Betrayal Friendship Wealthy Wives

Marry a Plastic Surgeon = Lavish Mansion-Diamonds by the Kilo & Bigger Boobs Pretty much summarized some of the famous "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", "Orange County", "Atlanta", "Miami" and "New Jersey". Yeah! Even for me its sad to recognize that I'm very addictive to follow these series on TV, all their DRAMA, their backstabbing (which happens a lot), their incredible and latest fashion, their professional make up, their hair styles, OMG their shoes WOW! Their perfect flawless look, their design mansions Oh Dear God how extravagant way of living! Excess & luxury all around. Long story short, I was enchanted to see and follow their episodes every day or wherever I had the chance. You would of thought they were perfectly Happy ... Not!!! There is an intense competition among all of them, as a common denominator they all and each one of those women wants to be the more popular and accepted, the more gracious, the ONE that gets along with every one else, the most beautiful, the wealthiest, the one with the trophy husband (successful, wealthy & most handsome) All of those "beautiful wives" PRETEND to be each other "friend" However, their very susceptible touchy feelings don't allow them to be or to see a true FRIEND when they have it in front. Their HUGE ego is always acting up as a translator of other peoples' messages. If one say something about another one that wasn't present, Oh boy! Their true colors come up float and very, very uncolor languages goes back and forth, there is a lot of crying and then, for the most part a FAKE kiss & a hug finalizing that tete a tete, if only setting the grounds for the next one. At least myself, I couldn't believe that such animosity could come from that seemingly beautiful woman/women, here is to be a true statement "Money can't buy Class" I understand that all of this drama and cat fights are for the most part scripted because, sensationalism sells but, I wonder if they were "true" friends before they sign up for the TV series how is their relationship today? Is it stronger, weaker or nonexistent? Regardless, all of them have more money to purchase more diamonds, bigger mansions or even friendship. Hey! Don't look at me as if I was ridiculously crazy, when money is not object, this is the sign of times, this is the name of the beast. Its interesting if anything else, to see how people that seemingly has everything to be happy are everything but. Manipulated by greed and envy, their shallow mentality blinds them to see a true "friend" among the crowd, being tolerant, respectful and loving of other people because, in reality, let's face it! In spite of all of their Silicon implants none is perfect. Let me say that again, NONE is perfect! None of us! Conclusion: Seeing their stage lives, dialogues and agendas make me appreciate even more my very unpretentious life, we have a few selected friends, we share laughs, joys and sadness together, see our children grow and help each other in times of need and we all know that we have in each other a shoulder to cry and a good listener. No extravagant mansions, no flashy convertibles or limousines, our custom jewelry is genuine from China, our fashion is whatever we can rescue on end season sale every year, and our vehicles are those that we kept in spite of the enticing "cash for clunkers" Would I continue watching and following those series? "you bet you"! I love to see their latest fashion, their professional make up, Oh! heck you know the rest. OK, the "New Atlanta" is coming up now, bye, bye!

Commercial Dumpster and a House for Sale Sign

His Earthly Possessions after his Departure About 3 weeks ago one of our neighbors passed on I only saw him once as he was coming out of his drive way and I was driving by his home, the general believe was that he was sick, a hermitage or both. His abandoned landscape was and still is in very much need of care and attention, someone sporadic visit him and for the last year or more his Corvette its been seating in his driveway. Well, as we all know its a fact of life that everything that is now alive someday will die, and it was his turn about 3 weeks ago. I saw the customary announcement at our local Post Office, it also mention his age, (very young for this standards), his photo, they also mentioned that he went through a long time battle with this illness and more details. I knew right away it was him because, many changes took place in his home within the first week. Someone, pull curtains down, brought a commercial size dumpster, "House for Sale" sign by one of our local Realtor agent and a U-Haul small Van probably to haul whatever was of any value to that people. It was very sad to see that whatever that man kept as personal belongings dear to him were now in the dumpster and by now in the land field. Its a fact that the departure of a love one challenge our endurance, our emotions and most certainly our finances for within very short period of time everything has to be taking care of, and every single arrangement takes MONEY to achieve. My friends in my humble opinion is NEVER a good time to "Sign out" but, its always a good time to prepare yourself for the inevitable, have your Will done, your finances well defined, name a Trustee to take care of things the way you want them after you are gone, etc. But, most of all please, live your life in grace to the fullest and be grateful every minute for we do not know when or how we will have to sign out. Do you have Vintage Collections, Heirlooms or something of any monetary value sell it keep a percentage, pay your bills and enjoy the rest, travel, eat, enjoy your music, or your favorite hobby invest it in yourself so, none will fight over after you are gone. Soon enough, our STUFF will be in the dumpster and our home with a "House for Sale" sign.

Successful Blogger with Sedentary Attitude

How do you measure Success when your Health is in obvious Jeopardy? Recently, we had the opportunity to assist to this Dinner Conference about Social Media, how to use it in our favor, secrets exposure, "only the successful people knows", you can imagine the tons of comments and personal experiences, everyone more or less thought that, their concepts were the best because, that work in their case. Many of the participants are friends and former neighbors since we all kept in touch after we moved away 5 years ago and, of course some new people that we've never met before. One of the active participants and case in point of "Success" was this young man (that I remember last time I saw him was about 18 and very much a loner geek) Well, now to my open mouth surprise he is a "Successful Blogger" and about 180 Lbs overweight yes, my amaze was so obvious because, he used to be a very skinny guy. Me and my husband look at each other and wonder what ever happened to him. Although, I promise, did not want to be that direct, we engaged into a conversation with him and through it, I guess he felt my wonder and he casually mentioned that its been a few years that all he does is seating in front of the computer no one but, several latest tech electronics that he can afford. He went to tell us that, he does "not take breaks for is a waste of time", he order pizzas and all sort of fast food serve and eaten (yes! you guessed it) by his computers in his Studio, hardly ever go out, this Reunion was a rare occasion for him to leave his home, can't say the same for his addiction to texts or whatever he was doing Smart Phone on hand. I always knew the young man had a lot of potential I just never knew that because his sedentary way of living would awake obesity in him and yet, very reluctant to make any changes. At one point he did refer as "a small price to pay for his Success" ... Really? It was quite clear that he does not have the minuscule intention to modify his lifestyle not to incorporate an exercise regime and balance nutrition and immediate health check up. By his comments I got the impression that he thinks that he can loose that weight and get back in shape "anytime he wants to" "because youth is on his side" Really? So, we enjoy the reunion and all those well kept and uncover "just for us Social Media Success Secrets" However, I'm so sad of the fact that, this young man with so much potential don't know or choose not to know that Belly Fat is not only unsightly but insidious kind of fat. "Those who store fat in their bellies are at higher risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers compared to those who store fat in their hips and tights" By Elizabeth Agnvall "Battling Belly Fat" in AARP Bulletin July-August 2012 Isn't Success the definition of an ideal equilibrium (the closest possible to ideal) of our way of living? Personal Care, Family, Work/Career (pay bills), Spiritual fulfillment & Recreation in my humble opinion these are the base of our lives and when you rearranged your priorities overlooking the proper balance, things could get out of hand and the consequences might not be the way we predicted them. We all know that we all have ONLY one live and we have NOT second chances to make it right. Be smart my friends, introduce equilibrium into your life and be Happy!
