To many irons in the fire. Does your life ever feel like there are to many irons in the fire? Often times when I feel like life is overwhelming and crazy it's because there are too many irons in the fire. Many times when it feels there are to many irons in the fire that I need to stop, take a look at everything and prioritize what needs done first so I can feel less overwhelmed. Usually that means making a list with the most important things first and sometimes that even means having my husband do or help with some of the things. What do you do when it seems like there are to many irons in the fire? #prioritize #irons #fire #important #list

As July 4 approaches, my thoughts turn to those brave and patriotic Americans who defended our freedoms. One of Family Legacy Video's (https://lnkd.in/e8FJSfE) early legacy video clients was one of those Americans - a B-17 pilot flying perilous bombing runs out of England. Here's a brief excerpt from his story. #familylegacyvideo #familylegacy #familywealth #estatemanagement #lifestories #campdenwealth #campdenfamilyconnect #digitalstorytelling #familygovernance

😀 Fantastic FriYAY 😃 🔥Does ever feel like you have too many irons in the fire? 🔥I know it sure does for me and often that means I need to stop and take a look at all the irons in the fire and make a list of what's top priority and then prioritize after that. 🔥Sometimes you may feel lost or like you are drowning in the fire but I promise you aren't you just need to stop and take a step back and look at what needs done and prioritize. 🔥When you're prioritizing the irons in the fire, see what things you can have someone else do to help lesson the irons in the fire that you need to take care of. 🔥I really liked this quote. 🔥"Step into the fire of self-discovery. This fire will not burn you, it will only burn what you are not." WoodenUrecover.com 🔥 🔥I felt that sometimes we need to step back from the irons in the fire so we can step into the fire of self-discovery. 🔥When you have to many irons in the fire what do you do to make it easier? #selfdiscovery #irons #fire #prioritize #burn #helpyou #fightfire #water

"A Question of Limes and Limits" In 1795, the British Navy finally embraced limes to combat scurvy, but only after decades of hesitation. By the time they acted, an estimated 100,000 sailors had died unnecessarily from the disease. What if they had acted sooner? At NAT Global Campus, we teach a balanced approach: evidence-based therapies where available, but also the safe, anecdotal practices that show promise. We’re not anti-science; we’re pro-results. We invite you to join the conversation: Should rehab professionals limit themselves to what’s been "proven", or should we push the boundaries of our practice to offer our patients every safe and potential benefit?

Is Biden living in the real White House? ask you a simple question: this dirty guy (aka 10% big guy) move-in 3 years ago, what in hell, he never changed the prior tenant Trump leftover golden color drapes? Once upon a time, I was a tenant too, and most lease duration usually one year. Although not rich in that time, however no matter how good those leftover drapes, I always took it down, then change to my drapes (new or old doesn't matter) with my favorable color. Later as an landlord with many years of leasing out rooms, I have never seen such a special tenant like Biden. Biden and Trump obviously have different favorable colors respectively, supposedly Biden should have changed the drapes. Only in one case it will produce current effect: Biden is played by an actor, and the oval office is not in the genuine WhiteHouse. Because if Bidan dare to change it, then it will generate an obvious discrepancy between the real WhiteHouse and the fake one; and the real one often opens to public visitors as a convention, thus Bidan will not be affordable to the ugly aftermath of drape change, he doesn't want anyone knowing his fake presidency. So long time ago I known he in the Castle Rock or say studio of some movie company. There is a scientific way to verify, but I feel not worth my time to do it; anyone can experiment it with my idea if wish so: create a petition to the White House, ask for drape change to a different color, then mobilize at least 100K people to co-sign. Watch the result: if Biden can do this frivolous little thing, okay, he should be real president; else if not, 100% fake!

