12-Year-Old Miriam Starobin Helps Choking Friend Allyson Golden, Credits 'SpongeBob' - AOL News

Since most of us don't watch Sponge Bob...we can learn lifesaving techniques through signing up for a CPR course. You learn the techniques for someone having a heart attack, choking or drowning. Being there at the right time the right place having the right skills can make a huge difference in a person's life. You can give them the gift of life!

Love yourself enough to evaluate what you would like and what you will commit to. Then have fun educating and discovering what your body loves. Congratulations. You have the beginning of a healthy life.

GREEN HEALTH

2009-01-02T00:07:00.002-05:00

YES, it is time. Time to allow the green of the earth to reach the cells of your body.

Holistic health is the perfect balance of your medical world. How many times have you heard your doctor say..."I don't know what it is".

How many times has a condition you have all of a sudden exacerbate?

Suggestion...go green. Green with your household cleaners that will reduce your asthma symptoms.
Green with the natural supplementation of your nutrients. Green with the kind of air you breathe.

It's such a natural thing to do....breathe... and have a green environment to make sure the air you breathe is not toxic, and the food supplementation you put in your body is going to your cells...not down the toilet.

Try it. Use green cleaning products for a month...ones that are really green...read the label.
Then the next month, walk down the laundry isle in your local grocery store. What do you smell?
Do you catch your breath with the chlorine?

It's all to encourage the best health for you. Create the best healthcare plan. Own it. It'll be cheaper than missing work or going to the hospital for a preventable event.

My wish for you this year....Good Health....Peace....Love and Joy in your world.

Happy New Year

A picture of something we probably did as a child. We wanted to label the day with a happy one for someone else. It only took a moment.

As you live through your day, give the gift of a smile to someone. You ahve been given 24 hours of moments and just one can change a person's life, attitude or direction. Yes, that would be ENOUGH to create a happy day for someone. Enough is a precious gift we give to another. It is who we are. Right here. Right now. It will give joy and peace. And...it only took a moment.

HELP A FRIEND TO BE SAFE

2008-03-06T13:21:00.005-05:00

Today the world fortunately has changed to the point where there is assistance for those who live in an abusive relationship. What can I do, we say to ourselves when we suspect or know that a friend male or female is unsafe in a relationship. Being a friend to him or her is your first step to be there and listen. Here are a
number of suggestions for emotional and physical safety.

- REASSURE your friend that they did not cause the beatings. A
battering partner learned to use violence as a way of
expressing anger or frustration long before meeting them.

- PHYSICAL SAFETY is the first priority. Beatings usually
get worse and more frequent as time goes on. Ignoring
a beating is dangerous. Explain this to your friend.

- Tell your friend they are NOT ALONE in their situation. Domestic
violence happens to many women and men in all income
and educational levels, all social classes, and all
religious and ethinic groups. It also happens in same
sex relationships.

- Explain to her that violence is NOT A SICKNESS; it is a
choice and a crime.

- Help your friend to make an emergency plan in advance.
For information on where to go in case of an emerency,
have them call the national hotline or a
local number.

- Your friend needs moral support. Help your friend find
the economical and physical assistance they need to live
free from assualt.

- If your friend is not ready to make the change or form
a plan, continue to BE A FRIEND. In doing so you enable
your friend to build a wall of confidence so that they
can make that decision of safety and go the opposite
way.

- If your friend is an immigrant who is sponsored by their
spouse, a hotline can refer them for legal help.

Thank you for your attention and sensitiviey to this issue. You can save a person's life by just being a friend who can ask the tough questions.

PIMP my life.....

