WOW! What a tear jerker that was..........I didn`t realize how small , really young Randy Pausch`s children are.
He ran the last lap as well as anyone could, and as his wife says they are no different from the millions of us going through the same thing.
When she said the monthly tests is a reminder of what they are going through i realized how much i have to be thankful for as my monthly is now every 6 months and really how much that does affect your psyche.
It was wonderful to see how excited and full of childish glee he was when he achieved his childhood dream of playing professional football. It doesn't get better than that.
I also noticed how at times he was with the family, but not really with the family as u saw in his body language just how sick he was feeling but how hard he was trying to keep his game face on.
When he started to crack in his interview, tears just poured down my face as i felt his pain to my core, the fact that these 3 little children most probably will know another man as their father, he won`t be there to protect them, won`t be there to love them and receive their love, the eldest one such a clone of his father, did u hear him constantly questioning....... Randy`s close friend Steve Seabolt said when he told Dylan that some problems can`t be solved at least not yet, the child answered "my daddy has taught me that every problem can be solved,and that i should BELIEVE that every problem can be solved, and that i`m strong enough and smart enough that i should never let a problem get in my way," If that isn`t a mini Randy well u tell me, as make no ghost fool u, Randy is -sorry- was a very 'anal' man. U can see how he always strived for perfection. The aliveness u see in his eyes is what was transmitted to his body to keep him going.
Although he toned down his early arrogance it was always right under the surface but because he worked on himself he could keep it under control and bring it out in his wit .
We are told that as his body was failing his friend Steve told him it's OK to let go and his final words were ,"I`ll get back to u on that" letting us know that he knows his body was going but his spirit would live on.
His book and video are certainly things that this world is better off having........
THANK YOU RANDY FOR GIVING THIS CANCER PATIENT REASON TO GIVE THANKS EVERYDAY

Losing people we love
Losing people we love is never easy, whether we have lost them through death or divorce.
End of life as we know it always throw us for a loop. Why? We don`t like change whether we know it's for the good or not, we just can`t deal with it, we want life to continue as is no matter if the person has been dead for months and we are just waiting for the breath to leave the body or the relationship ended months maybe years ago but we just don`t want to let them go.
I had written the above before the Randy Pausch news came...He was given 6mths to live but he TOOK 22....We expected it but it still sent a shiver through me , not because he died but because he stopped LIVING.......If we learnt nothing else from this man, take how he LIVED -especially in the face of adversity - and impart even a small part of that into your own.
Diane Sawyer is doing a programme on him this (tuesday) evening on Prime Time ABC, don`t miss it.
You will realize how small your issues are when placed in the big scheme of things and believe what he says as we never wake up and smell the roses till something tragic happens to us, don`t wait on it to happen to u, straighten out your priorities now!
When u feel your life is falling apart, you have financial problems, they are coming for the house tomorrow, your spouse just left, u don`t know what to do...JUST STOP......put yourself in the NOW, not tomorrow not yesterday....just take it one day at a time... Then break it down to the moment and second.
Every moment u are having, feel it, be in that moment, once you are in the moment, it matters not what will happen tomorrow. They might not come for the house and u would have fretted and lost your night's sleep for nothing. Tomorrow is another day. U see how they are now saying women are panicking over lumps in their breast unecessarily because they are doing their self exams too often. If your spouse left, look at it from another angle, wow -i have more space, no one to answer to, every negative that pops in your mind, put a positive one there instead.
I have never seen where 'woe is me' helps anyone.
WHY ME?
The answer is WHY NOT ME.

'Crazy sexy cancer tips'
Well it was so nice watching Kris Carr on Oprah doing what i`ve been preaching for the past 2 years and she is getting results.....Kris wrote a book called CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS.......
She is going all out for life..How? She put aside the drastic treatments and made fruit and vegetables her friends......
