It is about giving thanks and what better way to show your appreciation to this nation than to give thanks to the protestors at Standing Rock. They are the Standing Rock Sioux that have been protesting against the construction of the controversial Dakota Pipeline. Thousands of these Native Americans have been fighting a difficult battle trying to save that area from a huge ecological risk. These are peaceful protestors simply trying to protect what is rightfully theirs. Not only will this Pipeline destroy sacred grounds but poses a threat to their ground water.

Our Anglo American ancestors would not have made it alive without the help of Native Americans. We wouldn’t be sitting around our tables enjoying a Turkey feast celebrating Thanksgiving without their assistance in crop production and survival skills.

So I say stand with those that support #NoDAPL and learn more about this issue. Give to the Oceti Sakowin Camp the best you can. In a time when there is so much political turmoil, maybe today you can find a way to believe in the rights of the Americans who do not have a voice at all.

Bless you all and have a beautiful Thanksgiving Holiday. I am always thankful and humbled by your love and support.

Fourth Of July is not only a celebration of our independence from England, the original Brexit, ha ha, (my apologies for the bad joke) but it signals the half way point of the year. It makes me stop and take an account of what has happened and if I’m on track or actually doing what I want to do with my life. Each year becomes more purposeful and I suppose that happens with age. So here I am at the “halfway” mark of 2016 and other than a few hiccups along the way this year I have no complaints. I will take today to navigate the rest of the year and work on my goals of being a smarter, kinder, gentler person and less of the qualities that no longer suit me.

So thank you for taking the journey along with me this year. Have a wonderful 4th of July holiday and thank you so much for all the support and love and the ability to do what I want to do and for making it possible for me to make a living doing it. That is absolute FREEDOM and I thank you for making it all possible!!!

In fact, a blowjob can have an affect on the whole universe!

Sounds preposterous? Giving gratitude can go a long way and no good deed goes unnoticed. This article is for people that have been in a committed relationship for a fair amount of time. For those in a new romance, and I mean less than 3 years or so, this may not even apply to you and if what I speak of rings true to you then you had better take notes.

Everyone out there knows you take the ones you love for granted. Blah blah blah. Everyday niceties like “thank you” and “oh honey, that was so kind of you” somehow get lost in translation during your journey through life together. You start to expect it when they do things for you since inside what you are really thinking to yourself is “oh I do WAY more for them than they ever do for me”. Sound familiar? That is the killer right there because that way of perceiving your relationship is not only dangerous, it is wholly destructive.

So let’s begin our lesson with gratitude. And what is so fabulous about gratitude is that you actually get more from expressing gratitude then those who are on the receiving end. There in lies the magic, that wonderful enlightened magic where the better person you are to your spouse the better person you become which leads to you falling more in love with yourself which is the key to a successful relationship with your spouse.

So set aside those old tired feelings of being unappreciative and bitter and look at your spouse with new eyes. Try to see them how their co-workers or friends may. Focus on what your partner does well and think of all the kind things they do for you on a daily basis. Hell, I have a few friends that would be thankful if their spouse just had a job, let alone you sitting there taking them for granted when they put in a 60+ hour work week. Believe me I am writing this for myself as much as I am for you. I have become a bitter and unhappy woman to come home to at times and this did not affect my husband as much as it did me. I started to see myself as unhappy and so unhappy things began to occur. Once I began to shift my perspective to being happy and finding the joy and gratitude in just the littlest things, I didn’t lose myself or my standards even though my ugly ego was telling me that, but I actually found my true self.

Now let’s go one step further. When was the last time you showed your partner gratitude with sex? While researching my article I found all these ways to show gratitude to your partner by saying thank you and giving them back scratches and leaving them little notes -FUCK THAT! My husband would feel so much more appreciated with a blow job then a note on his computer, even better, putting a note on his computer to come back to bed and I’ll give him a quick blow job before going to work would be the perfect way to show him gratitude.

There are even studies that prove that showing gratitude makes you sexier. And I so believe it. When I feel grateful and express it to my partner I get all warm and fuzzy inside. I almost start to glow. I feel lighter and brighter. I’m sure this translates as being more attractive and more approachable. So showing your gratitude with sex is just one step above, giving your partner the best sex is going to enhance your mind, body and soul. Being grateful and giving it to them just the way they like it will most definitely give you the orgasm of your dreams as well.

So show a little love, or better yet, a lotta love and really give it to your mate. Don’t do some boring sensual and tender love making nonsense, really fuck them good. Let them know that they are THE most important person in your life and that their happiness is your happiness and lucky for you, that is indeed the case. Gratitude is viral. Once you start showing it and feeling it the ones you love tend to catch the condition too. Think of this as a holistic approach to your love life, you give your partner great sex to show them your gratitude, you feel happy, they feel loved, they in turn are kind to the other people in their life, and from there the energy flows like a wave. Your blow job can inexplicitly make somebody else’s day that you don’t even know, powerful stuff so don’t hesitate to make the world a better place even if you have to give some oral in order to get it done.

I like this new Walmart campaign to “green light” our vets. I found out it isn’t just about a green light to show your respect for our veterans but to bring awareness to the struggles they face once coming home. So I did some research and found this: “A veteran can sit for an average of twenty-two weeks in unemployment between their last military paycheck and a new job”. It seems a shame to have these talented and trained individuals unemployed for any length of time. Plus, as we all know, there are so many that come home with PTSD. I am still a monthly contributor to Pets for Vets www.petsforvets.com which enables those individuals finding it difficult to “fit” back into society a gentle and loving way to cope and enable them to have a new career. So love all around for our Vets!

I really can get behind this campaign and I myself would love to hire a vet.
