“Oprah Winfrey: Where is Oprah?”

Hello, this Kris, welcome to my Blog Cast.  Today I want to title this.

“ Oprah Winfrey: Where Are You?”

Today’s topic is powerful people. Who would you name as one of the most powerful people in the world?  What name comes to mind when you hear those words?

When I think of powerful people the first person that comes to my mind is not a leader of any country. Not our president. Not some diplomat.

It is Oprah Winfrey. We all know that Oprah is one of the most influential women alive.  She survived a hard childhood to become one of the most powerful women in the known world.

I could give your lots of statistics about her standing in the world. About her wealth, but I will not.  Let us agree to agree that she is number one.

And there lies my problem.  How can I reach a person that is so far above me that I am like a piece of sand on the beach somewhere?

I have a story to tell. I have had many stories to tell. I have tried numerous times to reach out to Oprah to no avail.

I have searched many of the websites that list how you can get in contact with famous people, but all they want is your money to join their club, with no guarantee that you will really contact the person of your dreams.

I want to reach out to people like Oprah because they have the power to help me get my story heard. I have several stories to tell, and I do not know how to reach the people that need to hear the stories.

Endless journey

How do you reach someone who is unreachable? How can I have a moment of their time when there are so many others reaching out and grasping as well.

I admit that I feel bad that I am grasping at straws, invading their space, excuse me, trying to invade their space, when they have a right to live their life in peace.

But I think with power comes the responsibility to acknowledge the little guy.  I believe with the wealth, fame, and the comfort of their life they should have an open mind. and a kind heart toward others who are struggling.

Let me stop here and shout it out to the world that Oprah has done amazing things for many people. I would never want to take that away from her. I applaud her.  If there was one person alive that I would like to be like, it would be Oprah.  

I am not a conceited person. I am not a guru of any kind. I am just a woman of 70 who has survived many things in her lifetime, who wants to share her journey with others, in order that it might lighten their load as they make their journey.

I have sent out books. I have sent out emails. I have looked at websites galore trying to find a way to reach out to Oprah, and others of her level of esteem to ask for their help, and in return all I have heard is silence.

Long ago I reached out to Oprah when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer.  I had just quit my job of 21 years to go back to school to get my nursing degree.  I left a great job, with great health insurance, to become a student with terrible health insurance, struggling to support a 16-year-old son, while going through chemotherapy and radiation.

During this time, I was working, going to school, being bombarded with toxins, and trying to survive to reach my goal of becoming a nurse. I reached out to Oprah, and I reached out to Ellen, we all know Ellen, with the hope that they might want to hear my story. That they might want to follow my journey and see if I survived.  In reality I was hoping for divine intervention as I was scared to death.

I had no idea when I first started my cancer treatments if I would survive. If I would finish my journey and become a nurse.

Well, I have survived, and I want to tell that story and reach others in  the hope that I may help them.

Into the silence came silence.  I never heard back from Oprah or Ellen.   I never received any acknowledgement that my plea was heard.

It was heartbreaking to not hear from these two wonderful women. I felt like I did not matter. I felt sad that neither of them felt my story was important enough for them to hear.  I felt degraded because I had knocked at their door, and no one heard me knocking.

Many years later I wrote my book on surviving breast cancer, titled  Screw Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Take Action Now. The New Mantra. The Controversial Rantings of a Breast Cancer Survivor.

I wrote my book with the desire to encourage others to take action rather than wait and see as I did. I listened to all the health care providers as they told me “ let’s watch, let’s wait.” 

I listened to the breast specialist as she told me it was “nothing, nothing, go to school.”   Sadly, I have known many others who have died from cancer while they were “watching and waiting.”

My book is small. Less than 120 pages, an afternoon read, but it has a very powerful message.

The book has been available on Amazon for almost a year. I still send out emails to television stations, newscasters, and others. I have sent out copies to nursing schools and media giants hoping they will see value in my book only to receive back empty silence.

It is heartbreaking to be caught in this void of emptiness. It brings tears to my eyes that nobody feels my story is worth their time.