2008-02-08T18:34:00.000-05:00

isn't that a new sociallly acceptable term to glitz it up? Chelsea does add alot to Hillary's campaign. Look it up in the urban and suburban dictionary. As a parent of a teenager I have been educated as to the acceptance of such a term.."pimp". Now in my days....yes it meant....well we all know. Recently there was a television show about it pimping cars....making them look snazzy. "It doesn't mean what you think it means", is the typical response you can hear from todays teenager. Daniel Webster is no longer alive, and I'm not sure how much chrome they had in his days. I would though like the sensitivity factor be such that we are talking about inanimate objects.
When we use the word in association of wonderful people it can get confusing. So....can we decide what we want to use it for? Or, do we just throw it out there and hope that the "good" meaning of it will always prevail. The anchors comment ..... I must think of the good first. Maybe he just watched a rerun of the television show that talks about pimping our lives. Hmmmm. As my 21 year old son says.....no matter which way it is...it isn't a flattering term. SO, Mr. Anchorman, I would apologize and hope that the Clinton family will continue to smile with their success. What does this have to do with wellness? "What you think is what you say. What you say is what you do. What you do is who your are. Who you are is your destiny. Every day, think your way to your destiny." Deanette Schmidt. Are your words the way you want to look like? Go and make a bright and prosperous future for yourself. You deserve it.

February is traditionaly heart month. We think of our physical heart most often when we think of heart health. I trust that all of your regularly have our cholesterol and blood pressure checked. What about the other part of your heart, the unseen? There was a commercial on the Super Bowl that showed a woman at her computer and suddenly her heart burst out her chest leaving a hole and a tattered shirt. Her physical heart landed on the keypad! Suddenly, it sprouted legs and jumped off her desk and ran to her boss's office. There it jumped up on his desk with a sign reading "I Quit". Jumping down and running away the caption read..."Follow Your Heart". What an incredible depiction of a "healthy heart," the unseen part. What does your heart of hearts feel and do? Are you following your dreams, your deepest heart's desire? What makes your heart beat with a rhythm that only you can dance to? Take a moment in the quiet...take a minute each day. Listen to the beating of your heart of hearts...then take your ind, take your spirit, and take your body to dance into action. Come to the quiet and you willhear wht your heart is speaking. Feel the love it has for you.

Did you take a walk today? Yes, it takes more than a minute to do an aerobic walk, 20 minutes to be exact. However long you did walk, there is a minute way to maximize the total experience in your spirit, mind and body. Many of us might take our ipods, cds, or our voices to listen or sing a song while we pound the earth. We get in the rhythm of the music or spoken words of motivators dear to our hearts. It passes time and gives us some soul food. Here's a suggestion that can be added to your pleasures of a walk in the park.

Start with a deep breath raising your arms to the sky and back down maximizing the volume of air you take in and let out. As you start your pace keep your inner ears open, use your eyes to look at undiscovered nature even if it s a pebble or a single blade of grass. Listen to the harmonious sounds of nature. Listen to the miracle of every breath as your lungs expand and relax. Feel the muscles in your body stretch and take in all the rich nutrients you give them while walking. Smell the grass, the flowers or hear the crunch of snow under your feet. Look up into the beautiful sky bringing your total experience of living into the moment. Touch it, lifting your arms way up bringing in more rich oxygen into all the cells of your body. Wow...you've just detoxed your body of some unwanted carbon dioxide! The connection of your circulatory system and your respiratory system is responsible of resupplying all body cells with essential oxygen and removing the unwanted, potentially harmful CO2. Your 5 senses give the gift of knowing that everything about you and your world is special.

Put it all together...yes...we have a wonderful life. I'm glad you're here.

To Your Good Health

H2O day! One of the easiest ways to create health. The average adult body is approximately 80% water. Want to look younger? Drink water. Want to loose weight? Drink water. Want to clear your mind? Drink water. Fortunately we don't have to replace everyday the 40 liters of water that we consist of. We only need to drink approximately 2 liters. We can thank our body's amazing conservation and recycling system for that, i.e. blood plasma. So grab your favorite glass and drink to your health. Keeping fluid in your body helps you to keep fluid and flexible in all aspects of your life. Your brain, by the way, does contain a lot of water. What a good thinker you are!

15 Minutes of Your Time

2008-01-10T21:35:00.000-05:00

Fifteen minutes of your time. What can you create with that? You can certainly create better health by doing some abdominal crunches, or you can jump start your car. In 3000 seconds, you can create your purpose in life. In the new year that is progressing, the question I pose is what did I do with that precious 3000 seconds to propel myself forward in living the life I want to live.

I mentioned jump starting your car as a possible activity needed to be done, especially in the cold weather some of us have. You have one dead battery and one juiced up one. Then there's the jumper cable. To do any good the two have to be connected. The new year is a great time to connect with those people who can be the jumper cable, the juiced up battery in a particular area of your life.