She became focused and changed her mindset from death to life, she chose green juice, yoga, dance and love..... She put away fear, she now has what she calls beauty spots on her lungs and liver, not cancer spots.........looking at her u would never know she had gotten a death sentence.
She says we are all going to die but when she does she would have had a wonderful life........ not having tubes in, and all parts of her burnt out, in fact she got married as she says they were madly in love and made a great team so why not? Why not indeed. She shows that life is for living.... like i`ve been wondering how is Randy Pausch doing? He chose another way.
Click on the following link and u can read all about Kris's interview with Dr.Oz Kris Carr on Oprah
Dr Oz had heard about her and had to look her up, he even drank some of her green juice -as she has left behind alcohol for green juice- and enjoyed every drop of it.
I suggest anyone out there that just got the dreaded diagnoses,try and read about her and if u can find it, watch the documentary that she produced for TLC.
Fabulous story.....
Check out her blog Kriss Carr's Crazy Sexy Blog! u can`t have too many positive people writing on wellness..........
WHEREVER THERE IS LIFE
THERE IS HOPE......
After i posted this it seems as if Randy Pausch passed either last night or this morning. PEACE AT LAST.

EATING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES HELP PREVENT CHRONIC ILLNESSES
An article just came out in Business Week about the rising cost of health care and refers to a recent study on the treatment of cancer with the new generation of highly individualized targeted cancer drugs. GENETECHS`S(DNA) AVASTIN or IMCLONE`S (INCL) ERBITUX . These drugs can cost US$100,000 or more but they add only a few months of life for most patients, they do offer however a slim chance of a longer benefit to a few, therefore cancer patients demand them and doctors recommend them in the hope that they might get lucky. The section of the article I`ve told u about is on page 2, if u don`t want to read the whole thing. CLICK HERE FOR THE ARTICLE .
How come patients are not demanding fruit and vegetables to eat and drink and turning down these chemicals that cost an arm and a leg and the precious little time u paid for( if u r lucky) is spent either in hospital or feeling awful all day.
I will never understand it....
My little study shows that people who never had chemo, more of them are around years later........so why when we go and get the dreaded diagnoses, do we panic and spend millions to burn out our cells ? Then when we have 2 feet in the grave instead of one,we start talking about green juice and start taking some strange things,guinea hen whatever,any new thing on the market.....why don`t we start drinking the green juice from when we get the dreaded diagnoses ? I can`t tell u how many people are around using that method and living to tell the tale.........
Plus when last i checked weren`t fruit and vegetables cheaper than chemotherapy ?
This article is telling us that in Europe they are turning down patients if they feel they don`t need these expensive medications as they don`t feel it's worth it.
A woman i knew who had several rounds of chemo, told me she ate lots of vegetables, cooked vegetables that i`m sure were cooked into oblivion,with white rice and her meatkind or a salad with lots of dressing and chicken........how can eating like that plus chemo get u to pull one foot out of the grave even for a little while ? It can`t, so after a year of chemo, she passed.
We are all feeling that it can`t happen to us but look around u, 6 out of 10 of us will die from a chronic illness. Diabetes, stroke, heart disease etc....
Plus can i tell u that saying u eat a lot of vegetables means nothing as ' a lot of vegetables' normally means 2 or 3 spoons of some kind of cooked vegetable or a salad.
I think the food and drug administration is now saying we should have 9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day up from 5 and we weren`t even having 5 .
That's where glyconutrients comes in. Fruit and vegetables zapped into powder and tablet form.....Think of it how many of us eat that amount of fruit and veg each day even the vegetarians among us? And bear in mind it went up because they say the quality of fruit and vegetables have deteriorated over the years what with pesticides and insecticides and poor quality of soil.
The other day i was having lunch and someone who knows i eat ' a lot of' fruit and vegetables made a fruit juice for me. When it came my friend drank it. When i asked her what she was doing she said 'u can`t have it as it has in sugar'. Sure enough when i asked the person who made the juice she said yes she had put sugar in it as most people like their natural fruit juices sweet....well if that is your practice i`m here to ask u......
