REE HandBook

REE HandBook It amazes me that a few years ago, I pondered at the how the earths elements chart would be useful in my life. A few years ago, however, I was working a job that paid quite well and I was very complacent with my position. And about a year ago that complacency started to wear off. For some unknown reason I began tuning into the WealthTV channel that was included in my cable package with AT&T Uverse. During the few months that I watched that channel, I saw how wealthy people live and actually I received a few tips on stocks to buy. To name a few, Lanthanium, Thulium, and Neodymium. Those Rare Earth Elements also known as Rare Earth Metals are found in countless items we use in our everyday lives. Smartphones, automobiles, gasoline, and pretty much every aspect of technology. Presently, over 75% of our lives is based on technology. Unfortunately,instead of acting on those stock tips, I wallowed in my envy of wealthy people. I made comments about buying houses versus buying islands. And honestly, I can't say that I am physically or mentally able to maintain an island or the wealth that the 1% have acquired for making intelligent transactions with their finances but I would've never imagined how I could've capitalized on that stinking chart that I had to study in junior high school! Thanks to anyone who spent their valuable time reading my blog.

Policy and the Personal - NYTimes.com I truly believe that many religious beliefs(Christianity) play a major rolls in the decline of economic systems. Belief systems were used since the beginning of time to control civilizations and the flow of the economy. I don't want to say the 1% have no belief system or moral code but they do follow the "Narrow Path." Not many travel that road and that's why it's only 1% of them(wealthy). Money can be the root of all evil if you don't know how to manage it or multiply it. In one of Jesus's parables, He referred to a servent as evil because the servent wasn't fruitful with what his master gave him stewardship over. I think it is vital that Americans do their homework on why past economic systems have failed and realize how closely we mimic every aspect of them. A great place to start is the open online history course offered at http://oyc.yale.edu, The Early Middle Ages (284-1000) with Paul Freedmann. This is an informative way to give direction and understanding to why things are the way they are. Don't hate the players, hate the game, and change it!

Happy Birthday America!

The 4th of July is a celebration of the freedom our founders acquired from the British strongholds. However, for many years, for me, it was a celebration of BBQ ribs, baked beans, potato salad, hot dogs, bratswurt, pasta salad and macaroni & cheese. I celebrated the fireworks and enjoyed watching my neighbors compete in their fireworks display. Usually who ran out of fireworks first was the loser. Now as a 37yr old adult, I acknowledge this day with reverence. Although I complain about the abundant taxes we endure and sometimes disgusted by the imbalance of wealth/economics in America, I do appreciate my country. The Moscato glass I drink from is always 1/2 full, therefore I praise the fact that I live in a country where I am "free" to dress the way I choose,"free" to believe in Jesus, I can sleep w/o the worries of air-raids because of on going civil wars, and I can ultimately achieve any of my goals thru preserverence, good credit, and knowledge of everything(Power). And w/ God, cause apart from Him, I am nothing(Only those who've meditated on the words in the Bible will comprehend that statement). So although at times I refer to the US(United States of America) as the "Land of the Slaves", we are just as much the "Land of the Free-er than most other countries!" I do love Amerigo no matter what the future holds for her. But to add a little side dish for thought.....When you love & know thyself, trust thyself, and believe in thyself, you can ultimately live and love and maintain in any country on this Earth. Mankind is a creation to be Awed because God/Creator/Higgs Bison Particle lives through US and we were wonderfully and fearfully made! Happy 236th Birthday Amerigo and many,many,many more!!! Shalom!

Tom Cruise divorce raises question: What is Scientology, anyway? | Entertainment - WLKY Home

Tom Cruise divorce raises question: What is Scientology, anyway? | Entertainment - WLKY Home This article is the first bit of solid information I have actually read about Scientology and I have been quite curious to know what it entailed. Gathering the information from this article, I don't find it controversial at all because like most belief systems, it's main goal is to guide the flesh during it's journery through Earth. Being a monotheistic person myself, I find anyone who denies the existence of God to be out of my circle or I would have to create a circle for that category of association on Google+. This article on Scientology spoke about methods of pulling past traumas that may have caused a person's state of depression by asking specific questions that allows the person to release emotions. Baptists call that "casting out demons." Scientology brings a person into a "clear" state of mind, Christians call it "being delivered." As far as the alien element of the religion(belief system), no comment. The only aliens I believe in, is the illegal ones that are entering this country without a "green card." But at the end of the day they are my brothers and sisters as well. No matter what we believe in, we all make up mankind and when we pass on we will all be in our spirit form, with the Alpha Spirit that got this ball rolling in the first place. Shalom! 

It is Better to Give!

