Wednesday's Silly Purchase Suggestion

Too tired to post yesterday. I trained really hard and was spent. When I sat down at the computer the idea of my fingers moving across the keyboard was exhausting in itself. So I stared at the screen and thought about all I should write for about an hour then went to bed. I woke up this morning my muscles sore but my mind refreshed. I love training. I have said it before and I will say it again. Martial Arts is my Prozac. And dancing with my ninja friends, of course. Things that lift my spirits and rejuvenate my soul.
What also lifts my spirit is...... ninja shopping.

Wednesday's silly ninja purchase is......
PLUSH NINJA DOG TOY!
Because your dogs need to have a little ninja fun too.

Ninja with a cause Monday

I was pondering the plight of the individuals who have Gastroparesis, (paralyze stomach, basically)
I have been trying to read up on it and try and get a grasp on it all. I could never understand what a person must endure. And that is what they have to do, Endure.

Let's look at the word Endure.
Definition
1- to hold out against
2- to bear without resistance or with patience
3- to continue to exist, last.

One way to translate the word Ninja is "one who endures"

To the people I speak of in the first sentence - You are Ninja and I am humbled by your strength

Be aware and buy a bracelet.

Ninja catch up

I've been internetless for a few days. I know... the horror.
So it is catch up time. I'll summarize..
Tuesday I was going to ponder the words honesty and truth.
I don't believe people are completely honest with each other or themselves.
And I cool with that.
I don't believe it is possible to know the whole truth.
Due to people's individual  perceptions, views and selective vision.

Wednesday I was going to suggest

Ninja for a cause

Do you have a cause? Because I do. I have a few that are very personal and important to me. Right now I am focusing on Gastroparesis awareness. Chances of getting Digestive Tract Paralysis is 1 in 25. 

Gastroparesis Overview

Gastric motility disorders are gastrointestinal conditions which affect the body's ability to digest food normally. A number of conditions fall into this category, including gastroparesis.

Gastroparesis literally means paralyzed stomach.  It is one of the most severe and complicated gastric motility disorders. It can be caused by a number of factors and is commonly seen in the diabetic population. Often the cause is unknown. It is more prominent among females than males. Approximately 5 million Americans, including children, suffer from gastroparesis. In some instances, it appears for a brief time and goes away on it's own or improves with treatment. Many cases are refractory and do not respond well to treatment.

Gastroparesis is complicated to treat and treatment options are limited. There are few medications available, mostly geared towards symptom control rather than dealing with the underlying problem. For this reason, they are often ineffective.

Additional treatment options include diet changes, certain surgical procedures, and in severe cases, nutritional support through feeding tubes or IV nutrition.

I copied and pasted this info from G-Pact.org. I wanted to make sure I got the information correct. It's important and I am sure they will understand. This way you don't have to click once more to get more information.

Thursday's combination

Slip, 2, 3, 2, F1, F2

I like front kicks. They are my favorite. I am fond of low round one kicks as well. I like to double them up. Low than high. I don't like knee kicks. Receiving them or trying to use them against another. If I am in close I prefer punching. When on the receiving side I know to drive into them and bring my arm up and around and push the side of the face for release. But I usually just drive into them and think what am I suppose to do next. I always forget. There are other releases but I forget them too when I am in the clinch. But I like front kicks.

Be good
