Top 10 Reasons NOT to Commit Suicide

image

With so much going on about bullying, internet attacks, and suicide at ALL AGES I felt I had to give you a few reason why you should NOT kill yourself (or others)

 

Reasons NOT to kill yourself

 

1. It’s just not cool

 

2. Your suicide note hasn’t been perfected. A note is something people left in EVERY century prior to this one. In the technology enlightenment era, you can no longer leave a “note” because it will live on forever! And in the age of digital footprint, you want to be sure your “note” if more of a manifesto. It could take months even years to clearly outline your thoughts and feelings. It will go viral so be sure its good.

 

3. Your dog would miss you (if you do not have a dog, get one so he/she could miss you) No one will care for your dog the way you will!

 

4. Have you cleaned your room?! I say this everyday or every time I feel like I had a close call  I say, “I can’t die today my room is not clean”. Do you REALLY want the paramedic team to have to go through your filthy room? Ummmm no! If you put this on your “bucketlist” you will be around for a while!

 

5.Whomever is the source of your pain or depression will win. You don’t want that

 

6.Where would you do this? I’m sure you have not thought about the Where? Who will find you? etc….. I’m sure you don’t want your family/friends to find you. And aren’t those the people who would find you,so no! I don’t really recall enemies,ex fiances, ex boyfriends,ex wives, and haters coming to check on you to see if you are alright, it WILL be a friend or family member who will have to discover your body, not cool.

 

7. Your mother will pass out! – Yes she will pass out! Oh hey she will pass the f*** out! Like fall out! She loved you for 9 months, she loved you before you didn’t get into Yale, after you didn’t get in to grad school, and before you got divorced, after you got evicted, while you were in rehab…all that jazz. It’s true. It was you and her just chillin and hanging out together month after month after month.

 

8. Life is the the most important thing in LIFE! Nothing else truly matters in life,everything else is just minor details

 

9. Ask yourself this question…If I won $50 Million Dollars next week would I still want to commit suicide? If your answer is NO, then you are not a great candidate for suicide, your problems can be solved with money. That is literally putting a price on your life. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxX-QOV9tI You cannot put a price on a life!

 

10. Do you value Life? Science? Religion? Spirituality? I got you covered … The Short version You would be turning your back on all 4 if you commit suicide

 

There you go! TOP 10 REASONS NOT TO COMMIT SUICIDE

 

Notice I do not mention friends and family as a reason not to kill yourself because lets face it they probably got you in this situation.

 

Okay Okay my #11 is Family and Friends!

 

11. If you want to commit suicide , think of the other people it will effect. DO NOT be fooled by crazy people telling you its “your choice” . Yes,sure, it is your choice to ruin your family, sure ! 😉 why not?  They just don’t finish the sentence. Truth is when you kill a family member it affects EVERYTHING! Even though you say “NO one cares about me, no one will notice if I’m dead, my parents will be better off, my sister hates me, I wish I were dead”  Its just a myth. You ARE in effect altering the course of your natural life and it will affect others. So even if you want to kill yourself, don’t because other lives will drastically change. If you can’t stay alive for you, then stay alive for your family.

 

SO to sum it up do not kill yourself or others, because I care and I love you!

1st Vegan Bar in EastBay- Jack London Square

I think I have found my new favorite East Bay spot!

The Olde Depot, opens April 20 in Jack London Square! Eastbays’ first premier vegan and beer shoppe.

I have not yet tasted the deliciousness but I will keep you posted and share pictures!

The Olde Depot (http://oldedepot.com/) is the first vegan bar in the Bay Area (that I know of). Let’s show’em some love.

They have about 20 craft brews and the menu includes 3 kinds of sliders, tacos, sandwiches, fries, onion rings, etc.

As you know I send tons of people to Herbivore to get the veggie burger ,but now I may have an Eastbay solution!

Easter Sunday! Family for ALL

A message to everyone who is not with their family or cant be with their family or simply those who do not have any family.
It is nice to have loved ones,you experience a love like no other,it is the only purpose of life.
But don’t forget that Family is not defined by blood. Many times you will find that your blood family can hurt you more than any stranger on the street. Family is defined by commitment, loyalty, and love. A man and wife are not blood but they are family. A dog and the owner are not blood but they are family.
Having family is the most important accomplishment you can achieve.
But not having any family does not mean you are lonely. Loneliness is a state of mind.
You may be alone but that does not mean you have to be lonely.Reach beyond your comfort zone and grab on to love, peace, forgiveness,and realize scientifically that we are all one!
We are all family!
Enjoy your Easter Sunday!

