early experiences in my life, reconciling the emotional fallout. An understanding of the damage done to the child I was has allowed me to let go of some long held misunderstandings about my responsibility for the abuse I endured.  The contempt and shame I held toward myself has been replaced with knowledge and forgiveness.   Throughout the years, as my teachers have passed through my life, they have each endeavored to lift me above my shame.  Each was holding a piece of my personal puzzle and answers to questions I had not even known to ask. 

Now, as I leaf through the pages of my past, I have discovered I am holding the combined wisdom of all my teachers.  They freely gave their gifts to me, and now it is my privilege to pass them on.  They had eyes to see what was real in me, ears to hear what I was really saying, and hearts to truly love the confused soul standing before them.  They were not supermen or angels, just people with understanding hearts.  This is each of us; we all have gifts to give, things we know that someone else is just now ready to hear.  We hold the missing pieces for each other.  -- Taken From Chapter 11; Entitled: "Forgiveness"

I have always felt that when God puts you in a seat of authority over other people, you have a responsibility to do right by them.  I believe God will hold accountable anyone in a position of authority who is derelict in their duty or willfully harms or causes pain to those over whom they have authority. 

I noticed some caseworkers degraded their clients.  When I considered the sad cases that passed through our office, I often thought, “but for the grace of God there go I.”  In our lives, most of us will have our circumstances turned around many times.  The downturns may be beyond our control and independent of our personal actions.  Life’s lessons must be learned.  If we fail to learn them during the good times, the Father will take us over the same track again and again, until we learn what He is trying to teach us. 

The first time He tries to press a lesson home to our hearts, it can be in the quiet of our room as we meditate.  A thought is pressed on our minds that we may dismiss as inconsequential, something we don’t wish to deal with at that moment, if ever.  Time goes along, and soon you’ll hear that very thought spoken aloud by a trusted friend or authority figure. God is raising His voice in your life, trying to get your attention and tell you that now is the time to deal with this issue.  But your pride is hurt and you decide to blow off the opinion of this person.  What do they know anyway? It’s your life and it’s been going along just fine. 

Nope, wrong answer.  This issue is not going to go away.  Jesus, the Father, God, Providence, the Powers That Be, whatever you wish to call it, has decided that this is the time, right here and right now, for you to deal with yourself.  The next time, and there will be a next time, it will surface as a full blown, most likely, public trial guaranteed to get your attention.  The Father will take us round and round an issue until we surrender the idol He is asking for, along with our pride. Those who refuse to be taught by any means will eventually make a shipwreck of their lives, with the loss of all they hold dear. 

Working on ourselves can be the toughest job of all, so be kind to those who are going down the hard roads.  Learn from the example of others. Pray that when the Lord deals with you, that you will listen quickly, and if you fail to notice His quiet calls to reform your life, that as you travel down the hard road, you will be rewarded for the kindnesses you have shown. --Read from Chapter Six, Entitled: "Mrs. Michael Dietz"

Once, during a weekend intensive on personal empowerment, I participated in a guided meditation on my past experiences. During the meditation, I watch myself walk up a grassy knoll toward a castle.  Approaching the strong stonewalls, I see a massive door standing ajar.  The bright morning sun lights my way as I pass through the vestibule and into a large dimly lit room.  As my eyes adjust to the changing light, I began to make my way toward what appears to be piles of discarded stuff.

Approaching the first pile, I see a bunch of mismatched shoes and socks lying among little coats and sweaters.  I’m about to pass on when I recognize a favorite sweater I once owned.  How strange to find it here, I think to myself.  My attention is drawn to another pile of small boxes a few steps away.  I pick up a small, pink box from the top of the pile and slowly open the lid.  Softly, music begins to play as the ballerina with the broken arm twirls round and round.  I pull open the little drawer the way I had a thousand times before.  How did my old broken music box end up here?   Putting it back down, I quickly pass on, determined to explore the rest of the piles.  On the top of each I discover a single article from my past.  I explore the memory each item revives as the early morning sun descends into late afternoon shadows.  Time to go; I will leave my memories here, safely stored in my castle on the hill.  Its stone walls are strong and sure.  Here it had been safe to touch and feel, safe to remember.

