Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To laugh often and much,

to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children,

to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends,

to appreciate beauty,

to find the best in others,

to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Vitamins

We usually think of the word vitamin in conjunction with good
health. They’re nutrients you body needs to function properly. But
some vitamins are more beneficial than others and work harder in
promoting good health.

Your heart is one of the most important organs in your body. You
want it to stay strong – especially considering that heart disease
is the number one killer in the United States. There are vitamins
that can specifically promote heart health.

Vitamin B6 – Vitamin B6 is a vitamin that your body needs in order
to produce hemoglobin, which is what carries the oxygen throughout
the blood to reach your body’s organs efficiently. Vitamin B6 can
help maintain a normal range of blood sugar levels, too.

Foods that are rich in Vitamin B6 are chicken breasts, oatmeal,
pork loin, ready to eat cereals and roast beef. Some vegetable
choices are Avocados, soybeans, lima beans and Garbanzo beans.
Bananas are another choice for vitamin B6 consumption.

Vitamin B12 – Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of the red
blood cells and the maintenance of the nervous system. Low vitamin
B12 levels can result in anemia and neuropathy. Neuropathy is the
degeneration of the nerve fibers, which can cause various forms of
nerve damage.

Vitamin B12 is necessary for proper blood flow and making sure each
organ (including the heart) receives what it needs. The heart can’t
pump blood efficiently without red blood cell production. Foods
rich in vitamin B12 are meat, dairy products and eggs. Lesser-known
items are soy products, seaweed and algae products.

Vitamin E – Vitamin E is a vitamin that protects your body’s cells
from free radicals, which is what contributes to certain types of
cancer. It’s also good for helping lower cholesterol so that blood
can flow freely to and from your heart.

Foods that are rich in vitamin E are almonds, sunflower nuts,
sunflower seeds, hazelnuts and peanut butter. Vegetables that are
high in vitamin E are spinach and broccoli. Fruit choices would be
kiwi and mango.

Recommended intake of vitamin E for both men and women is 15 mg. a
day. This is what’s needed for the development of a healthy heart.
Children should consume about 7mg. daily for 4 year olds and up and
6mg. for the toddlers that are 1-3 years old.

Eating a healthy diet and exercising can promote a healthier heart.
Sometimes, they aren’t quite enough to get your heart going.
Vitamins can help kick start it so that it can function longer and
you can live a longer healthier life.

Teachings on Love

“Through my love for you, I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, the whole of humanity, and all beings. By living with you, I want to learn to love everyone and all species. If I succeed in loving you, I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth… This is the real message of love.”

influences: Zen Buddhism, Maman S. Mahayana

Thích Nhất Hạnh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist who now lives in southwest France where he was in exile for many years.

Born Nguyễn Xuân Bảo, Thích Nhất Hạnh joined a Zen (Vietnamese: Thiền) monastery at the age of 16, and studied Buddhism as a novitiate. Upon his ordination as a monk in 1949, he assumed the Dharma name Thích Nhất Hạnh. Thích is an honorary family name used by all Vietnamese monks and nuns, meaning that they are part of the Shakya (Shakyamuni Buddha) clan.

He is often considered the most influential living figure in the lineage of Lâm Tế (Vietnamese Rinzai) Thiền, and perhaps also in Zen Buddhism as a whole.

His best-selling books include Happiness and Being Peace.

Save Nicole

Ela –

This is just incredible. Thank you.

So far 25,000 of you have signed the petition asking Barry O’Farrell to fix the problem that has left me waiting six months for urgent stomach cancer surgery — and has left many others in the same position.

The Sydney Morning Herald have just published a story about what’s happening — including the huge amount of support coming in for the campaign. You can read the article online by clicking here — can you then share it with friends and family to help keep spreading the word?

Thanks again for all you’re doing.

It means so much to me and all our family.

Nicole.

When God had made the earth and sky,
The flowers and the trees.

IMG_0158
He then made all the animals,
The fish, the birds and bees.

image01822
And when at last He’d finished,
Not one was quite the same.
He said, “I’ll walk this world of mine,
And give each one a name.”
And so He traveled far and wide

DSCN0085
And everywhere He went,
A little creature followed Him
Until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
And in the sky and sea,

DSCN0121
The little creature said, “Dear Lord,
There’s not one left for me.”
Kindly the Father said to him,
“I’ve left you to the end.
I’ve turned my own name back to front
And called you dog, my friend.”
