Where Do I Find Meaning In Life? Spread Holiday Cheer!

Lets get to the point of the question where do I find meaning in life. I believe that this is a simple question look at the person next to you. Do they genuinely need help. I believe money should not be handed out unless its a government backed company. I am saying that for safety reasons.

 If you want to make a difference this holiday research safe methods to help the homeless people who are hungry, children that need toys, books for the teenagers just useful items that I believe would bring joy to someone less fortunate. Maybe donate items that you no longer use to these places. Offer to buy a goody bag filled with useful items for the holidays. Blankets to keep warm.

I believe someones character can help to turn their situation around. The sooner a person can mature is a great quality to have. First you need a place to live that is safe and free of hazardous chemical something that is clean. The place would need to be cleaned by you so try natural products like vinegar salt and essential oils. I don't know if this is a correct thing to do but to disinfect with alcohol I like to spray my apartment with alcohol and Mrs.Meyers dish soap shake it up and start spraying.

Mininalism Versus Consumerism

Minimalism vs Consumerism which do you gravitate to? Leave a comment below please thank you.

Consumerism the ability to spend as much money as you can in order to give yourself rewards and feel good feelings. The end result would be less money devoted to savings. Consumerism is a good thing because everybody need items they feel connected with but the problem is spending to much money  to the point were it affects the person negatively. Negative like you are not able to eat because you had to buy the latest makeup that would eventually be tossed in the garbage in two or three years or replaced with something glittery and shiny and new that catches the eye at the time. I need to be self-disciplined especially when I do not have enough money for food rent or transportation. I need to try to buy what I need and spend just a few dollars on what I want. Stick with the basics of life first then pay for yourself/invest in yourself. Whatever money is left over spend it wisely on yourself.

Minimalism from my prospective is spending  more time with people that are good for you. Like  friends and family or talking to a professional about something you have a question about. Meaning spend your time and money on experiences that are beneficial to you. Make sure my own happiness comes first and to continue to  grow and develop and not relay solely on temporary stuff.

My goal I set for myself is to be the happiest person with great memories enjoying nature and music and cultures. I need to get off my phone and enjoy the simplest things in life to be happy. Also taking time to care for people look out for animals and not trash the earth.

Putting an Emergency Bag Together

Hello lovelies if there was a state of emergency what would your bag look like?What kinds of things would you store in it ? Thank you leave your comments down below. I am very interested in what you have to say.

I do not think I have ever been though a state of emergency before. But being prepared for any thing is the best motto to have in life. It might take a couple months to put a compatible bag together but it is actually a very good idea considering anything can happen at any moment. So being able to grab the emergency bag and seek shelter is a good idea. There are so many simple things that you can pack in the bag here is my top items we can put in our bags in case the worse happens.

Canned goods plus can opener. The cans should be small and should not take up to much space.
Also protein bars, dried fruits and dried vegetables sealed in a plastic container. Water bottles and a steal bottle. A steel small pot. A little water filter. Wooden spoons, knifes and forks. The object of this is to have a lot of useful items but make sure the items are small enough so they fit in your bag. Another thing to mention make sure the items in your emergency bag are light weight.

Next medications and supplements enough medication that can last twelve months. Medication like aspirin or Tylenol anything that is safe and works for your body type would be great. Supplements I would chose a multivitamin and Vitamin D, Fish Oil and Niacin.

Journal, pen, map and compass
Portable phone charger
For sanitation I like to grab, coconut oil and salt. Tooth brush and toothpaste coconut oil and salt. Soap, a non sensitive fragrance free bar plus apple cider vinegar and alcohol.

Cash is always great to have as well as the pennies dimes and quarters.

Ideas For Food Aid in American Communities.

Hi beautiful people leave a comment about how we as a online community can help solve hunger starting within our own communities. Hunger is the lack of the ability to eat and be able to access resources. Please leave your suggestions on this very terrible crisis affecting our communities.

I know what it is like to be hungry. To be that person without food. It really sucks but maybe we together can come up with some ideas that may help someone. Lets try to help people be well feed as the New Year is about to be ushered in.

First there are churches that donate food. The food can range from dry food, canned food, eggs and pasta and sometimes fresh fruits/ vegetables and bread. I would take as much free food as I can carry and stock it. In order to get free food I would have to bring an ID. Some places even require you to bring a utility bill of the place your renting.

