Awakenings: Thank You, Soldiers!

by catnipoflife

See on Scoop.it – Sizzlin’ News

Awakenings honors our soldiers, past, present and future…without them, America would not be the America as we know it today. Next time you see a soldier, shake his/her hand and express how much you appreciate the services performed and sacrifices endured by each and every one. They are the life’s blood of American freedom!

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

Honor, respect and support the United States of America military!

Awakenings: Terror in America

by catnipoflife

See on Scoop.it – Awakenings: America & Beyond

Patriot’s Day, April 15, 2013, will be long remembered not only for its significance as a civic holiday, uniquely a New England holiday, but for the tragic terrorist bombings that occurred in Boston, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, this is not the first of such horrific events to occur on this important day in history… Read MORE @Awakenings.

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

A prayerful moment…

Take a moment to lift your heart in thoughtful prayer for those injured and for the families of those whose lives were lost as a result of this terrible tragedy. Their plight is one of both emotional and physical trauma. Events of today changed their lives forever!

Awakenings: Barbie

by catnipoflife
BildLilliDoll

Bild Lilli Doll en.wikipedia.org

This Day in History: March 9th 1959 – Barbie Debuts

The Barbie doll, what an iconic figure! Yet, amidst her beauty has definitely been her share of criticism. Comparatively speaking, with a figure of 39-21-33 if she were a real woman, it is no wonder this little beauty led to a lot of controversy. Many felt Barbie provided little girls with an unrealistic and harmful example thereby fostering a negative body image.

Do you know the real story behind the Barbie doll? The picture to the left is NOT Barbie. Who is she and what is her connection to the iconic Barbie we knew as a child and is still a favorite of young girls today?

The little ‘lady’ in the picture is “Lilli – a German post-war, sassy and ambitious cartoon character that had no reservations talking about sex.”

Awakenings: Crisis in America: Homelessness

by catnipoflife

See on Scoop.it – America & Beyond

Awakenings is proud to feature The Gem and Mineral Diva, who is not your ordinary diva. What makes this diva a diva? By definition, the term diva originally represented great female opera singers, almost always sopranos. Today’s “diva” describes any extremely independent and wildly talented woman. And, that is Johnna Crider, founder of A4TH (Art4TheHomeless).

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

Support those organizations already established for the purpose of helping the homeless. These people may be experiencing temporary homelessness or chronic homelessness. The numbers fluctuate since many persons are just one serious illness or job loss away from becoming homeless.

Awakenings: How do you celebrate Presidents’ Day?

by catnipoflife

See on Scoop.it – America & Beyond

What does Presidents’ Day mean to you? Do you have the day off from work? Are you seeking out the best deals and sales? Are you into Clothing and Accessories, Shoes and Purses, Home and Garden, Health and Well Being, Tech/Computers/Accessories? Slow down. . .actually, STOP!

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

Presidents’ Day is so much more than bargain basement prices on a single day of the year. Celebrate America, celebrate the leaders instrumental in establishing and maintaining America’s freedom!

Awakenings: Southern Fried Chicken

by catnipoflife

See on Scoop.it – catnipoflife

Nothing says Southern like fried chicken! It is the epitome of the southern America comfort food. It is a staple, its own food group…fried to a golden crisp with juicy mouth-watering goodness at first bite, simply just too ‘ba-a-a-li-i-i-cious’!

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

Can’t eat the fried like I want to but sure enjoy it when I can every now and then!

See on awakenings2012.blogspot.com

Enjoy the poem Echoes in Wartime (Good Ol’ Southern Fried Chicken) which was featured in Poetic Bond II, 2012. The poem depicts the love and loss of Southern fried chicken before, during and after war.

Awakenings: Arrival of the “Ghost Dance”

by catnipoflife

See on Scoop.it – America & Beyond

Arrival of the “Ghost Dance“

This Day in History: December 29, 1890 –
Massacre at Wounded Knee 

How did it begin, this hate for the Indian nation?  They were, after all, native to America well before the arrival of the “white man.”

Sharla Shults‘s insight:

Such senseless killing and for what end? And the senselessness has not stopped to this day!
