The End of Another Year, the Start of the Next

Well another year strolled by and a new one soon begins. 2010 was a year full of doubt, hope and true perseverance as many companies struggled to stay on top of a struggling economy, and many had no other choice but to file for bankruptcy and close their doors forever.

Three years ago the economy was hit hard, so hard that many businesses struggled with keeping not only their doors open, but also their dreams alive. As we all know at any time, businesses in any community can come and go, but the shock of the many who had closed their doors throughout the past few years, and the many left unemployed still plagues us.

In addition to the many jobs lost, many who have approached retirement years forfeited their plans to retire in order to avoid being stuck or even worse losing all they had worked so hard for due to the rise in costs which only plagues those who are considered middle class or low income.

Many employers were forced to place a freeze on hiring, and many college graduates along with those who had been laid off must ponder if and when they will ever find employment. Throughout these years we've also seen many lose their homes to foreclosure, or file for bankruptcy in order to maintain their homes or businesses and the many who due to credit cards have fallen so deep into debt and have little or no hope of ever being free of paying not only the amount owed but the interest accrued as well.

Yes the years have been rough but many have not given up, many are still holding onto their dreams, and many have persevered and flourished. The economy woes were not going to get to these individuals and they made things happen. They studied their business and focused on ideas to make it grow. They learned how to respect each player and appreciate their contribution and they also developed a plan to ensure they meet their goals in the upcoming New Year 2011.

Lipstick Information from Mount Sinai Hospital.T.O.

This comes from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital , in
Toronto . From: Dr. Nahid Neman

If there is a female you care anything about,
Share this with her. I did!!!!!

I am also sharing this with this site to bring awareness,
Because you need to know and tell the females you care about as well!

Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth'
Decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90.

It contained lead.

Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick brands that contain lead are:

CHRISTIAN DIOR

LANCÃ"ME

CLINIQUE

Y.S.L

ESTEE LAUDER

SHISEIDO

RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)

CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)

MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.


The higher the lead content,

The greater the chance of causing cancer

After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick
contained the most amount of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks
which are supposed to stay longer.

If your lipstick stays longer, it is
because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black,
then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Please send this information to all your girlfriends,
wife and female family members.

The Key to Successful Relationships

Most of us understand that the single most important thing to have in any given relationship is communication. With communication playing a major role in your relationship you can never go wrong, but then you also have to take it a bit further and always demonstrate how important that relationship truly is to you.

Little gestures of love, support and understanding are absolutely important as well, so with that said please try to remember to be the number one cheerleader to your significant other. Support your mate in every way you can and always let your partner know how important they are to you and openly share it with the rest of the world.

With relationships also comes compromising as we all know we do not all think alike and we can't all have it our way all the time either. It's okay to disagree but it is also great to sit and talk out the differences and make a decision together by working out the issues together, and establishing a plan to work through important topics until you both can find a mutual and agreeable solution.

To make a relationship work you both have to carry the burdens together on all four shoulders. Sometimes we can bottle our feelings up and not want to share certain burdens but the great thing about a lasting relationship is that one would know when the other needs help and how to assist them even if they don't ask for your help.

Every couple must be able talk about anything and everything to be a success. There should never be any secrets, and going to bed angry after an argument should never be considered. Always talk things out prior to going to bed even if it takes hours to sort things out for it is well worth it once you get the matter resolved as a unit.

One thing to also learn is to always keep your emotions in check when having a heated discussion. Sometimes the discussion can bring out issues that can heat up a situation quickly, but never let those emotions come between you or the importance of talking it out openly. The success of it all is being able to share a mutual love and respect for the relationship and each other. Making a habit of treating your loved one as you would like to be treated is critical, so make it a habit to do so at all times.

To respect, love, cherish and adore your partner at all times is a blessing that will carry your relationship to a deeper level every single day. Therefore do not get angry or jealous when the person you love wants to be alone either, and never try to hold your love back as this will lead to displeasure and resentment because he or she will not take the opportunity to be alone. Being alone sometimes is a basic need and in no way due to them not wanting to be with you.

Every human being has the need to be alone from time to time. Privacy is a predisposition in every human being. Taking the time to be alone will never take the love you have for one another away and will only enhance it if you don't make a big issue out of it.

There are many other great ways to keep the relationship a success that I will get to later, but for now I surely hope you take my advice and always remember the key elements in any successful relationship.

Communication, respect, support and most of all love.