WHAT'S THE POINT?

FEAR/LOVE
Throw your heart over the fence and the rest will follow
NORMAN VINCENT PEALE
U know fear and love are to me the 2 greatest things in life.....One keeps us paralyzed from doing anything and the other lets us do anything we want to do....why?
What our mind can conceive we can achieve ......Fear make us unable to think so we do nothing and love makes us feel we can do everything so we do.
Problem is we confuse genuine love with foolishness and wonder why we are not achieving anything, because we are so absorbed with the other person, not knowing ourself....
I have never liked that phrase 'my other half '.....to me it connotates that we need the other half to become whole, but i believe if u r not whole u not going to attract a whole person u going to get just what u ordered...... a half.
We need to spend all our time trying to be whole, perfect and complete therefore attracting into our life the same. U know like attracts like , so save yourself the stress , try and work on yourself therefore u r more aware of what you want to attract into your life and when the wrong one appears u can sense it immediately so u can send them packing ..........
When we get caught up with the drama , nothing comes of it. We stay unhappy and hurt and constantly blame everybody but ourself.....He/she did it to me..NO.....u did it to yourself.
Don`t play the blame game, just come from an honest perspective and u will see clearly that it's u and only u.
Love is forever, it doesn`t come and go, they didn`t change ,u have taken off the rose coloured glasses, that's all, admit u made that move because u FEARED being alone , so u labeled it LOVE.
Nobody changed u just are now seeing them differently, if u had stayed in the now u would have seen them clearly long ago, but label nothing bad, realize that u needed to learn the lesson.
When u open yourself to the universe all kinds of positive things appear...just KNOW what u want and open yourself BELIEVING. NOT FEARING.LOVE is the only way.
In other words LET GO AND LET GOD!

ARE WE AWAKENING TO FOOD
It is so wonderful to see the western world realizing that food is the way to go.....Did we have to wait till we are all dying off and getting sick in epidemic proportions to realize we are digging our graves with our teeth?
My heavens! Are we seriously going to stop buying thousands of dollars of processed food and try and spend more time in the market?
Are we finally going to realize that the doctors cannot help us with our sinus related illnesses as all those pills that they give us is covering it up, not going to the root cause....which is , we need to stop eating mucus related foods!
We need to stop eating white rice, white bread, white sugar, white flour. Why? They are over-processed. Stop eating them and watch your sinus problems clear up.
Common sense tells u to come off dairy right ? I don`t need to tell u that. All the fast foods..... come off that too. U don`t know what oils they are using for one. Just try it.
Give yourself 3 months and see..... and don`t tell me u r off but still putting condensed milk in your tea.
The other thing i notice people i know doing when they want to lose weight is they stop eating altogether.
Please do not do that .....all u are doing is slowing down your metabolism.
I think we always go for the quick fix, so we try the chemicals which promise us instant relief. We eat wrongly so we take the antacid, we eat badly therefore lowering our immune system so when we get sick, we take the antibiotics.
I am married to a doctor, and when my son was younger and got a cold he would say 'is what he`s coughing up yellow?' If the answer was no, he would say '7 days' so unless the mucus coming out was yellow which meant infection, the poor child would have to cough and sputter until he got better in 7 days.
He always said a virus has to run its course. He believes that we don`t know what type of virus it is so how are we going to give antibiotics on an ad hoc basis.....made sense and all doctors know that but since we go to them coughing and sputtering , looking so mashed up and feeling rotten, they give us the antibiotics and hope it works...... How many of us are given tests to find out what kind of virus we have unless we can`t get better?
Have u noticed that these viruses nowadays even with antibiotics last over 3 weeks sometimes more....and u r left with a cough or a general low feeling for weeks after.....I wonder why that has happened ? could it be too much antibiotics instead of letting our colds run their course.....Do we realize that colds and flus are 2 different things?
