Merry Christmas to you all!!!  I unfortunately received some very sad news last evening.  The well known, sweetest and very dear friend of mine Kenny Kassel has passed. I am stunned and heartbroken!  Totally speachless.    When I signed up with the NPC Kenny was the first person to take me under his wing and show me the ropes!
My first show was the Iron Man 2006.  There I had the honor of meeting and befriending Wayne Gallasch.  A true Man!  With the biggest heart!
Wayne always has time to help or give me advice even with his busy schedule!  Being that he is based in Austraila he suggested that I contact Kenny Kassel.  His very dear and old friend from the beginning.  Well at first you can imagine I was a bit intimidated to contact Kenny being he had so much experience in the business and was always quite busy.  Ken laid my fears to rest the moment we spoke.  He brought me in his world with open arms and no judgments.  Always told me how it was and had the biggest heart in doing so.  No matter what Kenny always had time for me.  Even if for just one moment.  I will forever miss him.  I wish this was one big nightmare that I could wake from!  
For me it will never be the same to not see his face, give him a hug, him give me advice, especially at the shows!
With just recently the passing of Steve Stone, now Kenny, this I just can’t believe … it just does not seem fair.
I have to believe that G-D has a plan… there must be.  And that Kenny is now at peace.  I pray for him and pray that the Angels are taking care of him.
G-D bless to you all, Happy Holidays,  and please stay healthy!

"NO CLIENT EVER HAD ENOUGH TO BRIBE MY CONSCIENCE OR TO STOP ITS UTTERANCE AGAINST WRONG AND OPPRESSION."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
I am very much loving these new founded quotes I have stumbled upon .. the meaning - as I do carefully choose the ones I think of pertinence and most beneficial - are quite profound …and successfully written - in a way to make the point without being evasive.  And of course I do not submit any quotes that I do not believe in myself.
QUOTE #112
"THERE IS NO TEACHING UNTIL THE PUPIL IS BROUGHT INTO THE SAME STATE OR PRINCIPLE IN WHICH YOU ARE; A TRANSFUSION TAKES PLACE; HE IS YOU, AND YOU ARE HE".
Ralph Waldo Emerson ( 1803- 1882) "Spiritual Laws"  1st series
As I do agree very much with this .. I am just thinking some might misconstrue  the meaning - so I will try to help maybe make more clear .. well at the very least from the way I see this - is that the pupil may not neccessarily agree or needs to have the same beliefs as the teacher though must put himself in the teachers shoes.

Sending you all Rudolph Reindeer smiles today .. happy holidays .. d
G-D bless!!

"THE SACRED CALL IS TRANSFORMATIVE.  IT IS AN INVITATION TO OUR SOULS, A MYSTERIOUS VOICE REVERBERATING WITHIN, A TUG ON OUR HEARTS THAT CAN NEITHER BE IGNORED NOR DENIED.  IT CONTAINS, BY DEFINITION, THE PUREST MESSAGE AND PROMISE OF ESSENTIAL FREEDOM.  IT TOUCHES US AT THE CENTER OF OUR AWARENESS  WHEN SUCH A CALL OCCURS AND WE HEAR IT–REALLY HEAR IT–OUR SHIFT TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS IS ASSURED.  AS MAIMONIDES, THE TWELFTH-CENTURY RABBINICAL AUTHORITY, PHYSICIAN, AND PHILOSOPHER SAID,
"THE SOUND OF THE SHOFAR CALLS TO US: AWAKENS, SLEEPER, FROM YOUR SLEEP, ARISE, SLUMBERERS, FROM YOUR SLUMBER, AND EXAMINE YOUR DEEDS, … LOOK AFTER YOUR OWN SOULS, AND IMPROVE YOUR WAYS."
"David A. Cooper.  Closing paragraphs to "Invitation to the Soul," Parabloa spring 1994.

Gosh I know this might me one of a mind twister .. though when you get it … when I got it .. I feel as if I am stumbling upon the most amazing quotes in which are validating and most definitely making more sense of that long message I wrote in the AM two days ago.

