HAVE YOU STOPPED DREAMING? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORLDS - DAY 110

A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep................... or so the lyrics from a song in Walt Disney's Cinderella told us.  What about the dreams we have when we are awake?  The dreams of going to college, of becoming a doctor, of becoming a professional athlete, of having a family, of escaping poverty, of saving the world or at least a part of it, or of owning your own business are just some of the dreams people have when they are awake.  Then as life and reality happen some people give up on their dreams, but it is so important to remember that it is never too late to dream or to pursue a dream.  Why did you stop dreaming?

Today's message is:


DREAM ON!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS NECESSARY VERSUS WHAT IS DESIRABLE? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 68

The basics all humans need are food, water,shelter, and clothing  All else are things we want, and over time we have become a society of consumers.  Somehow we allow our wants to become needs.  We no longer base our spending decisions on what is necessary versus what is desirable, and this change has led thousands of people into major credit card debt.  If you are one of those people, then perhaps it is time for you to take a step back, survey all that you have, question all that you feel you are "missing", and determine if those things are truly essential or just things it might be nice to have.

While there are millions of people suffering from horrific poverty, lack of clean water, and insufficient nutrition there are millions of us who are much more fortunate.  Rarely do we have everything we want, but usually we have everything we need.

I HAVE WHAT I NEED!

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR CURIOSITY? CHANGING YOUR LIFE WITH WORDS - DAY 56

There are so many wonderful things about children whether they are babies, toddlers, or school-age.  One of the best things about them is their curiosity.  They cannot resist exploring, reaching, touching, or questioning any new thing that comes into their line of sight.  Think of how much children learn in the first three years of their lives.  If they went on to continue to learn as much in each future three-year segment they would all be absolutely amazing.

Unfortunately, some children and many adults lose their curiosity and their quest for knowledge.  Whether it is bad schools, bad parenting, poverty of resources, poor self-esteem, lack of support systems, or some verbal wound inflicted by a parent, sibling or teacher something definitely turns them off of learning.  If that has happened to you, it is not too late to change.   For children either Public Libraries, the Internet, Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Churches, or grandparents there are ways to re-stimulate your curiosity about anything that might interest you OR to find out what does interest you.  If you are an adult you have even more access to information through libraries, the Internet, community colleges, vocational education, informational interviews, community groups, churches, and various non-profit groups.  It is up to you to ask questions, get answers, and keep on learning your entire life.

BE INQUISITIVE!

When Do We The People Get To Give A Vote Of "No Confidence" In Our Leaders?

My on-line business is a shop selling handmade clothing and accessories for babies and toddlers.  My blog
originally began as a place where I intended to write about topics pertaining to children and parenting.
Although I still plan on writing those types of posts, today I am overwhelmed with feelings of anger, anxiety, and sorrow at the things that are happening in our country and our world.  Therefore, I feel compelled to list them if for no other reason than to vent my feelings.

Liars.............cheaters...................lawbreakers.................murderers.............thieves..............immoral slobs...........child abusers..............scam artists...............kidnappers...............thugs................gang members thinking they are true men..............lack of respect for anything or anyone...............loss of honor and pride..............sexual assaults in the military.................illegal aliens..................lack of border security ...........drug trafficking .....................war mongers..............dictators..............natural disasters.......... poverty.............terrible education system.......... terrible teachers ........... greed............ corruption...........lust for power at all costs.............Obamacare..............lack of clean water ............ starvation ............... genocide..............tax evasion........... excessive taxation............failed foreign policy........... Benghazi cover-up............IRS illegal tactics...........inarticulate, uneducated  society using only F bombs and other 4-letter words...............sociopaths...........narcissists...........sex offenders.............voter fraud...........entitlement fraud.........loss of pride.............teachers having sex with students......... discrimination.............anti-Christian attitudes............failure to acknowledge those that hate us and want to kill us............political correctness that has weakened us and ruined our once great country...............so-called journalists who have no compunction about lying and failing to write just the facts...............talking heads that just blather on and on when we really only want the facts and not their opinions which are many times based on untruths..................overspending... .increasing national debt.......inability for the government to solve ANYTHING.............government growing too big and too incompetent..............no one to believe anymore in government, media, society.............. unemployment staggering........families struggling............. fixed income elderly struggling............homeless population increasing...........hatred............ prejudice..... ........... students taught revised history...............ignorance among voters...........nanny state growing

Just listing all of these things in a blog post does not change any of them................but by listing all of these things and realizing there are many more which I have not listed, I know why I am overwhelmed by my feelings of anger, anxiety, and sorrow.  How can anyone read this list and think that things are going just great in America?

When will we finally give our government a vote of "No Confidence" and replace every one of the 542 people leading us down paths where we should not go and do not want to go?  No one is going to come and save us.  We must stand up and be counted and save ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, and our once great nation.  The only way we can do this is to NEVER again vote for any incumbent in any office whether city, county, state, or national.  We need to clean house or we are all going to regret it as things can and will continue to get worse and there will be a point of no return which is currently in our line of sight if we are truthful.

Labor Day When Many Are Unable To Find Jobs

Today is probably not as enjoyable a holiday as usual because so many of our fellow citizens are unemployed and desperately seeking work in order to support their families. Being unable to feed one's child or children must be excruciatingly painful. For those of us who are more fortunate or for those who have jobs or businesses, let us not forget those who are struggling. Remember.........our turn might come before this economic disaster ends. When shopping perhaps buy an extra one or more boxes or cans of non-perishable food. Through churches, civic organizations, food banks, charities you can easily find a place to drop it off where it is needed. A hungry child or a family in need will be blessed by your small, kind, caring gift. God Bless America, and God Bless You for caring and helping.
