DO LIFE !!!

Victor M. Kasatshko’s DoLife was started due to the loss of his Mother to pancreatic cancer & it inspired him to create the LIFE symbol to bring positive awareness to ALL causes and to remind people to Do Life Now. See below what his website says when you go to home page.

.
.

Do Life’s Founder Victor M. Kasatshko shares a bit of his story:

Due to a personal tragedy of losing my Mom to pancreatic cancer I set out to create a symbol for all awareness causes. As a result I designed and trademarked the powerful and hopeful “Life” symbol since the “living of life” should be the real and true meaning of ALL awareness campaigns and causes. The power of the Life™ symbol is that it redirects the attention from a negative (cancer, leukemia, AIDS) to one of hope in reminding us to “DoLife Now!”.

Growing up, my favorite books were “Where the wild things are” and “Dr Suess Books”.


Books bring a child’s imagination alive. It helps them create who they will become!

I know it brought my imagination to life as a child, and with my parents permission I drew & painted animated characters on my bedroom walls and I loved it.

I did the same for my children when they were young. I let them pick what characters they wanted. It was so fun. Plus my children remember it to this day and they are now 23, 25 & 27. It left a lasting impression on them. How cool is that.

.
.

Some children just don’t want to read. I had a son who was that way, it took a while to figure why he did not want to read his work for school or read period. I finally just asked him after months of why will you not read your books we get you?
His answer was a simple one, “that is not what I want to read”. Wow, how easy was that.


Open communication is a big key to reading too.

So when I took my son to the library again to get books, I let him pick what he was interested in reading, IT WORKED!! He was reading what he found of interest and it helped improve his reading at school as well.

Plus, instead of me always reading to my children, I let them take turns reading to me their books. It was so much fun seeing them grow with knowledge.


This is why I am writing about “Big Universe” & how important it is for children!

Pamela Glasner's Book FINDING EMMAUS - The Lodestarre (Series)

I have read this book & what a wonderful tantilizing road trip it takes you on.

You cannot help but be drawn into the books settings & storyline. It was just release Oct 1, 2009 & has already become a big hit.

Its about how the psychiatric community has confused Empathic personality traits with mental illness with tragic results. Pamela S. K. Glasner’s dark historical fantasy, Finding Emmaus, book one of The Lodestarre series, takes the reader on a harrowing 350-year fictional yet factual journey through the history of treatment for the mentally ill, eventually exposing a multi-billion dollar conspiracy between the US Food and Drug Administration and the pharmaceutical industry.

The story is simultaneously experienced through the lives of two Empaths—one in the 17th century, the other in 21st— otherwise ordinary people who risk everything to save millions of people who’ve been ostracized from society and victimized because they are mistakenly labeled mentally ill.

I couldn't put the book down as I was reading it, it keeps you mesmerized & drawn in.

You Can Find this book here:

Life's Playground

It has been a while since I wrote a new blog, so here I am.

First off, My mom has been in the hospital for 8 weeks. She is a feisty 84yr old who has cancer but tries not to let it slow her down. She got an infection in her legs & feet that look something like the flesh eating disease. She had to be placed on strong IV antibiotics until the infection is gone, plus regular cleaning & care of her feet & legs. There is not alot that we can do, just hope the infection does not come back (this is the 2nd time in a year). But with her immune system the way it is due to the 3 forms of cancer she is fighting, she has come a long ways in the last 3yrs of fighting this. She refuses anymore treatments as its throughout most of her body, but she also will not give up.


As a Cancer survivor myself of 10 yrs and watching my father die from cancer when I was 14 yrs old. Well I know she is a fighter & survivor as well. But Please I ask if everyone would keep her in your prayers. I plan to head back to San Diego at the end of November.


I have been quite busy with twitter & facebook helping post information for Love Without Boundaries charity of which I am the Volunteer Twitter Coordinator & work to help spread the word on all the needs of so many wonderful children. LWB provides the most loving and compassionate help possible to orphaned and impoverished children in China. We provide humanitarian aid in five key areas - Education, Foster Care, Healing Homes, Medical, and Orphanage Assistance. To visit LWB & learn more: www.lovewithoutboundaries.com

Life & its Lil Adventures

I have learned in my 46 yrs on this planet, that Life is One heck of an Adventure.
No one knows what it will bring us, but its how we deal with its ups and downs that make us who we are today.

I know I have had many ups and downs just like anyone. Life sure can be tough, but no on ever said it would be easy. I find that if you SMILE everyday (whether you want to or not) It helps to turn a bad day around. Thats why one of my favorite things to say is " Smile at those you pass each day, it just might be the Smile they needed to get through their day".

Yes, you may have had a bad day, but someone else's may have been worse.
Survival is the Key word, and Attitude. Usually a positive attitude can help you accomplish alot more in your day, then a negative one. Don't you agree? Maybe that is why there is the saying "Kill them with Kindness". Doesn't a Smile or Kindness go a long way? I think it does.

Oh I have my days, just like anyone else. After all, "No one is Perfect".

For instance, I was just recently laid off work 2 weeks ago as an Administrative Asst/Receptionist. I did 21 different jobs with in the company, which was a part of the auto industry. No matter how good you are, the economy can still change all that. So many people have lost their job, and the fat cats in big corporations are taking big bonuses (I will not name names). Its us little people who are suffering and trying to make ends meet, then you get laid off and lose another 15% of your income, because unemployment benefits are still something, but not enough for alot of us to survive on.

But anyways, I was laid off, and I was tweeting on Twitter (www.twitter.com/taz31263) and joking about it, yes I said joking about it... I said, "well I got laid off today (June 22) and I guess when one door closes another one opens... Do I get to pick which door this time? I want the Green Door please." (as in Money door..LOL). Well an associate producer from the Today show (yes thats right the Today show) saw my tweets about getting laid off and being upbeat about it, after all, what was I gonna do say, NO you can't lay me off, I refuse...LOL. So I get a message asking me if he could email me, so I say sure. Well I'm no dummy, I googled all the info, persons name, email address, etc. And low and behold it really is an associate producer from the Today Show. His question was they were doing a segmant on June 24, 2009 about the AIG big wigs getting bonuses, while us lil people were losing our jobs and could they come out an interview me about my thoughts. So I said sure, and they were in my home the next day, did interview, it aired on Wed June 24, 2009. So I say, Chalk one up for attitude. I was told I had a great attitude and did a wonderful job. I did not bad talk my former employer, what good would that do. I loved the work I did, I love working with people.

So since my lay-off, I have gone back to helping others via Twitter. Its Great, I Love it!!!!

My youngest son James Taylor Jr (www.twitter.com/James_Taylor_Jr) who is 23 and a singer song writer and overall talented young man, now is on twitter and my oldest child my daughter Cynthia (www.twitter.com/CynthiaBegeman) who is 27, married and a singer and very beautiful talented young lady also joined. So if you Twitter, please follow us and many more I will list as I go.

So continuing: I have met some really terrific People via Twitter, Amazing People actually, who believe in alot of causes and helping others as I do. What a Marvelous world we live in and so many Wonderful People. If they have a cause or charity that is in need of getting out there, I RT (Re-tweet) it for them many times through out the day. So many Great People ... such as...

1. Kathy Ireland (www.twitter.com/KathyIreland) for her & Elizabeth Taylor's (www.twitter.com/DameElizabeth) Cause http://www.allianceforchristianeducation.org/ A Support for The Alliance for Christian Education nondenominational organization. A Great Cause to Support.
