Prayers for Rissa

I have a special prayer request for a dear friend of mine who was told a few hours ago that she has Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia. This post is being written at 2:30 pm EST on December 29, 2010.  
 
I strongly believe in the power of saying a prayer. I know God listens to each prayer that is spoken. I also believe in strength of numbers, if we all pray with the same words, same healing etc. I believe this emphasizes the impact of the healing.
Dear Lord,
Please wrap our friend in your loving arms and give her abundant strength, energy, healing, and wisdom. Heal her completely I pray.
Amen
 
For those of you like me who are affiliated with the earth based religions. Please select a round white candle carve the name Rissa in it. Say a prayer for strength and healing as you light it. Allow it to remain burning, until it goes out by itself. Repeat as many times as you can as our beautiful friend is healing.
 
It is very important that you do not utter the words sickness or the diagnosis in your prayers as it puts negative energy in the universe which is then associated with her. It really defeats the purpose of a healing.
 
I do realize that many of you who maybe reading this do know our good friend Rissa. Rissa is the type of woman who goes out of her way to help people and creates laughter wherever she can. She is mommy to a special little guy and is a loving wife to her husband. Rissa loves to play practical jokes on him. She is the friend everyone wishes they had.
She has much to teach this world, and so much love to give. Her work here is not done by a long shot.
Love ya Rissa, and thanks for all you have done for me.

Cuz Heaven Has No Phone

Because Heaven has no phone, mailbox, or revolving door, it’s hard to tell you how much I miss you and love you. I am sure you know, because it seems on the days when I am feeling the worst I feel you around me.


 When I was worried about the some stuff a few weeks after you went to heaven you appeared in my dream one night and told me it would be fine. You knew it would work out, and it did. Everything is fine, that crisis has passed.  Please visit me at any time like that, it made me feel so good inside, and I did not miss you so much for a few hours.


I do miss you so much. I know I am not alone in wishing there was a revolving door from Heaven. I’d love to come visit, but I am needed here for a while longer.


When I had my first book signing, I knew you were smiling down from heaven. You were most likely telling the angels that’s my ‘Jo’. I know you are proud of me as you are of my siblings. You were very much there in spirit, I felt you. Mom presented me with your special personalized pens, to do sign the books. That made me cry, but you know that don’t you.

I wish I could have heard your voice when I seen that third book on Amazon. I know you are proud of me, but just to hear your voice would have made it better. When I spotted it on Barnes and Nobles, I wanted to call you and say hey dad, guess what. I could not, so I just wiped away the tears.


As Christmas quickly approaches, I find myself so close to tears all the time. I just want to bury myself in work so I can keep my brain beyond busy. I really wish heaven had a phone, so I could just call and talk as we used too. I never told you how much those calls meant to me, but I think you knew.


I miss ya dad and love you so much. Take care of Kylie. Tell her grandma loves her so much. You two behave up there and we’ll see each other some day. Hugs to both of you, and have yourselves a Merry Christmas up there in Heaven.


Love, Amy Jo

The power of words

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

Sometimes changing a word or two gives the sentences a completely different feeling. Take these four examples; they all create different pictures within your mind.

I am a the overweight woman who visits your dreams

I am a the fat woman who haunts your dreams

I am the obese woman who terrorizes your dreams

I am the sexy woman who manifests your dreams

Redefining my goals

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

 Napoleon Hill once penned this quote “When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound; rebuild those plans and set sail once more toward your coveted goal."

 

Recently I am seeing the realization of a goal I wanted for so long. This was a goal that popped in my head as a teenager yet it took almost thirty years to really came about. As a teenager, I used to fill notebooks with stories and even submitted a few to various places.   Then my kids began arriving, life was happening and my dream was pushed back and forgotten.

This morning I am looking back over the past few months and taking stock of how far I have come professionally and it blows my mind. I accomplished that dream I had back so many years ago and damn that makes me feel good. I did not give up on the dream ever; I just had to redefine it. I finally was recognized for my short stories and well they are moving! The Replacement,   aka Stella was earmarked for publication back in July 2010 and in mid September 2010, it was published. I will never forget the day I went to Amazon, typed in my name, and up popped the book.

Here it is just two weeks after that book came out and I have written two more stories, which will be published in an upcoming book at the end of October 2010. I am like man it took me all these years to realize the goal and here I am soaring now. I am currently working on a few short stories for the Christmas book, which will be released in November 2010. With the help of the editors, I am seeing my books pop!

All of this is proof positive that I should not give up; all I needed to do was to redefine my goals. Yeah the novels remain on my pc and they will most likely become novellas I am not  experienced as a writer to create a novel, the short stories  are a stepping stone to that. Novels are a huge undertaking that require tons of work and frankly, I do not have the time to do them.