I just got off the phone with the one and only Jerry Hart of http://www.hartcreativemarketing.com/ and he juiced me up to create an efficient use of googling. He has a teleclass every Thursday evening on University of Masters, http://www.universityofmasters.com/. Being a new entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in my field, I have a passionate message to get out to the world about creating your own health and prosperity within and around yourself. Connecting with such a Master of internet marketing just created a clarity and knowledge base that has given the electrical spark to venture out in unknown territory for me with confidence, poise and purpose.

So what is your area you need some juice for. Take 15 minutes in a quiet space and ask yourself. There are people around you who love you and see the value you have to give to the world. When you see it...feel it deep inside...then do it. Smile now....you have just made the world a better place to live.

Doors are opening...

2007-11-15T23:32:00.000-05:00

to all the wonderful people like you, like me, who are starting to live in the Land of Blog. Tonight, Jerry Hart, of www.hartmarketing.com shared with me the awesome new opportunity that USA Today news has created. Now I really needed a quick electrical shock to passion up my heart of educating people in the holistic realm of health. Wow...if one doesn't take this opportunity...I really don't believe they want to accomplish much in blogging land. Hello everyone, there is double the readers viewing online than with the paper stuff in the hand.

SO...everyone let's party in Google and in the USA Today.

I'm a newbee in the land of blogging and business. It is great to have such a guru at my side and at everyone elses who really want to get serious and share their passion for life.

Everyone is important....Imagine....what would the world be without you.......different.

Breathe in Your Life

2007-10-29T23:43:00.001-04:00

Take a deep breath. There...you just lived a positive moment.
How many of those breaths do you take in a day. Let's do the math together. The average of 20 breaths per minute we take so that means 1,200 breaths per hour. Wow...that means I have 28,800 possible, positive moments in the day. You see it is imposible to think a negative thought when you take a deep breath. What if I took an extra one now and then. Would that make a difference in my life. Of course it would because we center ourselves by the breath of life. We create our life by the breaths we breathe. Why...because it is exchanging fresh air into every living cell of our body with the old. Ok, let's try this exercise along with the breaths. Every time you take a breath see how many times you can give yourself a pat on the back or a positive affirmation. Do you think you could create a happier life? I know the answer. Why don't you give it a try and write it down in a journal. Maybe it would be the next best seller.

Helping a four legged friend

2007-10-22T21:27:00.000-04:00

....cross the street. No one can tell me one can't communicate with an animal. Tonight I saw a beautiful creature get hit by a car. Deer are plentiful where I live in the suburbs. In fact, I saw this young bucks mother and sister as I drove out of my driveway. The buck of about one year broke his leg. I could tell because the bone was sticking out of his right hind leg. I stopped to call the police and didn't move so traffic wouldn't be so brazen as to scare this little creature further. Once it got into the middle of the road, I pulled up and stared at it and encouraged it to go to the other side in the grass. Yes...my heart was so wrenched with the pain and frustration this deer was under I started to talk to it. We stared at each other and I just fell in love with the look on his eyes. Yes a different type of love story. One that ended with him going to the other side flopping his body. I pulled up again next to him so he wouldn't cross another street. The police came and told me to move. Pop.
I sponstaneously screamed, though I know it was inevitable for his fate to be shot. As I drove home I cried. This deer pleaded and communicated with me to have his misery ended. When I reached to the top of my driveway his sister was there I know waiting for me.
She didn't run away...just looked at me as if to say thank you for being with her brother, then walked away. Does this sound a little crazy? Maybe so. But I would encourage anyone to take the moment today and appreciate the wonderful creation around you. You will learn much about their life and your own heart. They will teach you what you need to learn, if you let them.

The Riches of Life

2007-10-10T22:27:00.000-04:00

Time has flown by since the last time of sharing. Wow..wonder of wonders when your life is full of wonderful people, wonderful places to go. Taking time to look at people. When was the last time you did that? Flying back and forth from PA to CA has given me alot of time to do that. Waiting in the A or B line of Southwest, sitting next to people who are open to talk about anything. Listening to what is important to them and just cherishing that with them. Isn't that what we all want? Connectiveness to each other in the big wonderful world we live in? That's one of my treasures of life that make me rich.

