What the World Needs Now (Is Love)

Would you agree that the worlds needs more love? Can you think of a moment that you saw Love in action? Do you know the difference between love and hate?

Strong Action

***Good News***

1. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5^th vs. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, Vs. 6^th Loves does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, Vs. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

Now think about it. Are we seeing enough love throughout the world? Could the world give more love? Think about the homeless. Think about the wars. What abut the war between Russia and the Ukraine?

2. Pure Love

What is pure love? Is pure love about loving others just as much or more than you love yourself? What do you believe Pure Love to be? When I married, I requested the song “Pure Love” by Dottie Peoples to be played as guests arrived. It was a small wedding, but there is something about this song. Dottie talks about loving others like you love yourself. I am the first to confess that I am guilty of not always having pure love. Do you oft times think of yourself first rather than someone else? Do you sometimes say if I give this then I will not have enough for myself?

I recall going with my daughter to pick up her children from school one day. As my grandchildren got off the bus, there were only 2 of them instead of 3. My daughter asked my grandchildren where their brother was. This is their reply, “ I don’t know.” Their action showed they were not their brother’s keeper. My daughter frantically ran in front of the bus not in back of but in front of in an attempt to stop the bus driver after she drove off. When the bus drive stopped my daughter discovered my grandson had fallen asleep on the bus. We were thankful that he was okay. Today my 3 grandchildren are more like triplet siblings rather than older brother and twins; and they are very close and protective of each other.

I have often spoke about this in the past. When my 4-year-old granddaughter wanted to practice tying her tennis shoes, she asked her twin brother could she practice on him. He replied, “No.” She sucker punched him to my surprise.

I scolded her and told her to apologize. Not knowing what his response would be he just grabbed her and hugged her and told her, “That is okay, I love you.” I was so amazed, surprised, and happy at the same time.

3. Genesis 4:9

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know, “He replied, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Have you found yourself saying the same thing or possibly heard another say this?

4. Church Body

Do you recall the Pandemic? When it occurred there were those attempting to continue Church services and they were dying. Thank goodness for the internet we were able to have church online. There was great emphasis that the church is in us not in a building. My pastor always emphasizes that we are the body of the church. we all have a function, and when one hurts we all hurt. Pastor has used the analogy that if your arm or leg is hurting you don’t just cut it off you attempt to save it.

5. Acts of Random Kindness

Did you know that according to randomactsofkindness.org. It started more than 40 years ago.  In 1982 an activist Anne Herbert published the first known account of “Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Acts of Senseless Beauty. This act of kindnessmovement has spread throughout this world in various and different ways. There are so many random acts that I could not name them all. Random acts might include, giving someone free coffee, free dinner, a new car, smiling at a stranger, giving positive comments, and much more. The list could go on and on. How many ways of random acts of kindness can you think of?

6. 4 Types of Love

Did you know that there are 4 types of Love? There is Eros: erotic or sexual or passionate love, which isn’t always good for you, and it is addictive. There is Philia; Love of Friends and equals. Storge: Love of Parents for Children. Agape: Love of Mankind. This kind of love is love without any self benefits and love that is given whether or not it’s returned. These types of love are according to Healthcare.utah.edu. At some time during your life you may have experience one or all of the types of love described above. Do you remember what it felt like when you recalled it?

7. Love Is a Verb

Love is an action word. Why is action important in love? Would you agree that love is a verb? According to mind.body.align.com love is an action-word.   Love must be demonstrated; it must be acted out and acted upon. Have you given any thought to that? A person can tell you they love you constantly, but do their actions match their words. Animals especially dogs are very perceptive. When they have been mistreated and the new owner finds this dog and shows  the dog love, that dog responds. The dog might not respond right away because he is suspicious, but in time he sees and feels the love that the new owner gives to him. I saw this in a dog that my daughter now has. The dog is so much different and outgoing than she was in the beginning. You can learn a lot from watching the actions of animals. How have you seen love in action lately?

The Positive Challenge

 

Are We Alone?

 

Why Do You Use Social Media?

 

 

Wear Pink in October

There are so many ways that you can support Breast Cancer Awareness.  Pause and observe your surroundings.   Use what you have.

 

Hope Is Stronger

***Intentional***

 

1.      Wear Pink

Did you know that you can wear pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness? Men can wear pink also.  Men can have Breast Cancer as well as women.  What about wearing a pink shirt, pink ribbons, or pink earring?   Have you considered organizing a Wear Pink Day at work, school, or church?  

2.      Fundraisers

Do you like to do fundraisers?  Do you like to bake?  How about having a bake sale, do fitness classes or even online donation drives?   All the proceeds can go to Breast Cancer research. 