I will be getting back to you my friends… I have not forgotten…. now if tonight .. lets see being its 1230 am .. I can get to bed at one .. I might be setting a record for this week.. hehe .. and will have more brain capacity to function properly…lol…though unfortunately so very true!!!
G-D bless with many holiday smiles to all of you who celebrate Hanukkah this special eve.  deb

well I have re-read my loooonnnnggg blog he he … and thought well I am going to leave it … for it crosses over many things that I wanted and will speak about and hopefully you understood my point.  And as far as the grammer I do have the exusce it was 3am by the time I finished ….
Most important - I wanted to say is that once again I let time go by without being here .. responding to you…I did not want to have to be like the little boy that cried wolf and tell you sorry again…. there is no excuse - just like I tell my clients there is no excuse to not work out,,, I always can find time to respond to you all.   so no more nonsense - I have so much I want to share with you all.  All so very exciting!  And in my hopes that it will make an impact on someone or maybe many to help change their lives for the better or at least just get you thinking.

"SOME PEOPLE HAVE NOT THE TIME (FOR WHAT LORD SHAFTESBURY HAS CALLED SELF-CONVERSATION), AND FEWER HAVE INCLINATION TO ENTER INTO THAT CONVERSATION; NAY, VERY MANY DREAD IT AND FLY TO THE MOST TRIFLING DISSIPATIONS IN ORDER TO AVOID IT; BUT, IF A MAN WOULD ALLOT HALF AN HOUR EVERY NIGHT FOR THIS SELF-CONVERSATION AND RECAPITULATE WITH HIMSELF WHATEVER HE HAS DONE,, RIGHT OR WRONG, IN THE COURSE OF THE DAY, HE WOULD BE BOTH THE BETTER AND THE WISER FOR IT."
Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)  Letter to his son 1763.
Wow couldn’t have said it better myself!
many smiles to you all may your holiday angels be watching over you all to keep you safe and grant you solace.  G-D bless deb:)

