We've Reached A Climax.....
When we met it was like taking a deep breath, no one could tear us apart. When Iooked in your eyes I saw the love you had for me. It was no guessing,I knew. My days were so much easier to handle because the love that was shared between the two of us was felt and I knew it woud only be hours before I was in your presence or to hear your voice. The only showers that I saw or felt was that of love.
As time went on I often wondered how we would keep this going, it was too good to be true. You know what they say "If it is too good to be true, then it probably is." What we shared did not fit into that category or so I thought.
I finally found myself thinking what did I do wrong? How is it that I miss something? One minute we are ok and in love and the next I find myself trying to come to grips that what we had is now over or is it? I promised myself to not ever be in this situation again and here I am looking the same situation in the face. My mind won't allow me to forget what we had. Do I leave or do I stay and try to work this out because by now I am thinking that we are too old to go through this and that we both know what it takes to make this work.
How did we end up here?
How did we become undone?
Is it something I said?
Is it something I done?
Funny because I keep coming up with the same answer which leads me back to the first question. I have to be real with myself too, we have reached a CLIMAX.......KNM

Citrus Electrolyte Blast
2 oranges
1/2 a large pink grapefruit
1 tangerine
1/2 of a lemon
Oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, limes and lemons–try to have these fruits always on hand because they are excellent natural sources of electrolytes. Oranges are an especially great choice. That’s why you might have seen athletes knocking back some juicy slices or downing an orange juice. Citrus juice really does make for great juicer recipes for energy. Don’t juice the peels they make for a very unpleasant taste and contain oils that can upset digestion. The white pith, however, is very healthy and loaded with antioxidants, more so than the flesh in fact

In The Matter of The Unemployed Man
It is very evident the economy we live in wreaks hovac in our relationships, or family lives. More and more of our men are becoming unemployed. And alot of them had invested time in their jobs only to wake up and loose it all (or so it seems) which leaves the woman of the household the provider of the family. As a woman it is so easy for "making a way" to kick in. It is natural for us as we are nurturers. We just do what we know, what we were taught to do. However, what we were not taught was to support the man when a problem like this hits us.
We view our men as strong, and able to handle business and when that is out of alignment so is the relationship/family and I won't leave out emotions. I hear alot of women complain that their husbands need to look for other ways to get a job, or that they are tired of going home to him sitting on the couch, or that since he is home dinner should be cooked and the house should be spotless. I could go on and on about the emotional rollercoaster in which some of us are taken. It's funny because out of all that, I never hear them support him and lift him up in prayer. The negative of the situation always gets the attention. It seems as tearing him down is the easiest route to go.
There are alot of single women who when you ask if they would consider dating a man who was unemployed would say "NO, he has to have a job before I enter a relationship with him." Imagine what kind of stain that is to the man who is trying really hard to find a job. It is important for us to remember that even though he is a man, does not take away from the point that he has feelings to. Not being able to provide for his family is heart breaking in itself. Seeing his wife/girlfriend picking up his slack is another blow and the final blow to him is that he has no support from her. For him a sense of responsibility was lost when he lost his job.
I always say that with every cause there is an effect. With him being unemployed there comes many effects behind it,
Communication~ Communicaton may be lost between he and his mate.
Family~ He may feel as if he let his family down.
Sex life~ It dwindles because of him feeling like a failure
Depression~ From being rejected by one job prospect to another
Apperance~ He no longer recognized himself in the mirror because the hurt and pain is now showing on the outside
It is important for us(women) to encourage him. He is the head of the household and no amount of money can change that. However what can change is our ability to stay grounded and build him back up. In order to make him go he needs the support from family and friends. It is very important to allow him to remain the head of the household and we can do that by not stripping him of his duties at home. The economy has already done that, he does not need it at home. Continue to talk to him, ask him how his day went (Yes, even if you already know.) Tell him how your day went. Communication is key. And most importantly show him affection a lot of it. He will appreciate it, and feed off of it.
This economy is not partial to anyone. There are alot of unemployed women as well and being unemployed does not take away from the person we are. The only ingredients needed to make it through is FAITH AND LOVE....

What do the lonely do?
Some mistake symptoms of loneliness for the symptoms of depression. It is easy to get the two mixed up. Loneliness can cause a person to become isolated from others out of fear. They try really hard to get back to the point of where they used to be, however they rarely are able to do it. The symptoms of lonliness and depression are so close together that Dr.'s usually end up just treating you for depression as it is a symptom of being lonely. The Dr.'s never treat the core of the problem, which leaves the person to deal with it on their own.
People are lonely for a number of reasons. Like depression, it is because they are lacking something in an area in their lives which causes them to be lonely. Some of those reasons are:
Being Single or having no prospects
Divorce
Death of a loved one
Employment
Moving away
There are plenty other reasons for being lonely, this is just a few. However these few things comes carrying a heavy punch. Being lonely can cause very serious health issues. Some of the health issues that come with being lonely are:
Severe headaches
Weight Gain, Weight loss
Fatigue
Feeling of worthlessness
Depression
Anger
People who are lonely normally isolate themselves from others out of fear of rejection.They tend to find things to do by themselves so that they won't have to go through rejection.Even though they are isolated, they long for interaction, however fear takes over and they become very anti-social. When they do meet someone who wants to spend the quality time with them, they usually run them away by being too clingy and obsessive. But they never see it as something they are doing wrong, the only thing they see is that they were just rejected so they withdraw themselves again. This process will last as long as they go untreated and it could get worse.
If not treated being lonely could eventually turn into things that will help take the pain away for them such as alcohol, Drugs, and abuse of food or maybe even other people.
If you or someone you know suffers fromt he above system, make it a point to talk to them and get them the help that is needed.
Until next time,