3.      Invitations

Why not invite a professional to talk at your school about Breast Cancer?  Or better yet invite a Breast Cancer survivor to speak and tell their story to the class?

4.      Care Packages

Care packages or cards with words of encouragement sent to a Cancer Patient can be very inspiring.  This is a time in their lives that it is very much needed, because Cancer not only affects the patient, but it affects their entire family.   The support from many is very much needed.   This is a time that their faith may be  tested.  

5.      Words of Encouragement

You never know when your words of encouragement can help another.   I remember when my relative told me she had found a cancerous lump.   Her friend was crying.  My initial statement was, "We will overcome this challenge."   I believed that God would see her through, and He did just that.  She has been cancer free for numerous years now.  I had no idea how this would affect our family.   I accompanied her to every chemotherapy session, talking with her and other patients there.   I even met a man that was there being treated for Breast Cancer.   At the time it never occurred to me that men get Breast Cancer as well   as women.  

My relative had very young children at the time.  I cared for them as much as possible.  She further informed the school that I would be serving as a temporary substitute for upcoming teacher conferences and any other scheduled school events involving the children.   I didn't know how this would affect our family.   I believed we would get through this, and we did.  Though treatment lasted several weeks, it felt endless to me.

Because our bodies are subject to wear and tear, it is important to take care of our temple as best as we can.   Even with careful attention to health and lifestyle, illness can still affect individuals.   It is not just adults, but you see everyday babies and little ones with Cancer. 

6.       Applaud Breast Cancer Survivors

Do you know of any Breast Cancer Survivors?   They are to be applauded.  Surviving Cancer is a big ordeal.  There are so many residual effects left after Chemotherapy.  The sad part about this also is that chemo kills cancer, but it also kills the body’s good cells.  God has made our bodies so wonderful that the body can grow new cells and this is wonderful. 

7.       Redbubble.com

Breast Cancer Awareness will be observed throughout the month of October.   

  

Anointedtoday/Redbubble

 

 All sales from Anointedtoday/Redbubble this month will be donated to breast cancer research.  

8.      Profile Banner

Have you thought about changing your profile banner on your social media accounts to promote Breast Cancer Awareness?

 

9.      Your Office or Your Home

Do you have a designated space in your home where you can decorate In pink for Breast Cancer Awareness?  What about decorating your office in pink?

 

Pink Jewelry or clothing is an option as well?   Do you have a pink suit that you could wear to the office?  

 

Sleeping Cells 

What are sleeping Cancer cells?  Some breast cancer cells are able to survive treatment and spread to other parts of the body.   There they can enter a “sleep” state before waking up and causing the cancer to return.  According to worldwidecancerresearch.org., these cancer cells can be hard to destroy even with chemotherapy.  They further added that Dr. Sirio Dupont and his team in Italy have found a new way to target these sleepy cells and stop the cancer spreading.

 

Donations

Because there is still so much more to know about destroying Cancer research is most definitely needed.  Donations help to support that research.  

 

*Maximizing Your Knowledge*

 

Chemo Brain (Brain Fog)

Are you aware of brain fog after Chemotherapy?   I have talked about this before.   Brain fog is just one of the side effects of Chemotherapy.  Nearly all medicines cause side effects.  Mayoclinic.com talks about this. Some of the effects of brain fog may include trouble recalling what you have said to others, short-term memory issues, trouble finding the right words, trouble doing more than one thing at a time, mental fog, and short attention span.

What Can you do if you experience Chemo Brain after Chemotherapy?  You can do regular physical exercise, quality sleep, good nutrition, cognitive exercises, mindfulness, meditation, and four-dimensional breathing.  Cognitivegxusa.com provides information on this topic.   

 

Multi-tasking with Chemo Brain

Do you really want to attempt multi-tasking with Chemo Brain?  Multi-tasking is often encouraged, but it doesn't always lead to greater productivity.  If you are experiencing mental fog, consider implementing strategies such as listing your priorities, segmenting tasks into manageable components, disabling phone and email notifications, creating reference materials, taking thorough notes, utilizing a single notebook, scheduling dedicated planning sessions, and incorporating regular breaks throughout your day. That is according to southerncancercenter.com.  They further added that research indicated that very few people (approximately 2%) can multi-task effectively, regardless of their health, age, etc. It’s best to focus on one task at a time. 

 I agree with that because there are some days multi-tasking is not a part of my agenda. Sometimes you act automatically without being fully aware of your actions.    Have you ever locked your car door, only to immediately wonder, "Did I lock my car?"