Some of the resources I needed was a folding steel storage utility carts for shopping. These carts range from $50 to $100 dollars or less or even free at thrift stores or just ask the churches if they can kindly help with finding one.

Next I would buy cookbooks, nutritional books, wellness books maybe a list of vitamins and minerals, journals. Use these books to research different types of diseases and how to prevent them with proper nutrition.

Growing your own vegetables and fruits is a very helpful skill so you can share with your friends and neighbors. Soil is like $25 bucks and seeds can be as cheap as .99 cents at the dollar tree or home depot during the spring and summer months stock up on some seeds. Another helpful tip is buying organic fruit and vegetables and harvesting the seeds from them that way you can save money on seeds. You can even make your own soil by using organic left over vegetables leaves husks and others. You tube is a great search engine to look up any questions you might have about gardening.

Get a multi vitamin that is high in minerals plus vitamins such as niacin vitamin d vitamin c and fish oil. Multi vitamins are $20 bucks or more. Buy protein shakes another $15 or $25 investment. Protein shakes are a good back up  plan in case there is not that much food left and you are trying to get through the couple days left.

Water is very important. I get a case of water every month or a couple of jugs of water which can cost 0.99 cents at places like Wal-mart Dollar tree or even fast food places. In fast food places its call a curiosity cup to get a free cup of water. Another way to get water is the kitchen sink.  Investing in one of those water filter jugs or boil the water on the stove to kill bacteria. Visit a friends house or family house and ask if you can grab some available water bottles. Some places like libraries have water fountains.
If you do not know something just ask someone at the library like the librarian for tips.

Keep staying curious to all my readers. 

Foot Alignment Socks Review.

Hello question of the day... What type of things do you do to keep your feet healthy. I want to know have a blessed and have a wonderful day.

This is going to be a different type of blog post. Today its all about feet correcting socks that I found on Amazon.

We have all seen those pictures of woman's feet looking sun kissed and  beautifully painted while at the beach. Well a company called Sam Great World came out with theses inexpensive foot socks that are meant for toe correcting. Which I have been enjoying for the past few months. When I had first put them on my feet felt  really uncomfortable within minutes. I think what your suppose to do is gradually break in the socks and allow time for your toes to get adjusted. Because the job of the socks is to realign your toes and the rest of your foot in a normal position. So it would make sense the socks feeling uncomfortable at first. I had to just gradually introduced my foot to the toe socks. So the first week I would wear them for 10 minutes walking lightly around the house. Then 20 minutes the second week. Then 30 minutes the next week. Until I can walk around my apartment with these socks on effortlessly and when they feel more comfortable. 

The benefits I can see from wearing these toes socks is that they support my foot.  I could also immediately feel like they were trying to readjust my toes as soon as I put them on. Which is a good thing but I  decided  I am only going to be wearing them for 10 minutes  and until I can tolerate them being uncomfortable on. Warning these socks take a while to get use to.

I am giving this product 5 stars. One the color in which the socks came in was a beautiful color. A Lego bright blue. The socks also kept my feet warm and left my toes exposed allowing them to get fresh air. These socks can even be worn while exercising. Last benefit is the ease of putting these socks on is not difficult. I want to give these socks some time and see if my feet and toes can improve over a period of several months. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Take care.

Samantha I Love You?!

Do you love your pets ? What is the best memory you have had with your pet. ? Leave your comment down below please. And have a sun shining day.

Ah love ...Amor ...beloved.... my sweet heart ...my one true love. The movie her was an emotionally sacred thought provoking and emotional film. The sound track was beautiful and the script was heart breaking. Having said that I have never been in love? Well only one time and its with a non human an animal. His name is Dude? I love him because when you look at him and he looks at you  and there is an understanding that we both need each other. When we see each other we are picking up from were we had left off. Yes I have had people say they loved me but I know that is not true.

I feel people can be turned off and on in any moments time and they are unpredictable. They hurt you make you feel less then. No person has ever loved me. Your pets they love and accept you because your part of the pack a team. The animals strength is what I lack what the animal can not speak into existence and the ability to figure things out logically and record it is the animals down fall.

Any way I feel like having a computer to fall in love with me like in the movie Her is kind of a ridiculous thing to imagine. We as a society have already in a way fallen deeply in love with our computers. Mainly by our phones. We rush to answer it when it rings.  We smile and it takes photos of us.  We are informed with positive reminders of the agenda today. With the computer we can connect to other people and see what is going on in there lives.

