Over 16,531,399 people are on fubar.
What are you waiting for?
The full meaning, as I was always taught. Community Service has always been a staple throughout my life. Church every sunday, Chior practice after school most days, 4H club activities. Whether it is volunteering for A BBQ for a local memenber to earn money for burial or cremation. It cost money, my mother passed away in early May, RIP, chose to be creamated. Smart choice, Now i can lay her remains with her parents down in Long Beach, Ca. c$895 dollars. So to really understand the term Pay it forward this information is more powerful, because of the knowledge content of what I need all of you to know. Is really necessary to have a full blown funeral anymore? not for me thanks, Save your life insurance money for what you want to do with hit. cremation is way better, less expensive. etc etc etc. who ever spends more than 20,000.00 for a burial is not practical.
People are often unreasonable irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.
In the final Analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
-Mother Teresa
Is it Me, or is it Fubar? So many people going so many different directions. Coming and going, Has life realy gone this virtual that nothing seems real when people have their obsession for socialization online rather than real Life. I miss Real life, Fubar I dont. I have met alot of great friends in here, but for the past few months I have been coming to terms with my own inner realization that what i really want in my life is not on any internet social networking site. The idea of having thousands of people i dont know on my friends list is just overkill, why would you want a online connection with thousands of people that you will probably never know, and probably never meet. I Understand if you are a celebrity of other Public figure, but i find it to be so irrevelant for anyone else. Timing is everything and everything happens in its own time. I appreciate the people that appreciate me for it is them that gives me the true meaning of friendship. I love you all my friends... Have a beautiful day.

A Woman's heart is in her home.
from the very 1st day she crosses that threshold through the Front Door.
Her artistic sense of self wakes up to creating a sanctuary for her family.
Everything has to be just right in colors, from the paint down to the blinds, chair rail, wall paper, stencil art. etc etc etc...
It becomes her expression of Love for her family who she holds closest to her heart.
It is her sole investment she has created in her heart that is priceless to anything in the world.
A woman's heart is shattered when through no fault of her own that life closes one chapter of her book and moves onto a new one closing the door for the final time in her home.
She leaves a piece of her heart with the house that will forever be there for other women to continue the trend.
She worries for her children, who are dependent on her strength to keep the family safe.
She doesn't worry about the emotional failure she feels from the love lost of a companion for the entire family even though it was a very big pill to swallow.
Or that Mother's day goes buy virtually unnoticed for years for the love she shows for her children. For it is them who make her heart complete and the only family she has.
Not to mention the Birthday parties every year that she used to give her children have been heavily downgraded from the big planned productions they used to have when they were younger.
A woman's heart adapts to the changes, not because she wanted too, but because she had too change her way of thinking and her lifestyle to accompany the changes she made in her family's lives.
Vacations even get a life overhaul, even if it is only for a day or two at a localalty closer to home.
Family is my sanctuary, from the investments i have made spending with my children. They are a extenion of myself and the goals and dreams they have has been nourished by me and surpassed anything i have accomplished throughout my childhood with my own parents.
No one can ever take that away from me. the power is too strong from the love.
So here I am almost 9 years after closing my last chapter in my life, im getting ready to close another with my oldest child graduating from High School.
She has spread her wings as a fledgling and learning to fly and open her own chapter on life as a adult.
the Opportunities that has opened up before her are totally amazing in their own right. It is those Opportunities that show her the investments she has made in herself is paying off and will continue to do so . Life is great and what you make it.
God does not give you anything you can't handle, just makes you a stronger, wiser person from the lessons that were very hard lessons to learn from. For it is everything that you have had to experience to get where you are today.
When it comes to a woman's heart if it leads to another companion along the road then she will know then that her investment for staying true to herself and family. There is room for Love once again, She welcomes it into her heart creating a Sanctuary that will be extroadinary and unique. For it is the joy,hope, faith, trust, love she receives that leaves her feeling completely loved the way she has always imagined.
I wish that every one of your days will dawn with a sense of hope streaming in with the sunlight, a sense of strength woven into the winds, and as many things to be thankful for as there are stars in the evening sky.
I hope that the distance between where you are and where you want to be grows shorter every day. I'll never stop wishing that your journey through this world will be touched by kindness, inspired by wisdom, graced with understanding, and kept safe from all harm. I hope you have a charmed existence, and that your heart will always be an open window to a joy so lasting and deep.
And I pray that you will always have an angel watching over you, there to trace on your wonderful face a smile that you can keep.

