Nelson Mandela "Our Deepest Fear"

fear for nelson mandela

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?


You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Nelson Mandela

OH NO!!!!!

Now is not the time to wonder if your insurance policy has motorbike insurance compensation. It's too late once you've had the accident. You want a company that will serve you well. Several states require helmets for the motorcycle driver and their passengers so there will be fewer injury claims and fatalities. Several states have laws covering only the riders and 3 states have no helmet laws at all. Many states with motorcycle helmet laws are repealing them.

NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), reports that 65% of motorbike injury claims and fatally injured riders in 2006 were not wearing helmets compared to 13% in states that have rider helmet laws. The largest increase in motorcycle fatalities from 2006-2008 was in the age group 50 and above. The group still having the largest percent of fatal crashes was in the 20-29 year age range. 27% of those who died in vehicle accidents with a blood alcohol level of .08 or more were on motorcycles.

I Love The Summertime

Plain and simple: I love flowers. I recently got back from a week in Hawaii and flowers were everywhere. The flowers that we pay lots of money for in the states grow like weeds there. My favorite flower is the orchid and I found them everywhere. Growing by the roadsides, the orchids grew in fantastic colors. The residents think of them as weeds and are constantly trying to get rid of them as some varieties can choke out other forms of vegetation. After I got home and re-checked the price of orchids, I started to think about possibly getting an arbor and trying to grow my own flowers. The variety of designs in arbors is fabulous with many styles and designs to choose from.

When I was driving the other day, I passed a house that had a tire swing hanging from a large, gnarled apple tree. It made me think back to the days when I was little and we visited my grandparents. They didn't have a tire swing but they had the most fabulous wooden arbors. My sister and I would play around them for hours at a time and wave to the engineers on the trains that passed not far from her house. The garden arbors were wrapped in grape vines and my grandmother made jams and jellies from the grapes. The only time we didn't play there was when the grape vines were in bloom as the flowers attracted hundreds of bees and hornets.

What is Sun Salutation?

In most yoga disciplines, one of the main series of stretches is the Sun Salutation. This is a series of 12 postures that one performs in one single, fluid movement. It's actually very beautiful to watch, because the movements of the yoga practitioners are so fluid and trained; it's almost like watching a lovely, winding river flowing along. Sun Salutation may be done slowly, or some people really want to get the most physical benefits from the exercises, so they do what is known as power yoga, and perform the postures quickly.

Breathe as You Move

Each movement goes along with the yoga practitioner's breathing. One posture is done while the person is breathing in, the next movement done on the exhale. Sun Salutation begins and ends with the same posture, beginning on an inhale and ending on an exhale. This sometimes can take a while to learn how to do properly, especially if you tend to get out of breath easily. Be patient, and in time you will be doing the postures with the proper breathing and getting the full benefits of yoga.

The 12 Postures of Sun Salutation

When you do the Sun Salutation, you are performing stretches that will utilize every joint and muscle in your body, for a total body workout. In fact, a one-hour yoga workout is just as beneficial as a one-hour aerobic workout, without all of the jumping and running that can cause injuries, especially to the hips, knees and ankles. Each of the 12 yoga postures stretches different groups of muscles, and the combination makes for an awesome workout. The 12 yoga postures for Sun Salutation are:
-- Mountain
-- Hands Up
-- Head to Knees
-- Lunge
-- Plank
-- Stick
-- Upward Facing Dog
-- Downward Facing Dog
-- Lunge
-- Head to Knees
-- Hands Up
-- Mountain

When you practice Sun Salutation regularly, you will find that it gets easier and easier to do, and the breathing techniques will be just like second nature. As you improve your flexibility, muscle tone and lung capacity, hold the positions longer, while still practicing the breathing techniques, with longer and deeper breaths. You'll be getting into great shape in no time, looking and feeling better every day.

Yoga is a fun and relaxing form of exercise that has been practiced by millions of people all over the world for thousands of years. It is a great way to learn how to relax and sleep better, and to get into great shape, with improved flexibility and muscle tone. One of the first things you will learn in a yoga class is Sun Salutation, the foundation to any yoga workout.

Horror Movies

Thanks to my buddy John Granger for the guest blog post.

You know, not many movies strike fear into the hearts as much as the remake of George Romero's Night Of The Living Dead. I never thought that they could recreate it so perfectly as they did. I was really surprised to find that my brother recorded it on the DVR to watch on my cable tv. Technology and special effects were top notch in this remake, due to the help of Tom Savini. He actually was the make up and special effects coordinator for the original, which came out all the way back in the 1960's. I definitely do not suggest that you watch this movie with your little ones, because ther is a ton of gore throughout the film.

Horror movie enthusiasts have to check this one out if they haven't done so already. I get so sick of the way that horror movie remakes have been done lately, but this one really stands out as different. There is just something about being confined in a single space that gives the audience a sense of being trapped as well. There were enough changes to the original format of the film to keep your interest throughout its duration. If Hollywood was smart, they would do many more remakes just like this one. Maybe if Tom Savini did the makeup, they would be scary as well.

I Finally Get To The Getty

If you're a fan of incredible architecture or just tire of driving down the 405 and looking up at that little white tram heading up the side of the mountain and wondering why not you. Well here's your chance to join the people in the know. After countless excuses of why I haven't been. I finally decided to use an off day with absolutely nothing planned an very little money to spare,to visit the Getty Museum. It took me 2 minutes on the computer to prep myself, location, cost and exit to get off at and about 15 minutes to get my travel food together, sandwiches, snickers and a ice chest full of ice, water and gatorade. I grabbed my camera and keys, set the alarm systems for the home and was off. Going during the middle of the week I found less traffic getting there.

First tip of the day: wear comfortable shoes, there is a bit of walking too do but with all there is to see I don't think you'll notice. At least not until the end of the day. They have these head phones that you can rent,that will narrate the exibits marked with a special icom. It's sort of like getting a guided tour. Now when I drive the 405 and look up at the Getty, it's a share memory. That was a great day.
