A Special Message About Spring
Each day goes by just a little faster from my perspective. However, to some of my seniors, it appears to slow down a little.
I ran across this very inviting video about Spring and wanted to share it with you. Spring is a time of renewal and replenishing what we thought we had lost. My favorite season is Spring because it's not too cold and it's not too hot, but just right for a nice walk in the park during the late afternoon hours right before the sun sets.
Think within yourself at all you have hoped for and desire to achieve within this year and set a new path of discovery for yourself. No matter what age you are, you can always begin again. I do and so should you. There are no reasons to apologize when you fall because you have the ability to stand back up again. Sometimes you may have to dial a friend or family member for help, but know that action is a very important part of rediscovery.
Blessings to you this Spring, Selena.

Sunday Inspiration - Rain
Hello Readers,
It's Sunday and raining like 'cats and dogs' here in Los Angeles, CA, but it is a very good day. As I look out my window and notice how the rain is saturating the grass, leaves on the trees, and mountains in the background, I can't help but say 'THANK YOU' . Without the gift of rain on earth, how "would" there be continual growth and human existence. The earth, in its quiet little way, gives us special gifts that keep us living peacefully and attempts to constantly clean up our mess from pollutants, trash, and more.
I was talking with a senior citizen on yesterday about earthquakes and how the Earth is reacting to all of the changes we are giving it to deal with. I came to the conclusion that the Earth is doing nothing but trying to accommodate all of the bad components we are giving it. In everything that we give the Earth to survive on, it has been pretty understanding. However, sometimes it becomes even too much for the Earth to bear and it must cause a ruckus. How would we know to listen, if the Earth didn't give us warnings or signals?
As I watch the rain continue to saturate the grass, leaves on the trees, and mountains in the background, I am thankful because the Earth saw it best on this Sunday, in Los Angeles, CA, to clean up our mess and begin the journey once again to produce growth.

HealtheFolk Friday: How To Lose Belly Fat - 31 Day Fat Loss Cure
31 Day Fat Loss Cure Program will help you to lose at least 10lbs or more of stubborn belly fat. You will be surprised how he helps you to accomplish this goal, whether you are a guy or a girl, because he doesn't say go to the gym or eat whole grains, he gives you the secrets to genuinely put you on the right track and put you on a healthier path.
As we get older, our metabolism slows down and we don't burn off fat as quickly as we did as children. We are left with most of our fat deposits showing up in our waist. Some of us are paying lots of money to continue gym memberships that we don't follow through with because of our busy schedules. Just by watching the introductory video, I learned so much I didn't know about the human body and how to fix my faults.
Some topics covered in just the introductory video were:
- one secret to losing 10 - 50lbs
- supposed healthy foods
- little known exercises to boost your metabolism
- how his program works for anyone in any walk of life
- Real Testimonials and "Before and After" pictures
Personally, I am a Army Veteran and know how hard we trained to keep ourselves in the best of shape. This gentleman, is also a former Army soldier who found the secrets while still in the Army and will show you how he lost 19.5 lbs. of belly fat at the age of 38. He also prides himself on helping his personal training client, a 42 year old mom with two kids, lose her baby belly and 17 lbs.
I recommend the 31 Day Fat Loss Cure because it gives you a step-by-step way of reaching your belly fat and stomach loss goals, it's for guys and gals of any age, he is a living proof of what he's talking about in his program, and he has actual client proof to back up his program's successes. However, most of all the program is affordable and you don't have any recurring fees to pay. When you see the infomercials on television, which I know most of our senior citizens and others watch at home, there are always something else to buy, but this program comes all in one time.

National Geographic - St. Patrick's Day 2011: Facts, Myths, and Traditions
John Roach
On St. Patrick's Day—Thursday, March 17—millions of people will don green and celebrate the Irish with parades, good cheer, and perhaps a pint of beer.
But few St. Patrick's Day revelers have a clue about St. Patrick, the historical figure, according to the author of St. Patrick of Ireland: A Biography.
"The modern celebration of St. Patrick's Day really has almost nothing to do with the real man," said classics professor Philip Freeman of Luther College in Iowa. (Take an Ireland quiz.)
Who Was the Man Behind St. Patrick's Day?
For starters, the real St. Patrick wasn't even Irish. He was born in Britain around A.D. 390 to an aristocratic Christian family with a townhouse, a country villa, and plenty of slaves.
What's more, Patrick professed no interest in Christianity as a young boy, Freeman noted.
At 16, Patrick's world turned: He was kidnapped and sent overseas to tend sheep as a slave in the chilly, mountainous countryside of Ireland for seven years. (See Ireland pictures.)
"It was just horrible for him," Freeman said. "But he got a religious conversion while he was there and became a very deeply believing Christian."
St. Patrick's Disembodied Voices
According to folklore, a voice came to Patrick in his dreams....READ FULL ARTICLE HEREGo Back To My Site