goodness gracious great balls of fire….he he
I must fill you all in with a brief senerio of deb bell’s life -  there is NEVER  and I truly mean never!  - a dull moment - or a day that will pass that something of the unordinary happens!  Let me explain.   Most people go day to day - go through thier regular routine go home - eat sleep workout etc.. and then start it all over the next day.  Occasionally maybe 1 or 2 days of the month something shall happen in which makes a great conversation piece - for it is something "out of the ordinary!"  — hope ya’ll r following so far… … Not me… MY life - every, EVERY day something wierd, annoying, troublesome, exciting, crazy, catostrophic, etc…. happens.  I say this to you not only coming from my thoughts and words however from hearing throughout the years my clients, friends and acquaintances who know me ..and see with their own eyes say "debbie —- why is there always something happing to you?  Why and why do these daily occurances happen…them believing I bring it upon myself…(I assume that is what they think ) —
now with that being said before more than many people told me this I lived my life just expecting cr—p to happen.  Just thought that was my destiny.  I was the chosen one for chaos…lol- and no I do not believe I brought badness upon myself cause I am a good person - and at least to the best of my ability treat others with the care and respect as I would want myself.    So in my younger years -a while ago :) I was angry with the world and blamed everyone for the issues that caused drama in my life.  Because it for certain was not me!!!  Right? !!  How could  it be … just cause I am an extreme outgoing person - say what is on my mind - more so in the past - younger and more naive - I was quite blunt, spoke out loud my thoughts regardless of how it would effect someone…. cause in reality I know now that I did not think back then how delicate words are.  the slightest word said in the wrong text ..the tone of voice and body movement while saying something can and is so many times is perceived so differently by others! (and I know you all know what I mean by that )
I was very much more carefree and could not make sense of my desire to do good for others and how my actions appeared to them …not what I intended…. now reading this back myself I know it might not be all that articulate though bare with me it is almost 2 am - having that streak of insomnia again …  I could write a thousand and much more pages on this issue - dont worry I am not he he -  for who I am now and the person I was in the past-  couldn’t make sense of much (note children …young adults are so very influenced by their guardian..peers …. its the never ending epedemic where if one person of a bit of authourity says it to be true than it must be .. and so on…this is the problem people are afraid to branch off to have their own opinion for fear of not being accepted - which I have gone through - there was confusion of what I was told to be good and what I beleived to be right and good…  so naturally being so niave and directed by the more powerful I had no choice but to give in … though there is this fire within me that entually brought me to where I am today…or angels - or G-D - something… things make so much sense now… and I have this serene feeling which never in my wildest dreams I thought I culd feel.   I still maintain all those crazy and in my opinion wonderful qualities of my personality, however the way I react to the continuing issues that happen in my life and the way I react to other people is so very much different in a very good and great in a serene way!
Why am I telling you this … well here is the punchline — the moral if you may –  it is the journey of life…. over the past year many (of course ) incidences have happened to me that I will publish in my novel soon… that many of you would hear and think "am I for real" and would probably think I am making them up… I have nothing to prove or reason to convince anyone or babble on - at this moment - about the situations.   What I do want to share with you all is that through my experiences in my life many not so pleasant some pleasant .. some not brought on by me some were… doesn’t really matter much…. what matters - and I truly truly thank G-D for allowing me to get in touch with my survival tool —is that I have had this inane way of always coming out on top!!  Well maybe not like Donald Trump top - that is another series…-  I have been able to grow from the downest momnents of my life in which I thought there was no future .. no point … I ruined everything .. why bother - you guys get the drift …. it was if at the moment I believed - really believed I could not pull myself out of this one … feeling sorry for myself..being defensive … not letting people help me…. not being friendly to others.  At each of those down moments I went to sleep and when moring arose …1 day 2 days a week …however long it took me … I ALWAYS CAME OUT STRONGER –than from before the last incedent.  
It was not something I tried to focus on … cause I was so wrapped up in feeling sorry for myself I had no urge to be positive .. however ironically enough I was.  I know that sounds like a "catch 22"  …although that is just the way it happened and how I was thankfully built!
I believe fully in my soul and know logically from my studies that our bodies are "survial machines".  ( another series ) If you put the thoughtful brain aside for a moment and think and understand how the body works you would without a doubt agree with me .. not to mention it has been proven in so many different studies….which I will soon give links to…
our brains play a huge HUGE role in this … of course … today people do not realize .. take for granted this gift we have been given … our bodies!!!  and most of all our hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!   I can not stress this more!!  How as humans we have lost ourselves in the world of money greed and technilogical toys…and have neglected the stongest muscle in our body .. the heart - in more ways than just one.!!!
Hey I am not writing here thinking that I am all that … cause I am far from perfect … speaking of … WHAT IS PERFECT ..something that does not exist.  what exists is the journey and how we utilize this amazing wordless …infinite miracle that we have been given….
without going into detail and to end .. gotts to sleep … ( can ya tell I missed you guys ..think this is the longest blog I have written so far…and I still havent gotten to my punch-line ..he he …gosh I promise to sum it up lol ) …I had a conversation with some people  in which they were extremely adamant with their beliefs - that money is the first and most important thing in life to have and the thought of sharing a smile to a stranger would not make them feel happier inside-so who cares and why bother…. pardon me — BULLS—–T … not my place to judge anyone as I do not … just try - hope to give others the realization that I have had… and I am not forming some sort of stupid cult or am anal retentive trying to convince you to believe EXACTLY what I believe… it just was so disheartening to see such bitterness  and defensiveness … meaning I believe they are on guard 24/7  as we all are - hey I am too…I just allow myself to believe in the good … that there is good .. I do not live anymore in the past …of things that happened in my life or reflects on my life because of history - what people did years ago.  We need to let go - not forget - just let go of these wars.  If people would stop being on the defensive of things that happened in the past I believe so much amazing things would happen in this world… I do not see it happening … some I have met do not have that openness to even just think bout what might be on the other side-another persons opinion - as people get pretty much stuck in their ways….. I am so sorry for being vague ..just that out of respect for others I will not disclose the situation… I do hope you guys can make a bit of sense out of this though…. maybe when I read it again tomorrow I could change it if any one has trouble understanding please let me know and I will revise it…. I want so very much to share this serence open feeling I have been blessed to have….  
finale:  my hard drive crashed a month ago for the second time in one year and for no apparent reason .. and of course I did not learn my lesson and back any of my files up … goodness …well a bit back I would have been screaming blaming the world ..G-D  - why me– bla bla bla .. sure I am extremely upset .. .things I will never get back….and knowing it was not my fault probably makes it worse — I am not upset though… mY veins are not popping out of my head and I am not self sabotaging ….I say this to you in the most sincerest way.   So why I said what I have is cause I have once again been lucky to jump to another phase of my life …. and my gosh it feels so awesome … so very awesome .. and in expressing and sharing my story with you … I just hope that if one more person opens their heart and MIND… to other solutions ideas … opinions .. and possibly smile at a stranger that looks miserable … this world could .. will become a less chaotic racist place, and selfishness will eventually - ideally come to a cease!!!!  
so very much did not intend on writing so much … and just wanted to express that yes something else has happened which prevented me from being able to log on to this site- to get back to u guys…
I wanted to express this in detail because I had just previously said almost the same thing….why I was not around.
so now I will not make any promises … just plan on being around more - for you guys - and for me!!!  this site has always put a smile on my face and for that I am so very grateful…
will sign in tomorrow .. for now before I keep going I am signing of sending rudolph the red nose reindeer smiles ..