Friends with a Gift

2007-10-03T02:04:00.000-04:00

I received a phone call from CA today, from a friend who just wanted to say hello...Jerry Hart from www.hartmarketing.com. We chatted over our teleclass we had last week and was just simply enjoying the time. Received another phone call this evening from a friend,
Pamela from www.pamelaharper.com. We chatted about the future and the exciting things in our lives. Just simple loving chat.

I received 2 wonderful gifts of great importance. Both gave their time and love. It was awesome to me.

In this world that goes so fast...have you stopped to give a little of your love and friendship to someone. You know, you can put a smile on someone's face and bring him/her good health.

Why not try at least once a week calling a friend just because. Just because you care day. That sounds like a National Holiday in the making to me.

Did you ever wait in line....

2007-10-01T21:31:00.001-04:00

at the airport and someone get in front of you? What do you do?
It was quite amusing today as I observed mankind pick at each other as to whom was in the A line, B line, and C line. Southwest airlines has a wonderful system of equality. Anyone can sit anywhere depending on how quick they confirm and get in a line. But then there are the Line Busters. It is amusing watching people explore different types of diplomacy to get what they want. The coveted prize of being first on the plane. To this day I haven't seen one given out yet. If you are the first one on...you get to watch everyone glare at you for pushing or camping out with your thermous, food and portable suitcase seats. Too funny. I have to commend Southwest Airlines as the stewards and stewardesses are the most easy going, friendly people around. They have a true nack for holding at bay anyone that tries to spoil the fun of flying. But what is the prize for being first?
We are all going the same direction. We are all flying at the same speed. What is it in human nature that compels such a competition? Does anyone know?

Dance with your Dream

2007-09-20T00:15:00.000-04:00

I just spent a mere 10 minutes with Pamela Harper of www.universityofmasters.com, Thursday night Success Mentoring group.Yes, it is noteworthy. It is always noteworthy to spend time with her. Why...you are always inspired. She can make one comment about anything and it can take your mind to a place of turning possibilities into reality. That is what happened to me tonight.What a way to top off an incredible day that I danced with all day.

Did you know you can dance with your dreams. Yea...so cool that you can feel, and be as free as a butterfly. Such an amazing creature.

So, what do you dance to or with. Does it give you the deep satisfaction, thrill of life you desire, all the time?

My day was a perfect example of making an intention to be totally me..and having the years, and at the same time the moment, come into one focal point of purpose. What was that? The creation of peace, health and prosperity in an individual I was meeting with.

WOW...

Did you dance with your WOW today? I hope so. Whether you think you did or not. Give yourself a hug....because you know.. you are the WOW. (Wonder of Wonders)

In Memory

2007-09-12T00:10:00.000-04:00

9/11 just past. The day we remember that changed the lives of the entire planet. As I prepared for my flight home, on 9/10, I buckled my seat belt and went to turn off my phone reminding me of that day. Thoughts poured into my mind of: this is what many of those passengers did, they called their family one last time, and they quietly sat in their seats just waiting for the plane to take off from a busy airport to get to their next appointment. Sobering. That could of been me or any one of us.

My thoughts then turned to think of the incredible courage to face the terror, and for their families that have kept us remembering such sacrifice. None of us really knows what happened those last few minutes or seconds. We have learned so much of ourselves as individuals and as a nation. With respect and honor to them, if we listen real close to the unseen, I believe we could hear what is still being said: ..."Live in peace,...Live in love,...one to another."

Preventative Care

2007-09-11T00:29:00.000-04:00

Time to put a little physical thought on this blog.

Just learned about an acquainance who has ovarian cancer the size of a football inside. Wow. Sobering news as she is only in her 50's.

Our body talks to us every day of our lives. Have you tuned into it's frequency yet? I know a incredible radio announcer that would be the perfect voice inside to announce what needs our body has. His voice is incredibly energetic and forward speaking. It's a voice that this woman needed.

So many in her group of friends just shun off the thought and action of taking care of their body. Man it's the only one we have for now. Why don't people heed the holistic information out there in preventative care? Why do we continue to look the other way and not honor our body's requests.

