The Durham Report-Some Thoughts

The Durham Report-Some Thoughts

The Durham Report.

Did you hear about it?

Did you read any of it?

Well, I have, and I did. I am sharing some facts and thoughts about what it uncovered.

And I am inviting you to join me in becoming an informed American.

These things matter. Unless well educate ourselves about what is going on in American politics we will pay a high price.

This is not about us and them or Democrat versus Republican. This is about the policies and intentions of our current administration and those of the folks running for President of the United States in 2024. It is not a personality contest. It must be about policies and how the polices of the elected President have and will affect our lives and our country.

Please educate yourself. Do the research. Determine for yourself what is best for you and your loved ones.

Do not put your head in the sand and believe every talking head in the media.

Do You Know What Is Going On At The Southern Border. Here Are Some Facts

Do You Know What Is Going On At The Southern Border. Here Are Some Facts

The southern border of the United States is a mess. Do you know the facts about what is going on with illegal immigrants entering our country? If you don't you should because it's not good. If you are okay with the millions of illegals who have entered our country since 2020, this episode is not for you. If you don't know what is going on or if you are concerned, listen to this episode.

In my humble opinion we are on the brink of disaster if we don't get a handle on securing the border. The wide-open border has led to drug overdoses, child rape trafficking, child labor, unmanageable circumstances in many of our cities, and possible terrorist entering our country. Nothing about an open border has made the United States better.

The question is, what is the downside of a secure border?

Let me know your thoughts.

The TRUTH About Happiness

The TRUTH About Happiness

You can have flaws, be anxious, and even angry, but do not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust. Many appreciate you, admire you and love you.

Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments.

To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in discord. It is not only to enjoy the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness. It is not only to celebrate the successes, but to learn lessons from the failures. It is not only to feel happy with the applause, but to be happy in anonymity.

To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny’s author. It is to cross deserts, yet be able to find an oasis in the depths of your soul. It is to thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life.

Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings. It is having the courage to hear a “no”. It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when unjustified. It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic moments with friends, even when they hurt us. To be happy is to let live the creature that lives in each of us, free, joyful and simple.

It is to have the maturity to be able to say: “I made mistakes”. It is to have the courage to say “I am sorry”. It is to have the sensitivity to say, “I need you”. It is to have the ability to say “I love you”.

May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness. That in spring may it be a lover of joy. In winter, a lover of wisdom. And when you make a mistake, start all over again. For only then will you be in love with life.

You will find that to be happy is not to have a perfect life. But use the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your mistakes to sculpt serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence.

Never give up. Never give up on people who love you. Never give up on happiness, for life is an incredible show.

The Way of the Warrior

The Way of the Warrior

November Theme:  TRUTH - The Way of the Warrior

Today has been set aside to remember the men and women who have sacrificed their lives so that you and I can continue to enjoy the vast freedoms afforded us as Americans. The following words were appropriate to recognize those who have fought for this great country of ours.  Author Unknown.

I see through different eyes.
I see a bigger picture when others see grey skies.
Though many can't conceive it,
I stand...facing the wind.
My bravery not from fighting,
but from my strength within,
I am a Warrior.
I will walk the extra mile,
Not because I have to,
But because it's worth my while.
I know that I am different,
When I am standing on a crowded street.
I know the fullness of winning;
I've tasted the cup of defeat.
I am a Warrior.
They say walk with ease
Though trained for bodily harm,
My intentions are for peace.
The world may come and go,
But a different path I'll choose.
A path I will not stray from,
No matter...win or lose.

With over 30 years of experience as a registered nurse, and nearly 20 years of owning and operating Verona Court, for Arda, healthcare still remains personal.

Post-Pandemic Investor Perspectives with Kimberly Guha

Post-Pandemic Investor Perspectives with Kimberly Guha

In May 2020, UBS Investor Watch surveyed investors as the first wave of the pandemic was ebbing. In their report, “Setting a new course,” they found that investors were fearful, uncertain, and reassessing what was most important to them.

Fast forward to today, with vaccinations accelerating, commerce recovering, and restrictions loosening, the current UBS research shows a reprioritizing of goals—and a more acute sense that life is short.

But rather than indiscriminate spending and frenzied celebrations, the hallmarks of this post-pandemic recovery will likely be more measured—and more meaningful.

To be sure, many investors intend to make up for lost time, led by those in Asia. Nearly six in 10 investors want to indulge in the things they missed while in isolation, with travel and entertainment topping the list of planned expenditures.

But something else is going on.

Seven in 10 investors want to make more of a difference in the world. Six in 10 report that the pandemic made them more spiritual. Forty percent say they want to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Digging deeper, we found that women and younger investors were most affected by the pandemic. Women were more likely than men, for example, to reassess their priorities. And by a huge margin, younger investors value making a difference in the world (79% vs. 51% of investors over age 50).