Grudges & Resentment

Many of us get hurt from time to time and somehow find it hard to let go of the hurt and truly forgive. The problem with holding on to the hatred you may feel is that it allows you to sink deeper and deeper into a place you quite frankly don't want to be. The more you dwell on the person that hurt you, the more you may want to lash out. We all know how hard it is to let go when one has wronged you, and we all know how easy it is to want so much to hurt that person as much as they have hurt you. The problem is that is not the answer.

The first thing one must do is figure out what is causing you to hold the grudge. You have to dig deep to figure out what the problem is in order to solve it, and let it go completely. Once you allow yourself to see the real issue you can make the choice to move forward or simply stew in it some more.

Solving the issue and releasing the grudge can be difficult especially if there wasn't any closure. The issue was never truly confronted and you are left to wonder how it can ever resolve itself without the actual confrontation. If you are ready to communicate without placing judgment on the person who hurt you that's great, every relationship has its ups and downs and not all work out the way we want it to, but if one deems it to be over contemplate on the why and always take into account each others best interest.

Whether you work it out together or on your own doesn't matter. What matters is that you will feel the relief by letting go of that built up tension and all involved can have a better understanding. Within the next few weeks I will dive deeper into this subject and hope to get some feedback on the matter if you yourself are facing this issue.

Assertive I'm Not

Many find being assertive a great thing, but when one is used to being a lady and moral values weigh you down it sometimes can be overwhelming to say the least. You want to go with the times and a secret side to you longs to break free, but yet you tend to hesitate. You may find yourself asking "Should I or Could I? "May I or Can I? The issue may not be so much being assertive.

You know what or should I just say who you want. Once one is attracted to someone its inevitable, but the fear of branching out these days and acting on it can be scary and can sometimes lead one to trouble.

Flirting is one thing I find exciting, exhilarating and most of all fun. I enjoy being told I look good, I relish being singled out in a crowd and most of all I adore being the one not so easy to get. Call me a tease if you will, for I truly don't care. The purpose of my giving you my side of things is in one way so I can vent and in another to see how many people feel the same and just keep those hidden desires bottled in for fear of being rejected.

Throughout my life I have played the assertive role three times and all three times it has bit me in the butt in a bad way. My self-esteem diminished a bit, and I felt like a fool afterwards for putting myself out there like that, but I learned my lesson well. Therefore, my being assertive with someone I just simply find attractive will forever be a no no, I will or shall not repeat again.

Rose

Ocassionally one will receive an email with such a great impact it is worth sharing with others. To me the following can only demonstrate how it is never truly too late to accomplish your goals in life, no matter your age...

My Name is Rose...


The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?'

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, 'Of course you may!' and she gave me a giant squeeze.

'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?' I asked.

She jokingly replied, 'I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...'

'No seriously,' I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

'I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!' she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.

We became instant friends.. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and experience with me...

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium.. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, 'I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.'

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, ' We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day... You've got to have a dream.. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.'

She concluded her speech by courageously singing 'The Rose..'

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it...

'Good friends are like stars...... ....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.'

Happy Mother's Day

I`ll always love my mama
She`s my favorite girl
You only get one, you only get one, yeah
I`ll always love my mama
She brought me in this world

Mmm, a mother`s love is so special
It`s something that you can`t describe
It`s the kind of love that stays with you
Until the day you die

Faith

Dear Friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

1 John 3:21-23

The Other Side to Rape

For years rape has been discussed and portrayed on behalf of the woman, but men have been plagued with being a victim to this as well for quite a while. The difference between the two is that it is barely discussed or even researched highly because society tends to shy off from topics that can't be envisioned or fathomed.

The tragedy in this is that many men go through life bottling resentment, shame and guilt for a crime that was committed against them and they had no control over it whatsoever. Whether this crime was committed as they were growing up and too young to defend themselves or as adults it is still a crime that needs a great amount of focus, and a topic that we at rtrsmag intend to portray with high regard to the victims who have already suffered immensely for it.

Within our prisons many men also suffer needlessly as the system looks the other way to countless reports of rape and assault while doing their sentence. It is a matter that we as human beings must look into further in order to assist the victims it plagues on a daily basis. Attached is a start-up piece to this subject on male rape and soon we intend to do a follow-up once we continue our very own research and can give you a better understanding on the situation at hand.

The Justice We Seek

The Justice We Seek

A Newborn's Conversation with God

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow,
but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have
to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you.
And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand
when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will
teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach
you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach
you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth
could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave
now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, You will simply call her, " Mom ."

