Just a quick update on Mom's condition for friends and family. On my way back home from the Legacy Family Tree Cruise, we drove up to Margaretville, NY to visit Mom at the nursing home.
I actually was dreading this visit because back in May when I last saw her, she was bed-ridden, couldn't open her eyes and seemed very bloated. Imagine my surprise when she wasn't in bed but in her "geri-chair" (used for geriatric patients).
Not only did she look less bloated but occasionally she would open her beautiful blue eyes. My two aunts joined us and we spent about an hour just sitting there holding her hand, stroking her hair, massaging her shoulders and just plain "being there."
Just to be able to do this, to be in the moment, and so late in our Alzheimer's journey, was such a blessing.

Skid Row L.A., CA
peace and love to EVERYONE on the road to CIVILITY - i hope the art that has been created by this soul touches your soul too. Let it help facilitate more love - inspiration - learning of everyday adversity & the creating of beauty out of anguish, finding the conscious soul of nature etc.
please like my pages, (see Blog section above for different locations!)
The art i have created is therapy for me, and i hope it helps others as well❗ i hope to be on my journey to a Ph.D. in Art Therapy so that i can help other Veterans who also have PTSD.
Enjoy the slide show, click on the art you like & it goes to the page -
So in the interim to becoming an Art Therapist, I hope I will see success in finding my art in millions of homes across these United states � for which I did my part to ensure democracy for - but all around the world, which i also advocate the same freedoms and dreams as that which we hope for here. i have shared some links in the blog section of my page, so if you don't wish to purchase art now, but you may still wish to help me on my journey, please then look 8/29 Blog, and other Blogs to get an idea of who i am.
Most all the art is based on love. Some of the pieces are done in variations of color and texture, because we are all different, and like a variety, so, some U should look at closely if you think therethere are 2 � of the same piece , they are likely different when looking at them individually instead of a thumb nail. Primarily, it is love amongst adversity, and the entity of love we are in good times as well as despite the bad or horrific times. This art is EVERYDAY Valentines, it is more than just romantic art, it is about who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming. Some people love naturally, some people work at it, and some people have not yet fully realized the potential of their love for some reason or another.
There is also a hope that the Art here will be beheld for the nature of the art, the story of the art, and hopefully - this art encourages, inspires, nurtures, and gives hope to our world for a broader road to CIVILITY.
It is this same civility that i yearn to share, through the grappling of severe trauma that has affected me severely - to the point of many years of undiagnosed PTSD and severe depression. Civility that comes in the hands of truth, the integrity to that truth, which is responsibility not only of the person facing a situation, but those who created the situation through dishonesty and/or (what we know as) evil practices *(to say the least). It is the hope of civility unto ourselves, when we are ready to give up or worse... that we hopefully have some of the love that we typically give so freely to others, that we now have it available for ourselves. This civility will allow for us to love at our greatest, when we love ourselves in the greatest possible health... this, what the artist is working on, may be the hardest task for some of us... to love ourselves, especially when loving, hoping, nurturing, etc. has come so easy when it comes to others.
peace and love to all, please be Civil, Love yourself - that you be the fullest realized person loving in this world!
many have inspired me to share my art, after years of not being able to do anything for myself, my PCC therapist & many friends told me, the art was excellent, etc., and that i should share my art... .
My dream Career has always been about helping people, for this is my spirit, and i aim to go back to the University to earn a Ph.D. in art therapy. i don't know how soon i - maybe 2 years - time to find stability i hope.
please also, after you are done book marking all the art you want now, or in the future, Please see my Blogs (located in top row) which shows other activities i am doing, and contributions that can be made for stabilization - which in turn will enable me to ART more - with materials i have not yet been able to realize , on projects that ruminate in this space address of the brain, heart and Universal Soul.
There are links to the Videos i have made, and have been made, there are links to the:
- EveryDay Poetry Blog
- { installation } Resurrected Love Reclamation - which i hope to take around the world and grow to 100,000 pieces,
- the helping of a disabled homeless Marine Veteran - please - in your contribution - share with as many people as possible for this dream to come true - This Marine still has much more to contribute - and still contributes in his overwhelming adversity (unmerited i add)
- Fan Page
- Aida page - is about helping other Veterans one Veteran at a time (personalized help for after or while the artist gains stability himself)
pending on how it all goes, there is much anticipation that there will be much more to come - this is still the artist's first year in public (media) showing - doing it all his self, if there are other ways you wish to contribute, please send kenneth james a message.
thank you so very much
peace and love
disabled Marine Veteran

Sony Ericsson snubbed Google over Nexus One
Contract killer
Sony Ericsson turned down the chance to make the Googlephone, because it didn't want to become a contract manufacturer - not even for the Chocolate Factory.
Sony Ericsson CEO Bert Nordberg told Swedish newspaper Sydsvenssan (Swedish only) about the discussions. In the interview Nordberg says relations remain good with Google, which turned to HTC to manufacture the Nexus One, instead.
Nordberg was formerly head of Ericsson's Silicon Valley operation.
Google upset its ODM (original device manufacturer) customers and network operators when it decided to tear up its approach to market, and compete directly with licensees of its own Android OS. The result was the Nexus One, which is currently sold online in the US only.
This is an unfair perception, since there's precious little difference between the Nexus One and other HTC Android phones apart from the Nexus' high quality, expensive casing. They're all pretty generic and ironically, Motorola has made far more investment in its own UI enhancements to Android than Google did with the Nexus One. But in the market, perception is everything. "Is your Android a genuine Googlephone?"
Like Moto, Sony Ericsson has invested heavily in its own UI on top of vanilla Android, called TimeScape. It unveiled more Android phones last week.
