The majority is so used to juggling so many different tasks within any given day and never really have the time to fully take care of oneself so easily.  How can one even find the time with work, family and friends taking up most of our energy.  The problem is we can, yet look for excuses to put off for another day what can easily become a daily routine today.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dieting and exercising aren't easy tasks, but if you focus, keep a daily journal detailing what you have eaten and done in form of exercise each day; and jot down calories, amounts, distances if the chosen exercise is jogging or walking for 15 minutes a day or cardio, then you already have one foot forward.  Getting into the habit of watching what you eat is very important if you want to lose weight and keep it down, and just because you start exercising and begin eating well doesn't mean you will see quick results. Remember your body is now adjusting to a new routine, and so it will seem like its fighting you at first.  The key is to never give up and always keep at it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal is to continue the routine and in turn give yourself some just rewards.  Treat yourself to a makeover, a new outfit or whatever you fancy.  You deserve it and you can definitely feel great about having it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now will attach a link courtesy of everydayhealth.com that focuses on the 12 common reasons why one can't lose weight, and some which I have noted above have been addressed in detail.  In addition once a week I would love to publish a piece dedicated to diet and exercising to help you along so please feel free to join and follow us on our journey to a healthier living.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's Spring back to Weight Loss with rtrsmag.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight-pictures/12-reasons-youre-not-losing-weight.aspx"&gt;Why is your Weight Loss Stalled?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-981636638525705503?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/981636638525705503/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2011/04/springing-back-to-weight-loss.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/981636638525705503'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/981636638525705503'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2011/04/springing-back-to-weight-loss.html' title='Springing back to Weight Loss'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3639166716525548679</id><published>2011-04-04T21:09:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-04T21:25:17.614-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='news'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='congress'/><title type='text'>Protecting funding for the National Institute of Health</title><content type='html'>Please take a minute to tell Congress to protect funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency—making important medical discoveries that improve health and save lives. The billion and a half dollars in proposed cuts would be a huge loss for all of 1199SEIU’s training hospitals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The House, Senate and President Obama are currently negotiating a spending bill. It is vitally important that they hear from you now to protect these funds.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The House passed H.R. 1 which includes a $1.6 billion cut to NIH for this year which would be detrimental to medical research and devastate our academic medical centers and teaching hospitals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please take a minute to reach out to your local Congress member to tell them to support funding for the NIH.

Alejandra Jackson is the in-law that won’t go away. She has two children by Randy Jackson and two children by Jermaine Jackson. She actually married Jermaine, but he quickly discarded her. Mom Katherine Jackson felt sorry for Alejandra and took her in. When Katherine became the legal guardian of Michael Jackson’s kids, Alejandra’s children started bullying them. Katherine had to ask Alejandra to leave. Alejandra has been leaching off of Katherine and the Jackson's for years. She has never had to work. She knew that by having children by the Jackson men, she would have it made because someone would take care of her. At the moment, Alejandra cannot get child support from either Randy or Jermaine. That’s why she wants to tell all in a book and reality show. Alejandra needs money, and she is mad that the Jackson family is treating her this way. Katherine offered her money to go away, but she would have to sign a confidentiality agreement but Alejandra refused because she wants to tell all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-5785774698988444921?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/5785774698988444921/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2011/03/alejandra-jackson-reality-show-buzz.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5785774698988444921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5785774698988444921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2011/03/alejandra-jackson-reality-show-buzz.html' title='Alejandra Jackson Reality Show Buzz'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-4584401847357056196</id><published>2010-12-30T22:11:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-12-31T00:23:55.174-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The End of Another Year, the Start of the Next</title><content type='html'>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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the year this publication will rise.  This is the year their determination and drive will get them noticed and this is the year the honest truth will be told.

