My beautiful pooch pooch was ALMOST a <i>shelter dog</i>, thankfully Chicago's Finest will go to any lengths to save a life ... even four-legged lives. My angel was bait in a pit-bull fight. Someone phoned 911 and CPD (Chicago's Police Department) went in, rescued her and placed her in a cell. My co-workers rallied me over to see her and she jumped rich into my arms!<br />

<br />

<br />
Today I was reading <a href="http://valentilaw.wordpress.com/">Tom Valenti over at "Just Appease Me"</a> and was very impressed to see he, as counsel and an officer of the court like me, had <b>Conflict Resolution<i><a href="http://helpguide.org/mental/eq8_conflict_resolution.htm"></a></i></b> covered!!<br />
<br />
I sat for hours watching the other linked videos that handled the subject and was happy that people are recognizing alternatives to violence.<br />
<br />
I also noticed how Black culture, and the hip/hop culture, has tremendously influenced today's youth ... I suppose that is a whole <i>'nutha</i> topic we must explore ... MANY of these messages were raps!<br />
<br />
As a result of recent altercations and events around the globe, I began to ponder ...<br />
<br />
In the U.S., is today's aggression result of:<br />
<br />
* the Black communities continued struggles<br />
<br />
* today's youth emulating what they appreciate about Black culture i.e. gestures, language, clothing<br />
<br />
* trying to be tough, cool, relevant<br />
<br />
* classism<br />
<br />
* juvenile behavior<br />
<br />
* influx of cartel cultures in urban communities<br />
<br />
* economic disparities <br />
<br />
* failure to properly educate students in preschool and middle-school <i>before</i> issues arise<br />
<br />
* failure to hold parents accountable<br />
<br />
* inability to reach populations that are most at risk because many of them are not even in the school system<br />
<br />
* failure to teach accountability for actions<br />
<br />
* glorifying violence<br />
<br />
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????<br />
<br />
I don't know ... these are simply thoughts off the top of my head ... whatever the case, my recommendation is that we all put our heads together AND FIGURE THIS OUT!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
I fell in love the second I suspected I had a pea in the pod.<br />
<br />
I did not particularly care what the sex would be, what color, fat or how tall ...<br />
<br />
My main concern, and it still is - is for health, character and ability to love.<br />
<br />
So, from the second I was aware, I began to change my 'tude, the things I ingested and was adamant about safety, seat-belts, and industrial responsibilities to our eco-sphere.<br />
<br />
Yup, one zygote started ALL that!!!<br />
<br />
Well, the cards were on our side and 15 years ago, I managed to bring someone into this world who is pretty darn healthy - and let me tell ya ... there were NO organic food markets back then. I simply went to markets that I knew went straight to local farms. My other blessing was that my little tyke's pediatrician was from Italy and never prescribed any antibiotics for my brood. She was authentically nature-based before it became trendy and I am forever grateful for this stroke of good fortune.<br />
<br />
She taught me how to mash basic dinners and to use as little processed baby food as possible.<br />
<br />
THAT was a chore in the beginning, but it soon became part of our routine and lil Bub went directly from breast milk to mashed organic as possible diet that included little to no processed baby food.<br />
<br />
This was such a HUGE help when it came time to feed a 3 year old broccoli. It was LOVE instead of repulsion.<br />
<br />
SO, my ten tips to get kids to eating veggies??<br />
<br />
1) START EARLY<br />
eat them so your breast milk has the flavor. once they are old enough, feed it to them. don't ask, just do it.<br />
<br />
2) EAT THEM ALL THE TIME<br />
who says asparagus isn't a breakfast food???<br />
<br />
3) LEARN TO SEASON<br />
once taste-buds become defined, palates are seeking flavor. don't be afraid to spice.<br />
<br />
4) PUT VEGGIES IN EVERYTHING<br />
smoothies, bread, rice, pancakes, crepes<br />
<br />
5) LATE BLOOMING?<br />
add veggies to meatloaf, baked potatoes, mask in foods that the kids already enjoy<br />
<br />
6) DISCUSS<br />
have frank discussions (or eat hotdogs Chicago-style - which is a SALAD on a hotdog) about health, energy, best practices to living right<br />
<br />
7) BE A ROLE MODEL<br />
healthy eating is as healthy eating does<br />
<br />
8) INCLUDE ALL MEMBERS, yes the dog<br />
when choosing the best diets, include everyone, even the family pets<br />
<br />
9) EXPERIMENT<br />
new recipes are fun<br />
<br />
10) VLOG<br />
do a video about it and post it. when your family sees how much fun can be had, they will jump on the bandwagon!<br />
<br />

My divorce was not until the boys were about 5 and 7, but I was quickly learning that being proficient at timing and utilizing skills to make short-cuts without letting anything at all suffer was key to our survival.