Well, I have another story.  A new story.  One that has lay hidden for sixty-two years.  It is a nightmare that has haunted me my whole life.  It is a story that others need to hear.  It is a truth that needs to reach others so they can tell their stories.

Would you like to know the name of the ghost who has haunted me my whole life?  Would you like to know who the monster was that caused endless nightmares for years?  Who the person was who left his little daughter with her heart filled with sadness for all of her days? 

That ghost is my father as he molested me when I was eight and a half years old.  That story has lay hidden, not to be revealed, until I wrote my book “Shattered Trust A story of Incest.”  Both of my books are available on Amazon.

After writing my book on my breast cancer experience and continuing to be haunted by the waves of sadness that slammed into me at the oddest times.  I decided that I would write my story in the hope of releasing the demons that haunted me.  I had not decided to release the story in book format, but once I had written the words, I felt I needed to share the story. 

Again, I have reached out to Oprah many times trying to find someone who is able to share with her or suggest to her stories that she might find noteworthy. Again, all I hear is silence. 

I need help in reaching others.  I am an unknown.  I am a speck of sand in this great big world of the internet.  Help me reach her so that she can hear the stories, and perhaps be willing to share my stories with others.

Both stories are of survival although I never thought of myself as a survivor until I wrote my books. 

One of the statistics that I found states that every 9 minutes a child somewhere in this country is being molested by someone they know and trust, possibly someone they love.  

Every 9 minutes somewhere in this country a child is being molested by someone they know and love. But I say those statistics are wrong because we know that most cases of incest and rape go unreported.  Most victims do not tell their stories. Most cannot bear the telling of it.

I have decided it is time for my story to come out even though it has been sixty-two years (this summer) since the incest happened.

No one can tell another when to release their story.  Recovery takes as long as it takes.

So, I want to ask, where is Oprah?  How can I reach out to her? Who can open that magic door and let me inside?  Will she ever be reachable in an unreachable world?

I am sending this out into the clouds hoping that someone will be able to help me share this story. If there is anyone who has an ear to the grapevine or a door to the garden of hope. Please help me.

I am not a Prince or Princess. I am not a famous newscaster. There are no stars surrounding my image.  I am just someone with a story to tell who hopes to help others release their stories to the world as well.  Stories that may put our demons to rest.

I have this blog and there is a contact page for anyone who wants to reach me. I would love for someone to reach out and tell me how to talk with Oprah.  How can I send her my books and get my stories into her hands?  May the walls of silence crumble and fall so that a gateway will open to the magic that is Oprah.

It is hard for me to ask people for help.  I do not usually reach out to others.  I like to pretend that I am strong and able. But today I am asking for help. I am going to send this blog piece out into the clouds once again. Out into the empty space. I hope it will travel through the universe hitting its target.

One thing you may not have noticed about me in reading my blog is that I always try to look on the bright side of things. I always lean towards looking at our blessings.

And for today I am going to say that if you have something that you want to share, if you have a dream then reach out as well, do not let fear stand in your way. The one thing that we can all do is try, try to get our story told. Try to make our dreams come true.

Do not let fear get in the way. Do not let life stop you. Do not become saddened by the silence that may greet you, but continue to tell your story so that somewhere the echo may be heard. Maybe someone will hear your voice.

And I will end this as I always end, with my heartiest wish that you may have a great day today, because you and I  BOTH deserve it. And thank you for listening.

Naked Stars Everywhere.

Greetings this is Kris from Lifeview101.com

I am going to go on a tangent tonight because I just can’t take it when every time, I look at Yahoo, some star somewhere is showing me their near naked body. It is like looking at a rag magazine there are so many female would be, used to be, stars. exposing their nakedness. Many of them showing us how at the ripe old age of 30 or 40 or 50 they look wonderful. I want to smack the ones that do the post baby body pictures. As if that is the most important thing they should be thinking about right now. Really!  I don’t give a dam about their bodies, how are the babies doing?