 

  Please share how you promote Breast Cancer Awareness.

Do You Suffer with Cold Feet?

Keeping Your Brain Healthy

 7 Reasons to Eat the Rainbow

  

 

 

 

 

Love The Universal Language

Did you know that love is a universal language that can be spoken and felt all over the world?

 

Think about this:

1.    Your Love Language

What is your love language?   Love may mean different things to different people.   Simplypsychology.org., describes the 5 love languages as words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, receiving gifts.   Have you taken the time to determine which ones are yours?  Have you taken time to see which one that your loved one may need? 

  

   2.   Most Popular Love Language

Love is Powerful. What is the most popular love Language?   According to wftv.com quality time ranking 31.5% is the most popular love language in America.    The further added that physical touch ranks 27.5, acts of service ranks 15%, words of affirmation 15%, and gifts ranked 11%.   I could see how quality of time ranked the highest because in today’s society seemingly everyone is rushing to attempt to get as much done in a day’s time as possible.  Single mothers seem to have to raise their children on their own.  Many individuals are employed in two or three jobs instead of only one.  A deliberate decision is needed to prioritize quality time.    They further added that music can also be a language of love according to a study.   If your partner likes K-pop, they are the most likely of any music fan base to cherish quality time in their love life.  While country fans, on the other hand, are quite the opposite.

    3.  Building a Love That Lasts 

 What are the 4 keys to building a love that lasts?   Greatergood.berkeley.edusuggests harmonious passion, cultivating positive emotions, savoring the good times, and knowing and building on your character strengths.  That is great.   I still appreciate the Bible verse about love.    This passage is commonly referred to as the Love Chapter.  1 Corinthians 13.   I particularly enjoy the verses about love.    They are as follows: verse 4. Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  Verse 5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Verse 6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth (v.7).   It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves, and verse 8. Love never fails. 

 

 4.      Love Heals

Does love aid healing?  It is possible.  1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  (NIV).  Studies illustrate that the chemical and functional changes occurring with a love-empowered heart make us more resilient to pain and stress, reduce the risk of and promote improved recovery from cardiovascular events (strokes and heart attacks), and even help us fight off infections.   Psychologytoday.com talks about this.  They further added examples of how many parents have overcome addictions to alcohol or cigarettes in an expression of love for their newborn child or how many soldiers have made enormous sacrifices for their love of country and family?  I can see that.  This reminds me of how often people thank my husband for his service.    My husband is a veteran. He also is very patriotic.    His response to them is, “You were worth fighting for.” To my amazement many people are surprised to hear him say that, because they usually are expecting him to just say, “Your welcome.”

 

 5.      Unconditional Love

Have you felt unconditional love?    Do you know what unconditional love looks like?  Healthline.com talks about unconditional love as a selfless act, it can benefit emotional health, it feels secure, it’s altruistic, and it involves acceptance and forgiveness.  You know it is not love when strings or conditions are attached.   Have you heard someone say, "If you loved me, you'd do this?"    If you loved me you would do that?”

 

 6.      Tough Love

What is tough love?   Have you ever had to use tough love?   I believe when parenting there may be times when tough love is needed.  During my children's upbringing, we engaged in role-playing activities.  My two oldest children described me as favoring my youngest and giving her a pat on the shoulder no matter what she did.  I had never thought I did that until I saw them doing the role playing.  I needed to start using tough love.  How many of you have been guilty of favoring one of your children?  After the role playing I started looking at situations and sometimes saying to myself, “If this was not your child would you allow a certain behavior?  I would ask myself that question.    Children often don't notice that parents tend to become more relaxed with each additional child.  

 

  7.      Your Immune System

Some individuals experience rapid recovery from illnesses.    Have you ever wondered why that is?  Uthealthaustin.org., suggests that feeling loved and supported can strengthen the immune system and that those with a strong support system tend to recover more quickly from illnesses.   They further added that happily married couples report fewer complaints of back pain and headaches; happily married couples are 10% more likely to experience restful sleep.  Can anyone identify with this?  This is love in action.

 I have talked about this before.   During COVID-19 I was concerned during the month lockdown in our state.   Would my husband and I tolerate each other?  How would we cope under the circumstances.   Although I'd heard about families struggling in close quarters, we had no issues.  I was thankful for that.

Since love is a universal language and means different things to different people I ask you, “What does love mean to you?”

New Techniques to Destress

Because technology is increasing at a tremendous pace, there are new techniques developing constantly for destressing.

Did You Know?