With this new perspective, investors are more interested in using their capital to effect change—nearly half plan to increase charitable giving from their pre-pandemic levels, led by Latin America. And almost 60% are more interested in investing sustainably than they were before the pandemic.

As a global recovery continues to advance, look not just for hotels and stadiums to fill up, but hearts and minds too.

My guest, Kimberly Guha, joins me to dive deeper into this research and to review the best way to prepare to be a strategic investor.

Kimberly Guha, CPA®, CIMA® is a Certified Financial Planner® and Accredited Wealth Management Advisor℠ with Taylor Family Wealth Management at UBS, who focuses on providing tax-aware investment solutions tailored to each family’s individual financial goals. Kim works with many executive women and families to focus on what is important to them both qualitatively and quantitatively, helping them ascertain their life and financial goals. She believes strongly in the importance of educating the next generations to use value systems that maximize the impact of human, social, intellectual and financial capital. She provides honest advice, thoughtful guidance, and responsive support, earning the trust and respect of clients.

The True Power of Manifestation with Daniel Mangena

After receiving a late diagnosis of Asperger's and experiencing life-shattering trauma at age 20, Daniel spent seven years struggling to keep the effects of these events from spilling into every aspect of his life.

Daniel initially developed Beyond Intention as a lifeline while he grappled with suicidal thoughts and ideation. This simple, four-step process transformed his life from misery to celebration. Daniel realized he could help others do the same, and thus Beyond Intention was born.

Daniel discovered a path to lasting joy and purpose in his life, and he wants nothing more than to share the tools that saved his life. To that end, he lives by this mission statement:

"Spearhead an evolutionary uplift in universal consciousness by awakening people to the importance of their Unique Role already encoded within. This deep and often ignored or undervalued passion is defined as their Dream."

Daniel shares his vision of empowerment and joy globally through public speaking, workshops, books he has authored, blogging, and his "Do it With Dan" podcast series. In addition, Daniel offers individual and group coaching and consultations.

Daniel is also a voracious reader, publicly documenting his challenge to read a book every week. He loves to travel, writes, and performs as a singer-songwriter, practices Kundalini yoga, meditation and stays active with Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He is an outspoken promoter of entrepreneurial philanthropy, as well as an ambassador for the Mangena Foundation. He works with several charities across the globe and considers himself a patron of many.

Delia was born and raised in a tiny town in rural Iowa.  She admits that she was blessed with a great upbringing and a relatively normal childhood.  However, when she left her small world of familiarity and headed to college, she had to endure some tough experiences that wreaked havoc on her self-esteem and left her confused about who she really was.

Vital Blends CBD products with Kelly Fanale, Founder

Vital Blends CBD products with Kelly Fanale, Founder

Our story dates back to 2014 when my daughter Courtney started experiencing debilitating, nearly paralyzing hip pain.

She was misdiagnosed with Sciatica for 5 months. By mid-March of 2015, she could not walk, so her doctor ordered an X-Ray, MRI, and CT Scan, which revealed she had Avascular Necrosis of the right hip.

This condition required her to have multiple hip-preservation surgeries throughout the next 2 years, as well as hydrotherapy, hyperbaric chamber treatments, physical and occupational therapy, and Exogen™ bone stimulation. It was a nightmare, as one can imagine!

This is where our journey began. I searched for a variety of CBD products effective for pain management. I vetted 15 different companies’ products to identify the formulas that worked best. Through this process, I learned that not all CBD products are created equally in terms of quality, efficacy, lab testing, and affordability.

Then I met my manufacturer. After one application of CBD-infused Celadrin™ Cream (a pain balm), Courtney felt nearly instant relief. We didn’t know it then, but that cream ended up saving her life.

Within just ten days, she was able to discontinue taking her pain medication, replacing it with a steady regimen of CBD-infused tinctures and pain balms.

Her mind was clear again; she was excited about her recovery, and we both felt like she had been given a completely new lease on life.

This led us to conduct further research. We quickly discovered how effective CBD products could be and how much they were helping others with different ailments/conditions, most notably, neurological conditions such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s, in addition to arthritis, nerve, and joint pain.

We knew we had stumbled upon something incredible and couldn’t wait to share it with the world. Courtney and I decided to turn this into our life’s work.

We wanted to help other people find the same kind of life-altering relief that she had experienced, which led us to the creation of Vital Blends.

Rockin the Ages with Anita Mahaffey, Founder of Cool-Jams

Rockin the Ages with Anita Mahaffey, Founder of Cool-Jams

Anita Mahaffey is a wife, mother, and serial entrepreneur.  She founded Cool-jams in 2007 at the age of 50.  Her goal is to help people sleep better.  As a three-time survivor of cancer, she speaks about inner beauty versus outer beauty and the importance of accepting oneself and other as they are.  Listen to what she has to say about Rockin the Ages.

