World Aids Day

Today is World AIDS Day.
Do you remember where you were when you first heard the term AIDS? I remember just graduating from high school in 1982 and began hearing about AIDS on the news. At that time, it appeared to only affect white homosexuals, so I was far removed. It didn’t have anything to do with me. I didn’t know any white homosexuals. Then in the 90’s, it spread to affecting black homosexuals. I still felt far removed because I didn’t know any black homosexuals either. Or did I?

My friend’s hairdresser was a man. A very handsome man, and to my knowledge, he had girlfriends. Turns out he had boyfriends too. He developed AIDS and died. Same thing happened to a friend’s uncle, someone’s cousin, someone’s brother, my old next door neighbor…Now it was getting closer to home. I wasn’t aware that any of these men were bi-sexual. Then we learned that some of these men who led double lives; having sex with men and women, have now spread the disease to unsuspecting women. The most disturbing fact about this is that sometimes the man doesn’t get the disease himself, but just passes it on.

Enter the year 2000. By then AIDS we see fewer cases of full blown AIDS, but what is now called HIV, but was quickly on the rise. I mostly heard about it being an epidemic here in the US and in Africa. By now, it’s no longer a disease that just affects homosexuals, nor is it only transmitted by sexual encounters. We began to hear about people dying from blood transfusions, and a whole lot of transmission going on through the sharing of needles by intravenous drug users. So, now, it’s no longer “the gay disease”. Babies are dying from being infected by their mothers. People of all races are being affected and are dying. Today I read that China is expecting 48,000 new cases of HIV next year.

As the new millennium rolls along, there is still no cure, but we learn that knowing your status early and getting on medication can prolong your life. But still, many are dying from the disease because they’re not getting tested. This is very true in the African American and Latino communities. I am quite disturbed at the statistics on our youth and STD’s.

So, today, December 1, 2011 is WORLD AIDS DAY. Get tested. Take someone with you. Know your status. AND DON'T HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX. It could save lives.

Network Marketing…A Great Start Towards Entrepreneurism…A Great Tool for Existing Entrepreneurs.

EMPOWER NETWORK SITE DOWN DUE TO AN ABUNDANCE OF TRAFFIC. PLEASE CHECK LINKS TOMORROW! THANKS!

I know, I know. When most people hear the terms “Network Marketing” or “Multi-Level Marketing” they think of a pyramid scheme or something negative. Well, I will say It definitely isn’t for everybody. Only self-starters and those with an entrepreneurial spirit can make it work. Finding the right system that fits your particular need is key.

During this time of recession, lay-offs and threats of lay-offs, people have become creative about sustaining themselves financially. No job is secure anymore. Entrepreneurism via the World Wide Web is on the rise. There is very little overhead, so 95% of the revenue is yours!

I like to write and I blog, so when I found the Empower Network system, I jumped on it. It’s fairly new and very reasonable priced at $25 per month. I was immediately exposed to highly motivating individuals through daily conference calls that focus on professional and personal development. This SYSTEM (Save Yourself Some Time, Energy and Money) embodies the true definition of NETWORKING - Meeting and interacting with individuals who have similar interests in an effort to build relationships that will produce current and future benefits.

If you already have a blog, why not make money by doing what you do anyway? If you offer a product or service, blogging is a great way to promote your business. Using the Empower Network system cuts out set up and design time. The system is set up for you to start blogging and making money immediately. Training and marketing strategies are provided DAILY and our Dream Team has professional marketers who help you fine tune your target audience, WORLDWIDE!

Blogging...A Means to Financial Independence

I began blogging in 2005. It started as a means for me to vent my frustrations. My life took a shift that I never imagined. That was the year that I lost my mom, my job and a very volatile marriage of 16 years had suddenly ended. Ending my marriage greatly affected my economic stability in an adverse way. I needed to stabilize my mentality and spirituality before I could move forward. Victims of domestic abuse often feel trapped due to finances. I could no longer allow that to keep me bondaged. I embarked on a number of business ventures that failed. It was then that I realized that my heart wasn’t right. I learned that by helping others, I would begin Healing, Empowering and Restoring myself. So I began to share my time, skills and talents freely, but became discouraged because I wasn’t making any money and needed to be able to sustain myself financially. And I continued blogging.

I tried many ways to make money blogging, but none worked…until now.

I found a blogging system called “The Empower Network” a grass roots group of entrepreneurs that went from broke, homeless and hopeless …to impacting lives around the world through the power of marketing influence and dream no would could steal. Their vision is to help hundreds of thousands of network marketers, affiliate marketers and entrepreneurs have massive breakthroughs and create a permanent change in their quality of life and financial situation.
They treat members AS VALUED PARTNERS, always staying mindful that your #1 priority is to build your business and keep it profitable. We’ll never overwhelm you with training or distractions that you don’t need or want. Our #1 priority to help you grow – personally and financially …and make our community a place where lives are impacted and ANYONE can succeed.

Are you ready for financial freedom? Do you offer a product or service? Do you like to write? Have you started blogging yet? Did you know bloggers make anywhere between $300 - $10,000 per month? If you are willing to post to your blog on a daily basis, you can be on the road to financial freedom, check out the links below. Then prepare to join our conferencall on Monday! Looking forward to you joining us on the road to financial freedom...from the Empowerment Network!

Dairy Products and Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. If you're a woman, your chance of getting breast cancer in your lifetime is about one in eight.

Researchers at a breast cancer conference stated that up to one-third of breast cancers could be avoided by making different lifestyle choices, such as the foods you choose to eat.

There is one food you may be surprised to learn, that is directly linked to breast cancer—and that is pasteurized dairy in the form of milk or milk products.

The risk lies in consuming milk from cows treated with a synthetic, genetically engineered growth hormone called rBGH, and unfortunately, this applies to about one third of the dairy cows in America.

When you consume dairy products from these cows, every product made from their milk is contaminated with this dangerous hormone—be it cheese, ice cream, yogurt, butter—or just plain milk.

Cows are injected with rBGH to boost their milk production.
But science has proven this practice, although profitable to the industry, comes at a high price to you, as well as to dairy cows. RBGH, or recombinant bovine growth hormone, is a synthetic version of natural bovine somatotropin (BST), a hormone produced in cows' pituitary glands.
Monsanto developed the recombinant version from genetically engineered E. coli bacteria and markets it under the brand name "Posilac."

RBGH is the largest selling dairy animal drug in America.
But it is banned in Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and in the 27 countries of the European Union because of its dangers to human health. Many have tried to inform the public of the risks of using this hormone in dairy cows, but their attempts have been met with overwhelming opposition by the powerful dairy and pharmaceutical industries, and their government liaisons.