 

***Intentional***

1.      Three-minute Breathing

What is three-minute breathing?   Three-minute breathing space meditation, involves three steps.   They are as follows:

a.      Becoming aware and noticing what your experience is right now

b.     Directing attention to the breath and the sensations of the breath, and

c.      Expanding awareness beyond your breath to also notice sensations of the body.

This is talked about at news.va.gov.   They further added that you don’t need a lot of time to begin practicing and you can practice throughout your day, during your commute, or while talking with coworkers or friends.

Remember when you work you want to stress less while working more, because work life balance is so important for your well-being.

 

2.      Brain-Dumping

According to psychcentral.com brain dumping is the act or an instance of comprehensively and uncritically expressing and recording one’s thoughts and ideas (as on a particular topic}.  They further added that the benefits include helping you remember what you need to accomplish each day. Organizing your thoughts, improving focus and concentration, and it may decrease stress.

3.      Forest Bathing

What is Forest Bathing?   Health.Clevelandclinic,org. talks about this.  It is rooted in the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, translated as forest bathing or walking through the forests which is not a new practice.   It has been around since 1982.  They further suggest that forest therapy can have a positive impact on the oxygen levels in your brain because you are surrounded by trees and vegetation that engage in photosynthesis.  In other words, you are inhaling oxygen-rich air, which can support proper oxygenation of your blood and subsequently benefits your brain function.

4.      Chewing on Ice and Weighted Blanket

Do you chew on ice?   I recall I used to chew on ice all the time, but I do not remember when or why I stopped.   Neurodivergentinsights.com talks about this stating that chewing on ice can help with sensory overload.  They further added that using a weighted blanket can help to activate your relaxation response (parasympathetic nervous system) and down-regulates the body.  I agree with that.  I have an electric blanket that is weighted.   Whenever I use the blanket especially during the winter.  I can feel my muscles relaxing and if I am cold I will warm up almost immediately.   I love my electric blanket.  At the time that I purchased my blanket I had no idea that it was weighted.  

5.      Classical Music Affects the Heart Rate

Does Classical Music Affect the Heart Rate?   I have mentioned in the past that I like a variety of music including Classical.   I do not know why I like it, but I do.   I know that God makes us all differently.   Anyway, Emerginginvestigators.org., talks about this.   They say that heart rates significantly decreased after listening to classical music and significantly increased after listening to the subjects’ favorite musical selections. 

 Apparently, I am not the only one that loves classical music. Pbs.org., talks about Ben Carson’s love of classical music.  He emphasized it kept him calm when performing surgery.  Maybe that is why I like classical music.  It has a calming effect on me.

6.      Yoga and the Stress Reduction connection

Exactly how does Yoga help with stress reduction? Yoga poses may help you release physical blockages like muscle knots, helping release emotions and tension.   Healthline.com further added that they promote the release of mood-boosting endorphins which are the feel; -good hormones that can positively affect how you handle stress.

7.      Sticky Notes

When you have negative thoughts, has it occurred to you to replace negative thoughts with positive ones? Mindfulness does matter.   Keep sticky notes around your house.   When you have a negative thought replace it with a positive one and stick it somewhere so that you will see it often.  For example:   You may think to yourself, “I cannot go back to college.”  You can replace it with, “I can go back to college.”  Write this on the sticky and place it where you will see it often.  Another example: “I am an idiot.”  Never put yourself down.  Instead replace it with “I made a mistake.”  “I will do better.”  I recall recently a person stating to another, “I am so stupid.”   I was so proud of how the other person responded.   That person said, “Now we are not having that.”  You are not stupid; you just made a mistake.”  

 

8.      Coloring

Did you know that coloring is good for your health? You can color your calm.  Mayoclinichealthsystem.org. talks about this.   Focusing on color choice and staying inside the lines causes you to think about the present moment. They further added that you may practice being nonjudgmental as you go through the task with no expectations and coloring uses the parts of the brain that enhance focus and concentration, which gives you the opportunity to disconnect from stressful thoughts. 

 

9.      Awareness

When you are aware, you can focus and flow. Do you know people that seemingly are negative much of the time?  Have you considered being watchful of how you approach situations.  Someone once said, “You can find good in everyone.”   Do you look for the good in others or do you automatically see the bad.  Sometimes being around negative people can take a toll on you and affect you negatively as well. You may find that this stresses you out.   Surround yourself with positive people.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This is the month for Breast Cancer Awareness. How can you make a difference?

There are numerous ways that you can make a difference.

***Good News***

Did You Know?

Breast Cancer Awareness Theme:

The Breast Cancer Awareness Theme for 2024 is No one should face Breast Cancer alone according to news18.com.