We are so addicted to sweet that i notice the favourite thing everybody loves in 'raw food' is the pies - why ? It's sweet so we are still looking for a sugar fix.
So since we have to have sodas and sugar in our tea, coffee, juice etc.....why not eat fruit? Fruit is sweet, when very ripe i think they are too sweet so why not start there and work your way up ?
U know i don`t think anyone knows why certain people get certain things as we have people who do everything right and have no history in their family and still come down with cancer.....We hear the stories every week of people who never smoked, never did this or that, excercised everyday and still succumbed...well since we don`t know, why not give ourselves a fighting chance?
It's better to prevent than cure.

LOVE ,THE FEELING WE FEEL.
LOVE LIKE WATER ALWAYS FINDS ITS OWN WAY.
Ingrid Batencourt
Is what we are watching people go through now.... love? Who is Christie Brinkley and why does the media think that we want to watch her and her husband disintegrating on camera...do u care ? I don`t!
And what happens if Madonna and A-rod want to link up ? Isn`t that their business aren`t they the ones prepared to shell out the big bucks to be together? And if they make the choice to be together, any bets on how long they will last?
But better yet ....is it true or is the media doing their usual number ? A-rod is a rich Hispanic. Is he too rich for a Hispanic and needs to be brought down ? The media plays so many games one never knows.
U know as a teenager there was a joke going....... when u ask what is love they would say love is a feeling u feel when u are feeling the feeling u r feeling. Didn`t understand it then , but over the years and noticing that the feeling i was feeling wasn't there any more it became clear to me that it wasn`t funny at all........But true it was.....And now that i can watch from an arm chair it certainly is a feeling u r feeling when u r feeling the feeling u r feeling!
Why though do we get married while we r feeling that feeling ?
Shouldn`t we wait till we are not feeling it anymore ? Then we would know the difference between passing fancies and love........We would know the difference between the genitals and the brain .
I watched the bachelorette last night and isn`t there something a bit sick about this woman kissing how many men in one day and holding hands with 2 of them at the same time and kissing one then the other and telling them both she is falling in love with them..... people look down on swingers..What's the difference? This looks a little sicko to me.
Looking on that show(the bachelorette) and listening to the after show with all the tears and drama........This young lady made one poor guy go down on his knees knowing that she wasn`t choosing him as she claimed to be in love with another, but how do u fall in love with 3 guys at once ?.....I think that is what sums up marriage these days ...drama.....pure soap opera stuff......we are caught up in the drama of Love.
We are in love with the idea of being in love, how we feel in this moment has no bearing on the next....we have no idea what we are doing. We bring children willy nilly into this world, then we wonder where did all these dysfunctional children come from . Guess what ? We had them.........we didn`t even think of it. We were in love or in sex or whatever we were in at that moment.
We are going to have to start thinking a little more long term.....Maybe we should find out if we are in-like first so if in-love wears off at least we can be friends so that LOVE, WHILE IT FINDS IT'S OWN WAY will be the feeling we are feeling permanently.

SPIRITUALLY TUNED
It's the greatest discovery of life to recognize that you are more than your body and your mind
OPRAH WINFREY
We tend to get caught up with everyday life and it's so amazing when we come into the awareness that we are so much more than the cass cass that we get caught up in daily.....supposed we all focused and harnessed our power.........where would we be? Wouldn`t we all be winners?
Watch teams and individuals focus.....if u are tuned that way u can always know who is going to win.
They say that the one who is hungriest wins.....well what that means is the one who wants to win, focuses on the job at hand and BELIEVES that they can do it......I have been watching Michael Phelps swim at the US olympic trials and u know he has decided that he is going to break Mark Spitz's record and is going all out to do so.....The person who has been swimming in the lane next to him is along for the ride also breaking world records as he tries to beat Phelps..............