Springing Forward

As Spring draws near many of us start to think about the warm weather and how soon after Summer creeps in, the garments become less, and more skin becomes exposed. Many may still have their curves in the right places but face it those that don't need to reconsider what they deem appropriate to wear while in public.

I know how easy it is to wonder oh I can look great in that, but know better to not attempt it because of my figure. I am a mother who has been unable to lose the belly fat since I had my child eight years ago and it isn't due to lack of trying. I've joined the gym, and saw no results. I cut back on sweets, soda and junk food yet still struggled with losing the bulge and so like many others before me just simply gave up.

2010 has thus far proven how much has to be accomplished. I first decided to quit smoking cigarettes, which I am still struggling with but am happy to say I can see myself quitting for good within the next month, but let's not get side swiped here.

Let's stay focused and lets tackle or maybe weigh in the factors. Now that Summer is almost here I intend to lose the ten to fifteen pounds I couldn't
lose by drastically making some other changes within my diet.

I am not going to starve myself, but simply eat a bit better. Exercise at least three to four times a week and will do this solely by sheer determination and will power, leaving out the whole gym concept entirely and I will catalog my changes as we go along. At present I weigh 140 pounds and my height is 5'1. I am also considered to be a medium framed woman, so basically my ideal weight should be between 115-129 lbs.

With that said I intend to make my ideal weight by the end of June. If I lose it any sooner I will of course share my success with you and also include the following links so you can yourself attempt to join me in the Springing Forward to better weight management regime. If you do please leave us your comments and let us know what you're doing to achieve success. Every woman deserves a positive support group that not only motivates you, but also supports you in times of challenge and you can definitely find that here. "Don't be Discouraged."

Teen Depression

While more and more teens are being plagued and diagnosed with depression, we must stop to wonder what can be done to assist them before it is much too late. Teen suicide ranges between the age of 15-24 and is considered one of the major leading causes of death within the United States.

Unfortunately, there are also a lot of teens that appear to be alright but are suffering from within and it is they we question more, because the result of losing them to this is so overwhelmingly shocking that you can't fathom it. The why is always hanging over you especially when now that teen is lost and considered a statistic to suicide? To pinpoint definitive signs of depression isn’t easy unless the depressed party is giving you sure fire hints, but then there are the few who can mask their state of mind so well no one will ever be the wiser.

Poetry

The following poem focuses on coming to grips with letting go of an unattainable love, for sometimes we try a bit too hard to sustain a relationship that is only one sided, and the effort made to make it work just makes it a lot worse for the only one trying.

Just too Late...

Attraction

Being attracted to someone can be exciting, pleasing, romantic and most of all overwhelming. If the attraction is mutual the intensity of it all can be fun, but sometimes it can be a true inconvenience as well.

You see sometimes attraction isn't rescinded and that's when it all falls apart. The person you are attracted to just doesn't feel the same way, or can't because they are already involved with someone else.

I Will Change the World for You

In the solemn shades of those art lovely clouds,
God's kingly glory that by his grace such attended
With honey words gave you to my hearts works by love.
And that burning light above, that scorched the earth
came raining down upon me from heavens fiery eyes,
shining solely through the unstained window of your
breast with the sacred radiance of the sun, overlooking
the flowery hills, grassy meads and glassy streams,
to bower natures art, as love has come to harvest.

Upon your virgin boughs, where the sweetest fruits
that ripen are the sweetness of my loving decree,
and the Galen angels and their jaunting wings turn the
sky-capped climbs, as they reveal your virtuous beauty
in which my lips had breached that hallowed seal,
O' beloved creature with your spelling charms, let us
take our holy sins upon the witchcraft of each mortal kiss
under the moonlight sheen within the blinding rays of
your dazzling eyes, like two planetary stars spangling the
soul earth's breath of heavens shine.

Leaves of myrtle shed a gentle hanging off an emerald
laurel tree whose heartwood bark climbs the seasons,
and my devout passion will hold great desire with you,
within the golden leafs my thoughts furrow in loving
prose, where the world will read you in angelic styles
through the eyes of Saints, let the core of the sun kiss the
lucent earth with the sweet brood of natures hand, you
bounds me, my lady love, with light O' lovelier importing
double hearts as a courier of love and a interpreter of my
passions and for that I will change the world for you.

Unhappily Married

Below is a comment made on the sequential outcome to a doomed marriage. Since many go into it with thoughts of others in mind, or even doubt it is safe to assume the marriage that begins on a rocky note will only end up that way. It is a pity, but it happens more and more. Men and women jump into marriage for all the wrong reasons. Pressure, fear, mixed emotions and maybe the shotgun version.


