Painting A Picture to STAND!!! (102)

Hi EveryOne!!!

How are you? Thank you for joining with me!! Happy, Happy Birthday and Happy, Re-Birth as well.
I am so well pleased that you are reading with me, at first I could not decide whether or not to write and I am now doing just that.
Guess what? We have had some rather remarkable things happen to us this week and it has been such a pleasure. 
Please tell me did you have a great Birthday day? Did you go where you wanted to go and did you do what you wanted to do? I think about our Birthday-s and sometimes I think to myself, wouldn't it be a great thing if every child had the opportunity to celebrate each birthday with the gifts of their choice? This MAY not equate to Diamonds, Emerald or Pearls but just think you have the power to make your Little One the most happy at this time in their lives instead of waiting until they are grown-up and will wait for someone else to do it for them.
School has opened and I have been surrounded by Little Ones and the Awe, and Expectation you can see it in their faces. Very Culturally Diverse. I remember when I was going to school, when my daughter went to school and now I see my grand-son is going to school.Isn't it just so wonderful?  I do not know how you feel but if it isn't the same it is okay. I want him to learn as MUCH as he can and I want to help his Mom help him.and her, AS MUCH AS I CAN!!!
Please check the BACK-TO-SCHOOL Post and see whether or not you already know what is written FOR Parents, I still believe it is informative and I am not writing too much in this way you can always go back to the POST. I have been asked to just leave it along and I will.

"STAND"

By Donnie MCClurklin

What do you do when you're done all you can

and it seem like you can't make it through,

Good you just Stand, you just Stand.

Don't you dare give up, through the storm

through the rain

Through the hurt yea, through the Pain,

Don't you bow and don't bend, Don't give up

Don't give in.

Hold on just be strong, God will step in and it won't be long,

After you done all you can After you done all you can.

After you gone through the hurt, after you gone through the pain

After you gone through the storm, after you gone through the rain

Prayed and Cried, Prayed and Cried

Prayed and You've Cried

Prayed and Cried oh my

After you done all you can JUST STAND!!!

 I wanted this song for My/Our Sake. You can see the entire song just visit on Google.....

DON'T BE DIVIDED IN YOUR LOVE,. SAME SOME FOR YOURSELF!!!

Painting A Picture of YOU CAN!, ARE! & HAVE!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Today I am knowing and agreeing in advance that this is a Happy, Happy Birthday for you,
You and You. Also I am in Agreement with you for all the Re-Births today as well;
Please get something to snack on, and or to sip on . Today while we are communicating
with each other I want us to be totally relaxed. OKAY!
As per usual As I was Meditating on my BLOG, something I really had not labeled in
my consciousness came forth. Join in with me for my WISDOM'S TRUTH!!

Lately, I have been concerned about the Outbreak of Stress Related Concerns, that seems
to be affecting many of us, Nationwide, What instead of Whom is causing this unrest?
Although we will not admit it.
I asked SPIRIT for some Assistance with my views, knowing it will give me just what I
need, not Necessarily what I expect, because ultimately, when I feel I am being Guided by
SPIRIT, I really don't expect anything, But, to receive!!. I feel that it always include me,
because I am in the midst of Everyone else that is included in SPIRIT not being a Respecter
of Person, but gives fair and Divine treatment to all his Children. (AS WE ALL ARE)

Do you/I realize that most of our concerns in Life are filtered through(YOU,YOU ARE,
YOU HAVE,) Even though I SHUDDER to think that NEGATION IS THE CULPRIT for most illnesses' Mental, Emotional, and Physical. Some of you will Agree and Some will Not. But you know how I feel about that, for those that this will apply too, we will get it and understand,
if not then that is okay. If it just for me then I Pray that I will get It. Look Below: First let us take (YOU ARE)

    You are: Sick, Too Tall/Too Short, Slow/Fast, Brainy/Dull, Black/Pale, Shy/boastful

Bold/Fastidious, Greedy/Fat, Anorexia/Unhealthy, Crazy/Stupid,

Over sensitive/Too Over Confident, Not Creative/A Clandestine

Person/Selfish.