How Homemade gift baskets can save you money and show you care | How Life Works. I ran across this blog and found it expounded on the very reason I want to start a gift basket business. However, because the vast amount of gift basket websites on the internet, I find it a bit discouraging. I do believe that my purpose in this world is to give. I've always been a "cheerful giver" without looking for reciprocation for the gift. Whether the gift is money, clothing, or a cherished item of my own, once the gift is given, it cannot be taken away. Because so many may be facing financial challenges, there is always someone who may be less fortunate than yourself. Let us not stop giving no matter what the economy may bring. Custom made gift baskets are a great way to show someone you care. This link http://www.howlifeworks.com/shopping/how_homemade_gift_baskets_can_save_you_money_and_show_you_care gives great tips on creating a basket yourself. But for those of you who have money to spend, visit the many gift basket websites out there and send a wonderfully made basket to someone who needs a gift. Hopefully you will be purchasing one of my own in the near future.

Blog Time!

It's 10:17pm, Sunday, the 17th of June, 2012. I have been up since 6:30am. And this is absolutely the first opportunity that I have had for blog time. And really I don't have the time right now because I still have 8 more items to put prices on for my booth at the flea market, put my four year old to bed, who is at the moment riding around on one rollerskate, terrorizing his big brother. I still have to get a shower and get ready for an interview tomorrow for a job I applied for as a security roamer, in which, ironically, I must be available at ALL TIMES of the day. I am shaking my head. I applied for the job because I felt it would fit into my ever changing lifestyle as a single mother of 3(including my almost on her own 19yr old), trying to start my own business in gift basket making and simply working for myself. The last 18yrs of my life was spent working for one of the Big Three in the automobile industry as an assembler and the thursday before Mother's Day 2012, I walked off my job, never to return! I made Mother's Day baskets for a few co-workers before I left and had great feedback. So here I am! Since then I have not sold another basket. Lol! However, I am not discouraged in the least. That's why I opened the booth at the flea market to sell my personal treasures and gain advertisement from the baskets that I have already made. So what does all this have to do with Blog Time? Everything! I plan on blogging about this whole experience, whenever I find the time. Shalom Boggers! 

Where There's a Wheel, There's A Way

This morning(June 13,2012,) my wonderful 4yr old son and myself, cut the grass as we do every Wednesday. However, he usually just watches mom/me because he is still afraid of the noise of the lawnmower. Afterwards, he helps me sweet up the grass clippings. Anywho, one of the wheels on the lawnmower became loose. Of course that didn't stop me from completing the task that I had set out to do. It was very difficult and monotonous, but the other 3 wheels were working so, I put in some extra muscle and finished the front yard. Where there are 3 wheels, there's a way/. However, there was no way I was gonna struggle through the back yard with the 3 wheels. I gave in, thought about other resources and asked my neighbors could I borrow their  lawmower. And the whole point of this blog is just to say, sometimes your most difficult "will" may be to ask for help. If you do not ask, you do not have-A closed mouth does not get fed. I thank my neighbors for their generosity. And have a productive day.

What's In A Name?

For those of you who may wonder why I titled my blog site "The Free Mind of Con$tantine#1037," well, it was conceived out my recent findings on Biblical history,world history,and my own history.Let's just say I have become somewhat of an historian. Anyhow,my born name is Constance and in my elementary school yrs,classmates would give me nicknames like, Constantinople and Constantine. I had no idea how important those names were to the Bible, the one book I have studied since I could read,however,the choices I have made in my life show no evidence of that. Constantine was actually a male given name to a Roman Emperor, who in A.D. 313 legally sanctioned Christianity,and encouraged his empire to become Christ followers during a time when one could be killed if they openly professed to worshipping Jesus.Constantine also named Constantinople(formerly named Instabul), the new capital of Rome. Because the Bible states that "Jesus came to set the captives FREE," and my mind is no longer in bondage by the old interpretation of the Word, I felt it only fitting to add that to the title as well. And the #1037 not only comes from my current home address, but also from the book of Matthew(my dad's name)10:37-39. As befitting because everyone thinks that I HAVE lost my mind, but actually I have found it! 

BLOGGING!

Why is it that I have finally set up a blog account and I have absolutely nothing to blog about. I have been longing to start a blog because throughout the day, so many interesting thoughts(to me) go through my head and I can think them through from beginning to end but when it comes to putting it all in black and white for all to see, I'm speechless or should I say textless. I can't even bring to my memory what I was thinking about earlier when I was making my boys pancakes and sausage but it was good. I remember wanting to take my laptop from my 4yr old so that I could start blogging, but he was so peacefu, playing his games on Nick Jr, I couldn't dare interupt his moment, stop cooking, and share with the world my thoughts. And it's so ironic that I even want to share my thoughts because I'm actually an introvert. Not a real social lite but I can handle myself in social settings. Not intimidated by it in the least bit. I did research the word "blog" because I wanted to be clear on the subject and wikipedia gave me confirmation. I do want to continue to blog and if ever anyone opts to read my blogs, this is my first and I promise you, they will get better. Until next time Bloggers and Bloggees!