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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Communication, respect, support and most of all love.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3985882633647915333?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3985882633647915333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/08/key-to-successful-relationships.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3985882633647915333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3985882633647915333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/08/key-to-successful-relationships.html' title='The Key to Successful Relationships'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t210/blueestrell/Couples-Love/th_uf.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-4340197596404800069</id><published>2010-08-12T00:48:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-12T00:51:42.549-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Comments Posted</title><content type='html'>I am very delighted with the comments and feedback on posted material.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-8970941784357426650?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/8970941784357426650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/08/grudges-resentment.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/8970941784357426650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/8970941784357426650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/08/grudges-resentment.html' title='Grudges &amp; Resentment'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/TGGJqY4zVpI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/EqGlbFOj5tk/s72-c/break.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-6602219980627822660</id><published>2010-07-14T22:32:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2010-07-14T23:00:36.031-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='attraction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='relationships'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lust'/><title type='text'>Assertive I'm Not</title><content type='html'>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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;~Author Unknown&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-6602219980627822660?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/6602219980627822660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/07/assertive-im-not.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/6602219980627822660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/6602219980627822660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/07/assertive-im-not.html' title='Assertive I&apos;m Not'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-2204631087424334011</id><published>2010-06-02T18:35:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-02T18:45:08.502-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='goals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perseverance'/><title type='text'>Rose</title><content type='html'>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...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Name is Rose...  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I laughed and enthusiastically responded, 'Of course you may!' and she gave me a giant squeeze. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?' I asked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She jokingly replied, 'I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'No seriously,' I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!' she told me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She concluded her speech by courageously singing 'The Rose..' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it...&lt;br /&gt;________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Good friends are like stars...... ....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.'&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-2204631087424334011?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/2204631087424334011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/06/rose.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/2204631087424334011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/2204631087424334011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/06/rose.html' title='Rose'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3509561373782843743</id><published>2010-05-09T13:36:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-09T13:40:48.660-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Mother's Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S-bzkBTmDPI/AAAAAAAAAII/UUuuxcRORfE/s1600/mothersday1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S-bzkBTmDPI/AAAAAAAAAII/UUuuxcRORfE/s200/mothersday1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469326597639507186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I`ll always love my mama&lt;br /&gt;She`s my favorite girl&lt;br /&gt;You only get one, you only get one, yeah&lt;br /&gt;I`ll always love my mama&lt;br /&gt;She brought me in this world&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mmm, a mother`s love is so special&lt;br /&gt;It`s something that you can`t describe&lt;br /&gt;It`s the kind of love that stays with you&lt;br /&gt;Until the day you die&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author Unknown&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3509561373782843743?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3509561373782843743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-mothers-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3509561373782843743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3509561373782843743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/05/happy-mothers-day.html' title='Happy Mother&apos;s Day'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S-bzkBTmDPI/AAAAAAAAAII/UUuuxcRORfE/s72-c/mothersday1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-4840603417161151814</id><published>2010-04-15T21:01:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-04-15T21:05:24.936-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='relationships'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='faith'/><title type='text'>Faith</title><content type='html'>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.

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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Male-Rape"&gt;Male Rape&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-4328032969643265425?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/4328032969643265425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/04/other-side-to-rape.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/4328032969643265425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/4328032969643265425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/04/other-side-to-rape.html' title='The Other Side to Rape'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3038751619491100641</id><published>2010-03-20T16:20:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-03-20T16:23:16.342-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Justice We Seek</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S6UujDmkVYI/AAAAAAAAAIA/hib8LciuMbg/s1600-h/OurGraveyard.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;lose by drastically making some other changes within my diet.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

Here we are STEPPING OUT on the “FAITH OF LOVE” for we are blessed by our Heavenly Father above.  So even if we’re “blind-folded” walking over the LOVER’S CLIFF, you’re still my “precious” gift.  You reach for ME; I’ll reach for YOU and WITH GOD we can make it through.  For we are WOMAN &amp; MAN blessed by the “hand” of the “GREAT I AM”.  We are “covered” by HIS MERCY &amp; GRACE to reach our SPECIAL PLACE.  I love your SOUL for real and everyday this how I feel.  LOVE IS WHAT LOVE DOES.