Some people go into marriage because they feel they are the ones they were meant to be with. Certain circumstances in life may change those feelings and it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be seeing another. It could be an ailment, sickness, depression or simply growing apart. Every marriage deserves a chance to be worked at but for many there just isn't any hope. Now if you go into marriage with doubts and feeling for others at play then of course you can say it is doomed from the start and can only result in divorce.

Lock & Key United (Poetry)

Imagine an “exposed”, unlocked “LOCK & KEY” that metaphorically represents the bare components of YOU & ME. So here we are becoming ENLOCKED within the “tightest” glove of “SPIRITUAL LOVE”, feeling the GREATEST POWER blessing us from above to become ONE SOUL undivided - “LOCK & KEY UNITED”. We are two souls excited, guided by the “enlightened path” of TRUE LOVE with our ever-lasting LOVE provided by the decided UNMASKING of our natural souls. YOU & I are becoming WHOLE, as we unload SOUL II SOUL embraced by the “FLOWER POWER” of your plush “lubricated” hold.

The fact you are my “TRUE LOVE” I am believing, enjoying this REAL LOVE we are conceiving. As I’m FEEDING your “tunnel” with the stillness of a STEEL POLE, steady massaging your soulful “hold of gold”. Now, you’re feeling my MANLY hands caressing, pressing your thighs leaving a “thumb imprint”, body dent off the “combined energy” spent that’s making you soft & limp. Now, I am completely FULFILLING YOU, “THRILLING YOU” by wetting the “warm petals” of your blossoming ROSE causing you to compress your toes. As you are squeezing me, while pleasing me with a TIGHTER hold.


You & I are “LOCK & KEY” deep INSIDE each other’s SOUL experiencing the pure passion of the “GREATEST LOVE STORY” never told. As we continue our INSATIABLE LOVIN’ rubbing SKIN II SKIN, sinking deeper within the “elements” of
YOU sweeping you off your feet. As our “LOCK & KEY” meet at the peak, drowning inside the “steepest” emotional love that’s ATLANTIC OCEAN deep. I am feeling you making the “PIECES
OF THIS MAN” complete. YOU & I are reaching the “pinnacle peak” exploding to become weaker than weak, yet stronger in building the “SPIRITUAL BONDING” we seek. As our “unspoken words” speaks with the volume of a “thousand tongues”, we are thanking the CREATOR for blessing us to consummate “OUR LOVE” to become AS ONE. We are the FEMALE and MALE physical formation of an excited LOCK & KEY being UNITED, soulfully undivided. We are ONE.

Dating Prowls

When dating you encounter a lot of deceitful individuals who not only think only of themselves, but couldn't care less if someone got hurt in the process of the scheme. It is very hard to find someone who can be honest from the start, and even harder to find someone who simply just wants a commitment. Therefore, it is imperative that you know who and what you are getting yourself into before it is much too late.

Within the folds of the link attached you can probably relate to some of the antics played, but also portray some of your own by placing a comment. It is better to be aware than to learn the hard way I always say.

True Love knows no Barriers

Interracial couples have been dealing with a lot of controversy due to the choice of partnering up with someone of the opposite race. When you fall in love with someone be it the same race or not it is sometimes uncontrollable. The desire to be with that person just grows stronger and stronger each day, and the thought of living life without them intensifies as well. No one should be penalized for falling in love when in reality love has no boundaries. Whether its a same race love or not. Love is love. The same feelings are shared and the desire to make it a lifetime relationship is just the same, the only problem is the people who have issues with it and don't have any qualms about portraying their ignorance.

Interracial couples are everywhere and even the ones in the celebrity spotlight get the ridicule for going outside their race and finding true love. Seal and Heidi, Robert DeNiro and his wife Grace Hightower and also Robin Thicke and his wife Paula. The one thing no one notices though or barely talk about is that these are true success relationships and they are still growing stronger.

The following link will address this issue more and also focus on my relationship as well, as I too have dealt with the stupidity inflicted via the ignorant.

Sex Addiction

I have written the following piece as a follow-up to an earlier piece written on the subject and entitled Addicted to Sex, for I had no idea the feedback would be so immense, and that a certain writer will ask me "what the effects of being addicted to sex are if indeed an addiction like any other? It took me a minute to ponder and respond and so here it goes.

Although not fully talked about this is an addiction that causes a lot of heartache, doubt and true concern so I do hope this can help in any way, and have also included a site that can assist you in getting some help as well, or even a better understanding as you embark on a quest of true life testimonials.