Why do they care about how they look? Why are they constantly flashing naked or near naked pictures at us?  Is it just to get our attention?  Is it just to see our reaction to them being exposed? Are they that insecure?  Do they really need that much attention?   

I am appalled every time I look at Yahoo, but I can’t resist. It’s like I just have to look and see what kind of garbage I’m going to be inundated with because that’s what happens five or six or seven times in a row. Some star or some social media star posing naked.

I can’t stand it. Why do they feel that they have to do this in this day and age when we’re talking about the “ Me too movement” along with all the stories about the many mentors, coaches, and others molesting innocent people. And all the violence that is going on.

Why do these women think that they need to show us their body?  Are they doing it to make themselves feel worth wild, as if we don’t care about who they are unless they’re standing there half naked?

I say it’s got to stop. These women have got to stop feeding into the fact that their bodies are more important than the person who they really have become.

What about their brain? Not one of them has shown or highlighted for us what wonderful things they have done for anybody or any community. Here are these rich women and they care more about flaunting their six pack everywhere, and then they care about doing anything great. There is not a damn word written about what outstanding things they’ve done for children or battered women or cancer patients or old women that need help to retire like myself.

No, it’s just another naked picture, after another naked picture of themselves. Why can’t they see people need help?  Right now there are so many stories about some newscaster, another teacher, another coach, another Hollywood mongrel who has abused someone under their care, and all the these stars care about are how they “still have their beach bodies.”

Naked?

Now I understand it is their right, it is their body, they can do with it what they want, I understand that saying, but you must remember that part of the sexual attraction between human beings for most of us is how that other person looks. We use our eyes, our touch, our sense of smell to become aroused in order to mate, that is what nature intended when we see a beautiful body male or female.

You cannot tell me there isn’t someone, somewhere who isn’t getting aroused looking at JLo’s six pack, or her slithering down a pole. Or seeing Beyonce’s breast, or someone’s neither regions peaking through a see-through outfit. You cannot tell me that isn’t stimulating someone’s libido. What idiot would believe that is not happening?

Do you not think there are things going on in the dark with them on the big screen?  If you think that you are a fool.

But here is my question, what happens to the beast you have aroused in your state of near nakedness if there is no one to soothe them.  Who will get the brunt of that energy? 

My point is your near nakedness, or naked pictures are stirring up some fiend somewhere. When you think of the masses that look at Yahoo in these places, imagine the number of people doing things in the dark that we don’t want to imagine.

I am not trying to be crude; I’m not trying to be cruel, but these are images that are stirring up desire in people. How can they not? These are beautiful women showing everything they have to show.

I want to tell you that statistics show us that sexual trauma, sexual abuse, sexual molestation are happening all the time. The numbers are  staggering and are constantly growing.  I looked up a site and one site said that every 9 minutes a child is being molested by someone they know and love.

I want you to hear this again, EVERY 9 minutes a child somewhere in this country is being molested by someone they know and trusted.’

Isn’t she a doll. She felt so pretty.

Doesn’t that make you gag! Now I’m not saying these people posing nearly nude on Yahoo are causing that, or it’s their fault, but when you stand there posing naked, or near naked, I think that is definitely a mixed message.

Yes, you have the “right” to dress how you want, but you cannot expect to not cause a reaction when any normal human would have a reaction.  I think in some dark place within you that is what you are hoping to occur. You want to show people you have the “power.”

I do not know how you cannot expect someone, somewhere to become aroused when your lovely body is on display for everyone’s viewing pleasure. When you stand and flash pictures of being naked.

I don’t know how you cannot expect people to become aroused when our eyes are part of the sexual arousal makeup of human beings.

So, what is your point in posing nude? What is your point showing us your beach bodies again? What is your point in flashing your breast or butts or whatever else you are showing off.

What is the dam point? Are they trying to make us fatties feel bad?  Are they trying to make us ugly ducklings feel uglier?  Are they trying to show us that the good in our heart is worthless if you do not have a six pack.

What gratification are they getting out of flashing us? Are they really that insecure?  Do they think that no one will notice them if they are not near naked?