Teen suicide ranges between the age of 15-24 and is considered one of the major leading causes of death within the United States.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Teen-Depression-Suicide"&gt;To learn more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-6760237400984025121?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/6760237400984025121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/03/teen-depression.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/6760237400984025121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/6760237400984025121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/03/teen-depression.html' title='Teen Depression'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S5lSzGXgDKI/AAAAAAAAAHo/dVW-EzOamVk/s72-c/osmond-320.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3675654246540271198</id><published>2010-03-07T15:00:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-07T15:08:51.387-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='loss'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='relationships'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><title type='text'>Poetry</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S5QHogjg8hI/AAAAAAAAAHg/3ECq3u_5k74/s1600-h/andwithme-1.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438557073954286610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3952166496710452708?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3952166496710452708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/02/unhappily-married.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3952166496710452708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3952166496710452708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/02/unhappily-married.html' title='Unhappily Married'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S3mi2BO7rBI/AAAAAAAAAHI/9V_SIz-qq8Y/s72-c/pregnant_foot_belly.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3986324343187487217</id><published>2010-02-09T23:49:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-09T23:51:25.583-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Recognize the Relationship Magazine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S3I7RR9qJRI/AAAAAAAAAHA/lloJKOxdxik/s1600-h/priforme_medium.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

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 &amp; 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 &amp; I are becoming WHOLE, as we unload SOUL II SOUL embraced by the “FLOWER POWER” of your plush “lubricated” hold. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 &amp; 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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; You &amp; I are “LOCK &amp; 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 &lt;br /&gt;YOU sweeping you off your feet. As our “LOCK &amp; KEY” meet at the peak, drowning inside the “steepest” emotional love that’s ATLANTIC OCEAN deep.  I am feeling you making the “PIECES &lt;br /&gt;OF THIS MAN” complete. YOU &amp; 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 &amp; KEY being UNITED, soulfully undivided.

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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Black-White"&gt;Black &amp; White&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3577695184476111535?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3577695184476111535/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/01/true-love-knows-no-barriers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3577695184476111535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3577695184476111535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2010/01/true-love-knows-no-barriers.html' title='True Love knows no Barriers'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S0EMceIP3uI/AAAAAAAAAGg/fe2uRvQrGaU/s72-c/robert_de_niro_2391272.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-6228371723551942275</id><published>2010-01-03T15:34:00.005-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-04T23:58:39.742-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Sex Addiction</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S0LG9RAX6DI/AAAAAAAAAGw/lJz9Ok8hYKg/s1600-h/couples-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 165px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/S0LG9RAX6DI/AAAAAAAAAGw/lJz9Ok8hYKg/s200/couples-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423115657146787890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?

As we groom our souls with HIS “WORD” to remain on the “ENLIGHTENED PATH” of righteousness. As we continue the “everyday struggle” fighting our “internal demons” following our “spiritual charted” course.  We are two “anointed souls” coming together as eternal SOULMATES praising THE AUTHOR &amp; FINISHER OF OUR FAITH, the highest “source of inspiration”. You &amp; I are uniting to make a “joyous cry” unto the Lord praying together for our duration, thanking HIM for letting us overcome the “worldly temptations” during our “trails &amp; tribulations”. Magnifying HIS Holy name in the morning, noon, &amp; night as HE shows us the “guiding light”, because we can FEEL HIM hearing our praying voices… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-For Psalms 55:17 states “Evening, and morning, &amp; at noon, will I Pray, I cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even in our “darkest hour”, we may suffereth long fighting the demons that’s trying to take us from where we belong, but this is why we are made strong. Through GOD “Our Love” is kind &amp; that’s why we stand behind each other cause it’s not puffed nor easily provoked for GOD made us equally “YOKED”…&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;-For it states in 1Corinthinans 13:4 “Charity suffereth long, and it is kind: charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up”. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling as the Messiah blesses us to maintain the same “Spiritual Balance”. We thank GOD for THE VICTORY &amp; for THE MIRACLE given unto us. As we “PRAY TOGETHER” and by the grace of GOD may we “STAY TOGETHER”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LaRonzMurray l’swager&lt;br /&gt;Copyright ©2009 LARONZMURRAY&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3671745757555915026?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3671745757555915026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/12/pray-together-stay-together.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3671745757555915026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3671745757555915026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/12/pray-together-stay-together.html' title='Pray Together, Stay Together'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/Sy-ntTKkTCI/AAAAAAAAAGY/xjIghc8N4qk/s72-c/feast-of-holy-family.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3899348551418851542</id><published>2009-12-09T23:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-12-09T23:35:13.531-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Economic Christmas</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Economic-Christmas"&gt;Economic Christmas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3899348551418851542?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://hubpages.com/hub/Economic-Christmas' title='Economic Christmas'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3899348551418851542/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/12/economic-christmas.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3899348551418851542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3899348551418851542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/12/economic-christmas.html' title='Economic Christmas'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-5932216507719874945</id><published>2009-11-19T18:49:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T19:21:35.374-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thanksgiving'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='holidays'/><title type='text'>Thanksgiving Holiday</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SwXgumSIcyI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/J6y71AIzUgo/s1600/2281.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 165px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SwXgumSIcyI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/J6y71AIzUgo/s200/2281.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405974018883351330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the holidays quickly approaching, the economy still struggling and many company incentives getting cut.  It is easy to say the pressure is on and there are people still trying to deliver a wonderful holiday cheer, but deep inside also wonder how they'll ever even pull it off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holiday planning usually begins during Halloween, and soon after the Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations start coming up.  This year it was a bit off, but some tried to continue the normal pattern as one holiday slowly crept by and another immediately followed.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point I can't even believe another year will soon end and the struggle to maintain your home, keep your job and avoid a lay-off, or the fact many businesses are still struggling to keep their doors open is not only disappointing but horrendous.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides the downfalls we still try to keep our spirits up and hope along with those that are in jeopardy that they do get a better start.  In the meantime, if you are one who enjoys the holidays keep it going.  Keep it simple, and remember the most important thing is having a healthy, loving family that is there to support you and lift you when you happen to fall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not right to let your troubles get the best of you, and this doesn't ring more true if you happen to be one with children.  Togetherness is the best alternative and coming together with family is simply a joy no one can ever deny.

