Tragedy Hits us when we least expect it
finaldeceptioncover.jpg
Evil does win sometimes and this story proves it

This is a true story that took place in Zimbabwe. 

The author tells of the last year in the life of one

of the few loyal families who stayed on in the

country after independence.

Joy and her husband Bill loved Zimbabwe too

much to give up their beautiful home and family

businesses and leave, as many others did. 

They fall victim to a scam to drain them of their

money, possessions and businesses. They suffer

humiliation and cruel treatment from their captors . 

This was a painful story to tell, but one that needed

telling.

A bitter reminder that none of us are infallible. 

What waits around the next corner, may be

something we least expect.

I dedicate this story to the memory of my dear

mother, who deserved so much more. 

I pray that she now lives in peace in the glory

of Gods love.

A must for every Parent. (Even the good ones)

INTRODUCTION.

 

Life begins at forty. So the saying goes.

 

Well I have news for you. Life begins when that

little fetus quickens inside the womb.

Forty years  and 7 months approximately before that.

 

This book is designed to help all parents become a

lot wiser about the way they prepare for their child

and how to care for that precious bundle after it is born.

I will offer you a guideline to work by which will

make your life a whole lot easier if you follow it.

I can make these claims as a mother of five and

a grandmother of eleven and great-grandmother of two.

My life has involved the care and rearing of

hundreds of Foster children also.

 

As a Foster Mum I have experienced so much

heartache and pain, as well as so much joy.

The rewards of caring for children, who are

in pain, are enormous.

These children did no ask to be in care.

They did not ask to be brought up in a household

of fighting,or drugs and alcohol abuse.

They did not ask for a life of pain and torture

or sexual abuse.

These children deserved a happy childhood filled

with love and guidance that would make them

healthy happy and emotionally stable human beings.

 

They deserved the chance, from a very young age

to start learning the right way to behave, the right

way to conduct themselves for the best chances in life.

 

So many that I have cared for were children in the

five to ten year age bracket who couldnt even hold

a knife or fork and didnt know how to sit at a table.

 

Imagine a child who messes his pants each time

you mention he has to visit his mother.

 

You will read a number of stories throughout this book.

Some from people who have worked in Child Care

and some who have personal experiences they

want to share.

 

I have spent hours thinking about this book and what

I can say to help so many out there. I have a

burning desire to save the parents and the

children from the pain that a lack of knowledge

causes.

 

My heart is fully in this subject so expect

to hear it all.

Everything I can tell you and everything I hope you

will benefit from.

 

I will start at the beginning of a childs conception

and go through all the stages of growing up.

 

I hope you will find help from my words and that they

bring you a deeper understanding of yourselves and

your children.

For the lovers of verse.

 

Optimism

Not all pain is bad,
like birth pain when having my children;
that pain was good.
Not all tears are sad,
like the joy I felt when I first touched their tiny hands
and kissed their soft-scented cheeks.
Not all anger is negative,
like letting vent at a political argument,
fighting for the rights of your family,
getting a valid point into the heads of
one thoughtless idiot with no consideration for human rights.
No not all anger is bad.
For every tear, there is joy, a happy, sunny place following the rain.
Look up at the rainbow and smile.
The bright colours are reminders of the magnificent gift of life
and remember those precious moments
when you too held your newborn child for the very first time.
Smile and let the feeling of joy
surround you and swallow you up,
for it is you who will teach this tender soul
the power of loving and living
in a positive, creative world,
you, my friend, who will have the chance to say,
not all pain is bad.