I would like each and every one of them who have posed half naked or naked in the last 30 days to explain to me “what you are gaining from that exposure.” Are you so insecure that you feel you have to flash us pictures of yourself, so we do not forget who you are?

She is so much more than a pretty face.

I want to hear what great things these millionaires are doing for all the people that need help.

I want to hear how they are helping their communities that are suffering right now. All the children that cannot afford to do their school lessons because they do not have computer service at home or because their internet services are mediocre.

I want to hear how they are feeding the hungry.  I want to hear how they are helping single mothers support their children in this time of need.

I want to hear how they have started little companies for our children to find employment at as all the little moms, and pops are closing up, and taking away our teens work force.

Instead of helping all we hear and see are these wealthy stars or semi-stars running around showing their naked bodies “going look at me look at me aren’t I beautiful” when they could be creating jobs for people. When they could be starting companies that would help those in need of work. When they could be starting some kind of grant system to help those who no longer have the funds to support their families.

Let us stop flashing our nakedness around, let us stop thinking that the most important thing about us is our bodies as I feel that is what these women on Yahoo are telling millions of viewers. They are saying that they are so important because they are willing to tone their butts, and chisel their abs.

What about their children, their daughters.? How are they feeling, and how are they going to feel if they get a little baby fat on themselves.?  Are they going to puke in the toilet, are they going to refuse to eat so they can look like mommy and daddy? Remember as the hormones start raging in their teens many new things happen to their bodies. We do not want them ashamed of that, we want them to accept how they look in the moment.  Not how they will look after a tummy tuck.

What are these kids going think is most important? How they look or what they do for the world?

Image if the caterpillar would have cut up his body. We would have missed this.

I think it’s time to stop flaunting your bodies to the world, who gives a “shit,” that is not who we are, that is not what makes us great.

I hope that is not what makes you great, but what can make you great is that you have the ability, the connections, the funds to help so many people.

Instead, you spend hours at the gym toning your abs so that you can flash them on Yahoo. Did you ever think to provide gyms for the many children who have nowhere to go to burn off some of their energy? Do you know that child abuse is on the rise with so many stay at home kids?

You could provide the best computers to those who cannot afford them. You can give musical instruments, lessons. and art supplies to children who show a talent for that kind of gift.

I think it’s time for us as a society to turn away from our self-involvement, from our narcissistic attitudes towards our body and how wonderful we look. We need to turn towards each other and offer a helping hand.

I know that the stars and those other rich folks have worked hard to earn their money. I praise them for their hard work. They have motivated so many with their success stories and what they have accomplished. God has given you a gift. You have the resources available to help so many. I do not care that your name is on some charity somewhere, people do that all the time. But do you know what really happens with the money you give in the name of that charity.  How many of these charities actually help who they say they will help?

Instead of spending hours in a gym somewhere, you could spend hours in your communities, your old hometowns to see what is needed now.

I am sick and tired of looking at it Yahoo and seeing the nudity that is there. That is not all that important in this world, is it?  That is not what is important in the whole scheme of things.  

I want to see you helping children who cannot help themselves. Helping families that are struggling. If each one of you helped a different community, a different town, perhaps the one you grew up in, you would be reaching thousands of people.

She felt so lovely!

Please, I want to ask each and every one of you, can you show something besides your body. Something that young girls and boys can really hope to attain. Washboard abs are not important. Helping a starving family not starve is important.

Let young girls know that they do not need breast the size of watermelons, but instead hearts that size so we can love each other.  They do not need plastic surgery to remove their smile lines, they need to smile and laugh more with their family and friends.

Let them know that it is wonderful to give to others if you have been so blessed. Let us not change our faces, but instead change our attitudes as we are human beings, and we need to love and give to each other.

So, if this message reaches anybody, please pass this on, share this blog cast with others, so that they can help these stars feel confident in themselves. Let them know they do not have to show us their nakedness, we love them anyway. But if they cannot be outperforming and getting all the adoration they need; they can certainly earn it going out in their communities and sharing with the young.

We will still love them, we will still applaud them, please, please help the children, help those that are in need that do not have any food or heat or even a place to live.

