Rickie Lee Jones skyrocketed to fame in 1979 when as a barely known artist she appeared on Saturday Night Live. Performing her biggest hit “Chuck E’s In Love” in her trademark red beret, Time Magazine instantly dubbed her “the Duchess of Coolsville.” Since then she has gone on to win two Grammy Awards, appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone twice, and included in VH1’s 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll.

WHOLE AGAIN: NEW BOOK FROM THE AUTHOR OF PSYCHOPATH FREE

Whole Again: Healing Your Heart and Rediscovering Your True Self After Toxic Relationships and Emotional Abuse

This author "Peace" wrote the fabulous book Psychopath Free. When I encountered a seriously dark entity some years back. This book saved me. If you too need help detoxing from the highly toxic people in your life, get these books today!! xK

From the Author:

I am so excited to share Whole Again with the world, and I am beyond grateful for all of the friends and professionals who made it a reality.

At the end of my last book, I described a “tight feeling in my heart”. It wasn’t painful or sharp, just a constant numb squeezing sensation. All day, every day, from the moment I woke up to the second I fell asleep.

I've since learned that I wasn't alone. Trauma often manifests as strange sensations in the body: numbness, tightness, emptiness, voids, hollowness, tension, blockages, agitation.

Along with these mysterious feelings, there tend to be a bunch of psychological and behavioral changes too: people-pleasing, self-doubt, fatigue, accomplishing, perfectionism, mood swings, isolation, over analysis, insomnia, rejection, depression, guilt, excessive daydreaming, irritability, jealousy, inadequacy, worthlessness, need for control, resentment, paranoia, rumination, care-taking, substance abuse... The list goes on, and it's unique to every individual.

We may struggle to trust ourselves, fall in love, or experience genuine happiness. Instead, a protective part of ourselves has taken control, to ensure this pain never happens again. Love becomes conditional, waiting for others to show their cards before we show our own. Identity and personality become shaky constructs, kept afloat by external measures of worth. In these cases, time does not seem to heal all wounds.

One of the most frequent phrases I hear from readers is: “I miss my old self.” As if the old self has gone away.

And that's why I've written this book.

I think there is a part in all of us that feels love and joy for no particular reason — the life energy that surges through our bodies — allowing us to feel light, free, humorous, grateful, whole.

Throughout the course of life, certain events "disconnect" us from that source — childhood traumas, difficult relationships, rejection from loved ones, it really could be anything. And when we're "disconnected" from this source, we're bound to struggle over and over again. Our inner world is damaged, and it distracts us with a never-ending quest for external solutions.

But I keep putting "disconnected" in quotes because the true self didn't actually go anywhere. It is not fractured, it is not broken, it is not destroyed.

There is a way back to this bliss, and as my heart began to open this year, I felt compelled to share what I've learned (and where I've stumbled) in a new book. Written in the same conversational tone as my first book, my goal is to explore how our minds and bodies work to protect us — so we can release old wounds and safely let the love back inside where it belongs.

KIMMER'S FAVORITE CHRISTMAS GIFTS 2018

NAKED 1 EYESHADOW PALETTE (ON SALE NOW 27.00!!)

I truly love Urban Decay Eyeshadows! They are the best and I have used all kinds of name brand shadows before. They do not compare... Naked 1 is a series of browns which normally I would be more inclined to silver gray and smoke colors. 

Some years ago I saw this palette on Facebook and wrote about how much I wanted to have it. One of my readers sent it to me! 

Though my favorites are used up I still use it. My friend Dennis gave me money for any gift I wanted and I zoomed over to Urban Decay's Official page.

They have new Palettes now but I still love the first one. To my great surprise, they are phasing it out... Good news though! They still have some on sale for 27.00 USD. Go get one while they last!

THOSE GORGEOUS PINK FLAMINGOS!

Flamingos or flamingoes are a type of wading bird in the family Phoenicopteridae. Four flamingo species are distributed throughout the Americas, including the Caribbean, and two species are native to Africa, Asia, and Europe.

The name "flamingo" comes from Portuguese or Spanish Flamengo, "flame-colored", in turn coming from Provençal flamenc from flama "flame" and Germanic-like suffix -ing, with a possible influence of words like "Fleming".

Flamingos usually stand on one leg while the other is tucked beneath their bodies. The reason for this behavior is not fully understood. One theory is that standing on one leg allows the birds to conserve more body heat, given that they spend a significant amount of time wading in cold water.

A well-fed, healthy flamingo is more vibrantly colored, thus a more desirable mate; a white or pale flamingo, however, is usually unhealthy or malnourished.

Flamingos filter-feed on brine shrimp and blue-green algae as well as larva, small insects, mollusks and crustaceans making them omnivores. Their bills are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down.

Flamingos are very social birds; they live in colonies whose population can number in the thousands. These large colonies are believed to serve three purposes for the flamingos: avoiding predators, maximizing food intake, and using scarcely suitable nesting sites more efficiently.

Young flamingos hatch with greyish-red plumage, but adults range from light pink to bright red due to aqueous bacteria and beta-carotene obtained from their food supply.

Flamingos are capable flyers, and flamingos in captivity often require wing clipping to prevent escape.

HISTORY OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE: CRANBOOK SERIES

ARE NATURAL HUMAN GROWTH HORMONES WORTH TAKING?

Are Natural Human Growth Hormones Worth Taking?

The level of human growth hormone (HGH) we have in our bodies decline as we age, which some people believe leaves us vulnerable to weight gain and muscle mass loss, so replacing these hormones artificially helps to rejuvenate bodies and improve the range of things we can do.

Of course, there are also people who claim we shouldn’t interfere with nature, that there must be a reason why HGH levels start to drop. So the question has to be – are natural human growth hormones really worth taking?

What is human growth hormone?
The pituitary gland is responsible for producing this hormone naturally, and it is quickly converted by the liver into different growth factors which work to promote cell growth and good health throughout the body. Since the 1980s the FDA has approved the use of synthetic HGH in adults and children.

For serovital reviews head over to Diet Dynamo to learn more.

The benefits of taking human growth hormones
There are two ways to use HGH, in small doses it is said to aid recovery after serious illness, improve general health and help fuel anti-ageing therapies and treatments, while more substantial doses help boost weight loss and strengthen muscles.

Stronger limbs
Improving physical abilities is a key benefit as this doesn’t apply only to athletes, but benefits ordinary people who struggle to maintain muscle mass and enter a vicious circle of inactivity leading to weakness.

Faster healing
Fractured bones are a major hazard for older people, so it’s exciting to learn that human growth hormone can help bones heal faster by stimulating its growth. Similar good effects are reported on various wounds and injuries, with faster healing taking place across many controlled studies.

Increased weight loss
Combining a sensible calorie controlled diet with HGH seems to boost the rate fat is lost and support the retention of muscle. Men who suffer from extra weight and fat around their middle have also been seen to get great results on reducing this by using HGH.

Better bone strength
As human growth hormone exists in part to make and strengthen bone mass, it’s not much of a surprise to learn that as our body’s natural levels decrease with age so does the risk of breaking a bone. Therefore there are lots of benefits to taking HGH and strengthening bones in later life.

Improved mood and thinking
Everyone deserves to feel happy and contented and to have calm and clear thoughts, but unfortunately, some people struggle to achieve these things on a regular basis simply due to their biology letting them down. Treatment with HGH had been shown to make a real difference to both mood and thinking ability in people who had low levels in their body.

Final Words
These are just some of the many benefits taking natural human growth hormones can offer those who have lower levels than average in their body. Ageing will inevitably mean these decrease, so taking steps to supplement HGH is very sensible.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019!
