Amanda DeLIGHT

Im in The Zone,

This card is a reminder of my

freedom and liberation.

Remember,

Amanda you got this,

You get this,

You depend on

NO ONE.

Red Light

I love watchin men use weed whackers. The extra care in maintaing the details with a long humming machine in a swaying motion. It was great entertainment for a few moments at the red light.

No Chocolate Please

Friends are the melody of life....

haters are only static.....

so if you hear static then youre just changing the station....

change is good.

What Say What?

JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THIS...YOU PASS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YRS HARD LABOR, YOU PASS THE AFGHAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET SHOT. YOU PASS THE AMERICAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET A JOB, DRIVER'S LICENSE, ALLOWANCE FOR A PLACE TO LIVE, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT SO YOU CAN READ A DOCUMENT. WE CARRY PASSPORTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES OR FACE JAIL TIME.

Remember

Remember to always leave room

in your art studio

for angels to dance!

Luck Not

Some may think I have good luck,

I think its a combo of using my head,

following my heart

and listening to my gut.

Last Call - Timmy Grins

From a childhood that was tormented, abused and still haunts me, to a 14 year love hate relationship that ended in divorce, I have seen and lived the effects of alcohol.

I would like to introduce you to my friend and confidant, Timmy Grins as he tells his story, Last Call and the creative film work of Fabio Lomelino. Together these two have created a masterpiece that not only made me cry, but moved me on a personal level. Please share this with your friends! ~A.Delight

Thank You Ladessa!

"Thinking: Amanda Delight is my S-hero, as a female artist. She's a single mother, and yet she is always painting & her daughter shares in her creativity. Seeing videos and pictures of them painting & being creative together truly moves me, and shows me that if I ever have kids that's the type of environment I wish to have. One in which I can remain creative, loving & positive as a family."

Dirty Laundry

As I drove down the street today and saw his fake being of a man running. I wondered how many points I would get for crossing four lanes of traffic with the jeep just to tap him hard enough to knock him out of those Nike's while shouting out the window, "you made her cry again asshole" Keep running, it takes about seven years for your lungs to heal from all of that "smoking" but maybe the Lord can help you with that too...

So maybe they werent Nike's. I figured all lying slime ball men wear them, since Tiger is their role model.

Thinking of Him

So instead of being productive today

alone in this empty house,

Im playin around and expressing myself.

You can see someones soul through their eyes.

You can hear it through their voice.

So vulnerable to be judged.

Raw and out there,

their spirit stripped down and exposed.

You Are

“You are a beautiful being of light energy 

that has come to this lifetime to be love, 

give love and receive love. 

You have the ability to make a difference 

just by choosing to care, 

be compassionate, 

be kind 

and be present for another being, 

human or animal.

 You make a difference. 

Your life matters to the rest of us.” 

—Susan Barbara Apollon

Exit With Grace

 "I put the breaks on...cause I'm driving no where. 

I past up on sure things because of her. I'm about to have MAJOR fun and take life by the heels! And leave her behind...unless she gains her senses...but I will never stop moving. No matter if I get her or not. 

I'm cool with her being a memory if I have to. 

Life is toooo short!" ~Will

How I Feel

From the very first moment I layed eyes on you,

I knew that you were the greatest of your kind 

that I had ever seen. 

And now all this time later, 

you continue to make all the others 

seem so dull and suboptimal. 

You make me want to be a better person 

and because of you, 

anything seems possible. 

I thank God for you.

Im a Dreamer

Im a dreamer

 because I believe in the impossible.

 Im a dreamer 

because I have a vision. 

Im a dreamer 

because I have hope. 

But most of all,

 Im a dreamer because

 Im making my dreams come true!

~A.Delight

My Epiphany

Lost without a direction. 

Not knowing what to do next.

 "I dont know where I belong, 

but I will be moving on"

I realized tonight 

that none of that matters. 

The who, what, when and where.

What matters is my life's passions. 

I need to create. 

I need to be me.

I need to surround myself 

again in my canvas.

I need to grow as an artist.

I want to fully explode in my world 

and get lost in the process

If I can do that... 

then Im home free! 

To your good health, Mark Hyman, M.D.

12 Tips to Optimize Your Methylation Process

Just as there are many causes of poor methylation, there are lots of things that support its proper functioning. Here's how to maximize methylation -- and prevent conditions like heart disease, cancer, dementia, depression, and more.

1. Eat more dark, leafy greens. You want to eat l cup a day of vegetables like bok choy, escarole, Swiss chard, kale, watercress, spinach, or dandelion, mustard, collard, or beet greens. These are among the most abundant sources of the nutrients needed for optimal methylation.
2. Get more Bs in your diet. Good food sources include sunflower seeds and wheat germ (vitamin B6); fish and eggs (vitamin B6 and B12); cheese (B12); beans and walnuts (vitamin B6 and folate); leafy dark green vegetables; asparagus, almonds, and whole grains (folate); and liver (all three).
3. Minimize animal protein, sugar, and saturated fat. Animal protein directly increases homocysteine. Sugar and saturated fat deplete your body's vitamin stores.
4. Avoid processed foods and canned foods. These are depleted in vitamins.
5. Avoid caffeine. Excess amounts can deplete your B vitamin levels.
6. Limit alcohol to 3 drinks a week. More than this can deplete your B vitamin levels.
7. Don't smoke. As noted above, smoking inactivates vitamin B6.
8. Avoid medications that interfere with methylation. See notes on this above.
9. Keep the bacteria in your gut healthy. Take probiotic supplements and use other measures to make sure the bacteria in your gut are healthy so you can properly absorb the vitamins you do get.
10. Improve stomach acid. Use herbal digestives (bitters) or taking supplemental HCl.
11. Take supplements that prevent damage from homocysteine. Antioxidants protect you from homocysteine damage. Also make sure you support methylation with supplements like magnesium and zinc.
12. Supplement to help support proper homocysteine metabolism. Talk to your doctor to determine the best doses and forms for you. Here are a few suggestions:
• Folate (folic acid): Amounts can vary based on individual needs from 200 mcg to 1 mg. Some people may also need to take preformed folate (folinic acid or 5 formylTHF) to bypass some of the steps in activating folic acid.
• Vitamin B6: Take 2 to 5 mg a day. Some people may need up to 250 mg or even special "active" B6 (pyridoxyl-5-phosphate) to achieve the greatest effect. Doses higher than 500 mg may cause nerve injury.
• Vitamin B12: Doses of 500 mcg may be needed to protect against heart disease. Oral vitamin B12 isn't well absorbed; you may need up to 1 or 2 mg daily. Ask your doctor about B12 shots.
• Betaine: This amino acid derivative is needed in doses from 500 to 3,000 mg a day, depending on the person.
By working to optimize your methylation you can protect yourself from virtually all the so called "diseases of aging." When you do, you will be well on the road to lifelong vibrant health.

To your good health,

Mark Hyman, M.D.

Where I Want To Go

I want to go where the lemon trees grow

Where the strawberry fields beckon my bare feet to stroll 

And  a lover awaits my return

to rejuvenate my soul

Thats where I want to go

A place where the sun warms my nude skin 

and the citrus breeze will captivate and entice

me to lust and to sin

where the lemon trees grow, 

thats where I want to go.