Forget how you look, wash your face, put on your dungarees, and come out into the real world. And as I always say on my blog have a great day today you and I deserve it

What would your epithet read, ” here lies a great butt?”

Think About That!

What a beautiful place.

Do you ever think about your telephone and how it works? No, I mean how it really works? How does our voice travel through this device, to another persons device, so that we can communicate? Now don’t give me the electronics of it, the bits and pieces that go into making the phone like, chips, clips and wires. I mean how the hell do the waves travel clear across the world or even just across the street so that we may talk, view information, text, and listen to music.

We as humans have created amazing things. Wonderful things. Sadly, we have lost our wonder at such creations. I work nights and sometimes we get onto these weird topics, I mean really strange as the dark settles in, and our brains expand into the unknown. At least that is how it feels sometimes when we get sleepy and start talking

Do these waves fly through our tiny little cells as they are moving at the speed of light, or whatever speed they are going, do we even know how fast they are going, or do they zoom around us on the trail to your/my device.

There are millions of radio and television stations around the world sending out data at the speed of light or faster into the homes of people thousands of miles apart. How is that even possible? Really! We can’t see the waves, I don’t feel them going through my body, but we know they are there soaring around undeterred.

I was curious about MRIs and how they worked. I got ran over by a speeding pit bull, that’s another story, and I had to have a MRI of my knee. I went into the room and this machine took pictures of the ligaments, muscle and bones in my leg. How was that even possible?

Energy radiates off of everything

Let me tell you how the MRI works. I am a dos for dummy kind of person so I will give you my version. The MRI machine sends out a huge magnetic wave that sets our protons, our protons, the protons in our body spinning like mad, and then it sends out a radio wave that shuts these buggers down, and when they come to a screeching halt they give off a burst of ENERGY. And then the MRI machine takes pictures of that energy which shows the ligaments, muscles and bones. Read this again because it is truly amazing. It takes pictures of the energy given off by these protons when they come to an abrupt halt. And that energy is caught on film.

Doesn’t that boggle your mind? Doesn’t it astound you? It sure does me. I mean it makes our protons, that we can’t even see spin, spin, and then when they slam to a halt they take a picture of the energy they give off. Dam, I mean who thought of this, and how did they think of this. We are talking about going really deep into the microscopic world, energy waves, and the unknown.

There is so much in our world that begs the question, how the hell does this work, and we don’t even get excited. We just continue talking, texting, shopping, and whatever else it is we do.

We really can’t explain the reality of it. We can talk about the bits and pieces that go into making it possible, but we can’t explain how it really is possible. At least not to my satisfaction.

I say we need to get back to the wonder of what we have created. We need to be amazed at what is around us. Let’s open our eyes to the world, and ask the question how does this even work.

Life amazes me, nature and all its creatures makes me catch my breath, it is so amazing. I say we need to tap into that amazement and appreciate what we have in our lives at this moment in time. Share this wonder with your children and family. Talk about these things so they will begin to wonder too. Foster in the young a curiosity about the world around them. They are the next generation of scientists who will expand on all of our creations thus far.

Instead of sitting in front of the television get them out in the world to look and analyze whats before them. Show them how remarkable this planet earth really is. They will be the saviors of our future. We need to open their eyes to the wonder around them. And as I always say, have a great day today. You and I deserve it.

Wow!

The Happiness Factor

Ah dang it, me too.

Well today I am feeling a little down. It happens. Sometimes I go for a couple of weeks and then my mood shifts once again. I have these little pity parties. I bet you do the same thing. The holidays are a hard time for some folks, and for some it is just the day to day stuff that brings us down.

I am feeling down right now because I really just want to retire. Yep, I am sick of the grind, not that I have to work really hard, but it is the monotony of the the day. It is going and doing the same old thing. It is not getting to do the things I really want to do. It is the years whizzing by. I am almost seventy and I know that my time is limited. You would think by this point I would be free to do what I want. Nope. Bad planning on my part. Didn’t save enough money, so I need to keep working.