It's a frogs life

Is it just me who wonders why?
We get born so that we can die.
If you are a girl, or you are a bloke,
it doesn't matter we're all gonna croak
pessimistic you say? no not me.
I opened MY eyes and I'm willing to see.
Life is for living because it's short
Do what you want. Just don't get caught.
Now if you believe in purity and good.
Go for it. You really should.
Remember life's like a balancing beam
It's hard to stay focused
to follow your dream.
All we can do is hope for a break
and if it falls through
forget the mistake.
Life's not as easy as falling off a log
If you croak before failure,
you're probably a frog

I've Done It Again

To the salvation of my past self

I promised myself I would fast for a week.
One day at a time isn't long.
Plenty of water, salad, or fruit;
all I must do is be strong.
I'm losing weight and eating must stop.
I can't go on bulging like this.
No one will look at a fat frump like me,
and I really want someone to kiss.
I must work hard at eating less by
keeping those taste buds in check.
Look at that cake
and just smell that fried steak.
I'll just have a really small peck.
A little bit more?
Can't hurt for sure.
My hunger is causing such pain.
A little bite is surely alright.
Sorry, hips, I've done it again.

Not a Moment Too Soon

Twilight said goodbye as I turned to go.
Not a moment too soon, the sun lost its glow.
I shuddered, as the cold tickled my frame.
At last, I was sure this wasn't a game.
I was alone, no more abuse.
No cussing and fighting. I'd broken the noose.
My life was about to start over again.
Fun, joy, laughter, free of the pain.
By the time it sunk in, the moon was up.
I put on the kettle, filled my tea cup.
A new day dawning, time for me to fly,
On freedom's wings to a promising sky.
Full of new hope, I stared at the moon.
Thank you, I whispered. Not a moment too soon.

The Nit Picker

 

A garden full of tender care

Brings joy beyond and above

Not unlike a child

When given unconditional love

For like a garden thats picked and picked

A child will not grow

For so much picking just destroys the roots

And no more blossoms will show.

From the depth of the earth the weeds appear

Their ugly forms take over

The child thats hurt shows anger abound

And the offender should run for cover

So slow down now and think about

The damage that you have done

As a parent of such a wonderful child

Whos life has just begun

Dont turn her into a garden of weeds

Its time, from where we are sitting

To turn it around with love abound

And stop that cruel nit picking.

Booze Train Again

He gets on the booze train on Fridays
He works hard for the rest of the week
He comes home drunk and offensive
nothing about him is meek
he shouts off his mouth without thinking
who can think with a brain full of beer
Trying to reason and calm him
falls of a drunken deaf ear
He ruins his chance of a future
with the woman who bore his two girls
one a new born baby
the other with long hair and curls
His daughter says Daddy should go away
He makes Mummy cry and her scared
She says if he loved them he'd listen
He would stop drinking if he really cared
The drinking is making him crazy
the drinking will send him insane
His daughter says Mummy it's Friday
Is Daddy on the booze train again

A positive Successful way to lose weight and stay healthy in mind body and spirit

Here is a sample of what to expect from

Your Mind Your health Your Way 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

 

Isnt life a drag when you carry too much weight around with you and feel unhealthy all the time?

 

I have spent so long trying to keep the weight off that it has become second nature for me. Before putting anything into my mouth I study containers and read ingredients etc looking for the hidden dangers or benefits the product holds.

 

I learned long ago that the word diet started with the word Die that meant to end everything. Its a scary word. So diet left my vocabulary for good.

 

I no longer use that horrid word. EVER. Think about it.

 

Our brain is so powerful that by feeling it is going to die from starvation, it wants nothing more than to start cramming food in as storage.

 

We have created a battleground before we have even begun. Consciously we are going to starve ourselves and subconsciously we are going to start storing food for energy. NO WAY it just cannot work. We have created the first inner conflict of anyone wanting to improve their health and their appearance.

 

So forget dieting and start focusing on good health, weight loss and better nutrition. You will look great in no time and be very healthy as well.

 

So how do we lose weight get healthy and stay looking great if we dont diet?

 

We use our mind and our subconscious to do it for us. We let our inner self take over and do the work for us. That doesnt mean we dont correct our eating and way of life. It simply means we learn how to control that inner self that always seams to let us down when we most need it.

 

How do we do that?

 

Your mind is made up of the thoughts you think. These thoughts are like a suction pump. If you think positively about something, it turns out to be as you thought. If you think negative thoughts, your suction pump sucks in that negativity 


 

 

 

I will explain it to you in the following chapters and give you the ways I have proved to work better than any fancy eating plans, potions and pills.