Trying to be someone, that clearly you are not. I do not know whom.
OR

You Have: Low Resistance/Shingles/Dementia/Arthritis/Meningitis/Claustrophobia/
Dysphoria/Fallen Arches/Alzheimer/Migraines/The Big Cancer/
Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder/Sciatica Nerve Damage/Slip
Disc/Glaucoma/Kidney Failure/Gall Stone Inflammation/ Lupus/
Stroke Potential/Thyroidism( Hyper/Hypo)
OR
YOU: Think that you are so smart/Look better that any everybody else/make me Sick/
Just like your Mom/Dad/Will never Amount to Anything/Eat to Much/
Waste God's time by Living a wrong Life/Should wear different Clothes/
ought to be ashamed of yourself/ Can't think,& Can't speak with proper 
Diction/Criticize too much/Shouldn't wear those clothes/young or old/ 
Just need to act your age/Need to Change your Shoes,you know
get the orthopedic ones/Drive too Fast/Drive/ Too Slow.

                                                                         " ETC"

The List go On and On,Who can tell us that they do not get tired of hearing about YOU ARE,

YOU HAVE, or YOU. What do you think you Could, Would,  Should be doing while you take the 

time to Listen? I do not know honestly know how to answer that, but what I will tell you is this, Most of us have Opinions, we have them ourselves, as I am an example ,but If I cannot say something Positive to you or anyone Simply do not Listen!!.  Everyone that knows me (Know) that I REJECT CLEARLY, What I do not want to hear. I Simply Just Say I REJECT THIS, I REJECT THAT, OR I REJECT THE OTHER. I am not frozen in thought to think I have to hear it. Just for the sake of it, when someone come again with the (YOU'S) just simply do the same.  I realize this is bad grammar, don't hold that against the article. I think I have written what Thus Saith the SPIRIT:

Here is a Verse that I MUST SHARE:MATTHEW: (7:7) Ask,and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find;knock ,and the door shall be opened unto you . This I think is a very good way to express YOU" Do you Agree?

(GO,FIGURE)

 BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSING to others. Don't forget to LAUGH with the LITTLE ONES/SENIORs/PARENTs/SOLDIERs/VETERANs/FRIENDs and all the would be friends if only they would:

With Much LOVE(TYG)

Painting A Picture of WHAT's, WHATS'!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Happy, Re-Birth today as well. Now let me see.
How are you today?. Did you see the beautiful Sunrise today? Did you notice it?
What is this thing called LOVE? Is it the feeling of Euphoria, Ecstasy or just plain old
drudgery! What is this thing called LOVE? Is it a feeling that you wished you felt?,
Is a feeling, you wish that, you wished you did not feel? What is It?...

Have you had your coffee, tea, milk or water this morning?  Have you had your
doughnut or danish?. Are you saying to yourself , Hold On, because we are in for a
Verbal Ride? Then, why, should I disappoint YOU? I don't think I will.

While I was Meditating I had some questions of my own, after this weekend I really
wanted some answers from SPIRIT. that I needed to understand. We already know that it is
written that "EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW IS REVEALED TO US" with
that having been said let us continue: Very early in writing my BLOG(s) SPIRIT had
given me EMOTION(s), for those of you, who have been reading along with me, DO 
you remember? Well, I wanted to ask SPIRIT today WHAT'S up? but I am far too WISE,
to ask that question. You see I am only WISE enough,

"NOT TO LEAN TO MY OWN UNDERSTANDING" 

and that is the depth of my knowledge, yet this weekend I stood undressed of the whole 

ARMOUR of GOD so to speak. I pride this earthy VESSEL of being so intuned with the

LESSON(s) that I have or should I now, say, am LEARNING that I did not want to think I 

would

be affected if someone talked about my hair, my nose,my eyes, my mouth, etc. I wanted to 

think,as I would say to someone else, WHAT's UP WITH THAT?  Then, I remembered, It

is not for me to be concerned about how you feel about anything about me. It is for me to 

feel and not about you, but, about me instead. I YIELDED to SPIRIT and loudly proclaimed,

IF I AM NOT WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE, THEN SHOW ME!! BUT, IF I AM WHAT

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO BE, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE SHOWN ME: 

I wrote this messages in one of my earlier BLOGs,  It is a part of one of my COLLECTIVE

WORKS, that is COPY-WRITTEN, with the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. I hesitated to write

this Morning, but I/We must all know that is why we must always remember to say without

any Doubts/or Fear, GIVE ME THIS DAY, MY DAILY BREAD: Anyway maybe SPIRIT had 

to keep me grounded in the BELIEF that I am not above REPROACH or that I really shared some

one else Pain/Emotions this weekend.