As I turn to leave, the fading light beams down on one last pile lying just inside the archway.  I lean over, wondering what memory it will hold for me.  My heart leaps within me as my arms instinctively reach out for the small discarded bundle.  There, lying motionless and silent is a baby girl.  She had been tossed aside, discarded.  I knew this child instinctively.  I had seen those eyes before, wide open and full of fear.  My heart had heard her silent cries for help–cries long ignored by those entrusted to listen.  As I gather her safely into my arms, we melt into one.  I feel her snuggle in beside my heart as I step through the open archway.     

During another guided meditation that same weekend, the baby girl appeared again, but this time she was about seven years old.  She sat outside the house of the old man who raped us.  This was not the first time she visited me in my dreams.  In the past, I felt such contempt toward this little girl.  I had not cared for her, and she had not trusted me.  Something was different this time.  As I saw her sitting there all alone with no one to share her horrible secret with, my heart filled with compassion for her.  I finally understood why she had gone back to the old man’s house–she craved love and attention.  She was just a little girl; it was not her fault.   As I looked into those empty eyes, my heart finally heard her soft cry.  She needed my love and protection.  I reached out for her hand as I had many times before, and for the first time, she took my hand and walked away with me.  

These images represent the child in me. The baby and the young girl still live inside me, despite all.  The girl-child now lives in safety–sheltered, protected, understood, and cherished. I am perfectly capable now of being a good mother to her. We have a lot of catching up to do. We can begin to explore what being a child is really all about. Now, it is safe to play. -- -- Taken From Chapter 11; Entitled: "Forgiveness"

Aloha Myspace Gang,

i'm hardly blogging my own thoughts anymore.
i'ts usually a cut/paste sharing of a newsletter or a tidbit coming from a health source or some forwarded email message.

i'm also falling for the facebook community although not yet conformed to that style of communication.  i need space to write more than a half-sentence thought. i need at least a paragraph to clarify and communicate.

yet, i have not blogged here either.  where am i led?  where should i settle and concentrate?  well, i have another confession.  ever since last year and more so since april of 2009, i've been on a passionate health regimen that incorporates a healthy eating lifestyle and an exercise regimen.

the eating goal is to eat more raw, living foods like salads and all things green and fruits and veggies that are uncooked.  i'm not 100% raw foodist.  just trying to put more % of healthy foods into my body.
yes i still eat meat and cooked foods and fried foods and sweets and salty stuff too.
just not as much as i use to before.

the exercise goal has been challenging but since 10/08, i found an exercise gadget that is still with me and i'm USING it!!!  in fact, i just got a second one....a different model.
they are called 'three point carving vehicles'....or TRIKKES!

yes, you've seen the late night infomerical, and now they are showing these infomercials during prime time and directing the interest at the kids.
the trikke models are for kids and grown ups.
the details are here...........www.trikke.com

plus there are many dealerships in many states.  the neat thing is that although i'm in Hawaii, i've gotten to know an entire group of passionate trikkers and trikke dealers on the mainland.  i got my first trikke, a T8 Air, that i've named 'WaveRider', at a trikke shop in Salt Lake City, Utah.  they are known as the Trikke Bros.....
if you're in their area or nearby, go check out their website and tell em spenze sent ya!

they also have a video forum called

This is an initiative we started in August of 2007 in an effort to better-explain through video different riding and maintenance tips & tricks, as well as announce any upcoming events or product releases. Recently Trikke Tech has started printing and including an insert with every new Trikke manufactured informing them about the show!


and they have a trikke forum:

Started originally by Devan Thorne and Adam Hunt (aka Streetviper and Adam Bomb) in Started originally by Devan Thorne and Adam Hunt (aka Streetviper and Adam Bomb) in 2004 as a place to find local Trikkers and post photos of rides and events, TrikkeTalk quickly became the world's largest Trikke website and community web forum, now bringing in over a million page views per month from new and returning users!

the trikke forum is where i spend a good deal of time and energy sharing and learning about all things TRIKKE.  so i've posted blogs and started a running diary on the forum.

i recently acquired a 2nd trikke model....T78cs which i named Ms.Tita Gurl.
she's not motorized like WaveRider and i use her for short distance exercises at the state capitol grounds or wherever i can find a nice smooth sidewalk.