How we choose to deal with these addictions differ and many loved ones are left with doubt and resentment due to fear of the abuse continuing, and or basically never ending.

The child tends to shy away from you to avoid contact or even worse result to yelling themselves since they now think its the norm.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yelling although difficult at times must be laid to rest.  We all know how frustrating life can be, and how easy it is to take out such frustrations on those who are close to us, and then there's also the possibility your child may be more than you can handle with tantrums and disobedience, but yelling just like physical abuse can be prevented if you try.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Discipline-vs-Yelling"&gt;Read more here... &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-5793635498081776477?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/5793635498081776477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/11/to-discipline-or-to-yell.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5793635498081776477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5793635498081776477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/11/to-discipline-or-to-yell.html' title='To Discipline or to Yell'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/Svjy01eWnFI/AAAAAAAAAFw/PErahyUHAZs/s72-c/sad_face1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-6911756724126571179</id><published>2009-10-17T15:36:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-17T15:45:25.383-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Breast Cancer</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/StoeEvTUK7I/AAAAAAAAAFo/HeYdKTefOcw/s1600-h/BreastCancerSymbol.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 93px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/StoeEvTUK7I/AAAAAAAAAFo/HeYdKTefOcw/s200/BreastCancerSymbol.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393656570495380402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breast cancer awareness should be very important to every woman. Whether you once faced it, have a loved one who suffered from it or even fear being a victim to it yourself.

