In Gratitude - Say Love
So many thoughts
puncture our world!
Everyone: start focusing once a day on really saying the word love in everything you do and think positive and healing thoughts for everyone in this world.
If you stop those destructive thoughts and replace it with the word love, you might find yourself smiling a bit more.
The power of the mind is more than we know so sometimes you have to have faith.
Did you know, you are praising the Source?
We are all the Source.
We are all one.
We are a collective.
So enjoy the ride you got … you might get to go on different ride again … but just as Santa knows if you’ve been good or bad … so does the Source. Every bad thing you do counts against you … karma’s a bitch they say. But you can reverse the bad by doing good and acting good and forgiving yourself and others, bringing love back into our families and communities and thus for our world and everything that exists....
It’s easy as 123.
That’s what I see.
I love you.

Body Art .... The Revolution ...
Taken from CNN .. funny how normal body art has become. I liked this part of the article because it really does describe the transformation you go through when you have this experience. Sometimes I wish I could be covered in body art all the time .. well only Justin Drew body art ... the rest I find a bit cheezy and not as classy but that's just my opinion. I think it's great though to help people get out of their shell.
"Hernandez's favorite part of her art is sharing it with the crowd. Her models walk through the audience after a show, getting a ton of compliments. Sometimes, she uses hesitant friends as models. Afterward, they're almost never shy. "It's like they feel so protected by that little layer of art. It's magical."
Greco has seen the same phenomenon and credits the art form with breaking down many self-confidence barriers. One woman she painted had a scar on her stomach that she hated for years. After showing off her nearly naked body to a festival full of people, she came back to Greco's booth weeping.
"She felt like she could finally embrace her body," Greco said. "It's transformative in ways that we don't always understand for the person being painted. You execute it, and off goes your art -- it walks away to have a whole new life without you. Hearing the stories can be the most rewarding part of all."
"If you have one person tell you, 'Wow, you're beautiful,' that's a big day for you," Fray added. "But to have thousands of people gushing all over you, that can really change someone's life."
HERE's a Taste Of Justin Drew all over the country, on stages, on the street, at clubs, promotions,
you name it ....we've done it....

In Gratitude ~ Vegetables don't lie ...
Vegetables don't lie ...
I am so grateful for real vegetables. I’ve been eating 21 layer salads. It kicks my ass but I love it. I could eat that salad forever … I’d know that I was least getting full doses of real food. It feels so good to eat even though it can also tear you apart inside with its potency. It’s good to mix it with something … like a tortilla. It’s good in everything.
Now I go to the grocery store and everything I see is just inedible. I can’t think about poisoning my body any more… I felt bad for my body so I decided to steer my diet towards cleaner living and now I feel great and radiant. Salad makes you GLOW.

In Gratitude ~ Sore. But feeling excellent.
Sore. But feeling excellent.
I went to 24 Hour Fitness for my 8:00 am date with HFG (Handsome Fitness Guy), my first session with a personal trainer ever.
I wore black booty shorts and a black tank … my usual workout gear … he even asked me why I was dressed all in black … Am I hiding something? He asked joking. Uh no I replied ... these are the only workout clothes I have…
And then he thanked me for being honest …
I kept my smile big the whole time. After all, I am very grateful for the personal session and he is such a nice person, so encouraging and patient. It was nice to work with someone that had some knowledge about how to get my body the way I want it.
We talked about diet – Or Lifet – as I call it. It's your life diet ... for all you dieters ... change the word ... it makes a difference because the word "diet" feels restricting ... A Lifet is a life long conscious choice towards health and healthy living. I know that I’ve been obsessed lately with what I put in my body. But the choice is paying off because lately it’s showing on the outside of my body which has been glowing and I feel cleaner and radiant inside.
He asked me what my goals are … I told him I wanted a six pack at least once in my life, I wanted long and lean tone body, and I wanted a killer butt… He told me I wasn’t so far from my goal.
We started on the elliptical machine and did 5 minutes warm up… then hit the mat and did a bunch of different crunches. I love this type of exercise… So I was going for it hard… it hurt at times but I appreciated his attention to detail, though I’m sure I gave him a show … I never wiped the smile off my face, even as I turned beet red, sweating profusely, and forgetting to breathe.
Well, after an hour of body torture…I must admit I feel great. So if you are out there and want to get into shape, get a personal trainer to learn some great exercises that you can take with you in the future.
Or I can also teach you my SUPER AWESOME workout that takes 20 minutes and pretty much helps tone you fast using Pilates moves … today I learned some more moves that I am going to add to my own routine.
Well, back to the Justin Drew grind Lovers….I’ll update later!