Final Day of 40 Days For Life

40 Days For Life is a worldwide movement that values Life. Plain and simple; any other words are just confusing details open to limited interpretation. The value of life is not open to conversation or debate. It simply is!

40 Days For Life is ….you got it! 40 Days of dedicated grassroots call -to – action strategy that protects life. February 13 – March 24 you can find people in meditation, prayer, action, and conversation that results in peace, love, and saving the lives of families across the globe.

I am 100% behind this movement, not because I am Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Republican, Liberal, Tall, Short, Asian, or Smart. I am behind it because I truly know the only real thing that matters; LIFE . Everyone knows that at the core. It just takes some longer to arrive there in order

As you all know, I value life, peace, love and the present moment. As Eckhart Tolle  says “The present moment is all you have” . Simply put he explains that past and future are thought forms,pure hallucinations that will drag you away from the only thing you have,the present moment.

In the present moment the only you have is acceptance of what is. Life. When you go against that in anyway you go against yourself, nature, and the source of who you truly are.

Go with life not against it

Transcend your limiting labels and realize deeply that you ARE life, you don’t have it.

I plan to start my own movement for life and I am certainly going to adopt some of these peaceful solutions to saving the MOST VULNERABLE lives across this planet; the young human!

Great Job www.40DaysForLife.com

Technology of my Skin Care is Sun Protection

 

Face and skin secrets
Face and skin secrets

This post is not about a start up, coding, funding or disruption …..its actually about makeup!

I recently posted a picture of me attempting to do my own eye make up and was flooded with comments about my skin, so I thought I would post my response for everyone to see.

Makeup is fun, key, and a must for most girls….but not That Tech Girl!

Make up to me is simple and meant to highlight your beauty, not cover it up. I have done a 5 minute makeup routine for years! However I have realized that I should be prepared in the event I have to do my own make up for film and television so I have started studying on YouTube. I have been blown away with all of the talent sharing tips.

Film make up is completely different from day to day make up. I find many people don’t know the difference or perhaps they just don’t care. For a regular day- to- day- there- are- no- red- carpets- or- cameras- following- me look, LESS is always best! For a camera ready look you will always want to go outside of your comfort zone and PACK IT ON!

I know I know make up and Tech don’t really seem to fit but guess what…THEY go hand and hand.

Makeup is a form a technology, it is a tool used to get you from where you currently are to where you want to be. It is a tool used as real life social media. It says a lot about you whether you like it or not.

So to get to the point and answer the question proposed to me by a number of people…..

HOW DOES YOUR MAKE UP LAY SO EFFORTLESSLY AND WHY IS YOUR SKIN SO CLEAR???….

SKIN CARE IS SUN PREVENTION:

  • I wear SPF 70 or higher EVERYDAY
  • On cloudy or rainy days I drop down to SPF 30
  • I do not consume more than 30 minutes of direct sunlight per day
  • I do not sleep in make up…DO NOT DO IT
  • I do not drink alcohol
  • I do not smoke or hang around smokers…I avoid 1, 2, 3rd hand smoke whenever possible
  • I do not have direct contact with the sun longer than 5-10 min at a time.
  • I ALWAYS use an umbrella /parasol/EXTRA large brim hat if I must be out in the sun (I shop coolibar.com
  • There you go that is the secret!

I would love to here your skin care tips!

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO, Andrew Mason.

Loss is relative.

He has been fired. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quote!

“I was fired today. If you’re wondering why… you haven’t been paying attention. From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock price that’s hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the events of the last year and a half speak for themselves. As CEO, I am accountable.”

The Take away: Have a FREAKIN AWESOME QUOTE next time you are fired!

Tell me what you said to your employer/partner/client  the last time YOU were fired!

Ill start….

“Yea this wasnt working out for me either, I was going to contact you next week to end this relationship, I wish you the best!

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Living in the moment

“If the past or the future existed some scientist would have discovered it by now” Eckhart Tolle.

You cannot live in the past or the future, they do not exist . The only moment you have is this one.

You spent your entire adolescent being programmed to look in the future or work through the past but no one ever tells you how to actually live your REAL life. Real life as in the one you are in right now. Its amazing we literally live in the eternal now!