Now, it may seem that I am trying to justify my behavior and maybe not, but I really don't mind

if someone make a decision as to my looks, weight, height, or any physical attribute that you

can see. Other than that I would not try to encourage you to address this constantly to your Little

Ones. Do not be Deceived, FOR GOD is not MARKED, and just how we look is for his reasons

alone. As we live we will continue to wonder Am I beautiful Enough? Why am I not Beautiful 

enough? By who's Standards are we Judging Ourselves/ By? YES, YOU/I ARE BEAUTIFUL

ENOUGH. DON't EVER FORGET THAT THE PERSON THAT TAKES THE TIME TO EQUATE

THEIR LOOKS TO YOURS/YOUR CHILD, IS A VERY UNHAPPY PERSON, IN THAT THERE

IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THEM THAT YOUR NAKED EYE CANNOT SEE.

I think I have Written as WHAT SAITH THE LORD!!

BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSING to others. Don't forget to LAUGH with the LITTLE ones,SENIORs/PARENTs/SOLDIERs/VETERANs/FRIENDs. LAUGH YOUR foe INTO A FRIEND!!

Painting A Back-To-School CLOSURE!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday, and Happy Belated Birthday. I have not written deliberately
for three days. I wanted the Back-To-School BLOG to have the Opportunity to sink in
after being shared. I thought it was worthy and I appreciated the efforts that my daughter
put forth in writing it for us. Many of you read/shared the Article I am so appreciative.I think whomever needed it the most read and absorbed its content. And It is Still There!!

Happy Re-Birth as well, did you say audibly or inaudibly that is/will be the best One 
that you ever have had? What about your Re-Birth did you find out something that you 
said to yourself, I will never forget that? or did you say I will never say that again! or think,
or  never do that again? Sometimes, I think I am looking to have an enormous thing
happen to say, WOW! This must be that Re-Birth thing, but, on the contrary, it is usually 
Something so mi-nute that you don't even notice that you are doing, thinking ,
or saying it? Yet, the impact can cause a Life-long verbal eruption,which could be as that 
movie that's titled (The Never-Ending Story.
I did Meditate on just what to write because I wanted this to be another special BLOG!
I do not know about that, cause I kept saying to SPIRIT "I just want to give some Heavy-
Heart the ability to LAUGH" SEE HINT BELOW!!

I am pleased to announce that my grand-son is now writing with both hands, his left as well,
as his right hand. Do you know why? Well, here is a little something to LAUGH about.
When he first began to write he would try to write with both hands at the same times, he
would literally hold the pencil with both hands. We began to notice that this wasn't a good 
thing to let him do. We would concentrate on the right hand and as a result he used his right 
hand more that his left.Well, this summer his Mom has been teaching him to write cursive
writing.and would you believe he is totally ambidextrous? His Mom stated "That is probably 
why he doesn't like to write" ('Cause we have helped him used the right instead his left hand)
He is writing much better with his left. Now, would you believe? (Naawww) It COULDN'T BE!! COULD IT? (GO,FIGURE)
 I practiced this saying all day long; after I looked at the movie"

"THE BEST  EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL

BY

JOHN MADDEN

It was very delightful and is portrayed with a group of SENIORS included in the Cast

Just like the Little Train: YES I CAN!!, YES I CAN, CAN!!!, YES I CAN!! I practiced

it over and over. Believe it or not I had  TO FACE A RARE intimidation about

myself this weekend. That is why my daughter and grand-son went to the Library and 

brought me the DVD to watch!!!