remember you can't please everyone and you don't always have to be right
Before you pick "sides," fly the coop, or let a third presence such as guilt, shame, or outside influences keep you from making a connection, remember you can't please everyone and you don't always have to be right.

In Gratitude - It’s the First, A Tuesday.
It’s the First, A Tuesday. No wait, it’s the 31st because August has 31 days … ever wonder how they figured out the calendar or time? Adding days here and there … what is time? … 24 hours in a day? … they say … how did they come up with that ?
If we had no clocks how would we know what time it was?
Would we live in the flow of natural time?
I do my very best to live time in the present … the future is what I make of it.
I don’t know what to tomorrow will bring. I could strike it lucky! Wait … I am lucky just being in great health, happy, and living with open arms, eating So healthy, going with the flow of abundance … I am abundant, I create. Every Single Day.
I think about How lucky we really are …
How much time have we spent appreciating?
How much time have we spent forgiving?
How much time have we spent giving?
How much time have we spent receiving?
How much time have we spent receiving?
Take a moment…
Close your eyes,
breathe deep,
and SMILE.
How does that feel?
breathe deep,
and SMILE.
How does that feel?
The sensation of a smile … it’s not a matter of how long it takes to make you feel better, it just does.
The Smile Challenge … I urge you to take it….
The More you Smile at People;
The Friendlier your Day is, Guaranteed.
The Friendlier your Day is, Guaranteed.
Walk down the street saying Love with every step (either mouth it out loud if no one is around, or quiet in your head if there is). Be mindful of how your body moves. It’s a miracle, if you pay attention.
This is one example of an affirmation I say, but you can say anything as long as it’s positive…
Read the article I posted about how water absorbs the energy and thoughts of you and those around you … You are made of water. So what I say is “Please heal my body, I love my body, please heal my body, I love my body”. I know that it may sound silly but if you realize that you are healing your body through your positive thought and focus on loving yourself. Take the time to always improve, work hard on expanding your mind.

