Family Bond Paper™

Tweet Show, @atimetolearn:  Daily Tweet Show Tweet Summary for April "And You, Your Point of View Is__?" is an opportunity for an online, open class-style audience, to ponder of topic tweets which may or may not be factual. Host: Sherlene Stevens. Sponsor Associate: A Time To Learn Academy. First, audience or Tweetees, if you believe that "voices" that you may be hearing are telling you to do a bad thing, STOP ! Simply stop and don't do the action that is being said to you. You'll thank self later, okay. Having faith + Drug addiction+Hearing Voices = A long, but possible, life experience's battle. Don't think that hearing voices cease with health medicines or street drugs. There is so much drug usage in the United States that most States simply assume that all their citizens have a drug addiction challenge. Most drug usage (narcotics, meds), in our country, is to decrease actions of hearing voices. Medical mental medicines can b...

Do's and Dont's Point out that bodies come in a lot of shapes and sizes. Provide examples of potential role models that your child looks up to. Don't allow your child's concern about body type take over their life. Help your child remember what's really important. Know your own feelings about body type. Be careful what you say and how your body expresses it around your child. Don't judge others on the basis of their unique appearance, body size or shape. Whomever is the cook at your unique household, be the example for your child of healthy eating habits by teaching food planning. Danger Signals Your child will not eat foods that contain fat.

I want to review some possible dangers when working from home (or small space areas), or to people who spend most of their time indoors or at home. Throughout the year, I will post additional articles of topic-focus available to your unique household and/or family business.

Be aware of the words Toxic, Flammable or Combustible, Corrosive or Strong Sensitizer, Danger, Poison, Warning, or Caution . Suggestion : Make your own cleaning products. For example, mayonnaise can lift crayon marks from furniture. Make furniture polish from 3 parts olive oil and 1 part white vinegar. Cornstarch can keep carpets clean and remove grease stains. Baking soda is great for cleaning the body and your household items: re...

S2S.  Maclin is a doctor who has studied over 70,000 African-American hair loss cases, www.drmacmd@gmail.com Maclin provided an interesting article of possible relaxed hair care side effect that I thought I would share during Native American Appreciation Month (Nov.) Chemical-Free Curl advised until the age of 16 for healthier young females in our communities. Avoid perming/relaxing if you are experiencing current hair loss or scalp issues. Avoid relaxers if you have been diagnosed with fibroids or infertility. Avoid relaxers if you are currently pregnant. Why? Most hair loss is attributed to early perming and abuse (such as leaving perm on longer than suggested, perming too frequently, usage of the wrong strength of perm for hair texture). Sherlene's advice: I know with my mixed cultural hair I have a challenge with wanting to overperm - make it straight realizing it will only be that way for a few days. How many Native-American fem...

From the Editor Ladies, I hope your week hasn't been too challenging. As we prepare for the Memorial Day holiday, please take time out to pray for the 7 United Methodist black churches located in Kent County, Maryland.  Again, there are two pastors resigning and will be leaving as of June 2, 2012. These are seven churches with no consistent leadership. I am quite sure that there must be a better way to fellowship. If only they would vote for me. I CARE. I KNOW. I AM WILLING TO BE YOUR ACTING PASTOR 7 CHURCHES. My attending church didn't even have Easter Sunday service this year. It is so frustrating when you are trying to guide your own children by attempting some type of normal family structure and bonding time when divorced. Are you satisfied with your church/mosque/temple leadership?
