I haven't blogged in over a year. I'm blogging today to share some very important, yet private, information. As many of you may know, my Dad has stage IV renal cell carcinoma aka Kidney cancer. After going on a vegan diet, doing colonics once a week, and seeing a holistic doctor, (instead of doing trial studies because chemo isn't an option at this stage)he is now cancer free in his lungs.

Well hello!I haven't blogged in over a year. I took time away from my routine to reflect upon life and create something new and different for myself without sharing it over the internet.Numerous things have changed, and changed, and changed, since I last blogged.Writing has always been a therapeutic outlet for myself but like clockwork I grew bored with it. I always start something and never

My dad has been diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma. RCC translates to kidney cancer. After extensive research on his cancer, I wanted to explain to everyone the basics of cancer, and how one's diet can affect their body.Every adult has some cancer cells in their body and they CAN develop new cancer cells. This is usually no big deal because the immune system is usually capable of dealing with a

I went to Tampa for the weekend with a few of my friends. It was the best time I've had in a long time. The scenery is beautiful, the people are happy, and the water is relaxing. It was a totally 80's weekend, so they played old school rap all weekend long. It made me feel like a kid again. Happy Folks in the picture above:-)Anyways, I get home to get back to my normal daily grind; I've opted to

Today is the last day of my 30-Day Vegetarian Challenge. I have the option to eat whatever I choose, but I'm choosing to stick with the Vegetarian life-style. I will be adding fish back into my diet, but I'm debating on eliminating dairy products. We'll see how it goes. For now, I feel like a WINNER! YAY! I made it! It feels great to achieve a goal. I had my first little league soccer practice

Since I've been on my vegetarian diet, my mental clarity has escalated. During this process, I've realized we ARE very similar to the events in the movie "The Matrix".What we eat is merely a luxury. We don't actually need the food. We need the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for our body to function properly. The less waste (after the nutrients have been extracted) our body has to digest,

By the third day, I started feeling withdrawal symptoms which is known as a detoxification period.I've experienced stomach pains, light-headed moments, weakness, and fatigue.

Sometimes someone else's extention of trust can make all the difference in the world.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." ~ Matthew 7:13The hardest part of sustaining a path of eternal life and everlasting peace, is being alone. Your friends are no longer your friends, because your priorites have shifted. The temptation to fall into your "old ways" starts to creep back into your life.

Everything we do has a motive behind it. People who demonstrate a genuine caring nature inspire the most trust. You're not going to trust someone who could care less about you, are you?

In order to build trust with others, we must first start with ourselves.Ask yourself: 1. Am I Credible?2. Am I someone people (including myself) can trust?3. Do people believe me?I've learned the hard way that trust is based upon 2 things: Character and Competence.It takes time to build your character, credibility, and competence after it's lost. I firmly believe it can be rebuilt, if the person

Today I want to talk about Forgiveness. Recently, I've had a change of heart. I'm not one to hold grudges, but I've grown tired of being repeatedly deceived. I eliminated quite a few people from my life, which I felt weren't beneficial. I felt drained in all areas and decided to "clean house". As I'm in the process, I encountered someone you can call an "enemy", and actually took the time to

In the past few months, I've evaluated my life, my priorities, and everything in between.I've come to realize how important my family truly means to me. Whether you get along or not, you'll never get another MOM or DAD, you'll never get the same CHILD, and you can't take back your mistakes. Although I'm still learning as I go, the mistakes I make, my son and my family suffer the reprecussions

People are often judged by appearances, and by hearsay. Most of the world is judged on the way they conduct themselves. The way people choose to act towards one another - whether in wars, fights with family members or loved ones, co-workers - can make you look bad. It leaves an impression upon people, who then spread more hearsay without knowing the situation but observing your actions.I

If somebody in your life isn't treating you right, don't make the mistake of sinking down to their level by getting into an argument or fighting. You might want to set the record straight because they're spreading lies about you, or trying to ruin your reputation, but take the high road, respond with love, and let God do the rest.I'm guilty of taking matters into my own hands, at moments,

"I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love."~Mother TeresaThe most enthralling love is the passionate love you experience with your mate. Nothing else in the world matters to you while in their presence. All your problems fade away and no one can take their place. You can't substitute real love.You can choose to close your eyes or turn a

“On days when warmth is the most important need of the human heart, the kitchen is the place you can find it...”E.B.White I enjoyed a nice dinner, yesterday. I cooked. Everyone sat at the kitchen table, with no outside distractions, engaged in conversation while eating their food. My family used to go to my Granmother's house every Sunday for dinner, when I was younger, and I look back now,

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (Corinthians 13:4-6)This is one of my favorite Bible verses.I've never been the lovey dovey

Pain is the price we pay for being alive. ~ Harold KushnerTwo stories have showed up in my life twice today. I'm familiar with both of these stories but it's odd how they both showed up today and twice.This morning as I was leaving for work, I noticed my mother reading a book and I asked her what she was reading.

For those of you who aren't familiar with acupuncture, it's the technique of inserting needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture points are situated on meridians along which qi (chi is how you pronounce it), the vital energy, flows.I had my first experience with acupuncture, Saturday. It was weird, but I recommend it to everyone. Since

To a certain degree, you're obliged to act in alignment with truth and faith.The past few weeks, I've looked at myself and wondered "what kind of example am I to others?" I believe I'm a genuine

Having had someone close to my family die, has been a difficult adjustment for many of us, especially my brother's fiance Melissa.There have been several unexplained encounters to happen around the house my brother shares with Melissa. i.e. Toys turning themselves on and off, doors shutting by themselves, the dryer coming on by itself, lights flickering off and on, just quite a few weird things..

Everyone wants a companion in life. Everyone is searching for the right person, even people who are considered "loners".I've come to realize we search for our "other half", not realizing that we, ourselves, must be whole, rather than waiting around for someone to complete us.

As I was driving into work this morning, I was listening to B-Money, New York, and Buck Wilde on 95.7 Jams. They were discussing a topic involving how to remove people from your life who provide nothing but negative energy. Sure, you may like the person, but their presence in your life creates problems for you. Then again, they might be a constant thorn in your side, and you can't escape them...

I read a wise story in Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. I found the story appropriate to share with everyone today.Zen master Hakuin lived in a small town in Japan. He was held in high regard and many people came to him for spiritual teching. Then it happened that the teenage daughter of his next-door neighbor became pregnant. When being questioned by her angry

You might not agree this is the experience you need but this is the experience you are having at this moment whether you like it or not. Therefore, life has determined it's what you need.

Your EGO takes everything personally. Your emotions become involved and most people become defensive and sometimes aggressive.

Happiness is created by personal effort. You strive for it, and insist upon it. Once you'veachieved a state of happiness you must never become lazy about maintaining it.Right now, I'm the happiest I've been in a very long time.I solely concentrate on myself and my own happiness. I'm no longer worried about striving to make other people happy. If someone isn't happy with the person I am, it's

If you send subliminal messages to people, you're trying to persuade them to do something they wouldn't normally do.Using these skills to attract certain people or situations into your life, isn't honest.

Wanting what you can't have, and not appreciating what you do have in life.I don't feel that way as much as I used to, for me, the feeling came from trying to fill up the restlessness in my heart.