In Gratitude - The Elana Dress Day
Well, it’s another day on this planet;
Planet Earth, that is.
Planet Earth, that is.
I woke up this morning, heavy. I did not feel like getting out of bed so I slept just a bit longer. I looked at my Iphone….11:11 am.
Time to get up! The day is a-wasting.
 |
| The Elana Dress |
I jumped out of bed threw on my brand new Juli and Fred “Elana” Dress (Thanks Juilana!) The fabric felt great to wear and it swirled and flowed over my skin like velvet. The cut was fun and flirty but sophisticated ... like me.
I packed my folded-still-slightly-damp towel into my backpack, slipped on my flip flops, Ray Bans, and ran down the stairs, out the door, and down the beautiful streets of Santa Barbara. Every Step I was Present and Sent Love and Healing thoughts to my Body as a walking prayer to 24 Hour Fitness.
Let me tell you about this place …
If I had microscope eyes, I would be terrified. Thank God I don’t.
The hot tub, I don’t dare go in … the hot tub looks like a brown bubble bath…. The steam room I swear is crawling with bacteria ready to eat your skin while you breathe in others “waste”….But then I jump in the extra chlorinated pool and feel all the bacteria die, and my skin call out for moisture…in water.
I’m not sure how often they clean 24 hour fitness? But I feel icky every time I go there, and I’m sure glad to take a shower after that experience, but alas, it’s in a filthy shower. The sign says they clean it once a week at 2 PM on Friday. One week of thousands of body’s in and out and all over that place.
I’m showering in shoes… I’d wear shoes 24/7 at that place. Well...
I’d probably wear shoes at every fitness club.
I’d probably wear shoes at every fitness club.
Despite the horrid cleanliness of the facility, every employed person there is nice and delightful. They say hello, have a good workout, and goodbye every time I’m there … I joined 2 weeks ago, and have gone everyday. Let me just say that they are on it in the customer service department. I’ve yet to be disappointed. So thanks for being on that, guys!
Today though I had an extra special compliment leaving 24 hour fitness.....it went like this …
Me walking out the door, Smile on my face.
Handsome Fitness Guy walking towards me into gym.
HFG – You’re really beautiful. You have a beautiful smile.
Me: Thank you. I love to smile.
HFG - Why don’t you take a personal fitness lesson with me?
(LOL typical question at a fitness gym from a guy, right? But he seemed nice and he was genuine so I thought about it for a minute and replied –
(LOL typical question at a fitness gym from a guy, right? But he seemed nice and he was genuine so I thought about it for a minute and replied –
Me: I can’t afford it right now.
HFG – Well, I’d give it to you at no cost.
(There’s always a cost, hun)
Me: Well, ok. Thank you I appreciate it.
HFG – What’s your number, I’ll confirm tomorrow what time.
Me – Cool thanks… It was nice to meet you.
HFG – Yes, I’ve seen you around here and I’ve just thought you were so beautiful.
So I get my first real Training sesh in tomorrow with a fitness trainer. It should be interesting.
I’ll let you know how that goes …

Remember, there is a process.
When we are ready to shed our darker desires, our depression, our limited thinking, we will shed it.
But it won’t happen with the snap of our fingers. There is a process.
Be patient with yourself if you are not where you want to be. Remember, there is a process.

Take a chance. This life goes by too fast.
Lost time doesn’t return. What we fail to do today is lost forever.
This can be a great motivator because it gets us to act.
Today, make a decision. Jump into something unknown. Take a chance. This life goes by too fast.

"Water is a mirror of the heart."
"The most spectacular part is that a water crystal can reflect "thought" with its formation. That is, a phrase, an image, or a piece of music can lead to particular shapes of water crystal. In other words, water responds to words, images, and sound with different formations of water crystal. From the photographs of different formations of water crystal we can easily see that mind and matter are one thing. It appears that there is a mind inside a matter. For example, a word carries a thought, which manifest itself in the formation of water crystal in the water crystal experiments. This proves that a matter has life and thought of its own, and that a thought has its tangible representation. Matter and mind are one body with two kinds of manifestations of the same substance."

That a water crystal simulates the shape of a message it is exposed to is solid proof that every particle carries the whole image of a matter.
This hologram vision is visible only at a micro-level. We cannot see the "thought" with our flesh eyes because "thought" exists at a micro-level and our eyes do not. If we can find a way to see things at a micro-level, we will be able to see "thought."
We can see clearly from the experiment on water crystals that a kind thought makes things beautiful while an evil thought mutilates things. The greatest part of a human body and everything else in the world is made of water. It follows that our kind thoughts will improve the external environment, as well as ourselves. If we always keep kind thoughts, we will purify our own body, and thus become beautiful and healthy. If we always keep kind thoughts, we will also purify the environment and people around us. Our kind thoughts can improve everything in this world. It is mind-blowing to see this philosophy clearly in the water crystal experiments. The most direct way to purify the world is to keep kind thoughts. It would have a tremendous impact on the world if the public could see that point.
Left: Tap Water from Tokyo
Right: Tap Water from Tokyo after a Group of People Sent Kind Thoughts to It
"At 2 o'clock of February 2, 1997, 500 people from all over Japan, upon the invitation of Dr. Emoto, sent kind thoughts toward a bottle of tap water in Tokyo on Dr. Emoto's office desk. Everyone was asked to think the same thought, "The water is now purified. Thank you." This affectionate message was sent at the same time from 500 people all over Japan. The photo on the right was taken right afterwards. No man-made processing was done to this photograph at all. Even though the research team had expected this result, all the members of the team were moved to tears when they saw the photograph."
Left: Water from Kobe, Japan after the Earthquake
Right: Water after Exposed to Kind Thoughts
The photograph on the left was taken three days after an earthquake occurred in Kobe, Japan. It was a deformed water crystal from tap water in Kobe. The water seems to express in mutilation the feelings of panic, grief and terror that the local people experienced during the earthquake. Everyone who has seen the photograph was shocked to see the feelings expressed by water. Yet people in Kobe received a wealth of concern and help from their fellow citizens on Earth afterwards. Three months after the earthquake, the research team took another photograph of the same bottle of water (shown on the right), which then expressed the same beauty as that in the blessings and concern toward people in Kobe, Japan.