The "Challenge"
I am pretty sure that if you are a parent, you have heard your son or daughter talk about the challenge that is sweeping the internet. The name of the challenge is "The Cinnamon Challenge."
You can find it on Google, and Youtube. There have been plenty of questions if the challenge is indeed safe. According to the Urban Dictionary
A prank in which one person dares another to swallow, without the aid of
water, a spoonful of ground cinnamon within sixty seconds. The spice dries the
challenge taker’s mouth and is almost impossible to swallow. Some accidentally
inhale the cinnamon which causes temporary but severe chest pain, much to the
amusement of the challenger. Challengers use prize money as
persuasion.
This does not sound like a challenge that these kids should be participating in because the consequences are too severe.

The many faces of depression
Depression comes with many side effects. Some people know when they are depressed while others do not because they have allowed themselves to be depressed for so long that the depression has taken control of their bodies causing other health issues. It is always good to know when you are someone else is depressed to bring awareness so that they or you can get the help needed. Some signs to look for are
~Feeling sad all the time
~Feelings of worthlessness, guilt
~Loss of sexual drive
~Insomnia (can't sleep or early morning awakenings
~Increase or decrease in appetite causing weight gain or loss
~Loss of energy, hobbies, social interaction
~Thoughts of suicide
~Difficulty making decisions or concentrating
~Physical symptoms that does not seem to go away no matter how they are treated (Migrains, digestive disorders or constant pain.
One important thing to remember is that depression is bought on because of "LACK" of something. When a person looses someone they lack that person in their lives. When a person looses a job, they lack that source of income in their lives. Lack leads back to depression each and every time.
It is a trickle down effect...when things get you stressed out you push it to the back of your mind thinking that you got through another fight but everytime you go through something you never take the time to go back and work on the root of the problem, you keep going and it starts to build up and before you know it, you are sitting in the Dr.'s office with headaches, stomach problems. The Dr. can only diagnose you on the symptoms you give them. They stick a name on it and according to the diagnosis prescribe the medication associated with it. There is only one problem with this....The Dr.'s see so many patients a day that there is no time to really get to the bottom of why you are experiencing these symptoms.
Someone depressed can not possibly make healthy life decisions when the mind is not clear from the beginning. Your career, your spirituality and your physical health is all impacted.
Don't go another minute being depressed or knowing someone who is. Take control of it today, schedule your complimentary consultation with me @gmail.com

My "ME" Retreat
It makes me excited just thinking about it. If it is one thing I have learned the past year and a half is that no one else really cares about how overwhelmed you are, especially if you don't care about it yourself. People will push you and push you and think because they are still moving so should you. I am the glue that keeps everything together with school, kids, transitioning into my own business and it is not an easy job. It seems that the days are not long enough and to be honest with you, it seems like day by day the days get shorter and shorter. It is true time waits for no one.
While doing some business planning I quickly had an epiphany. I am planning retreats for women and I thought why not plan a retreat for myself? The only one who will be in attendance will be me. If I can plan a retreat for women and assist in giving them a PEACE of mind and aid them into a life of harmony and taking care of them, then I should practice what I preach and start with a renewed mind and allow my body to go into"BREAK" mode so to speak. It is something that is much needed at this point.
I think it is so important to take quality time out for yourself. I am so used to giving and doing that sometimes I go neglected in the interim. How can I help others if my mind is not clear? I have to be able to think with a clear mind, there is no need to speak out of the mess that has been piling up on me for a while. My client's would not appreciate that. So for the past couple of months I have been scoping out places to go into relaxation mode. I have thought about flying to Sedona, Az it has been quoted as one of the most serene places to be. The school is having a conference in California, it would be a great time to network with other Health Coaches. I decided on neither of the two. I know I want to be around water and stay beach front. So after careful consideration I made a decision
.................I am going to the coast of NC...I am going to CAROLINA BEACH... No one else, this retreat is going to be so awesome. I don't have to answer my phone and I don't have to listen at others tell me what they need for me to do. It will be a weekend just for me. If I want to lie in bed all day I will, get in my car and go sight seeing I will, take a long reflective walk on the beach, I will. I am so excited to just get away to clear my mind. I will be at my own beck and call. It will be a time for much reflection on my life and all that has happened, all that is happening and all that will happen. I know this train is about to take a shift in it's route and there won't be any slowing down. I am soooo ready...
Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive....