<br />
Kellogg’s FiberPlus Cereals are YUM! That is important when you are trying to stay fit and still have FUN!<br />
<br />
Healthy, after-all, is also a state of mind. It’s action and reaction. It’s eating right AND exercise.<br />
<br />
Taking charge of your life and physical presence can be fun and delicious with the variety of tastiness Kellogg’s has presented us with!<br />
<br />
Rich in flavor, these cereals are full of more good stuff than I expected: whole grain wheat, sugar, rice, chickory root and being certified <i>Kosher Dairy</i> in the Berry Yogurt Crunch made me smile! (The Cinnamon Crunch is <a href="http://kosherfood.about.com/od/glossaryofkosherterms/g/parve.htm">Kosher/Parve</a> too!)<br />
<br />
My teen son and I begin our days just before sunrise. We have full schedules and often breakfast is a glass of pomegranate juice. I have begun to tire from all my attempts to find healthy that tastes good.<br />
<br />
Having choices like <a href="http://www2.kelloggs.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id=21712">Kellogg’s Cinnamon Oat Crunch</a> and <a href="http://www2.kelloggs.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id=21712">Kellogg’s Berry Yogurt Crunch</a> really helps the battle.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1w7WEVUX0KbaxUQ6OQgL_cfyMqGs2MX42LyEB6Zw3jbhgaYI8SYmlZcn9CGnRWYtabJDXGCiuq42tON6zHUy74iwTClTdCdmmBKqKdJkb49Q3mrGxCXsjTKa0EOu4HQ6yBolk3KUMzC0/s1600/June2011+033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1w7WEVUX0KbaxUQ6OQgL_cfyMqGs2MX42LyEB6Zw3jbhgaYI8SYmlZcn9CGnRWYtabJDXGCiuq42tON6zHUy74iwTClTdCdmmBKqKdJkb49Q3mrGxCXsjTKa0EOu4HQ6yBolk3KUMzC0/s320/June2011+033.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
These two cereals are excellent ideas when getting to the start of a wild and crazy day!<br />
<br />
The tiny round O’s of oat crunch are so cinnemony! They actually make the perfect treat in a bowl with Almond or Coconut milk ~ or on the go in a baggy!<br />
<br />
The flakes and yogurt pearls in the Berry Yogurt Crunch are surprisingly sweet while providing the need I have for a lot going on in my palate. I seem to enjoy different amazing textures while eating, and this provides a zest in my mouth that wakes me up and gets me going.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR_nBOGz2VLeiuFJtdeIdQ5XQxOT91z5kvle-En5QvXlngeJxLEMON1nqLq6-zSQNzFNFA0sLVEbqXOubt1MYIjCa8-gkv4evaMbIYOjxbdBHEjal7NXbxHVo7aBoiQqXB3B1dl0FsvHQ/s1600/June2011+039.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR_nBOGz2VLeiuFJtdeIdQ5XQxOT91z5kvle-En5QvXlngeJxLEMON1nqLq6-zSQNzFNFA0sLVEbqXOubt1MYIjCa8-gkv4evaMbIYOjxbdBHEjal7NXbxHVo7aBoiQqXB3B1dl0FsvHQ/s320/June2011+039.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I try to do at least twenty minutes of yoga in the morning before eating. I stretch until the kinks are out. This, I find, helps me to handle the day’s stressors. Knowing that I had a choice of these cereals waiting for me encourages me to be thorough and quick so that I can treat myself!<br />
<br />
Only one gram of fat, with 1.5 in the Cinnamon Crunch, is a huge plus as well. There is more sodium than I’d like, and 12g of sugar (7 in the Crunch) but eating this in a small proportion at the start of your day - after a good, solid workout makes this a replenishing meal that I say thumbs up to.<br />
<br />
My son and my father also found themselves smitten.<br />

The 6 hour football workouts my teen is enduring this summer call for such fortified, fiber filled yumms. My 80 year old father picks him up and takes him everyday and he swears these two new boxes in the house made him feel perky while satisfying his belly. He snacks voraciously for a Granpa.<br />
<br />
If you run and out and try these, let us know what you think!<br />

So my Cadillac excursions were phenomenal! Really enjoyed pretending I was a high roller driving my Escalade down RUSH STREET CHICAGO on a Saturday night!<br />
<br />
The 2011 Escalade with ONSTAR and the stitching and leather and entertainment and ..........<br />
<br />
Can't say enough about it which I now know why it is the car choice for so many celebrities!<br />
<br />
Now the <a href="http://www.cadillac.com/ctsVSedan/2011/features-specs/">CTS</a> is a sedan. Four door with an engine that HUMS! I SO felt like Don Johnson from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Vice">Miami Vice</a> driving that remade Chevy Corvette! (It was made to look like a Ferrari).<br />
<br />
The horsepower is 556 @ 6100 Torque 551 @ 3800. This is a WHOLE lotta car.<br />
<br />
Sleek, sexy, clean and sharp. Driving this was an experience. Bose surround ... oh wow!<br />