I want to inspire America to take a new path, a different direction.
"I want to inspire America to take a new path, a different direction. I envision an America which has the capacity to reconnect with the heart of the world; an America which proceeds in the world optimistically and courageously. An America which understands that the world is interdependent, that it is inter-connected, and that what we do today impacts future generations.
I want to break the shackles of fear which have deprived our citizens of rights. We need to change the way this country values humanity, so that instead of fear and lies, we can live our lives based on principles of peace and hope. We need to regain the trust of the American people and we need to have a government which trusts the American people.
It's time for America to resume its glorious journey; time to reject shrinking jobs and wages, disappearing savings and rights; time to reject the detour towards fear and greed. It's time to look out upon the world for friends, not enemies; time to counter the control of corporations over our politics, our economy, our resources, and mass media. It's time for those who have much to help those who have little, by maintaining a progressive tax structure. It's time to tell the world that we wish to be their partner in peace, not their leader in war. Most of all, it is time for America to again be the land where dreams come true, because the government is on the side of its people."

Mr. Gates ....
(NaturalNews) The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation continues to throw its support behind risky genetically modified (GM) seeds as a means for feeding hungry Africans, ignoring safer and more reliable technologies that already exist.
Not long after publicly blaming GM critics for prolonging hunger in Africa, Gates announced that his foundation is partnering with DuPont subsidiary Pioneer Hi-Bred to develop higher yield GM strains of corn. Two years ago, the Gates Foundation also partnered with Monsanto to develop drought-tolerant GM corn.
The companies claim that these GM seeds will be delivered to small farmers free of charge. Yet Monsanto says its drought-tolerant corn will not be ready until 2012, at which point it will be introduced into the commercial market. It will not be made available to poor African farmers until 2016.
As Laskawy notes, the Nigeria National Variety Release Committee has already developed -- without the use of biotechnology -- various new corn strains that are resistant to drought, pests, disease, and poor soil fertility. These conventionally bred seeds do not pose any of the well-documented risks of GM crops, such as toxic health and environmental effects; the production of "super-weeds" and contamination of organic crops through cross-pollination; increased pesticide use; or encouraging monocultures and a loss of seed diversity.
"If only Bill Gates, not to mention USDA Chief Tom Vilsack or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, would spend some of their money getting those Nigerian seeds into farmers' hands today," Laskawy writes. "Instead, they'd prefer to funnel billions of dollars to biotech giants because, well, 2016 isn't really so long to wait."

HMMM..... IF only they put their money into something GOOD that actually helped the world ... instead of continually investing their billions of dollars in EVIL CORP giants ... what happened to morality and integrity Bill Gates? If you want to do something good ... put it back into grassroots ...
Back Into the People ... many who spent their money buying your products....
SCAMMERS ... SCUM of the earth. When will you learn?Back Into the People ... many who spent their money buying your products....