Hello All, Time for me to get the creative juices in my mind flowing again so here i am writing about friendship choices, mainly tough decisions had to be made clearly based on circumstances beyond control, people change, or probably a good percentage of the problem is that when you meet a friend face to face from the internet you take a leap of faith in that friendship.
I don't know how many other people have had to make a decision to keep a good friend over a bad friend. Regardless of the decision its heartbreaking non the less to say goodbye and have the closure to place it where it belongs. I have seen and experienced alot of adverse things in my lifetime, but what matters the most is the lessons you learned from them to make you a stronger better person for everyone else you meet that crosses your path.
I hope that each and everyone of you learn something new everyday and when it comes to true friendship, embrace it and respect it for what you feel is in your own heart to give.I love connecting with people who connect with me on a friendship level, I will bend over backwards for my true friends, as they would do the same for me. I do love you all unconditionally. Even though one friendship is gone there are way more friendships out there that are waiting for your embrace.
Intimidation (also called cowing) is intentional behavior "which would cause a person of ordinary sensibilities" fear of injury or harm. It's not necessary to prove that the behavior was so violent as to cause terror or that the victim was actually frightened.[1] "The calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to attain goals political, religious, or ideological in nature...through intimidation, coercion, or instilling fear" can be defined as terrorism.[2]
Threatening behaviours are supposed to be a maladaptive outgrowth of normal competitive urge for interrelational dominance generally seen in animals.
Like all behavioral traits it exists in greater or lesser manifestation in each individual person over time, but may be a more significant "compensatory behavior" for some as opposed to others. Behavioral theorists often see threatening behaviours as a consequence of being threatened by others, including parents, authority figures, playmates and siblings. “Use of force is justified when a person reasonably believes that it is necessary for the defense of oneself or another against the immediate use of unlawful force.”[3]
Intimidation may be employed consciously or unconsciously, and a percentage of people who employ it consciously may do so as the result of selfishly rationalized notions of its appropriation, utility or self-empowerment. Intimidation related to prejudice and discrimination may include conduct "which annoys, threatens, intimidates, alarms, or puts a person in fear of their safety...because of a belief or perception regarding such person's race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct."[4]
Intimidation may be manifested in such manner as physical contacts, glowering countenance, emotional manipulation, verbal abuse, making someone feel lower than you, purposeful embarrassment and/or actual physical assault. “Behavior may include, but is not limited to, epithets, derogatory comments or slurs and lewd propositions, assault, impeding or blocking movement, offensive touching or any physical interference with normal work or movement, and visual insults, such as derogatory posters or cartoons.”[5]
Criminal threatening is the crime of intentionally or knowingly putting another person in fear of imminent bodily injury. “Threat of harm generally involves a perception of injury...physical or mental damage...act or instance of injury, or a material and tangible detriment or loss to a person.”[6] “A terroristic threat is a crime generally involving a threat to commit violence communicated with the intent to terrorize another.”[7]
There is no legal definition in English law as to what behaviour constitutes "Intimidation", so it is up to the courts to decide on a case by case basis. However, if somebody threatens violence against somebody, then this may be a criminal offence.
In most U.S. jurisdictions, the crime remains a misdemeanor unless a deadly weapon is involved or actual violence is committed, in which case it is usually considered a felony.
Criminal threatening can be the result of verbal threats of violence, physical conduct (such as hand gestures or raised fists), actual physical contact, or even simply the placing of a sign[8], an object or graffiti on the property of another person with the purpose of coercing or terrorizing.
Criminal threatening is also defined by arson, vandalism, the delivery of noxious biological or chemical substances (or any substance that appears to be a toxic substance), or any other crime against the property of another person with the purpose of coercing or terrorizing any person in reckless disregard for causing fear, terror or inconvenience. Coercion is the use of “pressure, threats, or intimidation” [9] to compel or “force somebody to do something” or “make something to happen.”[10]
"Terrorizing" generally means to cause alarm, fright, or dread in another person or inducing apprehension of violence from a hostile or threatening event, person or object. “It is not requisite, in order to constitute this crime, that personal violence should be committed.” [11]

Why Horses?
Why Horses? Those who are familiar with horses recognize and understand the power of horses to influence people in incredibly powerful ways. Developing relationships, training, horsemanship instruction, and caring for the horses naturally affects the people involved in a positive manner. The benefits of work ethic, responsibility, assertiveness, communication, and healthy relationships has long been recognized. Horses naturally provide these benefits. The use of horses is growing and gaining popularity with the rise of new approaches in working with the horses, including the field of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. We are often asked, "Why horses? Why not other animals?" Horses are large and powerful, which creates a natural opportunity for some to overcome fear and develop confidence. The size and power of the horse are naturally intimidating to many people. Accomplishing a task involving the horse, in spite of those fears, creates confidence and provides for wonderful metaphors when dealing with other intimidating and challenging situations in life. Horses are very much like humans in that they are social animals. They have defined roles within their herds. They would rather be with their peers. They have distinct personalities, attitudes, and moods. An approach that seems to work with one horse, does not necessarily work with another. At times, they seem stubborn and defiant. They like to have fun. In other words, horses provide vast opportunities for metaphorical learning. Using metaphors, in discussion or activity, is an effective technique when working with even the most challenging individuals or groups. Horses require work, whether in caring for them or working with them. In an era when immediate gratification and the "easy way" are the norm, horses require people to be engaged in physical and mental work to be successful, a valuable characteristic in all aspects of life. Most importantly, horses have the ability to mirror exactly what human body language is telling them. Many people will complain, "The horse is stubborn. The horse doesn’t like me," etc. But the lesson to be learned is that if they change themselves, the horses respond differently. Horses are honest, which makes them especially powerful messengers. |