Then watching Serena and Venus at Wimbledon ........By the way these 2 girls when fit, sit at the top of the tennis world, why don`t they have any ads ? i would eat or drink what they tell me to as i would like to be like them. How come Sharapova is so full of ads and now cannot win a match to save her life ? I am not going to buy a camera because she uses it......Have to ask the question IS IT BECAUSE THE WILLIAM SISTERS ARE BLACK...?
Well it was great to watch them fighting their way back to the top.
Then watching the NBA finals didn`t u just know that those 3 guys Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett felt strongly that it was their time now and Kobe was not going to stop them. Truth be told while watching the game i felt that Kobe wanted them to have a ring too as he already has 3 . His hunger isn`t there anymore....
Look at Nadal's face when he came out to WIN Wimbledon. I didn`t even need to watch the game as i knew HE knew it was his year.......He took the year perfected his game on grass...and whopped FEDERER.
He did the work, so he reaped the reward.
Then there is our own Usain Bolt. REMEMBER I TOLD U........ IT'S HIS YEAR. Veronica Campbell also knows how to win, hardly likely that she will be denied.
Bejing here come the Jamaicans!
Every year u only need to watch the athletes on DANCING WITH THE STARS to see where discipline and work ethic can take u.
When someone is in the zone, they KNOW they are more than mind and body, they KNOW there is a larger power than themselves and connect to it. They got the message , did the work and are ready to reap the rewards.
It is the most wonderful thing to watch.
OPRAH WINFREY
We tend to get caught up with everyday life and it's so amazing when we come into the awareness that we are so much more than the cass cass that we get caught up in daily.....supposed we all focused and harnessed our power.........where would we be? Wouldn`t we all be winners?
Watch teams and individuals focus.....if u are tuned that way u can always know who is going to win.
They say that the one who is hungriest wins.....well what that means is the one who wants to win, focuses on the job at hand and BELIEVES that they can do it......I have been watching Michael Phelps swim at the US olympic trials and u know he has decided that he is going to break Mark Spitz's record and is going all out to do so.....The person who has been swimming in the lane next to him is along for the ride also breaking world records as he tries to beat Phelps..............
Then watching Serena and Venus at Wimbledon ........By the way these 2 girls when fit, sit at the top of the tennis world, why don`t they have any ads ? i would eat or drink what they tell me to as i would like to be like them. How come Sharapova is so full of ads and now cannot win a match to save her life ? I am not going to buy a camera because she uses it......Have to ask the question IS IT BECAUSE THE WILLIAM SISTERS ARE BLACK...?
Well it was great to watch them fighting their way back to the top.

THE COCONUT
First thing is the coconut is not a nut it's a seed. The largest seed known.......But who knew it was such a healing food?
The raw foodists in my neck of the woods believe in coconut water more than life itself when i read up on it i now know why. When they are doing their fasts they drink nothing but coconut water for 3 days .
It's more nutritious than whole milk....less fat and no cholesterol
It's healthier than orange juice.....much lower in calories
It's better than processed baby milk
It contains lauric acid which is present in human mother`s milk
It's a natural isotonic beverage with the same electrolytic balance as we have in our blood .
Do not confuse coconut water with coconut milk, two different things.
Coconut water contains more potassium than sports and energy drinks .
Coconut water has less sodium ( 25 mg ) whereas sports drinks have around 41 mg and energy drinks 200mg!
Please go and read the labels of these things.........we throw too much in our stomachs without reading first.
Coconut water also has 5 mg of NATURAL sugars whereas the supposed to be healthy sports and energy drinks have 10-25mg of ALTERED sugars!
Has anyone every seen altered sugars ?
"Coconut water is the very stuff of nature - biologically pure , full of natural sugars , salts, and vitamins to ward off fatigue...and is the next wave of energy drink BUT natural !" - Morin Satin, Chief of the United Nation's, Food and Agriculture Organization.