"SOME PERSONS ARE EXAGGERATORS BY TEMPERAMENT.  THEY DO NOT MEAN UNTRUTH, BUT THEIR FEELINGS ARE STRONG, AND THEIR IMAGINATIONS VIVID, SO THAT THEIR STATEMENTS ARE LARGELY DISCOUNTED BY THOSE OF CALM JUDGMENT AND COOLER TEMPERAMENT. THEY DO NOT REALIZE THAT WE ALWAYS WEAKEN WHAT WE EXAGGERATE."
Tryon Edwards.

I want to wish you all cherry blossom smiles this evening to help you all have sweet dreams… and if it be morning for you then to have a sweet day.

"SCIENCE MAY HAVE FOUND A CURE FOR MOST EVILS; BUT IT HAS FOUND NO REMEDY FOR THE WORST OF THEM ALL — THE APATHY OF HUMAN BEINGS."
Helen Keller.

In hoping that this will go through … I had written a message before which because of my - wonderful talent in utilizing computers- lol -  my baby is sick .. boo boo .. toy poddle … she is 13 .. gosh I love her so!!! More than anything in this world.
I found out that her kidney enzymes are a bit too high .. so I need to take her to the ER/ vet every week so she can recieve fluids that are given to her subcutaneous - gosh .. they say owners do it themselves .. and though I have a physiology degree and worked with cadavers - I will NEVER be fond of inflicting any sort of pain of any living being! And do not very much like the site of blood.  As passionate as I am and love with all my heart in helping people .. I just leave the gory stuff up to the MD;s :)

Well the reason I bring this up is because those of u that  I have not gotten back to I hope u understand that I am a bit preoccupied making sure my baby is ok.   So please do not think that I am not getting back to u for any other reason than the mere fact that my complete attention is dedicated to making sure my baby lives her years with the most fullest and happiest I can make available to her.  I am sure all u pet owners out there can understand why I am so dedicated to her!  
Well its quite late here and I am extremely sleepy .. so I sign off to you all with my warmest smiles .. G-D bless those of you that have a pet …. and may they stay safe and healthy … and may you have the sweetest smiley dreams!
G-D bless
