Who.....are......you??

                                                 Caterpillar: Who... are... you?
                                               Alice: I'm afraid I can't explain myself.
                                                    ~ 1951 Alice In Wonderland


                                                             So who are you??           
                               "You" can not be explained in one word or in any words.
 "You" are made up of memories, sounds, colors, smells, goals, dreams, achievements, failures, and feelings.
    I don't know who you are, and no one will ever know who you truly and deeply are, except God.
                                            But I know who I am and that's all that matters.
                                You should never change yourself for anyone or anything.
                                 Too many times people change who they are for someone.
          
 Have you ever made an assumption about someone, then when you got to know them found out that you were totally wrong.
                                            It because you don't know who they are.
                      The outside of someone is so radically different from the inside of them.

                                  Isn't it amazing how we are all different and yet  are all we people.

                                    You are not just a human, a boy, or girl you are unique.


So, who are you?

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”   ― James Baldwin

                                  Do you share the same mind set with you parents?
                                  This is a topic my Mom and I have talked about often.

You might not think about it but, until a certain age, every thing you say or think has something to do with your parents. You might think a certain  way because your parents think that way or you might think the opposite just because of your parents. Your parents have a big part in what you say, what you think, what you like, and how you act. In most cases it's not a bad thing, but today I am talking about the few cases that are not good.

Have you ever heard a 5 or 6 year old say something negative about politics or race? You know the child is just repeating what they hear at home. Have you ever seen a younger child with a shirt on that has something to do with "their" political party? This is just another example of how our parents can mold our minds.

Not all mind molding is bad, for the most part it is good and helps us learn, use manners, and things like that. My Mom (for example) is wonderful and has made me a good person and has made me see the beauty in things, be kind to people, and try to help others when I can. She has also let me think what I want to and Be myself.

I live in the south, and here there are a lot of little children who say things that they hear their parents say and a lot of the time things they say have something to do with politics or race. Some of the time these things can be hateful or hurtful.

All I am saying is be careful what you say around your kids, because they will say what you say.

So, to sum up the post, you are who you are because of your parents, which is not a bad thing because  I like to be like my Mom.

Be the YOU you are!

We Allow That???

                                    We Allow That???

                                "There is no such thing as an ugly woman".  ~Vincent Van Gogh
                                        Women are always beautiful.  ~Ville Valo

                                                         (in America)
                                                 First Female doctor : Elizabeth Blackwell 1849

                                                 First Female judge: Esther Morris 1870 

                                                  First Female police officer : Alice Stebbins 1910

                                                 Women get the right to vote : 1920

                                                 First Woman in air: Amelia Earhart 1935

                                                 First Woman in space: Sally Ride 1983

Now that might sound amazing to you and you might be saying "Wow look how far we have come!!", Ok but I listed only good things, Not the bad things.

I didn't list;  The first Female to become anorexic, The first female to be degraded, The first female to make less money just because she is a female, Now I could go on listing but I think you get the point.

Now in our world every day young girls are taught to be thin, look good, always eat little bits of food, and always wear a small size.

                                                                That leads to This:

And this:

 Did you know that 90% of girls think they are fat or over weight? 

                                America excepts that. We think it's ok. Well it's not ok, not at all.

                                                             Models in the 1920s:

                                                         Models today:

Every where girls turn they see girls like that telling them to look like they do.

                                                              

                                                                      Stop this today.

               Yes, it's hard to stop a train, (and we all know that this is) But it's not impossible.

Go look up "anorexic tips" you will be amazed at what you find.

Stop Telling girls that this is ok!

Man's Best Friend??

Man's Best Friend???

                    Dogs, they love us, save us, help us, and they would die for us. 

 So if dogs really are "Man's best friend" then why are over 42,720 dogs abused each year?

I love and own an amazing yellow lab. I love all animals, so much that I want to be an animal rehabilitator. 

The thing is, is that 150-200 people go to jail each year for animal abuse. That's not even one hundredth of all animal abusers. 

So wait, a man can be sent to prison for child abuse, but can't even be sent to jail for animal abuse????

                      Each day a dog gets hit, kicked, killed and no one does ANYTHING! 

Every day dogs think it's their fault, they think they have done something wrong, they are the bad guys.

Not only are dogs abused, they are abandoned. 

                           

                                       Around 4 million dogs are abandoned each year.

                        This often does not mean physical abuse, but it does mean abuse.

Dogs, love their owners, they love to please them. If we do this to animals, what does this mean for humans? 

                                    How can someone who does this to an animal (or worse)

                                                             Sleep at night????

              You can help by reporting animal abuse and help rescue abused dogs.

STOP ANIMAL ABUSE!!!

Giant Panda!

Researchers just found out that Giant Panda blood may hold the secret to curing illnesses! 

A scientist named Xiuwen Yan found out that the D.N.A of a Giant Panda has "cathelicidin-AM" in it. This compound kills bacteria in less than AN HOUR!!! 
In case you didn't know most well known bacteria killing antibiotics take 6 hours.

"How can this help?" you ask, here is how.

Well the compound is found in a gene. Which means that scientist can make a replica of the gene, or at least try . But this will be very hard because scientist have tried to recreate genes before but, with modern technology they should be able to. 

But wait, still There's more good news!

Giant Pandas are endangered there's only 1,600 left. Now that they are needed they might be saved from extinction!!

The scientist will not have to treat the pandas like lab rats because they can decode the pandas gene and produce a small molecule known as: Pepide. 

As to why the Giant Panda has this compound in their blood, Scientist suspects its to boost this big animals immune system. 

At any rate the Pandas might be saved from extinction and we might have new amazing antibiotic, so I call it a win-win. 

Save Pandas!
