"Keep your head up and always push forward. You CAN. You WILL.



"I sit here at McDonalds, drinking a sprite. Okay, it's my third sprite. A lady and a small boy stands in the corner... A man gets up and walks towards the door. She speaks. "Good morning sir, could you spare some cash so I can get a cheeseburger? All I have is enough for my son's  happy meal.' He looks around to see if anyone is watching. 'Screw you, Starve, you F....! .' He says and walks out the door. She just shakes her head and walks to the counter with the boy. She orders a happy meal for the boy. The teen at the counter tells her her card left a balance of 37 cents. She and the boy walk to her beat-up Chevy car where she digs and finds the change. She and the boy sit down with the happy meal, and she sets up his food and his tiny drink cup. 
She asks him if mommy can have a fry, to which he feeds her the one he just took a bite off of.(I kinda chuckled to myself.) I walk to the soda machine and refill my cup, Powerade this time. And the teen from the counter is refiling the napkins. I hand him my debit card. And tell him to give her 2 doubles and a large fry and a large drink on me. I tell him not to tell her its from me. I wrote a note on a napkin with my sharpie I use at work. "Keep your head up and always push forward. You CAN. You WILL. I know it will work out for you and the kid, I've been there myself!"

 He brings me my debit card. Then walks back to the counter and takes the tray of food to her. He says 'This was bought for you.' 'By who?' 'I'm not supposed to say, but it wasn't me.' He says and walks back to the counter. She reads the note on the napkin as tears start to roll down her cheeks. She fills the drink cup and starts to eat. The child trades her a chicken nugget, for a bite of the burger.(I chuckle again.) After they both finish their meal, they start to leave. They walk past me sitting here and I smile at the boy and look at her and she whispers "thank you" I whisper back "for what?" She smiles. I wink. I look down at the boy and I say have a good day Life is hard. Always be willing to make someone's life a little easier. Little things make a big impact. For any single parent stuck in a similar place... Keep your head up and always push forward. You CAN. You WILL."

The Lazarus Cure

One day my friend Jake hopped onto his bicycle and, like he had done many times before, my good friend and "weekend warrior" entered himself into a long-distance racing event.  The event was to last seven days. But Jake  never  made it to the end of the first day.  He suffered a  massive heart attack  and died before reaching the hospital.  He was 63 years of age.  When I heard the news I was as shocked as anyone.  I am no stranger to death, but when someone with vitality is suddenly snatched away like this it is a sombre reminder that no-one is immune to the laws of biology, and that  we take our fate in our hands every single day that we take our health for granted.   I do not know what killed Jake that day. Many factors might have contributed. Stress, diet, high blood pressure coupled with poor medical intervention, or none at all... Who knows? But I can say two things with some degree of certainty. ...

BREAKTHROUGH!

99% of life on Earth depends on this "Ultra-Food"... and yet, less than 1% of Human Beings eat it! According to NASA research, if this "ultra-food" disappeared from the planet, nearly all life would cease to exist. And yet, this super-food was not available to humans in its rawest, purest form. Until now... What I'm about to share with you is Mother Nature’s Original Super-food. And when you ingest it, this ultra-food "triggers" your body to create trillions of healthy new cells! It's an "ultra-food" that you may have never heard of, but it's been around since the beginning of life on Earth. Up until recently, this ultra-food was simply not available for human consumption in its rawest, purest form. And that's too bad… Because just one dose contains hundreds of nutrients, vitamins and over 92 trace minerals. And because of the size of this "ultra-food" (it's about two microns, this is four times smaller than...