I THEN SAID "SPIRIT IS THEREFORE I AM /WE ARE"

.BE BLESSED,<BE A BLESSING to others, Don't forget to LAUGH with LITTLE ones/

PARENTs/SENIORs/VETERANs/SOLDIERs/FRIENDs/ I was asked to say "foe" at least

a couple more times. So here goes LAUGH YOUR foe INTO A FRIEND.    

I Appreciate you!! I Appreciate this Opportunity!!

Painting A Picture of Back-To School Con't

Hi EveryOne!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Happy Re-Birth today as well!! Thank you for joining with me today.

Here is the big Hope that you have shared with your friends and family, the information in the original Back-To-School Blog.  I wanted you to have a chance to look at it, read it, absorb it and share with your friends and family the information contained there-in. I believe it will help you/someone you may know.

Please relax,get a snack and a beverage to sip on. I think if you need to discuss any facet of it you will contact Ms. Sancho, at theseniorwordartist@hotmail.com. I will give up my time if it will help anyone to help their Little one(youngster) began and have a splendid (2014-2015) school year. If you don't need the information for yourself then, maybe you know of someone else who can benefit from the Links that have been thoroughly researched. I believe in  it and my grand-son to me is an example of what has been written. No, all of us can't be smarter than the 5th grader(Remember that show?)but this will certainly give us heads up.

DON't FORGET TO READ 

AND 

RE-READ THE ORIGINAL BLOG.

I WOULD NOT GIVE CONTACT INFORMATION BEFORE

BUT TO ME THIS IS WORTH IT.

ONLY, IF YOU WANT TO VENT, PLEASE DON'T

WASTE YOUR TIME OR,

MS. SANCHO'S ON MY BLOG TIME.

INFORMATION BECAUSE SPIRIT PUT IT IN MY HEART,

TO ASK IN THE FIRST PLACE.

BE?.

Painting a Picture for Back-to-School!

Greetings Senior Word Artist Readers,
I have been asked by my mother "theseniorwordartist" to write a guest entry about School, Children, and Parental Insight to prepare families for the overwhelming task of getting back into the swing of school.  I will provide references for this information so that you will have reputable information to assist you for the school year.

For many of you, perhaps school is an enjoyable time for you and your children.  For others perhaps, there are moments of despondency that take hold when dealing with schedules, grades, ability levels of your children/students, parent conferences, behavior contracts, new schools, new living locations/environments, and more.  You name it and I am certain it can be added to the list.  It is imperative you know we all handle situations differently but are expected to conform to a sort of commonplace experience while at work and/or in school.  With the start of this new school year, let me share a few aspects of truth with you that I wish as a former teacher, I could have shared with parents more often.  I believe in equality for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, cultural beliefs, food consumption status (vegan, vegetarian, etc.), and ability levels/talents (which is most important); too few of our students are never recognized for the wonders they possess, but then again, few adults are either.

Years ago, a man named Howard Gardner came up with a system of identifying multiple aspects of intelligence which was intended to present a debate that No One Person can be GOOD at EVERYTHING and that the IQ test (created by Binet missed the mark on this fact).  Gardner proposed students/people may not have strengths in memorized data (as tested in some areas of IQ tests) but could have natural propensities in other areas of cognition and performance (as cited in Henshon, 2006).  Gardner asked us to consider the following as things our kids could be good at: bodily-kinesthetic (learns best through movement), Musical-auditory (learning through sound/hearing), visual (learning through sight/imaging), naturalism (learning through a connection with nature), spatial (learning through operation of large or small scale item/area), intrapersonal (learning best independently), interpersonal (learning through collaboration with others), and logical-mathematical (reasoning/analysis); each capable of assisting an ability to problem solve (MI Oasis, 2014).

Parents remember this:
"Your Child Is Great At One of the Areas Above!"  You may already know how they learn best.  Keep them focused on this during this next school year so that they will always feel progressive.  Challenge them to work harder and to attain greater goals in areas they EXCEL in.  Every child at every ability level CAN be challenged...perhaps the teacher is doing all they can...so Help them Out A Little.