It is difficult for most to walk out on such a relationship due to loyalty, still being in love with him/her and then there comes the children.  The one thing you should be focusing on isn't taken into consideration until it is much too late to make a change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your well being is placed in the back burner and so are the children because you think that your situation will change for the better if you stick to it.  Let me just say unless the abuser seeks outside help, and anger management training there will be no change.  Therefore it is up to you to place yourself and your children first.  The following link will detail a woman's struggle with domestic abuse and how she decided it was time to finally let the abuser go.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://authspot.com/journals/keeping-the-other-happy/"&gt;Keeping the Other Happy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-5023468217822344403?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/5023468217822344403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/10/living-among-domestic-abuse.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5023468217822344403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5023468217822344403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/10/living-among-domestic-abuse.html' title='Living among Domestic Abuse'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/Ssjidt3TElI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/Uh93KASEvCs/s72-c/WomAbuse.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3224328580325052625</id><published>2009-09-15T18:22:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T18:43:32.541-04:00</updated><title type='text'>When do You Know it's Time to Let go???</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SrAX7pQMoCI/AAAAAAAAAE4/yYuISRqB29Y/s1600-h/christ-centeredHeart.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 147px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SrAX7pQMoCI/AAAAAAAAAE4/yYuISRqB29Y/s200/christ-centeredHeart.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381827868161253410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To everyone who goes through life with a partner that's not fully there for you this is for you.  Love is a complicated matter we all share.  It can be a fulfilling kind of love for some, but for others it is simply the opposite.  For those of you, who experienced the plus side of love and still have it, consider yourselves blessed, but for those of you who have yet to experience the unconditional love, support, caring and understanding a true love can bring I need you to follow this topic, and then read the attached link so you can see your true worth for what it is.  It is up to you to make a stand if you feel unappreciated, unloved, belittled or resentful for sticking to it and allowing it to continue.  This world is filled with so many possibilities if you only seek and take control of your life.  You are in charge of your well-being so imagine yourself living a long and fruitful life with someone who can fulfill your every need, want and desire just for the pleasure of making you happy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not by all means let anyone dictate your life.  Being in a possessive, abusive relationship can take its toll in so many levels.  There should never be any unkind words tossed your way by the person that claims to love you, and you should never be told you are not worth much because someone else thinks totally different.  Someone else has guided you here for a reason, and maybe this doesn't touch you, but someone else you simply care about who you know deserves a partner they can look up to, and not be afraid of.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I've gotten your attention please let the following link take you the rest of the way.  You won't be disappointed and you may just get that extra push needed to seek help, or simply let go.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://relijournal.com/christianity/the-triumph-of-regaining-control/"&gt;The Triumph of Regaining Control&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3224328580325052625?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3224328580325052625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/09/when-do-you-know-its-time-to-let-go.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3224328580325052625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3224328580325052625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/09/when-do-you-know-its-time-to-let-go.html' title='When do You Know it&apos;s Time to Let go???'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SrAX7pQMoCI/AAAAAAAAAE4/yYuISRqB29Y/s72-c/christ-centeredHeart.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-3204217768158616736</id><published>2009-08-28T00:06:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T18:48:35.754-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tim Kellis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='support'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Author'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='marriage'/><title type='text'>Another Media Inquiry in Regard to Handling Conflicts</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SpddY1XbX_I/AAAAAAAAAEw/Jwm_syhWRGA/s1600-h/book-final-small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 179px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SpddY1XbX_I/AAAAAAAAAEw/Jwm_syhWRGA/s200/book-final-small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374867361513562098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is with great pleasure that I announce and include our next upcoming writer/contributor, Tim Kellis.  Tim's passion and hope is to assist suffering marriages on the verge of divorce get back to the basics, and possibly end up saving their relationship instead.  Upon talking with him I knew instantly he would make a great asset to the RTRS Magazine team, and we look forward to including his Press Release within the folds of our next and upcoming issue. Below is a small taste of Tim's blog, and full story may be viewed upon clicking on his name below.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I’m not a yeller. I never have been. When my sister and I had knock-down fights as kids, she screamed and I talked or cried (or both). Actually, that’s how our fights play out these days. I also never yelled when arguing with my parents, and the one and only time I got in a bit of a “tiff” with a colleague, she yelled and I, well, spoke. I’m the same way with dates. Recently, I had my first-ever argument with a non-yeller. It was weird — very weird. And I almost laughed in the middle because it didn’t feel like a fight. So was it? Does emotional release occur if you don’t yell? Is the fight as effective or productive? Do two people who are non-yellers accomplish anything while fighting? What about two screamers? &lt;blocquote&lt;&lt;br /&gt;To read further please click on Tim's name below. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtesy of &lt;a href="http://happymarriages.com/?p=10"&gt;Tim Kellis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3204217768158616736?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3204217768158616736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/another-media-inquiry-in-regard-to.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3204217768158616736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3204217768158616736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/another-media-inquiry-in-regard-to.html' title='Another Media Inquiry in Regard to Handling Conflicts'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SpddY1XbX_I/AAAAAAAAAEw/Jwm_syhWRGA/s72-c/book-final-small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-2045534956322749996</id><published>2009-08-24T23:40:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-24T23:54:43.185-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Has the Passion Died Down?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SpNfDPczW9I/AAAAAAAAAEo/XBXHLvnDW-8/s1600-h/Blackromance.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 163px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SpNfDPczW9I/AAAAAAAAAEo/XBXHLvnDW-8/s200/Blackromance.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373743289674718162" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many couples face obstacles that tear them apart physically, and slowly the passion dies down as well.  As you think back to when you first began when all was well and wonder what caused the two of you to drift apart.  Love isn't easy, you must always work on keeping it alive and the same goes for the passion, for once one goes there could be no turning back if one feels rejected.  Resentment is a tricky devil we have all tackled with at one point or another.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your love is worth saving, do all you can to bring the passion back and kick the old routine to the curb.