 

I do however have enough short stories to almost fill a book of my own, so that will be my first solo project. In the mean time, I’ll keep doing as I am, working hard to achieve my dreams and make them a reality.

Speical Thanks from a Published Author

I have achieved my dream of having a story published in a book. A special thanks to all my family and friends who have stood by me, and did not think my dream was silly.


I have a few thousand articles online, a handful of articles were published in magazines, and even some articles published in newspapers but nothing compares to being in a ‘real book’ with up and coming authors’! 


The Consequences book is currently available online at this page.   It will soon be available on Amazon in the print format, as well as e-book and Kindle format. Within 6-8 weeks, you can go into a library, Barnes and Noble or other big bookstore to locate it. 


For local people I will be signing the book but right now, I am looking for a place to do a book signing. I have contacted a local business owner and asked permission. The book signing will be held in late October or early November just in time for your holiday shopping.


Special Thanks to my mom and dad, Myrtle and Elliott for giving me life, and teaching me that I could do anything, I set out to do. Amber, Alex, and Timmy special thanks to you three as well, I love ya and thanks for letting me be me. Christel Synder, my best friend in the world, you give me confidence to stand on my own two feet and for that I thank you.


Angel, Laurie, Cindy, and Thor I am beyond ecstatic to be in this book with you guys! You have no clue how awesome you made this small town girl feel I am walking on top of the world.

Big News for me, Talk Radio, Consequences and a job

Jan 20 will mark the debut on a new show on blog talk radio, and it’s geared towards freelance writers worldwide. My friends Rose, Suzanne and I will be hosting the show. As the date gets closer, more details will be reveled. This is a recent development and we found out only September 13, so we are ironing out the details.

 

A short story of mine will be in a book called ‘Consequences’ and the proof has been shipped as of September 13! The proof I am told is the first copy of the book published and it is printed to make sure it appears correctly. Once the editor has accepted the proof, it will be available for sale on Amazon. I am stoked!

 

On September 11, I officially began a part time job, in the home health industry. All weekend long, I was doing my training three times a day. I was exhausted, as I have not lifted like that in awhile. Originally, I had only wanted a few hours a day, but when I found out my friend Peggy was working so many hours I decided to alternate weekends with her to give her a break. That is what friends do for each other, and if I were in that position, I would want it done for me.  

 

How was your week?

People I Slept with Movie Review

I watched the movie 'The People I've slept with' and enjoyed it. The plot of the movie is a young woman who enjoys sex goes on a sex binge and sleeping with many guys.

The movie premiered at selected theaters around the United States on August 13, 2010. It's billed as a comedy but I think it could be a coming of age, drama movie all wrapped up in one package. 



Main Plot for the People I Slept With

The main character Angela Yang, played by Karin Anna Cheung has a craving for all sorts of unprotected sex. Her gay friend Gabriel tells her to go satisfy her need, and to engage in all the sex she can. The men she chooses leave the audience wondering what she thought.



The young woman is openly enjoying her lifestyle for a few months until realty sets in. As fate would have it. Angela does Gabriel on a whim, and is a bit hurt when that encounter does not change him from being gay to being straight. She becomes pregnant and must weed through her series of one nightstand to figure out who the father is.



That task is easier than one might guess as she has created a bunch of photographs of her lovers on her cell phone; those photographs help her to narrow down the paternity.



These photographs are all labeled with one or two words about the personality of the men. This is how she keeps them separated, such as Mr. Hottie, who she wants to be the daddy, the geek etc. She also keeps a list of sizes, personalities that are funny.



Presumably, she keeps track of the sizes so she does not return to a man who does not meet her standards. After all what woman wants a man like that we all want her stalker who is hung like a horse, minus the stalker part.



She does return to visit the men after discovering she is pregnant to get some samples for a DNA test. She takes cups the have drank from, and even a piece of hair off a lover who had died. She does everything she can to figure out who the daddy is, without letting the guys know how many she has been with.


Sex Scenes in the People I Slept With

The sex scenes in this unrated movie are frequent, but you see the comedy rather than actual penetration. It's simply not porn but a funny adult movie. In one particularity, funny scene where she is having sex and she is heard saying who's your momma. In yet another sex scene, she appears as if she wishes the guy would just finish up already.



She picks up her lovers in all sorts of places and they engage in sex everywhere one can imagine. In the movie, she experiences sex in some places that most people would never want to explore such as the bathroom stall.



The five-second guy is nicknamed aptly, and that sex scene is the one that almost wasn't! This film makes all of us women who have experienced a five-second man feel better. It brings laughter to us. 