One of my theories is that we are as a society addicted to the medical model of taking care of our body. Addicted to the co-pays, addicted to the almighty doctor who is fed information through a funnel that only treats the symptoms.

I believe my theory is in a large way true. Just on my way to the airport a young man driving the shuttle was verbalizing his frustration over the way medicine treats you. For example not educating the patients on the side effects of medicine. In his case he was suffering from constipation. The doctor gave him some fiber...not a bad joice. One mistake...didn't tell him to increase his water intake. Result more constipation more pain.

Is that the word to describe it all...constipated minds?

Share your thoughts...because what you say is important.

Life goes on..

2007-09-10T05:01:00.000-04:00

because a precious woman cares. I received an incredible gift today. It was a gift from a woman I never met before except over the phone. She holds teleclasses on www.universityofmasters.com.
In case you don't know about this place...it's a place to get educated with open minded people of the world. Check it out my friends and readers. I had sponsored Arvee Robinson in the National Lymphoma Society's LA Marathon and currently do for her future runs. Arvee Robinson is an internationally known speaker.
Need some help speaking? www.passionatelyspeaking.com . Awesome presentation. She gives her heart and thrill for speaking in such a duplicateable way. She spoke at a free event sponsored by the CEO of University of Masters, Pamela Harper this weekend.

The gift she gave me....the joy of having my father's name on the back of her shirt. My dad passed almost three years to the day from non-Hodgekin's lymphoma. He was a brave man who fought the disease for years over expectancy. Well he lives in my heart still of course, and now he is honored on a shirt of a woman who carries on the memory of life and the fight for life of those affected, her brother, and my dad. Life is good with the great company you keep. Run, Arvee, run with the power of love my dad and your brother has. Thanks for keeping my father's memory in your passion.

Learning from the Masters

2007-09-09T02:37:00.000-04:00

Out in CA traveled from PA just to be around the most loving, forward thinking people on the planet. My good friends at University of Masters and Jerry Hart from Hart Creative Marketing just loaded me up with some information to explode my business to the universe.

This blogging deal is a step by step process. Where in the universe have I been to wait this long to start it. Well, I am ready and the teachers are here.

What does this have to do with Wellness? Are you open to step over the chasm like Harrison Ford in his movie Raiders of the Lost Ark? When there wasn't any possible place to put a foot except thin air, he takes the step of courage to find that a rope bridge appears for him to safely cross and get the Holy Grail.

The state of your spiritual and mental wellness will determine whether or not you will choose taking that step into a journey to deepen and prosper your life. Having the feeling of being a rut just a few years ago I started taking baby steps. Chris Gardner stated.."Baby Steps Count too" in his book "The Pursuit of HappYness". Then a year down the road I met the right people to be able to take quantum leaps into an incredible world of peace and health in my life. Wow..I did it. I did it because I found I had lots of help from the seen and unseen world.

Now, I'm learning how to give ME over the internet. I said Yes. You know, Yes is a powerful word. Have you tried it to create more in your world? How did it work for you?

Jewels....In Your Life

2007-09-06T21:52:00.000-04:00

Every person you meet and have a relationship with is a jewel.

I just spent an hour with the infamous Jerry Hart, Alice andMark.p They are precious jewels that sparkle in the universe of love and peace we all are creating.

Take a moment folks. Look at the person sitting next to you or laying in your bed sleeping while you read this. Notice their sparkle. What is their unique quality. Did you find it? Can I give you some cybershades to lesson the glare?

Creating the life you desire with every beat of your heart comes about by being conscious in the moment you are in with the wonderful people that surround you.

I love jewelry, especially rings. A ring surrounds your specially created finger with a purpose. It hugs you, it sparkles light into your eyes.

Hey...that sounds like you....Thanks for sparkling my world with love and peace...my friends.

Tis the Season...

2007-09-03T21:21:00.000-04:00

for fall refreshing!

There are different points of the year for renewing our daily lives, and September lends itself as one of the months. With the celebration of the children returning to school and the new season of fall, we all seem to get in a new groove of activity.

Today I spent the official last day of summer vacation at a horse show. I love to watch the beauty of a horse doing all that the rider directs it to do with just a little touch of pressure. It's amazing to see the physique of a horse in perfect sync with the rider accomplishing all that it must do to finish the event. It all happens with the relationship between the horse and rider.