Around the World St. Patrick's Day
Around the World St. Patrick's Day:
is very popular all around the world and here's a little inside scoop on what will take place in some countries on March 17th as a tradition!The United States of America
In every year since 1991, March has been proclaimed Irish-American Heritage Month by the US Congress or President due to the date of St. Patrick's Day. Today, Saint Patrick's Day is widely celebrated in America by Irish and non-Irish alike. It is one of the leading days for consumption of alcohol in the United States, and is typically one of the busiest days of the year for bars and restaurants. Many people, regardless of ethnic background, wear green clothing and items. Traditionally, those who are caught not wearing green are pinched affectionately.
In Argentina
In Argentina, and especially in Buenos Aires, all-night long parties are celebrated in designated streets, since the weather is comfortably warm in March. People dance and drink only beer throughout the night, until seven or eight in the morning, and although the tradition of mocking those who do not wear green does not exist, many people wear something green.In Canada
One of the longest-running Saint Patrick's Day parades in North America occurs each year in Montreal, the flag of which has a shamrock in one of its corners. The parades have been held in continuity since 1824.In Great Britain
In Great Britain, the Queen Mother used to present bowls of shamrock flown over from Ireland to members of the Irish Guards, a regiment in the British Army consisting primarily of soldiers from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The Irish Guards still wear shamrock on this day, flown in from Ireland.Horse racing at the Cheltenham Festival attracts large numbers of Irish people, both residents of Britain and many who travel from Ireland, and usually coincides with Saint Patrick's Day.
Birmingham holds the largest Saint Patrick's Day parade in Britain with a massive city centre parade over a two mile (3 km) route through the city centre. The organisers describe it as the third biggest parade in the world after Dublin and New York.
London, since 2002, has had an annual Saint Patrick's Day parade which takes place on weekends around the 17th, usually in Trafalgar Square. In 2008 the water in the Trafalgar Square fountains was dyed green.
Liverpool, a major port leading to the Irish Sea, has the highest proportion of residents of Irish ancestry of any English city.[citation needed] This has led to a long-standing celebration on St Patrick's Day in terms of music, cultural events and the parade.
Manchester hosts a two-week Irish festival in the weeks prior to St Patrick's Day. The festival includes an Irish Market based at the city's town hall which flies the Irish tricolour opposite the Union Flag, a large parade as well as a large number of cultural and learning events throughout the two-week period. .
The Scottish town of Coatbridge, where the majority of the town's population are of Irish descent, also has a St. Patrick's Day Festival which includes celebrations and parades in the town centre.
Glasgow began an annual Saint Patrick's Day parade and festival in 2007.
In Montserrat
The tiny island of Montserrat, known as "Emerald Island of the Caribbean" because of its founding by Irish refugees from Saint Kitts and Nevis, is the only place in the world apart from Ireland and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador where St Patrick's Day is a public holiday. The holiday commemorates a failed slave uprising that occurred on 17 March 1768.In South Korea
Seoul (Capital city of South Korea) has celebrated Saint Patrick's Day since 2001 with Irish Association of Korea. The place of parade and festival has been moved from Itaewon and Daehangno to Cheonggyecheon.In New Zealand
Saint Patrick's Day is widely celebrated in New Zealand - green items of clothing are traditionally worn and the streets are often filled with revellers drinking and making merry from early afternoon until late at night.The Irish made a large impact in New Zealand's social, political and education systems, owing to the large numbers that emigrated there during the 19th century and Saint Patrick's Day is seen as a day to celebrate individual links to Ireland and Irish heritage.
In Japan
Saint Patrick's Parades are now held in 9 locations across Japan. The first parade, in Tokyo, was organized by The Irish Network Japan (INJ) in 1992. Nowadays Parades and other events related to Saint Patrick's Day spread across almost the entire month of March.Thank you, Wikipedia!

EAT. SLEEP. THE OLD FOLKS KNOW BEST! Go Green Tote and $25 Grocery Gift Card Giveaway!
This giveaway was inspired by one of my senior clients who makes sure to take her reusable bag into the supermarket every time she shops. She buys her fruits and milk, cheese, meats, and anything she needs for the week and has the cashier pack it in her reusable bag. It's becoming more common that supermarkets are encouraging Going Green and from what I understand, plastic will not be available soon in supermarkets.

85% Off Vistaprint Thinking Green Postcards and Business Cards!
As we continue our Go Green in March campaign, I came across Vistaprint Go Green Postcards and Business Cards for 85% Off!
I love Vistaprint and use them for all of my stationary needs because you're practically getting a lot of things for Free and you just pay for shipping. I buy car magnet, my postcards for special holidays or celebrations and they have so many designs to choose from.If you are a senior citizen or a family member of one, you may be thinking of starting a business or getting the word out about something you are passionate about. Vistaprint is a great resource to have to get your marketing materials for a very reasonable price and in good quality. You will seriously save more money by using Vistaprint. I am a personal testimony to that!
So Enjoy!

Go Green in March!
Hello Readers,
I wanted to talk about how important it is for us to do our part to keep our Earth clean. I know that many of us will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day on March 17th and I thought that March was a great month to talk about Going Green with all the green love to share!
I found this very resourceful video that shares how we can take some very simple actions to protect our environment. No matter what age we are, we all live on the same planet and we must keep it safe from harm and protect each other.
I would love to hear what you are already doing or hope to do as we 'Go Green in March'!
