My Hummingbird Cafe

We live in chaotic times:

• with threats of terrorist attacks
• with concern of terrorists contaminating our food and water supplies
• with wars going on around the world that affect our economy,
• with the threat of the dollar crashing and the economy collapsing
• with the threat of nuclear weapons from the Middle East
• with talk of food shortages
• it just makes perfect sense to have store food and water as well as emergency supplies.

Your family depends on you to take care of them and being prepared for the dangerous times ahead is one way you can fulfill your obligation to them.

This is an email that I received from AsAMom.org. Perhaps you will use the information and pass it along to your friends. I highly recommend you join this organization. Women can make a huge difference in the world today if they will activate themselves to protect their families.

As A Mom… A Sisterhood of Mommy Patriots A message to all members of As A Mom… Homemakers for America and As A Mom… would like to invite you to join us for the 2010 Remember the Ladies Banquet being held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C. on Friday, September 10th in conjunction with the Liberty XPO & Symposium, and 9-12 March on D.C. Come make history with us as we honor the great ladies who contributed so much to the founding of our nation while inspiring a whole new generation of women to take their place on the front lines of freedom. In 1776 in a letter to her husband, Abigail Adams urged him to “remember the ladies.”  Abigail, like her husband John, was devoted to the cause of freedom.  Her service, dedication and passion for her country are the inspiration behind the Abigail Adams Project and this exceptional event. The Remember the Ladies Banquet is an opportunity for patriots to gather together to learn about our history and heritage, and  to recognize our considerable accomplishments and influence in society.  Abigail Adams once stated, “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.”  The Remember the Ladies Banquet provides a relaxing, enjoyable atmosphere where we can share experiences, foster friendships and learn how to become actively involved as citizens—without sacrificing our families! Benjamin Rush stated, “The women of America have at last become principals in the glorious American controversy. Their opinions alone and their transcendent influence in society and families must lead us on to success and victory.” Abigail Adams, and so many courageous women like her, stood alongside their husbands in forming this great nation. And so it is today as the women lead out, carrying the light of liberty, and the beacon of truth.  We are the hope of America.  The fate of our nation is in our hands.  What we know and what we teach our children will make all the difference. Get your tickets now at https://secure.donationreport.com/productlist.html?key=DHSEJC9KKZ6H We hope you will join us on this momentous occasion, as we come together to “Remember the Ladies”.

Safe in Gods Hands Support Line

My friend Brenda is doing a SAFE IN GOD’S HANDS support group. This is the second week. Tonight was very special and we felt a real closeness with each other. We helped someone whose life is in danger and gave her support to be safe. SUPPORT LINE…. 1-712-432-3900…PIN # 647-495 EVERY THURSDAY @ 9:00PM-11:00PM NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE….

DESCRIPTION

The rise of parent abuse has many parents feeling too ashamed to get the help they need. If your teen is violent, don’t minimize the problem. Face it head on.

Perhaps the biggest obstacles to overcoming parent abuse are shame and blame. If your teen is violent (hitting, threatening, intimidating, name-calling, shoving, etc.) it’s tough to even think about getting help because acknowledging or naming the problem is painful.

To make matters worse, once parents that are suffering abuse find the courage to reach out they often do not find the help they need. Instead they find blame; “this is your fault because you are a bad parent.”

It is no wonder that parent abuse – an increasingly common problem – is not often talked about or adequately addressed.

If you are suffering abuse at the hands of your son or daughter, please know this:

You are not alone again. Although the problem isn’t often talked about, it does exist and it is increasingly common. Blaming is not the answer or even a useful response to the problem.

Please join the support line this next week. Even if you are not being abused yourself, you may know someone who is being abused and you can learn how to help her.

If you have a story that you would like to share with our readers, please feel free to share it with us. Tell everyone you know about this superb support group.