"My motivation to start Cool-jams in 2007 was because I was having terrible sleep problems. I tried so many brands of sleepwear and couldn’t find anything to help me to stay cool, dry, and temperature regulated. The more I talked to other men and women with the same issues, the more I understood that I was on to something. As a textile expert, I knew there had to be a better way to sleep if I could just develop some fabrics that would help wick moisture, eliminate temperature swings, and dry rapidly. It was a tall order because I was not only concerned about developing a smart fabric to help me sleep better, but I wanted great looking products as well. After several years of research & development, I found the Cool-jams solution and was ready to launch."  -Anita Mahaffey

Episode 4: Katie Mallinson, Functional Nutrition Expert - Great Advice on Nutritional Supplements

Episode 4: Katie Mallinson, Functional Nutrition Expert - Great Advice on Nutritional Supplements

Common Questions around supplements: 1. Why is there so much confusion around supplements a. Conflicting, misquoted, or poor quality research– we must dig into the data! i. Vitamin E, alpha-d-tocopherol in isolation vs. in combination with d- gamma-tocopherol. ii. Beta-Carotene: smokers (accelerated DNA damage) vs. non-smokers, heavy alcohol drinkers (hepatotoxicity).

b. Each person is unique, and we have to put the data into the context of the complex person in front of us!

2. My friend’s trainer/friend/family member recommended x, should I take it also? 3. How do I know if a supplement is working or I’m taking a supplement, and I don’t notice a change? a. DOSE and TYPE matter! E.g., Magnesium glycinate, threonate, citrate, oxide b. Loading period: glucosamine + Chondroitin – 6 months until we see results. 4. Can’t I get everything through my diet? a. Food-system and growing inconsistencies b. High toxic burden c. Inconsistent dietary patterns or limited diversity 5. Can I take X and eat what I want? NO! You cannot out-supplement a bad diet! a. Progressions: add Turmeric, Ginger, Black pepper for general anti-inflammatory properties. Dealing with acute or chronic inflammation? Consider supplemental curcumin + BioPerine (both are active ingredients of turmeric & black pepper) at therapeutic dose. Again, we must consider the unique individual. Curcumin has blood-sugar-lowering properties. High doses may be contraindicated in specific populations.

Three main questions (and sub-questions) to ask yourself when thinking about supplements: 1. What is the goal/desired outcome you hope to gain from the supplement? a. Is this for general wellness or targeted nutritional therapy? b. What is the health status of the person, and are there any contraindications? 2. What is the appropriate type of supplement? a. Does the form of the supplement match the indicated use? Examples Magnesium, Curcumin, or zinc. b. Is this the most effective supplement to reach the desired outcome from question #1. c. Are there additional co-factors or considerations that need to be taken into account?

3. Is the dose and timeline for supplementation adequate to meet the desired outcome?

a. E.g., fish oil, Glucosamine + Chondroitin, and Vitamin C.

Guidelines for Supplementation: 1. Diet first! You cannot out supplement a bad diet. 

2. Not all supplements are created equal 

3. Dose matters 

4. Consult a licensed professional

Episode 3: Katie Mallinson, Functional Nutrition Expert - What Eating Plan Is Best For You?

Episode 3: Katie Mallinson, Functional Nutrition Expert - What Eating Plan Is Best For You?

What Eating Plan is Best for You? Join Katie and me and learn about the various eating plans available and how to find out what is best for you.

1. 2020 Resolutions - reflect upon 2019 and any resolutions you may have set as asking yourself: what went well and why? What didn't and why? What can I do differently?

2. Diets: Before diving into specific diets, let's talk a little bit about how food serves us as individuals and why there is so much confusion about what to eat.

3. Now let's dive into specific diets Ketogenic Diet: High-fat diet, between 80-90% of calories coming from fat Intermittent Fasting: restricted periods of eating and fasting. Popular - time-restricted eating (16:8) or 5:2 diet Gluten-Free: complete elimination of gluten-containing foods like wheat, barley, rye. Plant-based: high consumption of plants based foods, e.g., vegetables, legumes, grains, etc. Diet may or may not contain animal products. Vegan: 100% plant-based diet. complete elimination of animal products. 4. Do you recommend or caution the use of any of these diets?

5. How does a person figure out what is the best diet for them, and what are some things that they should be looking out for? Any recommendation for specific age groups? What about weight loss?

Key Takeaways:

1. Track your food and how it impacts your body. We need to create awareness about the choices we make and how they affect our bodies and our health. 2. You need to EAT to LOSE weight. If you starve your body, you will not build muscle. Your body will go into preservation mode and hold onto fat. 3. If something isn't working for you, STOP DOING it. Find something new. Be curious and ask questions. Be mindful of confirmation bias. 4. SOCIAL MEDIA is often stronger than science. Don't be afraid to follow the sources back to the original research.