Dr. David Richardson has found that ADOLESCENT brains (pre-frontal cortexes to be exact) physically CHANGE when teachers provide activities that teach POSITIVE behaviors (known as social and emotional learning [SEL]) (The George Lucas Foundation, 2007).  It is possible if the inverse is true, a teacher displaying adverse behaviors could literally ignite mental anguish and subsequent damage to your child during prolonged exposure to the negative behavior.  Remedy??  Take some time, make a phone call, speak to the teacher (DO NOT EMAIL).  If you do not get results, speak to the Principal.  Present the research and ask for collaborative change or request for your student to move to a new classroom.  Remember, you help pay for Public Education.  If your child goes to a Private school, this goes without saying.  You deserve a say-so in how they are educated. 

Be mindful.  If your child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), check your child's IEP from last year and call the counselor and resource instructor at the start of the new school year to inquire about future meetings that will inform changes in the IEP for this new year.  This shows you are ready to assist your child, even if you are not familiar with what they are studying.  Showing you care is one way to set your child apart from the masses. 

CALLING ALL PARENTS!    Following the first week of school (however short it may be), email every teacher your child has.  You can send one generic email to everyone with permission to email you directly concerning your child's progress.  if you are unsure how to send an email to more than one person, click on this link for instructions.  (http://www.ehow.com/how_6528216_do-sent-multiple-people-email_.html)      During my years as a middle and high school teacher, I can tell you, I knew the names of all of my students by the end of the first week, however, the majority of my colleagues never did.  They would complain in 9-week classes the students would be getting ready to depart just as they learned their names.  GET YOUR CHILD NOTICED.  Not with your money, threats, allegiance as a fellow church member, but rather through your CONCERN.  Let teachers know you will be contacting them to ask questions about your child's behavior, grades, performance on homework, at lunch time, on the playground, etc.  Whatever you have a concern with let them know.  Teachers are with your children for hours each day.  They confer with each other, walk the halls during lunch, see your kids in the restroom, hear what your children are planning to buy, eat, drink, and more.  They see your children mature.  Let them know you KNOW they DO and you want them to act as an EXTENSION of YOUR EYES and EARS.  This tells a teacher to WATCH OUT for your child, even if they tell you of the many others they have to oversee.  This small task goes with the Territory.  As a former teacher, I wish more parents would have contacted me like this because my personal growth came from protecting their children as my own.

There are so many additional tips I would love to share, BUT this is a Long Blog.  Just remember, no one can replace you as a parent or guardian for your child.  Technological devices (cell phones, hand-held or stationary game systems, iPads) that are connected to wireless Jetpacks and other types of Wi-FI (Mi-Fi) connections emit Electromagnetic Signals that may give your child headaches, cause them to behave aggressively or to pout, cause their heads to burn, etc.  Try to limit their use and ask them to keep the phones away from their heads at night.  I am a grown up who feels EMS from mobile Wi-Fi devices, yet had no trouble teaching in non-wireless classrooms for eight years.  I know what I am saying to you is true.  Monitor your kids.  They have only you to depend on and one life on this Planet.     

Please pose any questions to theseniorwordartist@hotmail.com and I will do my best to respond.

Sincerely,

Ms. Ri'Cha ri Sancho, BS, MEd, PhD Pupil


Thank you for joining us.  BE BLESSED < BE A BLESSING to other and please LAUGH with EVERYONE.

PAINTING A Picture of SUMMATIONS!!!

