FOCUS ON YOU January 04, 2007 3:24 a.m.

Anger, competitiveness, jealousy, wanting everything- it’s not healthy. Focus on you. Your self’s own growth of your soul. His/her own self consciousness, insecurity, ignorance, poor attitude is their own struggles in trying to grown and learn. Arguing is conflict with your souls growing and learning. Doing spiteful things to make yourself look better is poor on your half too. In general, ignore racist comments, sexist comments, ignorant stares, angersome looks, rude comments or finger gestures. Its only a reflection on the person doing the behavior signifying they were raised on a barn, abusive pasts, poor self esteem and the list goes on.

SHARING WORDS OF WISDOM October 03, 2006 4:10 a.m. Tuesday

Sharing is what I try to emphasize in much of my poetry. The saying goes a long way and spreads like the seasonal cold. The saying “what comes around comes around goes around” is true. You share your heart, soul, personality, possessions, money, hugs, smiles, laughter, kindness, nice gestures and genuine love then it’ll truly and honestly come back to you. Move aside your fears, paranoia’s, ego, judgments, self destructive behaviors and greed then you’ll open doors to unimaginable possibilities. Another in need comes in numerous shapes and forms. If they’re cold offer a blanket, if they’re thirsty offer water, if they’re craving attention offer an ear, if they’re sad offer comfort, if they’re lonely offer your company, if they’re broke offer them some money, if they’re frightened offer them reassurance, if they’re angry offer them a little peace of mind and keep offering because it all comes back to you. Essentially, its not just material possessions to share but your mind, spiritual energy, diversity, knowledge, stories, growth, laughter, smiles, hugs, pat on another’s back and just plain being there to let another vent out their problems, stories, jokes and everything else the world they need to say or discuss. Life is more than you! To receive positive energy you have to give a lot first. God wants us all to love each other as brothers and sisters. I love you all. You are ALL my brothers and sisters. God Bless you always!

CHANGE August 11, 2006 3:48 a.m.

You’ve got to want to change in order to change. Its gotta make you so sick that you’ll demand change. You’ll see others changing that you’ll crave any change. When nothings the same as it used to be you’ll see a lot of change. With each new season approaching you’ll gradually change anyways. New people all the time coming and going you’ll see a different type of change. Repulsed by repetitiveness you’ll create new ways to change. There’s absolutely positively no end to how we can creatively change. For a change, do your own changing around. Change, yes…now!! Don’t hold off either!

FORGIVENESS October 21, 2005 03:08 a.m.

Forgive her/him for she has problems of his/her own. Often, you come across others who are train wrecked. What he/she vents out of anger is really deep problems, frustrations or ill-termed torment they are going through themselves. So when one is bitter, angry, hurt or vengeful well they’re only carrying out problems of their own. They might do so because of many reasons like attention, need for some kind of love, thinking life isn’t fair, inability to cope within their means, angry at societal roles, misguided by their peers, hidden jealousies, torched reputations, disgusted by racial stereotypes, classified as this or that or just plain ignorant. Ignorance is perhaps the most common factor for angry individuals. However you try to go about it, there’s just no putting sense in to some people. Remember this, there are many ignorant individuals out there who will try to wear you down. Walk away and be the better person remembering they’re ignorant and don’t know any better.

OUR POWER IN GOVERNMENT AND WHY ARGUE- ITS A WASTE OF TIME! October 20, 2005

I’m not really an argumentative type of person. I think it’s a waste of time and really ridiculous. I do find it necessary though in certain situations like getting your point across. When the other person doesn’t entitle your own opinion/situation in the matter or when you want to encourage another to go towards a different pathway. I rarely desire the need to argue. My boyfriend and I do argue sometimes over financial situations. He’s great with money and I gamble like there’s no tomorrow. I think people wouldn’t argue at all if everyone in the world shared, respected each others religious beliefs, entitle everyone else’s opinion about history/historical events, looked beyond skin color and got rid of hierarchical ego class system. Many of our wars are over territory, power, religion and corruptive leaders who only wants what’s best for their own interests. Indeed they get followers who do what they’re told because they’re manipulated into power and deceit.
We do need strong levels of government but we need the kind who are for the people, the community and honoring whatever role they were given/elected into. Setting an example as a tremendous leader or one in governments means keeping your goals and priorities straight. It also means standing up in whatever you believe in and fight for your community. To make such commitments mean public events, committee meetings, strategic goals, connection to the people, ability to speak, educational backgrounds, being a role model, knowing your existing community of who you’re serving/ trying to please, awareness of opponents and a genuine passion of wanting to be in the public eye. A poor leader wants power alone, gets greedy, uses power to receive sexual favors, lies about political agenda, influences political power by referring their religious preferences into the mixture and misleads the people with huge lies.

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART October 16, 2005

Often, you’re challenged with numerous obstacles throughout your whole life. A great number of us are weak and give in to being really miserable and depressed. Overcoming fears, stress and pressures of everyday life depends on recognition of your true loved ones, setting goals, balancing time, going out of your way to help others, giving those in need and a strong faith in God. There’s just so much opportunity for each and everyone of us out there. Me myself hasn’t the slightest clue of what to do career wise. I’m just so confused. But I do know what I do love and enjoy and work on that. That is poetry, music and quality time with my family.

FIGURING LIFE OUT October 11, 2005

I think some have things figured out early in life. Then there are those that go through their whole lives with no clue what’s going on at all. For myself, I’m midway really. I know wrong vs. right, yes vs. no, man vs. woman, white vs. black, war vs. peace, ethical vs. unethical, smart vs. ignorant and so forth. My biggest questions in life are whether or not we’re here for a specific reason, heaven vs. hell, Jesus’ role on earth, why do some murder, why do some adults molest children, why don’t everyone have wonderful and cool families, is there time travel, is there aliens, why do ghosts roam, what’s really good/bad to eat, why so many languages, why different religions, are psychics really psychic, is it possible to freeze time, is there karma for you and I, are inventors born inventors, is there reincarnation, why don’t we have a cure for certain diseases, does God know when everyone will pass, am I with my soul mate and on and on and on and on…… yes I ask these life long questions again and again. I think everyone does. I only really speculate and just guess throughout my life I became very clear, conscious and aware of all my surroundings. I’m recognizable that people have commons sense, all want love, want a place to fit in society and the ability to do genuine good . Oh most people do anyways. I pray for love, happiness, good things for not only my loved ones but EVERYONE else as well!!

DOING YOUR FAVORITE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY May 4, 2005

Walking, jogging and bike riding used to be my favorites. I joined a fitness club and the treadmill was one of my favorite things to do. Now that we’re in Goldendale, I’d have to say walking up the auditorium is my favorite physical activity. Cleaning the house is also one of my favorite things to do. The idea of reaching the top of the observatory is both challenging and rewarding. I find myself out of breath and struggling quite a lot. Some fun things I did in the past were tennis, softball, bike riding, jogging, very long walks and swimming. I never actually swam but when we stayed at a motel it was always fun to be in their pool and swim. Today, I mostly clean the house for exercise activities. I do dishes, laundry, organize dirty clothes, fold clothes, put dishes away, vacuum, sweep, dust, organize papers, take the trash out, clean toilet, organize living room/bedroom, kill ants and make the beds. That’s quite a lot of work. I really need to be more physical and active. I need to keep my cancer from spreading and my ticker to keep ticking away. I need to quit being such a lazy ass and not be such a hugeass procrastinator. Go Jenna Go- kick some ass and exercise you big fatass pig!
