May today there be peace within

Lets try blue today. Ilove the color palette! To all my readers and I have so many I wish you peace today and I challenge you to do something nice for someone without even a reason. I am a liberal and proud of it.
I dont know about any of you but I get really tired of people calling people who are liberals..spineless,cut and run fanatics. In my mind it takes much more effort and knowledge to get to know other cultures ,and much harder yet to allow them to let them know us than to order men to combat. What are these men really dieing for? My God we are talking about young men and women struck down before there young lifes begin. Yes we have the terrorist but has anybody ever tried to understand there culture? We are to busy name calling and accusing to even begin to understand what the Iraq children must be going through. Look what our scum bag politicians [on both sides our doing to each other] Is this the only way we can relate to people? Yes I DO BELIEVE WE SHOULD GET OSAMA....BUT......Why are we in the middle of a war where he is not? Or at least wasnt. Our world is in sad shape and beyond all the suffering of our poor,old and young children in this country When will the people we elect ever choose to hear us. I heard Mrs. Cheny accuse CNN last night of being pro democratic Does she think that the media just makes this stuff up? Her husband would choose the fox network[ Theres a class act they cant even speak without reaming the democrats. How ironic that Vice President Cheney only watches Fox in his hotel rooms. I cant wait until the truth comes out about all of them but then again who wants to here the smut? It is my prayer for the American people that whom ever we choose will have an understanding of the simple folks,the old, the children all over the world, and how God would really want us to act
This add is approved by my simple self

This is my guy now

1. This is my hero now

My favorite guy....

When I was a little girl I use to dream someday I will grow up and meet a man that would treat me like a princess. I must tell you I went through many experiences even a thirteen year marriage, looking for someone just to love me as I am. I am writing this because I feel I am so lucky and sometimes we take life for granted. This guy wakes up and makes me coffee,this guy tells me every morning how much he loves me, this guy after being in constuction for years found out two years ago he had bone cancer,but refused even though in great pain to not give up.He would build me up when I was down. He went through a stem cell transplant using his own cells and thank God reached remission.Today we our buying property and remodeling it because to him working makes him happy.[I'm working changing on that idea!] I guess hes showen me how much determination,love,and laughter can make a difference in life.I wish everyone out there could be as lucky.All I can say is hang in their you will meet your hero!

New information on social/emotional issues for children

Today I went to a very insightful workshop for teachers dealing with the ways teachers approach children with behavior disorders. The strategies involved the ways teachers approached the child basically with affirmation of the childs feelings compared to rewards for positve behaviors. The methods dealt with understanding how the brain works each part reflecting a different behavior.
The front of the brain [control,responsibility,passive behaviors] tThe inner part reflecting emotional responses[fear,guilt,happiness etc.] The stem of the brain taking control of the agressive nature[[impulse reations such as hitting,biting etc] Methods included affirming feelings and offering the child a safe place to get feelings under control. Deep breathing,eye contact as well as touch are some ways to help the child regroup so to speak. I am curious as to how many teachers are familiar with Becky Baily and if these methods have been helpful in there classroom community? With the problems children are facing now a days we need to revise our methods because it is obvious to me we need more than what we have been taught. It must start at an early age. All children in our fast pace lifestyle are at risk.

The painting that I am putting in to this blog is called Free Fallin I really dont know what inspired my artwork I think the World Trade Center and the thought of how awful it would have been to have had to make a choice as some did to escape the towers may have something to do with it although I really didnt piece it together until after I was done.I would like to think that in a time upon entering heaven we would all in the element of nakedness such as the the person is portrayed.That there would be no shame or shyness in the fact that he made us all unique and different.