Military / Veteran Suicide Awareness November was National Military and Veteran Families month. Throughout the month, DIRECTV’s Suicide Awareness Veterans Engaged (S.A.V.E.) program provided additional focus on the critical suicide rate in the military and veteran community. By discussing how the importance of family, networks, peer groups, and a sense of community delivers support to veterans, the goal is to prevent and slow the veteran suicide rate. This dire issue is not one that will resolve on its own, and the data is trending in the wrong direction. The holiday season can be especially challenging for those contemplating suicide. I am sharing the links to the DIRECTV efforts to further awareness and understanding. I hope you will take a look, share, and engage if you feel a calling. EVERYONE’S support is critical.   Video 1 (11/10/2023) Kickoff – Mike Wittrock: https://lnkd.in/e4wAYyae Video 2 (11/13/2023) Overview Video – Jeff Cole2: https://lnkd.in/eG7hDjPG Video 3 (11/16/2023) Merging Vets & Players (MVP)- Sergio Cuevas: https://lnkd.in/eUP_8YiF Video 4 (11/20/2023) US Vets / LA Collective – Tess Banko: https://lnkd.in/e_nWDkme Video 5 (11/22/2023) The Mission Continues (TMC) – Miguel Vazquez: https://lnkd.in/ePqAqXHD Video 6 (11/27/2023) Military Basketball Association (MBA) – Mike Meyers: https://lnkd.in/eTk9Wpkq Video 7 (11/27/2023) Wrap Up / Call To Action – Jeff Cole: https://lnkd.in/eBfkbetm   I also want to highlight the activities of an additional grass root awareness efforts that my wife Kathy & I happenstance encountered on a recent road trip the last week of November, 2023, from Missouri to North Carolina, and near the Tennessee border. Completely random in our travels, with no set roadmap, we approached a rise in the Tennessee hills and in a flash saw 3 walkers, and the US and Marine Corps flag proudly and prominently flowing in the crisp morning air. We both looked at each other and knew, we must turnaround to meet the walking travelers and understand their purpose. Lo and behold, they were walking from Parris Island, SC to Cincinnati, OH, to raise awareness of suicide in the military and veteran community. Stunning. Please take a look at the link https://lnkd.in/etYabckx (contains adult language), read their story, and if so inclined, please support their cause and Carry The Weight efforts, which we are so directly aligned with.   There are many efforts across the country, from Veterans Administration,  large orgs, small orgs, non-profits, and many individuals to raise awareness and engage with at-risk veterans to lower the suicide rate. Our thanks go out to all that are engaged with the challenge, and realize the tremendous efforts needed to address suicide in the military and veteran communities. Please reach out to those groups to see how you can help if you are inspired to join the challenge!

I want to celebrate that Shields & Stripes is able to help these 8 military folks and first responders. I don't share much about the physical, emotional, and mental challenges I had during my time in the military, but after 3 years of being retired, but after reading this post by Steven Nisbet I feel empowered and compelled to say something. Starting at MEPS and continuing through basic, AIT and every single command I supported in my 24+ year career, my leadership told me to keep my medical problems to myself. Being sick was weakness, being injured affected readiness, being depressed would cost me my clearance. I didn't go to sick call, I didn't go on quarters, I didn't report head injuries, I didn't complain about broken bones, numbness in my arms, I minimized SERIOUS medical issues in order to deploy three times, and I never seriously participated mental health therapy. The VA has been a great resource for me to start to undue some of the physical impact my body suffered, but I was never able to crack the mental health code by using VA resources. To me, I felt like an imposter, like how did my trauma compare to that of some of my peers with purple hearts and CABs? How did my trauma compare to the experiences of Vietnam era veterans like my father? After white-knuckling my way through sobriety, and starting to find value in myself as a person, I reluctantly applied for and was accepted into the Shields & Stripes program. It was through their concentrated and collaborative, whole body approach to healing that I was finally able to unpack the container I had filled with trauma, depression, moral injuries, anger, shame, guilt, anxiety, and fear. We all deserve to be whole; to be free of the burdens we carry from our experiences; to be the best version of ourselves. If you are an active duty service member or veteran, or if you are a current or retired LE professional or first responder, you should apply to the program. If you believe that those who day in and day out put their lives on the line deserve to be whole, then please consider reposting, sharing, advocating for, or donating to Shields & Stripes. Feel free to message me if you want to know more about my experience.

What is the Matrix? Hood sank stern first with 1,418 men aboard. Only three survived: Ordinary Signalman Ted Briggs (1923–2008), Able Seaman Robert Tilburn (1921–1995), and Midshipman William John Dundas (1923–1965). Given that it is improbable that all the sailors who perished were "the worst sinners in Jerusalem" - or that the 3 sailors who were spared were indispensable VIPs, essential for the divine plan - we face the unpleasant conclusion that a) either life is a lottery or b) we must admit that there are hidden variables; I find it more convenient to believe the latter explanation, but your mileage may vary. At any rate, and shifting focus from a war-like event to peaceful activities, the more one works in healthcare (where for instance triage life-and-death decisions are a constant theme) the more he/she is motivated/forced to seek a soothing explanation for what they witness; which is the seeming randomness of terminal events.