Ending of the People I slept with

On discovering the positive pregnancy test, Angela talks with her married sister and Gabriel. Her sister says to find the daddy and get married, while Gabriel tells her to have an abortion.



Angela decides to have her baby and sets out to find the father of her baby daughter. She wants to show her daughter how she came to be on this earth. Without giving away who the dad is, I am going to end the review here. I do recommend this movie to everyone though who enjoys a good laugh. I also recommend this for teenagers who engage in unprotected sex, as the film shows it might be fun but karma will get you in the end. 



The official the People I slept with trailer, is listed below if you would like a good laugh.

When the local Lowe’s opened down the street from me, I was able to feed my DIY addiction in a huge way. I was overwhelmed with the place at first because it was huge. I went in there for new bathroom faucets to replace ones that had worn out.

An accommodating salesman came over to help, and showed me where I could find the Gerber faucets. I had been looking for them locally and online for a while but could not find them, and in Lowe’s I was shown a variety of them. He even told me how to install them, and following his directions, it was easy.


That was almost four years ago and since that time; the kids and I have done many projects that turned out great. We plan on creating a garden path, install tile in the kitchen, and many more things. With the low prices and knowledgeable staff there, it is the only hardware store we go to.


I am a single mom who grew up learning o do repairs around the house. I want my kids also to do this, so they help me and in a few years when they leave the nest, they will be prepared for their own DIY projects.

What the world needs is music!

After years of writing on the 'net' I finally found a place to call home. Its a place where I can sit back relax, listen to great music,  and make new friends. Best of all its paid. Yeah I get paid to listen to music.. how cool is that?

Technically I am a vertical manager of the music section at Mahalo.com  and its my 'job' to make sure the music pages are squared away. Well the ones in my section anyhow!  I create a variety of music tasks for the writers to write, after they are written they submit the tasks and if its accepted they get paid. They also make money on the page views those pages generate.

Although I do many things here on the site, one of my favorite things to do is run a page through quality control. That means I  turn the task into a live web page and get to listen to the music on that page. Yeah and I am paid to do that! Paid to listen to music and make sure its of good quality.


Anyways if you enjoy music of any type, and are a member of mahalo send me a list of your favorite music things.  I will create tasks on solo artists, bands, orchestras, choirs, albums, songs, videos and even festivals. Well that's if those topics are not already a part of the growing music section here. 

In the mean time check out this link

Happy Mother's day

To Moms everywhere Happy Mother’s Day. This is a day when having a large number of children, as the Duggar family would be lots of fun. Imagine the presents she received today.

I am the proud mom of three kids. Today I got a very nice card from the three of them along with a rose and an outfit from Amber. Alex got me some flowers and Timmy got me a nice vase, which I put the rose in.

A Photo of my Grandkids

There comes a time in life where just about every woman in the world becomes a grand mom. I became a grand mom nearly 8 years ago, to an angel who watches over the three little ones in this picture.  Six years ago, lexis joined our family, these days she is enjoying kindergarten and picking on her little brother. John joined the family 2 and half years ago and he is a little clown. Baby Adrienne joined our little family in November of 2009 and is full of smiles.  

I am lucky that these three bright little people live a mile away, so they are close enough to see almost everyday. In fact, I do see them often, as I am the primary sitter when my daughter and my soon to be son-in-law are working. Now colleagues will see why I cram all my work into a few days a week, as it’s almost impossible to work online when these adorable kids are in my house.  

John and Lexie are enjoying a back porch picnic of sandwiches and spaghetti rings. It’s nice to see my daughter carrying on that tradition with my grand kids. I know my daughter and her brothers enjoyed those back porch picnics a lot.

I so miss those days of hanging with my kids, as they are grown up now.  My youngest child Timmy is a junior in high school and is looking at colleges these days. My middle child Alex is working fun time. Amber well she is a busy mom as you can see in the photograph, she also works a lot and is planning a wedding that will happen in about 6 weeks from now. Me, well I am proud to say I have raised these kids solo for 10 years now, and I am proud of who they turned out to be.


Now back to work here! Enjoy the night all.

Missing Child Karmie McBride

Please help us as we search for my niece Karmie McBride age 16 who lives in the Athens Pennsylvania area. Karmie is five foot six inches tall with medium blonde hair.  Karmie will be 17 in early May. She is considered to be a Missing person at this time.

She was last seen on April 20, 2010 at the Valley Playland Park in Athens, where she was to meet friends and go home with one of them afterwards. If you have seen Karmie since Tuesday please let us know. My facebook URL is below, send me a message.

Karmie is the aunt to 4 little kids who miss her horribly, as do her two sisters and her parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. The list goes on, as this young girl is well loved but classmates and her friends.
