Grateful for LIFE

Today is my other birthday. I am 4 years old today. On this day 4 years ago, I almost lost my life to Congestive Heart Failure.

It was on this day, that I decided to make some very drastic life changes, as I continue to do today.

We all need to take a more proactive approach to our health. If you think something is wrong, it just may be. Get it checked out.

Happy Birthday to ME! #iAmAlive

I am BLESSED beyond Measure!

Be a blessing in the life of another

Happy Birthday to me!

#TooMuchDoubt

Yesterday the entire country was abuzz with the impending execution of convicted cop killer Troy Davis.

The entire internet was on fire with Twitter & Facebook being the forerunners in the fight to save Troy Davis.

Hashtags of #TooMuchDoubt #SaveTroyDavis #Pray4TroyDavis could be viewed in just about every post on Twitter & Facebook alike.

Numerous emails were sent to Judge Penny Freesemann at pfreesemann@chathamcounty.org to aid in the fight to stop the impending execution.

Davis has always maintained his innocence and in a last ditch effort offered to submit to a polygraph test; which was denied.

Davis’ application for Clemency was denied.

The NAACP has been very vocal in their support of Troy Davis’ innocence.

Despite the relentless arguments by Davis’ legal team & Supporters Worldwide the decision to execute him was halted for a few hours, only for the decision to proceed with his execution by lethal injection to be upheld.

Troy Anthony Ðavis was executed at 11:08pm on 9/21/11 for the 1989 Murder conviction of a White off duty police officer in Savannah GA.

It saddens me that the Justices allowed an innocent man to be executed. Why couldn’t they have granted him the Polygraph test that he was willing to submit to?

Would that Not have proved his innocence?

Witnesses recanting their testimonies, someone else having confessed to the crime, was that not enough to have granted him a retrial?

I hope that the burden of knowing that they could have prevented an innocent’s death, haunts them forever.

#RIPTROYDAVIS

Condolences to everyone affected by this travesty.

Protect Our Children

When the freedom of speech law was enacted I don’t think it as meant to shield the likes of Pedophiles and incestuous child molesting monsters.

Yet that seems to be the case.
Tonight I was made aware of profiles on Twitter tweeting about having Sex with children as young as 9 years old!

One such profile was of an alleged mother who engaged in sexual acts with her biological children. I failed to see how anyone could deem this to be acceptable, especially in a public forum like Twitter.

What’s even more horrifying is the fact that there are enumerable twitter accounts tweeting about forcible sexual contact with defenseless minor children.

I find it hard to believe that Twitter could be so Socially inept that they would allow such heinous behavior to be tolerated.

What is their moral obligation? Is there any? Granted they’re a Corporation, bereft of emotion and or compassion, but to allow such actions to continue should constitute promotion of Pedophelia and or Sexual crimes against minors.

I am appalled to say the least.
As parents we need to do any and everything in our power to protect the children. Even if they aren’t our children, they are being robbed of their innocence.

Someone has to protect our children.
Will you help fight for them or stand idly by?

The choice is yours, choose wisely.

Lend a hand any way you can!

Our Children are our Future.

Extensive online research I came across this site to report internet crimes.

Toxic Gas Alert

Important Health Alert!

CAR AIR-CONDITIONING – VERY IMPORTANT!

Most car manuals advise us to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning the A/C system on.

EVER WONDERED WHY?

More folks are dying from cancer than ever before. We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents that we unknowingly encounter on a daily basis.

Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week.
As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and nauseous.

Please pass this on to as many people as possible.

Guess it’s not too late to make some changes!

Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!!
Please DO NOT turn A/C on as soon as you enter the car, as tempting as it may be!

Open the windows after you enter your car, let it air out for a few minutes before turning the A/C on.

Here’s why: According to research, the car dashboard, seats and air freshener emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen)

Ever observed the smell of heated plastic in your car?

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. Can also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene levels indoors is 50 mg per square ft.

A car parked indoors with closed windows will contain approximately 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to approximately 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into their cars, keeping windows
closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of this toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys and liver. What’s worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

So friends, please open the windows and doors of your car – give time for the interior to air out -dispel these deadly toxins – before turning your Air Conditioning on!

When you know better, do better! Consider yourself warned!
Spread the word! The life you save maybe your own!

So until I feel the need to rant again,
Be safe, be well

National Child Abuse Prevention

Let me start by saying, I am no expert on this topic. I am merely stating my opinion.

I was a Victim of abuse.

Help is available.

You may think you should mind your business when you see a child being abused or neglected, thinking it has nothing to do with you.

But it does. That child may die at the hands of their abuser, what you knew could have been stopped. You could have save that child’s life!

Children are our future!
They’re a powerless population!
It is not their fault!
Children look to us for guidance, they trust us.

Disciplining a child shouldn’t be cruel, demeaning or hurtful.

There’s a difference between discipline & abuse. Hurt people hurt people!

Abuse takes on many forms,
It can be
Physical : hitting shoving etc,
Verbal and or Mental: saying mean hurtful things;
Sexual: sexual contact with a child, touching, penetration, conversation ; exposure to anything of a sexual nature,
Emotional: withholding love, respect, affection; support.
Neglect: not paying attention to your child’s health; educational, social; developmental needs; failure to provide preventative care; lack of concern for their developmental needs.

Most cases are never reported as there is a “stigma” attached to abuse of any kind.

When abuse of any kind occurs there are usually. Life long physical, emotional, health & developmental residuals.

There is scientific evidence to support the fact that abuse can lead to brain & motor defects. It can stunt social development as well.

Some of the most dangerous side effects of abuse isn’t visual. Emotional & mental scarring from abuse & neglect can often disrupt one’s daily life.

Victims may suffer from a wide range of emotional & social phobias, they may experience anxiety, distrust, paranoia, depression, suicidal tendencies, difficulty adapting to social situations, lack of self esteem’ confidence, feelings of worthlessness, they may themselves become abusive to others or endure abusive relationships themselves.

As a society, its our duty to report any suspected cases of abuse or neglect.
Not to abuse the system and victimize families by being vindictive and making knowingly false accusations just to satisfy a vendetta.

Our children are our future, let’s work together to safeguard them!

By working together we can sometimes prevent abuse and neglect, before it occurs or bring and end to it.

Lend A Hand, Any Way You Can!!!

Each one, teach one.

Be Blessed,
Che’
