What Beauty A Tree!

October 26, 2018 theRipregistry , , No comments

It makes you wonder.

I was walking my dog this morning on this bright morning. While walking I was looking at the beautiful changing leaves on these old tall trees, thinking to myself what a story could they tell of their lives. Generations of people passing by, sitting under them, shading themselves from the hot summer days or rain. Possibly overhanging their striking leaves protecting a young amorous couple having a picnic. With the years and seasons passing, I wonder if they could talk to us, what stories would be told?

I remembered 35 years ago when I had this same feelings and thoughts and decided to write a poem. I want to share it with you this beautiful fall day.

What Beauty A Tree! by Adriana Fanti

A tree is beauty and tree gives shade

A tree gives comfort to all this day

A glamour to see with all its leaves

Flourish in elegance, mobility at ease.

Man kills the trees as ancient they may be

For man has eyes, though he cannot see

With all its beauty it brings when old

A tree won’t harm and is quite bold.

What beauty a tree!

We are not replanting and how wonderful. Just like these aging trees, we too are aging and want to leave our legacy behind to the next generation.

A Story About Finding Courage To Deal With The Upcoming Death Of A Loved One  -by: www.ilanelanzen.com

Carlie’s mom was going to die, it was just a matter of when. She had stage 4 cancer and was given a life expectancy of under 12 months. Carlie was living in denial and terrified to admit that truth to herself.

Carlie spent the first month after her mother’s suggested life expectancy avoiding her mother. She didn’t want to deal with the grief that was welling up inside of her. By avoiding her mother she could focus on other things that didn’t make her feel bad.

One day her mother showed up on Carlie’s doorstep unexpectedly. She had a scrapbook in her arms and said she wanted Carlie to take a look at it. Carlie and her mother sat down at the kitchen table and her mother opened up the scrapbook and went through it page by page with Carlie.

At the end, Carlie knew that she would no longer hide from the upcoming death. She also knew she wouldn’t focus on it either. The scrapbook, full of loving and happy moments between Carlie and her mother, had reminded her that her mother’s life was more important than her death and that Carlie wanted to soak up every moment that she had left with her mother.

She started her own scrapbook that same day focused solely on the journey her and her mother were taking together. Every week she filled it up with memories of what they did. Laughter, fun, love, and adventure were the main themes of the scrapbook.

The experiences she shared with her mother, along with the reminder of those experiences as she scrapbooked them, gave Carlie the courage to spend time with her mother, even when she wasn’t doing well. She cherished the life, not the death, and in the end, she learned that was really mattered the most.

Carlie says that this story is focused on one of the biggest lessons of her life. Moreover, it is one of few motivational and inspiring stories she shares with everyone she meets.

It is important to have memories and keep your loved one present.  It is equally important to leave your legacy behind to your family and loved ones.  This can be done at www.theripregistry.com.  It is an online service, absolutely free where you can document and keep your affairs in order for your loved ones, in time of need.

Are you Vitamin D Deficient? Most of us are.

October 22, 2018 theRipregistry , No comments
Here are 8 signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency.
  • Getting Sick or Infected Often. Share on Pinterest. …

  • Fatigue and Tiredness. Feeling tired can have many causes, and vitamin D deficiency may be one of them. …

  • Bone and Back Pain. …

  • Depression. …

  • Impaired Wound Healing. …

  • Bone Loss. …

  • Hair Loss. …

  • Muscle Pain.

It’s often known as the “sunshine vitamin,” because your body can make vitamin D on its own after exposure to sunlight.

You can also take supplements of vitamin D, but very few foods contain this vitamin.

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorous, which are both needed for bone formation. It also assists in muscle, heart, lung, and brain function.

I myself have Back Pain, Hair Loss and Muscle Pain and am becoming more forgetful.  I went to the doctor to get some blood work done as low and behold, I AM VITAMIN D DEFICIENT.  I am now taking 2000iu a day of Vitamin D.  You can purchase pure Essence Veggie Caps or Soft Shells etc.  You have options.

If you are experiencing any of these 8 symptons above? Upon your next visit to the doctor get some blood work done and ask for Vitamin D work up.  Lastly I don’t recommend loading up on Vitamin D yourself as Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means it’s stored in fatty tissue. However I do recommend visiting your doctor to see if there is a need.

What is Vitamin D Deficiency? and 5 Symptons to be aware of?

A 2014 study determined a severe vitamin D deficiency in adults doubled their risk of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. They found individuals with low levels of vitamin D have a seventy percent chance of developing Alzheimer’s and those who had a severely low level jumped to 120 percent.

There is also a link between low blood levels of vitamin D and aggressive prostate cancer in men. Research has shown men with severe erectile dysfunction (ED) had significantly lower levels of vitamin D than men with mild ED. There is an association between vitamin D deficiency and heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and diabetes. You can reduce your risk of heart disease by exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a healthy diet, including good sources of vitamin D.

Continue reading to learn about more symptoms of a deficiency in this vitamin now.

It’s your legacy!  Your matter!

Repossessed Vehicle

Repossessed Vehicle

July 15, 2018 theRipregistry , No comments

Toronto Lawyer shared this story.

His Aunt had passed away unexpectedly.  She wasn’t married and lived outside the city and owned her own home, a rather new vehicle and had other assets.

Her family/next of kin had no idea where she banked or if she banked with one financial institution or multiple ones. They wondered if she had a Safety Deposit Box, if she had prearrangement funeral arrangements and/or selected her final resting place.  Did she or  Last Will and Testament?   Who the lawyer was? if there was one?

They found it very difficult and a daunting task as they scrambled to take care of all the necessary funeral arrangements, locating the products and services the Aunt had in her portfolio.  It was a challenging time for their family, trying to take care of all her affairs.

Several months later after the funeral, the aunt’s vehicle was repossessed and towed away. They later found out they had just a few payments left.

Had they known, they would have made those last few payments and kept the vehicle.

It is safe to say, had the aunt the opportunity to document her wishes and products on theRIPregistry.com site, the executor would have had a checklist with contact names, addresses and telephone numbers, assisting with the gathering of information and making necessary arrangements a less overwhelming and ensuring that all avenues were taken care of  without having after thoughts if everything was found and dealt with.