Whether a woman a man or child, being abused either verbally or physically is wrong and there are many ways out, as well as many places you can seek help from.  It may seem bleak at times, but the first step is to admit you are in a violent relationship, the second is to speak up on it, and sometimes it may be hard to but the most important thing to do is seek protection.  No one has the right to belittle, hit or embarrass you, and no one should be given the power to no matter what.  Love is to be kind, attentive and pleasing.  There should be no room for nothing else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following link will provide you a story about a child growing up with domestic violence in her household, and the trauma she endured, as well as other links that will help you tell the difference if still confused about you being in such a relationship and how to get away from it.

Since I am very familiar with this topic I wanted to open up and share some experiences I shared with very close friends who either lost a loved one or faced the fear of losing a loved one every day as they continue to fight in Iraq, Afghanistan or any other foreign country for our right to freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These men and women face dangers on a daily basis we couldn't even fathom, and I for one am grateful to all military personnel for continuously portraying what an honor it truly is to be affiliated with these troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The attached poem was written for a friend who every day worries that she will get a dreadful call saying her beloved has perished.  It was an honor writing such a lovely piece for such a loving person, and even more so because she allowed me to use her sentiments and have it published online.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you or anyone you know has a loved one fighting this war for us, please support them on a daily basis.  They need all the moral support and love to get through such a tough situation.  Missing the person you love because he/she went away on a business trip isn't the same.  Being a military wife or husband can be difficult in many ways, and the longing for the person you love to return to you safely overwhelming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a spouse you tend to be strong, but inside it is killing you to know that your spouse is facing such misery, despair and battles every day, which some of us can never understand or relate to.  To all of our troops I hope for your safe return home, and for those just about to be deployed I send you my prayers.  Thank you for being you, and for your chosen profession.  You are truly appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poem: &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?To-Really-Want-You-Back&amp;id=1917732"&gt;To Really Want You Back&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-3677249526246723505?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/3677249526246723505/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/military-families-endure-lot-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3677249526246723505'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/3677249526246723505'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/military-families-endure-lot-of.html' title='Military Life, Love &amp; Sorrow'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnsdpvenNxI/AAAAAAAAADw/t3uiFXAqrBE/s72-c/SupportOurTroops.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-1305794619378219982</id><published>2009-08-05T23:12:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-05T23:23:49.883-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Living Among Depression</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpMt3ADikI/AAAAAAAAADY/tGuBqdThBII/s1600-h/alone.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 211px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpMt3ADikI/AAAAAAAAADY/tGuBqdThBII/s320/alone.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366686256707373634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of us can understand how depression can set in, and basically turn ones life around.

Even the best person can have a mental breakdown, it can either sneak up on you or it can build up over time, but nevertheless it is overwhelming.

