Don’t Limit God
You are the creation. He is the Creator. You cannot out-think the One who made you. He delights in performing the Impossible. He is the Master of the Turn Around. Never underestimate Him.

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible,” (Mark 10:27).

It seems that life is not important right now to some. There seems to be a lack of concern for the lives and well-being of some coming to America from lack of food, fear and oppression. Why entry for some is met with disdain and cruelty and others with jobs, homes and glad faces?

Grace is the most beautiful word in the Bible other than the name of our Savior. Grace is why God loves us when there is nothing lovely about us. We are not loved because we are valuable. We are valuable because we are loved by Him who created the heavens, the earth, the seas and all the dwells within them. Our lives do matter to HIM who created us. Show how grateful you are by being kind to someone today. You never know?

Discipline or Regret

In life we suffer one of two pains, pain of discipline or pain of regret. The pain of discipline weighs ounces ~ doing what needs to be done, getting up earlier, develop a budget. But, the pain of regret weighs tons ~ heartache, divorce, lost of center/focus, loneliness. As we continue to make choices, which will you choose? The pain of discipline or the pain of regret?

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

ME, MYSELF & I

“We can’t become what we need to be remaining what we are.”

— Oprah Winfrey

When I read this quote, I felt a little jot inside me. I suppose this is what is called an “epiphany”? I pondered, ‘…am I really doing me or what? Am I OK with me? Where should I look for the real me? How should I treat me to be the better me? Can I, to get there? Or, am I too comfortable with this me or this imitation me? I’m beginning with the voice(of my inner-self) that I often ignore. I wonder where I “could” be in one year?…if I listen to what people often say, ‘something told me to….’. I bet she’s quite smart if I listen.

HAND AND WRIST HEALTH

How do your wrists feel? Are they a little tired or sore from all of the work from home work(computer, iphone or stirring)? Our hands perform a variety of tasks every day, from gripping a steering wheel to typing on a keyboard. These repetitive motions can create weakness and stiffness in your wrists, hands and fingers. As a nail technologist, it’s my thumbs!

Practicing simple exercises can help prevent injury. Exercises can strengthen your wrists and keep your hands and fingers flexible. So here are a couple you can try right now:

Always speak with your doctor before attempting new stretches or treatments. It’s important to determine the exact cause of your wrist pain FIRST.

While standing, place your palms together in a praying position.

Have your elbows touch each other. Your hands should be in front of your face. Your arms should be touching each other from the tips of your fingers to your elbows.

With your palms pressed together, slowly spread your elbows apart. Do this while lowering your hands to waist height. Stop when your hands are in front of your belly button or you feel the full stretch.

Hold the stretch for 10 to 30 seconds, then repeat.

Next, extend one arm in front of you at shoulder height.

Keep your palm down, facing the floor. Release your wrist so that your fingers point downward.

With your free hand, gently grasp your fingers and pull them back toward your body.

Hold for 10 to 30 seconds.

How does that feel? Remember take it slow and never cause yourself any pain.

Until next time. GRACE & PEACE

What is Palmer Hyperhidrosis, Continued?

Jun14

Palmer Hyperhidrosis is continued from last week. Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition that causes perspiration far greater than the physiological needs of the body.  Although no one knows why some individuals sweat excessively, it is known that the sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.  Excessive sweating may be episodic or continuous.  Hyperhidrosis of the feet is Plantar Hyperhidrosis and often happen in conjunction with the hands.

Job-Interview-With-Sweaty-Hands-300x189For the 2%-3% of the population who have hyperhidrosis, however, the sweat glands don’t shut off. They sweat even when the circumstances don’t call for it: when they’re in air conditioning, or while they’re sitting and watching television. Some people even tell their doctors that they sweat in a swimming pool.

Well, what does that have to do with gels?  Well, small water droplets started to form around her cuticles. Surprise! gels and water don’t mix.  The process was a two-finger process.  Two fingers were polished, then placed into the LED lamp, set gel(15 sec).  By the time the moisture formed around the cuticles, the gel had set. After the thumb, one minute.  The final result was a great looking basic French, clear base and white tips.  I loved the challenge.
