Virtually all recent medical research on aging points to the fact that the human animal, you and me included, has the potential to live up to 120 years of age.
That means 120 active, happy and productive years ... not years in a rocking chair, wheel chair or nursing home. That being the case, THE SECOND HALF of our lives does indeed BEGIN AT 60.... However, since most of us have spent the first part of our lives mistreating our God given equipment, this human body of ours; so we may not all make it to 120. But the good news is that most of us should be able to make it to 100 and well over. This book is dedicated at giving us the best possible chance at reaching as near as possible to our true life potential.
Let's re-emphasize, we are talking about healthy,
happy, active and productive years full
of the things we enjoy doing.
How often have you heard the question, 'If you had it to do over again, what would you change?' Well, if you are coming up on 50, theoretically, you do have it all to do over again. Just think what you should be able to do with those years, knowing all that you've learned in the first 50! Follow this program, and within a year you should be as fit as you can be, and headed for as bright and long a future as possible, may you live to 120!
Now, because of Bro, I no longer felt so alone.
For some of us, it takes a life-shattering event to create
the hunger for deeper and spiritual things,
which we see, in retrospect, as a fortunate event.
'Sacrifice. . .' It's a word used loosely. But, I have seen the true meaning of this word. This is the story of what they did. How small children defeated monsters you and I thought couldn't exist.
Never, ever forget what I'm about to tell you.
Never forget what they did.
Never tell it differently.
I am Aiden Kane, and this is the story of The Children . . .
In a post-apocalyptic world, where nobody is safe from the mutated beasts that roam the shadows, the ones who must fight the fiercest and sacrifice the most to insure the world's survival are the Children.
Malignant cancers crash across all the lines of goodness, fairness, faith, love, quality of life and ultimately life itself. Apollo's journey through malignant cancer, hand in paw, is the poignant story of a loving owner, dog and their battle to achieve quality of life for both of them. Apollo speaks through the eyes and emotions of his loving companion as she passionately describes her compelling drive and urgency to help them both, unconditionally. As it turns out, Apollo's creed of life becomes focused upon both his and her quality of life. With unspoken determination he becomes the teacher teaching that cancer is not about dying but learning to live the best life possible. Apollo teaches that the will to live is a powerful force. At the same time the dynamics of bonding and spiritual attachment become powerfully defined. The patient and the caretakers work feverishly to gain an understanding of the mechanisms of disease and the properties of healing: mentally and physically. Loud and clear, from compassionate touches to the pursuit of learning, the patient and his devoted owner experience a deepening and ever widening bond of love and compassion.
I haven't trusted polls since I read that 62%
of women had affairs during their lunch hour.
I've never met a woman in my life who would
give up lunch for sex.
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Myths inspire the realization of the
possibility of your own perfection,
the fullness of your strength
and the bringing of solar light into the world.
~Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
If you've ever been bullied,
then help us share:
"The POWER of ONE!"
After his parents lose everything - their jobs in the factory, their beautiful country home with the white picket fence, and their dreams, Bobby's family is forced to leave all their family and friends behind. They move into the city with high hopes of finding jobs and starting over.
But for Bobby, the struggle is about acceptance, not only from his new friends, but of his new circumstances. He must reach inside himself to find the inner strength necessary to make new friends, live in poverty and stand up to the big, red-haired bully.
"Wrong is wrong, no matter how many people do it. We must stand up for what is right. It only takes one person to speak out for what is right - the power of one! ~Bobby

Bobby's Story

Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
