- Quote of the Week
 

"...Like A Pair of Old Shoes, Even Though You're Used To Them.....You've Outgrown Them..

So It Is With Your Life.....You're Growing & You Need Room..

That's Why You're Uncomfortable At Times...& Feeling Unfilled

Sadly, People Stay Where They Are Because It's Convenient

They're Scared To Change Shoes, Even Though They Are Worn Out!

It's Time To Find A New Pair Of Shoes!

Open Discussion
 
 
Crystal From Texas: Question to RV Hunter ~ On the Wang Dang conference call last Sunday, he mentioned there was a provision in the Executive Order 13303, stated that President Bush indicated that the RV must happen before January 1, 2016!  Can you please explain if you know anything more about this?
RV Hunter: Wang Dang has been saying this for quite awhile....but according to RV Hunter he hasn't seen any proof where it has been written...But he does know for a fact that this should have only been a 10 year deal,  it should have happen back in 2012!
Now that Shabbi is back in office, if what Wang Dang says is true, it might be a possiblity if now it may be before 2016!
Blk Pearl commented this is interesting and somthing that warrents more investigation on Executive Order 13303
 
 Acts of Kindness & Future Visions
 
 Amazing Grace ~ Some elementary children are in such dire need,  she has noticed a child collecting food that other children didn't eat or about to throw away, so he can bring food home to the rest of his family!
Post RV I suggest for The G.E.M. ~ GROUP to go into the neighborhood with schools that need help, and give out pre-paid card to help with families in need, or put money on the lunch card account or provide food' clothing; school items..etc
These children & parents need our help...just because someone says a child or family is poor, it shouldn't stigima the children in beleiving they can't do any better.  They may be poor because of fianace, not because of the lack of love or determination
 
RV Hunter I have always said what he plans to do Post RV, is to give out one thousand pre-paid cards, each worth $100.00 & hand them out to those in need!
 
Michigan states that our first lady Michell Obama, has made it possible that every child in the school recieves free lunch & breakfast...although there is no longer candy; cakes; pies, etc offer in the school...unless at 4;00pm....however, what she has noticed it not only the child that requires help, it's the parents too.  When the weather in Michigan drops & it's snowing...most of the children don't have the proper clothing or shoes to attend school...especially those who have to walk to school. What she like to see post RV, is the parents recieve more assistant so they will be able to provide for their children, such as more Parent Classes (due to budget counselors has been removed) so they understand the children education, including the wants & needs of their child(ren), more art & music classes...more educational field trips...etc
 
The Author envision post RV, buying several, several empty lots in the community, so there will be plenty of planted vegetables & fruit trees, for the public.  She wants to make sure people get away from GMO process food.  She would like to hire a professional gardener to tend to these lots, so the public would have free food year round! She would like to have class taught on how to grow your own garden in small communities
 
Faith Forward comments that although it nice to give money to those in need of help, she prefer to look into
"Changing The Mindset"...as the saying goes:
Give a man a fish....he eats for a day ........Teach a man how to fish....he eats for a lifetime!
Faith Forward feel strongly on removing children from watching tv; playing video games, and introduce them more to areas, such as arts & museums; reading books that will help them to grow...talk to them on the importance of fiance & what it means
(Call drops)
 
Final Remarks
(Although this took place at the beginning of our call...it deserves to be used as our closing remarks)
 
Butterfly57 ~ Empower our Community
Learn to advocate for ourselves....we allow to have things happen in our community becuawe we don't know  we have the powers to fix them!
Butterfly57 envision helping different communities, to show them how to advocate & empower themselves to get people attention & the elective officials attention, to response to the needs of the community.  It doesn't matter if they like you or not, if you know the power you have within.