I know this beautiful woman who is putting on this group help line and I know the trouble she has been through. I attest with assurance that she is genuine and knows what she is talking about. I know she can help you.

Please send me an email if you plan to attend so I can let her know how many to expect. I am signed up.

Pitfalls Of Payday Lending

I received this important message from AARP that is of interest to most Americans these days. These people are just legal loan sharks. Your chances of coming out on the positive end of such a loan is non-existent. That’s why they risk lending to you. You pay for the risk they take and for those who do not pay back the loan.

With the economy still sluggish and many folks still struggling, there’s one booming industry that’s been taking advantage of many Texans. Our Texas page of April’s AARP Bulletin took a closer look one man’s experience with predatory payday loans: He had never walked into a payday loan shop, but Cleveland Lomas thought it was the right move: It would help him pay off his car and build up good credit in the process. Instead, Lomas ended up paying $1,300 on a $500 loan as interest and fees mounted and he couldn’t keep up. He swore it was the first and only time he’d visit a payday lender. “It’s a complete rip-off,” said Lomas, 34, of San Antonio. “They take advantage of people like me, who don’t really understand all that fine print about interest rates.” Lomas stopped by the AARP Texas booth at a recent event that kicked off a statewide campaign called “500% Interest Is Wrong” urging cities and towns to pass resolutions calling for stricter regulation of payday lenders. Read the rest of the story in the article, “Payday Loan Shops Exploit a Loophole”. Know someone who’s been impacted by predatory payday or auto title lenders? Or have you had a personal experience with these incredibly high interest loans? Let us hear about it. Your story will make a difference. Let your voice be heard!

Sherman Web Design Is Now Open for Business.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to my newest venture. I’ve wanted to do this for some time but was not sure that I was ready. Now that I have 24 domain names and most (if not all) of them are set up as a blog, splash page, or a website of some sort, I should have enough experience.

Please take a moment and check out the site. I am open to good or bad feedback. Tell me if you find a link that doesn’t work or you don’t like the way it comes up on your browser. Perhaps you will choose a domain while visiting my site and host it with me. We can add a wordpress application to it and a traffic booster to help you get great traffic. I have a report on the site that shows you the kind of traffic I get by adding a wordpress application.

The cost is affordable, how about FREE for just helping you add wordpress and some plugins. Or I may charge you $179.99 for minimal work. The charges go up when the work becomes more detailed and complicated but we can discuss that at the time we decide to work together.

Just send me an email and tell me what you need and then we can settle on a fee at that time. At least take a look at getting a domain for as little as $1.99. You can’t miss that bargain deal can you? Just click on the links above for the limited offer or to see Design Examples.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Let me help you, even if it’s for FREE. I would love to assist you.

Sincerely,
Judith Sherman

My friend is in the hospital with brain surgery. The family has set up a great site to help family and friends keep in touch with her recovery and to send her notes by signing her guest book.  The video below explains this wonderful program for families and patients and I thought you might find this information a blessing in your life.

I read a posting from NewsMax.com that they use to promote their CD on Ronald Reagan. I liked some of the points they made about laughter and humor and so I thought I would share the informaiton with you. Do with it as you wish.

Reagan often used humor to inform and to share his insights.

No other President in modern times has that I can remember used humor to capture the attention of the American people like Ronald Reagan did.

During several decades of public service Ronald Reagan used his gift of humor as a tool and a weapon against his adversaries, unlike a lot of politicians who memorize stunt jokes to lighten up and entertain the crowd.

Reagan had true wit and used humor in both public and private occasions. He was a funny man.

Laughter was his way of creating a special warmth, like an electric arc between him and his audience. There’s a lot we can learn from Reagan’s humor.

For those who believe that Ronald Reagan was an icon, NewsMax’s audio program may be good to bring back great memories. For those of you who want to know what Reagan really believed, you’ll find that out also.