Take it from me you youngsters and prepare for the time when you want to retire. Save and plan. I did not and now I am stuck working when I wish I was free.

I wrote a book, you can see it on my Market Ste page. I thought that it was going to be my ride out the retirement door. No such luck. I have tried a slew of ways to get my book out to the world, but the world isn’t listening.

I am working on another book because it too is pushing it’s way out of inside of me. I hope to have it out there by spring. This may be another chance at freedom.

Life gives us many little gifts to bring us joy!

So, while I am feeling down in the dumps I also realize that I should not let anything take my happiness away. I saw this mantra on Facebook and it hit home with me.

When we get upset, down in the dumps, or angry with someone we are giving away our happiness. Now I know that sounds like a boat load of crap, but it is true. We can control how we are feeling by first recognizing the feeling then saying to ourselves ” I will not let this/them/you take my happiness away.

I know this is simple, but it really is that simple. When you find yourself pissed off say out loud to yourself, ” I am not letting you take my happiness away” say it several times and really mean it. Our days are too precious to give away. Do not let others control how you feel. Spend the day feeling happiness for that day. We are so lucky to have it.

I am not trying to take away your right to get mad about crap. People and things piss us off. It is part of life. It is real. But we can change the effect it has on us by not letting others make us feel bad. By taking back our happiness we free ourselves to feel better.

When we stay mad we are choosing that feeling. Taking back our happiness is a choice as well. We can feel better if we use this mantra. I have used it many times and it works. I have used it since starting this piece and I am already feeling a little better.

Hey I love you, now open this door.

Don’t give away your happiness. Tell yourself that you will not let someone or something take it away. Look at what is good around you. Let your happiness flow, and for today have a great day, you and I deserve it.

Peace And Quiet

I am not sure how you feel, but for me, it is time for some peace and quiet. I am so ready for all of this political crap to stop. I just want our leaders to move forward and lead this country. It is time to shut up and do the work.

All I can say is we have made history in so many ways. Some I am not too proud of. This country use to be admired, now we are a laughing stock to other countries. It breaks my heart.

For years now we have not had a good candidate for presidency. Bits and pieces of what, of who. I can not believe that our political parties waited until the last minute to start throwing out names and people to lead our country, OUR country.

I think what needs to happen now is that the parties that want to run next term start grooming someone in their party who has the skills and ideals that would represent this country exceeding well. Start teaching, training, encouraging and supporting some young politician somewhere how to be a great leader. Show them what this country stands for, and help them to succeed. Don’t wait until the last moment and grasp at straws!

I don’t know how the news industry will survive, but I would like to see someone, somewhere start a network that will only tell the real truth, not their truth, not the truth that they want to fool us into believing, but the real truth about what is happening in the world. I grew up believing that is how it was done. How foolish of me.

If I could thank president Trump for one thing, it is for opening my eyes to all the lies and half truths that the media has pushed my way. He has shown me how they distort the news with partial stories, fake pictures, and outright lies about life in general. How they exclude the truth when it does not fit their agenda. How they can pick and choose only what they want to show us, or completely shut down someone in the middle of their speech. A president no less. It is all about the all mighty dollar, and the power that comes with it when they have lots, not necessarily what is really going on in this country and it’s leaders.

Another thing that president Trump accomplished is to bring people into the world of politics that maybe weren’t there before. He has opened our eyes to the fact that WE NEED be involved in what is occurring, and challenge what is being shoved down our throats. And he has taught us to expect more from our leaders. Thank you president Trump.

I hope Joe Biden is sincere when he says ” it is time for this country to heal.” we so need that to happen. Let the men and women ELECTED by the people, FOR the people come together on our behalf, not theirs, to return this country and it’s people to a place where pride can shine through, and we can move toward a country that takes care of all it’s people. All the people. All the races. All the colors. All the levels of income. ALL OF THE PEOPLE so help us God. Let’s be ” One Nation Under God, Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for ALL.” Have a great day today, you and I deserve it!!

Their music is so beautiful. This music brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Hauser!! Look at his other great videos on You Tube.