1. Why Is Pink Associated with Breast Cancer?

Do you know how it is that pink became associated with breast cancer? There is a story behind this. According to America.sultair.com Charlotte Haley created a handmade peach-colored loops to honor her mother, her sister, and her grandmother who had each battled breast cancer. Penny reached out to her and offered national support only for Charlotte to turn her down, then pink became the color associated with the ribbon initiative started by Self Magazine and Estee Lauder. They further added that Susan G. Korman, the world’s leading breast cancer organization has used the color pink since its inception in 1982. There you have it.

2. This Year’s Top 5 Breakthroughs

Did you know that this year’s top 5 breakthroughs in Cancer Treatment include immunotherapy: The power of the Immune System, precision medicine: Tailoring Treatment to the Individual, nanotechnology: delivering drugs with precision and efficiency, gene editing: Precise Tools for Specific Therapy, and metabolic therapies: starving cancer cells of Nutrients.

3. Tips for Breast Cancer

Limit Your Estrogen Exposure. Why should you limit your estrogen exposure? I recall asking an oncologist why his treatment was so aggressive with younger people? He explained the estrogen in their bodies fueled the cancer. Cedars-sinai.org. Mentioned this also stating that about 80% of breast cancers are estrogen receptor positive and that estrogen from oral contraceptives or long-term hormone replacement therapy may increase breast cancer risk.

4. Breast Cancer Wreath

One way that I love to show breast Cancer Awareness is with a Breast Cancer Wreath. The one showing below is one that I ordered very inexpensively through Amazon. I really love this wreath. I hang it on my front door proudly.

 

5. Sit With A Cancer Patient During Treatment

If you have a relative or friend that is going through chemo treatments, Just sitting with them during the treatment, can give them great support. Sometimes the chemo treatments may be just about 20 minutes during a session, while at other times, it may be up to 3 hours or more. Every patient’s timing and situation may vary. If you have never gone through this, you can learn a lot just sitting and talking with others that are going through this.

I recall an acquaintance that shared with me of going to her Cancer treatments by herself. I was so surprised because I knew she had relatives. She shared that that was the way she wanted it and she was okay with that. She was now Cancer free and okay. This let me know that everyone approaches their Cancer differently and I should respect that.

6. More Tips for Breast Cancer

Read and learn about the latest technology in Breast Cancer. Dormant cancer cells are cells that did not die from a person’s initial treatment. The cells can ‘hibernate” undetected for unknown reasons until they begin to grow again. A study done by researchers showed they were able to find and remove dormant cancer cells from about 80% of the participants that lied dormant in participants bone marrow and eliminate them.

7. Blogging

Blogging about Breast Cancer is a great way to show awareness. There are millions of bloggers that do this every year. The more knowledge people have the more that they are able to make informed decisions regarding their health and their life.

8. Retail Stores

Sometimes in the retail stores they will ask if you want to add to their Breast Cancer Effort.

9. Men and Breast Cancer

What is male breast cancer? Although it is rare most breast cancer in men is ductal carcinoma, which means the cancer cells began growing in the (milk) ducts of the breast. Pennmedicine.org., further adds that male breast cancer can occur typically between the ages of 60-70 and additional risk factors may include obesity, descended testicle, testicular swelling, due to adult-onset mumps, removal of one or more testicles, Estrogen treatment given for men prostate cancer, and having a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation.

10. Lifestyle and Cancer

Does your lifestyle affect your chances to develop Cancer? Lifestyle does play an important part in Cancer. Did you know that 30% of all cancer-related deaths have been linked to cancer? This is mentioned at health.ucdavis.edu. They further add that it is important to maintain a healthy weight and active lifestyle, up to 50% of preventable cancers are a result of the foods we eat, alcohol increases the risk of various types of cancer, wear sunscreen to protect the skin, get vaccinated, get screened, and know your family history.

11. Breast Cancer Statistics

The American Cancer Society’s estimates for 2024 includes about 310,720 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women, about 56, 600 new case of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will be diagnosed, and about 42,250 women will die from breast cancer according to cancer.org.

12. Cleaning Services

Cleaning For a Reason is an organization that will clean cancer patient’s homes professionally. They offer this service free. I think this is a great idea. Also, you can offer your own services to help clean house. During chemotherapy treatments some patients may not feel well at times. Cleaning house can become a chore for the parents of a cancer patient, because the treatments kill the good cells as well as the bad cells in cancer patients. That is why they are often told during treatment to get plenty of rest as the immune system is quite affected. The child that has cancer affects the entire family.