Thinking then about my daily life as a Mother, Wellness Coach/Mentor, R.N., a Friend to others that same type of rhythm occurs for the richness and beauty of life to just explode. I don't know if I'm the horse or rider sometimes but it is all fun. It's fun because of a decision I've made not to do anything I really don't want to do. Life synchronizes itself around the relationships built on a daily basis

Try doing that for a week. Only do what you really love to do. How does it feel? For me, it feels like I'm getting great big hugs from people all around me and they don't even know it. Your relationships will grow richer too.

So in bringing wellness into your life, may I suggest that as a practice of loving yourself...do only what you love to do. I bet you'll be smiling!

Being GRATEFUL...

for the health you have and can create. Part of the Holistic model of health is that we must become a committed, active partner in the healing process.

So what do you do when the doctor's not around. Go and buy out the pharmacy of anti-inflammatories and creams? Dennis Jaffe, PhD has some wonderful suggestions on "SEVEN THINGS TO DO WHEN THE DOCTOR's NOT AROUND." Today I'll list them. In the coming days we'll discuss them. I invite you to chime in and give us all your experiences or thoughts.

1. Inform yourself.

2. Make your body receptive to healing.

3. Listen to your body.

4. Visualize yourself healthy.

5. Face up to psychological stresses.

6. Work on your personal relationships.

7. Create your future.

Take a moment now....did you give yourself a hug today? If not...wrap your arms around yourself and say "I love you". Do it again for me.

Take charge...Love and Forgive yourself.

Giving back..........

today what was given to me.

Living life to give to others like you were given to at particular points in your life gives a deep connection to human kind. It certainly gives a sparkle to your purpose.

This weekend I spent the time helping a friend move. The only friend of mine that was interested in helping me move into a home almost a year ago. During that time of my life I was finishing settling my parents estate as both of them had died the previous year. Emotionally it felt soooooo good to have someone care for me.

This friend helped me clean the toilets, the cupboards that we found mice stuff in. A true friend only does that type of work for you. We had fun, we laughed at the enormous job I had before me. Then the magic occured...the job became smaller and manageable.

Now, my special friend is in a crunch situation. Settling a house for herself and needing help in a move. What a privilege it was. I was overcome by gratitude to the fulfillment of my desire to give back to her the love and concern to her highest good at this time in her life.

My heart was warmed, my joy bubbled within. My soul was fulfilled this weekend.

In turn...look around you everyday for those moments to bathe your soul with gratitude. Give to those that cross your path a precious part of you that only you can give. I guarantee that your entire body will love you for it.

I was struck by lightning.

There wasn't a drop of rain or a dark cloud in the sky. The clock struck 8pm est and a flash of light and energy came in the form of Jerry Hart. Over the phone in his teleconference from University of Masters, one has to be willing to stand in a field of dreams for the Master of Marketing to ignite your business mind. Well, because I hold nothing back to grow my purpose in life I take the challenge.

Jerry's energy can cause ants to march across his desk in search of their purpose. This man has the answers. Ever have questions you never thought you had until someone gave you the answers? This man will bring your heart and soul to surface and then.....he will ask you to hold onto it and blast it all over the world?

Me...blast my purpose all over the world? Everyone can see me?
Everyone can hear me? Everyone can touch my heart and I touch theirs? WOW. I just learned I am in touch with the Universe!

Connection....don't know the meaning? Just call Jerry.

Thanks to you, Jerry, the world is my friend. They know it and so do I.

As a trauma nurse I have seen what one looks like when they are struck by lightning. It's not pretty. It doesn't feel good. One doesn't have the energy to do much of anything.

As a mother, I was running one day with my little one to the car in a huge rain storm. Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the tin can minivan we were running to and bounced to hit the ground between the six inches between my feet. I felt very lucky.

Today, I had a lightning bolt strike the six inches between my ears. In contrast, I have the knowledge, energy, vitality to take on the universe. I feel lucky. To your credit, Jerry, because of your lightning strike.

TO EVERYONE's HEALTH-WEALTH-PROSPERITY........GO FOR IT!