on the east coast side, i've gotten familiar with Trikke Tampa and even become an affiliate for their store.....if by chance, you go online and do business with Andy and Jana,
please provide them with my affiliate #1010...........here's their website:

i believe florida has one of the largest contigent of trikke groups.
in fact, they've been holding an annual trikke ride event that i hope to make one year.
the trikke bros. hold an annual skii event too.
oh, i forgot that TRIKKE also makes a ski version of their trikke!!!
easier to learn to ski on a trikke ski.....i might try to make to one of those events too!!!

as you can see, i've immersed myself in the world of TRIKKING!!!
and it all began when i was searching for the perfect exercise tool.
something i wouldn't buy then give up on.
something that wouldn't end up in storage.
something that wouldn't be sold at a bargain swap meet or garage sale.
something that actually has now turned into a commute vehicle,
so much so that we got rid of one of our cars to save on gas/insurance etc.

so, eating healthier, doing consistent exercise with an amazing gadget,
and lastly, i made a change in the kind of doctor i have as my primary care physician.
you know our reason for starting this myspace page.
the theme was and still is......
Healthy Wealthy & Spirit Wise!!!

and you know that for health, i lean toward the old traditions, folklore medicine,
natural medicine, holistic medicine, and all things herbs and natural substances
and good eating.
so i searched (with the help of a nurse who told me about this kind of doctor),
that is a true doctor of medicine, who can prescribe drugs like any doctor,
but is also on the side of natural, holistic medicine......
go google......Doctor of Osteopathy or D.O. 

that's it for now guyz,
i'm so stoked that i was able to change out rear poly wheels for air tires on one trikke,
then replace brake levers, scrub brake pads and brake cables on WaveRider.
i was ready to give up when i came to an obstacle and almost took it to a bike shop.
with the help of the trikketalk community, i got some helpful insights and instructions,
and i got the job done!!! Woooo Hooooo!
so i'm ready to ride tomorrow and ever after!
LivLuvLaf,

Dear spenze,

The following story is a tradition with Insight of the Day just before Christmas. If you have not seen it before it is well worth the read. If you have, it is worth the reminder.
White Envelopes
It's just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree. No name, no identification, no inscription. It has peeked through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so.
It all began because my husband Mike hated Christmas. Oh, not the true meaning of Christmas, but the commercial aspects of it, overspending, the frantic running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and the dusting powder for Grandma, the gifts given in desperation because you couldn't think of anything else.
Knowing he felt this way, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so forth. I reached for something special just for Mike. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son, Kevin, who was 12 that year was wrestling at the junior level at the school he attended, and shortly before Christmas, there was a non-league match against a team sponsored by an inner-city church.
These youngsters, dressed in sneakers so ragged that shoestrings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, presented a sharp contrast to our boys in the spiffy blue and gold uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without headgear, a kind of light helmet designed to protect a wrestler's ears. It was a luxury the ragtag team obviously could not afford. Well, we ended up walloping them. We took every weight class. And as each of their boys got up from the mat, he swaggered around in his tatters with false bravado, a kind of street pride that couldn't acknowledge defeat. Mike, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them." Mike loved kids, all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football, baseball and lacrosse.
That's when the idea of his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought an assortment of wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously to the inner-city church. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in succeeding years. For each Christmas, I followed the tradition, one year sending a group of mentally handicapped youngsters to a hockey game, another year a check to a pair of elderly brothers whose home had burned to the ground the week before Christmas, and on and on. The envelope became the highlight of our Christmas. It was always the last thing opened on Christmas morning and our children, ignoring their new toys, would stand with wide-eyed anticipation as their dad lifted the envelope from the tree to reveal its contents. As the children grew, the toys ga ve way to more practical presents, but the envelope never lost its allure. The story doesn't end there.
You see we lost Mike last year due to dreaded cancer. When Christmas rolled around, I was still so wrapped in grief that I barely got the tree up. But Christmas Eve found me placing an envelope on the tree, and in the morning, it was joined by three more.
Each of our children, unbeknownst to the others, had placed an envelope on the tree for their dad. The tradition has grown and someday will expand even further with our grandchildren standing around the tree with wide-eyed anticipation watching as their fathers take down the envelope. Mike's spirit, like the Christmas spirit, will always be with us.
Nancy W. Gavin
This story is a true story and inspired four siblings from Atlanta, GA to start The White Envelope Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting this tradition and charitable giving. The White Envelope Project founders are regularly in touch with the family in the article and are thrilled to have their support. The Gavin family and now thousands of others continue to celebrate the "white envelope" tradition each year.