Ronald Reagan use Humor to::

to expose big government

to defeat the Evil Empire

to take the Democrats to task

to learn from children

to make light of his deficiencies and weaknesses

to take on the liberal press like Sam Donaldson

to make light of fellow conservatives

to live a happier, smarter life

and much, much more.

We should all be students of how to be a Great Communicator like him and how to use humor to make a point, deflect criticism, defang an enemy, win friends and elections, and influence people worldwide.

I encourage you to learn more about using humor and not be so serious about serious things. I know I can use some tips on how to do this. In case you are interested in getting their CD, here is an order form. Note that they want you to get 4 months of their magazine.

I hope you enjoy the merriment around you this Christmas Season. Please remember the reason for this season and what impact the birth of our Lord has on your life.

What plans have you made for celebrating Christmas this year? Do you plan to spend time with your family, to make connections with people you haven’t seen much of this past year or in years past, or do you plan on doing anything special at all this year?

If you do not believe in Jesus being the Christ, the savior and redeemer of all mankind, then may I ask what do you think of him? Do you believe that there is any real supreme being that governs the universe, or do you believe our life on earth is just an accident with no real meaning?

I ask these questions because I am curious about what people think of the Christmas season. I want to understand why people are so put off by those who believe in Jesus Christ and yet they celebrate the season. These people take holiday pay, they participate in the celebrations, and they participate in gift giving, they even set up a Christmas tree, but they do not believe in the birth of the Lord. I cannot understand participating in Christmas celebrations and all the amenities but they do not believe in the reason for the season.

I ask this, because I am truly wanting to gain an understanding of this phenomenon. I am not asking because I am in judgment of people who do not believe or to start a discussion or an argument. I am truly wanting to understand.

I know why the Jews do not recognize Jesus Christ, but they DO NOT celebrate Christmas. I am NOT talking about Jews, I am talking about people who say they don’t believe in God, in the Savior, or in anything relating to religion, yet they have no problem participating in all the festivities. That, to me, is dishonest. If they celebrate because everybody else does, I can probably accept that position, but not someone claiming to be atheist and yet choosing to celebrate anyway. It seems contradictory to me.

Now, for something more light-hearted. What do you want for Christmas?

• I want people to be more aware of each other’s needs,
• I want Congress to pay closer attention to what the people want instead of what they want.
• I want children to be more respectful of their parents and others.
• I want to live closer to my children and grandchildren.
• I want my book to reach the hands of many more people and have it help them.
• I want my writing to be better.
• I want to be of more service to people and to understand their needs better.
• I want enough money to cover my personal needs and then take whatever I have left (which needs to be enough to be useful) to help people who are not flakes but just gets hit by life. If they can pay it back, then great but if not, then so be it.
• I want my husband to keep treating me as nice as he is this Christmas season.
• I want to have the time, money, and space to paint and have more training and skill to paint what I want to paint.
• I want to have unlimited time to do all the things I want to do without having to fix dinner, clean house, pay bills, answer the phone, run errands, and all the other duties that keep me from doing what I want to do and need to do.

Now that you’ve read all of my wants for Christmas and recognize that none or all of these wishes are unrealistic, as I also recognize, I want you to know that these are the precious desires of my heart. If you could have a magic wand that would give you any of your precious desires of the heart, what would you ask for?

After you make your unrealistic wish list, I would like you to examine it. Ask yourself what this list says about you and who your are inside. Is there anything about what you see something that you would like to change?  If so, how much effort will you put into making a change?

We are entering the first of a new year, a time for making “New Year Resolutions”. I hope you will put the changes you saw on that list and work on it over the year. If you don’t make the changes you want to make, take a look at how much of a change you did make.  If you made any movement at all towards that resolution, then recognize that you have changed. It may not be to the degree that you wanted but at least you have moved towards it and that is good. I applaud you!  Good for you, keep it up!

I hope this next year brings you more of what you want. I also hope this Christmas season will be a blessing to youand your family and friends — and try to keep warm.