Hi EveryOne!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Happy Re-Birth today as well!!! How are You and thank you for joining with me today.
Let me first ask you to take a little time from your busy schedule to get a snack or a beverage to sip on. 
Then, when you are finished you can start back to Meditation or whatever the most important thing you do to bring forth Joy in your Life and in your world. (smile)
I began this BLOG early this morning and I was not receiving this message as I felt I should have been, I stopped to relax, to listen to SPIRIT and then return as I am doing right now.
My first direction was to make the font small, OKAY, I did this and now I am supposed to bring forth the message that I am receiving.
I will still have the message for the Little ones, (youngsters) that I intend to bring. I do hope you will find it interesting as I do when my Daughter is relating to me about things that are interesting to/about the Little ones (youngsters). Here is the reason why I/ we are going to present it in the next writing instead of this writing.
 I want to share about my grand-son's gifts that he received through SPIRIT. My grand-son has accomplished two Monumental Gifts on Friday. He received his Pass Test results.  He has been an A- Honor-Roll student the whole of last year (2013&2014) and this is a big reward for him. He received 2 Exemplary grades,(social studies & ELA) 2 Met-grades in (science & math) and a score of 597,which was 3 points from 600 points which would have been a met grade for writing. (He just does not like to write). Can you believe that? (GO,FIGURE) (I have been telling the Universe this "long enough" and it is time for me to stop sending this negative thought into existence) and" I will" :-))). In addition he received an Award from our local Library for having read over 2600 minutes during this summer. Their incentive offered is a Medal Award, a ticket to the baseball game in Greenville A team tee shirt and is he supposed to see his name scrolled on the board during half time. Also, we are in hopes that he will be able to meet some of the players during half-time. In case you are wondering why, (Why) did I just tell you all of that.... .My reason is simply this," He may not be a high-scorer in football, baseball, soccer, basketball, hockey or tennis" all of which he loves, but when you do not have transportation down here, and If you have been reading with me, you already know that we had been without a car, and that the bus stopped running at 6pm in our  little town. His mom had to find other things that he would be interested in to alleviate the doldrums periods which can happen in anyone 's life, let alone a child. We could walk to the Library and this we did many times. I am excited about the Pass Test results because last year he had only (Met) grades for Pass testing (it was his first time to take it) and this year because of his Mom's tutelage he has far exceeded the Met mark. I am so Thankful because of her constantly studying for herself, they studied together. 

Remember, that Is how I got started with my BLOGS to get out of their hair. I am now so glad that I did because when I started this I just wanted to write something, then I realized from the numbers, that SOMEONE else like me, was reading with me, Maybe some SENIORS as I am, and maybe not, but to each of you regardless to your age, I am glad you take the time to read with me. I began to Meditate on what I should say, because I know and believe that I would not:

" LEAN  NOT TO MY OWN UNDERSTANDING , BUT WOULD IN ALL MY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE WOULD DIRECT MY/OUR PATHS":

We have not touched upon the effects of YOGA, TAI CHI, or other WISDOM that I as a SENIOR  have learned about and would want to share, but you know as I/we have learned so much and I think I am almost at the end of this BLOGGING Saga. I do not know, I have to get the exact Clarity on this, I will enlist the aid of my Daughter,God-daughter, and Nephew-In-Law before I can make an intelligent discernment. Bear With Me Please!  For you and I both know I really enjoy this Privilege. 
Before I take my leave for today, Each Parent that is on the Board of LOS NINOS DE SPRING N2 SALSA, (LSN KIDS) have a Devout interest in the progress of this Organization where Little ones are concerned. Take a Peek and maybe you will see something that will interest you where your Student is concerned. You will have to review some pass BLOGS to find out more about them or just send a note to my e-mail address in my profile and I/they will respond. In the MEANTIME, Thank you for your undivided attention that you have given to us, don't forget to read with me to find out what will be written for the LITTLE ONE's and I know it will be OF GREAT BENEFIT TO YOU AND YOUR STUDENT. My grand-son is truly a Product of LSN. His Mom is the founder of the Organization and because of the Board of Directors, it is really flourishing. Another Gift from the SPIRIT. I hope they will not mind as I call their names.(Chairman>Ms. White, Director>Ms Damali,> Director, Ms. Pinkney> Newest Member> Ms.Cowan, ED>Ms. Sancho,> Sec.Ms. Jackson)
I have wanted to do this ever since our Annual Board Meeting. But I kept forgetting to ask their permission. "Now" it is done.
 BE BLESSED<BE A BLESSING to others, Don't forget to LAUGH with the LITTLE ones, SENIORs/PARENTs/SOLDIERs/VETERANs/FRIENDs/and by now we will not address any more credits for foes. WE ALL MAY HAVE SOME , BUT, WE MUST SIMPLY REBUKE THEM AND THEY WILL FLEE. OR HAVE THEY ALREADY FLOWN? MY CHOICE IS TO THINK SO!!!!!! 
With Much LOVE(TYG)