Computers are just programs that people already put  information into them they are told what to say. If I was to ask the computer is my hair beautiful or ugly. Would the computer really think about my hair and the present state of my hair or would the computer have been some options and it was able to pick and choose at random.

As I am writing this post I can not help but feel angry. I want something real and authentic. I do not want something mindless telling me something false and possibly inaccurate at random answer. I love animals because they are innocent in that they do not chose at random they go with there instinct based on their environment and how they are treated.

I like the idea that I can get fully naked in front of my pet and they would not look at my cellulite my stretch marks or my burns. Pets look at your face waiting for your love and affection and care. You go to someone to hook up with they immediately analyze you and make judgment's on your looks your body your smell your hair your skin. Your pet does not care they just want to cuddle in the sheets with you. Even if your body has hair, hairy armpits, stinky breath , sagging  skin and wrinkles. I would not like falling in love with a computer. I would like to choose my authentic pet that loves me authentically.

Finding Success in Self- Esteem

Question for the reader what can you do or have been doing to keep yourself more confident throughout your day. Or are you naturally self-confident and are good in that area. Thank you for commenting and have a great day or night.

I recently started reading Nathaniel Branden PH.D book entitled The Power Of Self-Esteem.  I am interested in his formula which is

Self-Esteem=Success
                    Pretensions
First I would like to attempt to define self-esteem, success and pretensions. Self-Esteem to me is the ability to be confident in myself. Confident in my abilities, my strengths, my weakness and goals. To produce the outcome that I am confident enough to show my product to the world and in turn not feeling defeated when someone makes a comment or critiques. My confidence should remain strong and be able to accept the criticism and change my product. Or hear criticism and do absolutely nothing with the product knowing confidently that what I have produce is worthy to be praised and have potential through my own eyes.

Success is achievement that is recognized or unrecognized that usually took work to achieve through many set backs and trails and errors. In the end success is accomplished and is usually praised by the yourself or someone or by something else. Success is also can be considered achieving happiness and being proud of yourself that you were able to overcome when you may have felt like giving up.

Lastly pretensions I am guessing is a plan set in motion that usually requires action to work towards a goal. To take steps in order to achieve your goal.

The formula is a simple formula when looking at it more closely. The number of pretensions divided by the success you have from those prestensions equals levels of self esteem.

More of a break down the more time you devote on planning and taking the time to get your goals done are small achievements. That later on become  a persons successes that have levels of boosters to your confidence aka your self esteem. Which in turn strengths your abilities making you feel more confident and happy about your success and the steps it took you to get there.

Scenario 1 Cars
To the journey towards self esteem starts with a clear focused goal this goal is what you love to do that your proud of completing.

Examples of prenetisions are goal setting like steps to learn something about cars you would have to take action meaning buying the books to study. Buying a model of several cars to be able to physically hold each part of the car in your hand. Taking a test to see if you master your knowledge about the car. Then getting a job as a mechanic or sales person or own your own car shop. Then  hire people to help you sell cars and fix them up. Then making some money from the car sells. Then once enough money is brought in think about expanding your brand or logo to different parts of the area or towns. Then put ads in the newspaper for people to see what you have to offer. Customers will start to come by your shop and be interested in the things you have to offer in your dealership. Now you have a name those customers will talk about your dealership. You might even have a product that you set for a million dollars. Within hours it is sold from someone who believes they can benefit from your new invention. Now you create another product that you sell globally online . Now everyone wants your product around the world your name is in the newspaper you have now achieved your prentenions your goals your steps to to become successful.

Each prentensison I mentioned is a success when you look back on your work you can say to your self. O wow I did this on this date and I achieved this too in such short time. Or look how many sales took place on this date. Look we were in the newspaper in early 2000s now our company is a global success.

After the prentensions and success comes the self esteem. But I must stress  to you are a success if you have goals and you accomplished some them or all of them . The goal I think is for everyone to continue to set goals and set dreams, create and have fun. Have fun in your journey always strive to be better in your own eyes. Be happy with yourself give yourself credit and everything you have accomplished makes you already a success story. Knowing your success story gives you the confidence to know hey I am going to be alright and I am worthy.