 

Visualizing, concentrating with, desire and faith, and repeating these thoughts often unleashes powerful energy, which is the key to your control over your health problems.

 

This is not easy to do and takes time to learn. It is not something that happens overnight. You will have to work at it bit by bit until one day before you realise the change, it has happened.

 

When you become conscious of your thoughts, choose the ones that are beneficial for you, and consciously utilize that power.

 

I will show you how you too can be as fit as you can be, by doing things naturally.

 

I will give you all the guidelines and facts to work with and you will benefit from knowing the right way to become healthy, at last.

 

You will come to realize that your body is a machine. It needs to be maintained and cleaned regularly and kept running just as you would your car using only the best quality products available and cleaning it regularly and thoroughly.

 

Everything I am going to show you has been tried, tested and worked for me

and many other people who have lived long healthy lives.

 

I spent many years in front of T.V. cameras so believe me when I say I know the pain of trying to lose weight and keeping it off. Every bit of weight over looked like ten pounds and I couldnt afford to gain even an ounce.

 

I constantly had to watch everything I put in my mouth and that became second nature to me after a while.

 

Let me tell you, I know how destructive the wrong approach can be. I know what panic attacks can do to you when you dont know what they are or how to control them. Panic and the effects of food allergies played havoc with my life for many years, until I learned what was happening to me and why.

 

 

 

 

When the weight first crept on I was around 35 years old. I was shocked. I looked in the mirror and couldnt believe what had happened. It felt like only a couple of days before that I had done a legs commercial for Television.

 

 Even with my fifth child I didnt get into preggy gear until the last month. So how could I have gained so much so quickly? I hated my reflection in the mirror and yelled to myself. I said "I cannot stand this weight, Its coming off now RIGHT NOW"

Then I walked out of the room and had my first panic attack at the thought of losing the jobs I loved as a model, actress and TV presenter.

 

It was so frightening. I lay curled up in pain burping and breaking wind at an embarrassing rate. I was scared I was going to end up a fat frump and I conditioned my mind right there and then that I was not going to be anything of the sort. Somehow my mind got the message because I just started to lose the weight without really doing anything.

 

Yes, The weight started to come off again.

 

 I didnt do it by becoming anorexic or bulimic. I did it by understanding my body and knowing what I could do to become really healthy. I did it by eating correctly and enjoying my food. I did it because it was what I really wanted to do. I had made up my mind about it in a positive way.

 

I found out that if I ate the wrong foods which I did now and again I often ended up with a panic attack which really frightened me until I learned what to do to stop them. I began realizing that if I ate certain foods, I began to get dizzy, then scared of the dizzy sensation, which caused the panic.

 

I started to learn more about my body and what it needed as against what my taste buds were trying to fool me into liking.

 

This has been my lesson and because it is a subject so dear to my heart, I want to share it with you in the hope that you will benefit from my experiences.

 

I have gone on to become a Counselor for Panic Disorder and helped a number of people back to good health.  This book is my next step in reaching people I cannot meet face to face.

 

 

 

 

You may be wondering why I would consider Panic disorder along with a healthy body as working together in one book. Well its because the two do go hand in glove. So much of the subject overflows.

 

Any form of panic or conflict or distress or life problem can manifest itself in panic and emotional conflict.

 

There are literally hundreds of people both men and women who suffer from panic which stemmed from an overweight problem. You may just be one of them, in need of advice. You may have avoided going for help in the fear that you would be told you were going crazy or needed medication.

 

Well its time to forget about all the negative emotions and take your first real positive step to success not only in your health but in your life.

 

My advice to you is try my methods first then see how you feel.

 

I know you will be very surprised at how easy it really is.

 

I am not a medical practitioner, nor am I able to offer advice on any conditions that need a GP. Please always check with your Doctor before starting any program whatsoever. My methods are from the personal experience of many people who have proved how well this system works and are offered as a guide for you if you choose to try it.

 

 

May you learn a lot and gain what you need from these pages.

 

Heres to a healthier, happier you.