Against all odds, their band develops a sound all its own with a real shot at success in the contest. Meanwhile, romance brews between Will and Sa5m, who plays a mean guitar and has a voice to die for. When disaster strikes, it's time for the band to make a choice: Do they admit defeat, or face the music and stand up for what they believe in? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starring Vanessa Hudgens, Gaelan Connell, Aly Michalka, Lisa Kudrow, and David Bowie.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-131519268989039369?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/131519268989039369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/band-slam-movie-2009.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/131519268989039369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/131519268989039369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/band-slam-movie-2009.html' title='Band Slam Movie 2009'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpHIkQbw9I/AAAAAAAAADI/XNdgF3i1m7A/s72-c/5282_6926573518.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-5978791438327267765</id><published>2009-08-05T22:23:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-05T22:48:56.900-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Our Children, Our Responsibility</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpDk2etSsI/AAAAAAAAADA/12sBYx5-O0A/s1600-h/PC230213.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpDk2etSsI/AAAAAAAAADA/12sBYx5-O0A/s320/PC230213.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366676206344030914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpDbbZvxiI/AAAAAAAAAC4/dEwYrlBm45I/s1600-h/b206.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpDbbZvxiI/AAAAAAAAAC4/dEwYrlBm45I/s320/b206.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366676044456642082" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a parent, the majority of us who are proud parents want nothing but the best for our children.  Sometimes the choices we make throughout their lives may be construed as being rough, demanding and even pushy, but being that we want the best for our children, some sacrifices must be made to make sure they turn into the adults we hope they can be.  Strong, independent, hard-working and most of all loved.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We as parents must set the perfect example if we want our children to live up to the standards we expect from them.  Not every situation is easy.  You may be a single parent, or a full family it doesn't matter.  The important thing to always keep in mind is that we need to show interest in our children's daily routines, and we must know who their friends are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trouble lurks in every corner, and even though your child may attend the best school and live in the best community it doesn't exempt them from harm.  These days we have to worry about pedophiles, drugs, alcohol; abductions and murders.  We can never be too careful, and we should never let our guards down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a lot you can do to ensure your child has the best life can offer, so if you have to enroll them in after school activity during the school year,so be it.  At least this way they are under some type of adult supervision, learning, or even doing something they have a passion for like karate, dance or music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following story was written with kids in mind and shall go into further details on what you can do to be an actively involved parent, as well as help them stay clear of drugs.  I will later draw up a list of other activities your child and you can utilize to bring you closer, and camps that specialize in whatever your child may be interested in, so you can make the decision together.  &lt;a href="http://gomestic.com/family/safeguarding-our-children/"&gt;Safeguarding our Children...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-5978791438327267765?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/5978791438327267765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/our-children-our-responsibility.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5978791438327267765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/5978791438327267765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/our-children-our-responsibility.html' title='Our Children, Our Responsibility'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnpDk2etSsI/AAAAAAAAADA/12sBYx5-O0A/s72-c/PC230213.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-7782717049133861698</id><published>2009-08-03T20:34:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-03T22:01:54.952-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Technical Difficulties</title><content type='html'>At present we've become aware the Pay Pal download feature is having technical difficulties and I am happy to say it is currently being adjusted.

Fortunately, we didn't go into it deeply enough so I wrote a piece which I had published online, that took things a bit further and focused mainly on the children.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any break-up causes friction and when kids are involved it affects them just as bad.  As parents we have to keep focus and understand the children's role in this, and how much the break-up may affect them if we focus only on the break-up and not their feelings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, the following article can bring the focus on the kids, and help the couples splitting up better handle the situation.  The most important thing to remember, and always keep in mind are the children.  It may be difficult at times to hold your tongue when in the process of breaking up, but it is mandatory to always see your bickering doesn't change a thing and the children are the ones who truly suffer if they happen to be a witness to these outbursts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line is: &lt;a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/Resentment-From-the-Childs-Perspective"&gt; Place Children First.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1877691396002616445-2792810145187444290?l=rtrmagazine.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/feeds/2792810145187444290/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/resentment-from-childrens-view.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/2792810145187444290'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1877691396002616445/posts/default/2792810145187444290'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtrmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/08/resentment-from-childrens-view.html' title='Resentment: From the Children&apos;s View'/><author><name>Alma Gonzalez OEC</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04097620910847286881</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTK-GwaIeI/AAAAAAAAABo/F3D9pUzR-do/S220/love.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnYdoL2ZbXI/AAAAAAAAACw/n5AdFqtcns4/s72-c/xb.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877691396002616445.post-5552537589496270080</id><published>2009-08-01T19:09:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T22:53:15.370-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Luscious Lips by L'Swagger-riffic</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTSSBfuZeI/AAAAAAAAACI/Mn0Tv6YQ12Q/s1600-h/fallwintercouple.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmUFHvB5dfY/SnTSSBfuZeI/AAAAAAAAACI/Mn0Tv6YQ12Q/s320/fallwintercouple.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365144263186081250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The following is a small teaser to an upcoming columnist, which shall be featured in our upcoming issue of "Recognize the Relationship Magazine."

A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless shared his story with me and with his permission I was able to not only write about it, but publish it online as I already had a couple of articles added; and we wanted to ensure we gave every contributing writer a shot.  Since this story is based on relationships and what can happen when you let past hurts interfere with your present relationships I wanted to also share it here with you, as originally it was intended for the "Recognize the Relationship Magazine" readership anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope anyone who can relate will be more than willing to comment as this is a topic that is so widespread, especially when ones dealt with a cheating partner.
