These are the thoughts I wish to share with you and all on this Thanksgiving Day.  

I thank God and Buddha for giving me the privilege of my challenges that moves me to higher frequencies of life and still have the given skills of instantaneous healing for all range of spiritual, emotional and physical conditions.


I am thankful for:

• Family and friends with their diversified beliefs and personalities have enriched my life immensely! I love each and every one of you!
• Our circle of love and action for a better world is coming closer together more and more as we draw more amazing people together to support each other's similar idealistic goals. 

On-going living philosophies, "Dare to Dream and Live It" Many dreams die just thinking it, we must practice "PMASA" with the dreams otherwise they are empty dreams. There must be a real commitment. PMASA? It is Positive Mental Attitude, Speech, and Action!  Without Action, everything is naught.....

"Together we flourish, Singly we may flounder". This is one of the reasons why I have always worked in cooperative partnerships with all my projects and it is an exciting platform.  Our new courageous friends and soul partners, The Awareness TV Network with Amanda and Chris is exactly the next step to blossom our self.

This "now generation" of dedicated and idealistic young blood who are progressively courageous to carry on our controversial legacy of forward-thinking for the modern times with natural ancient classic wisdom joining the planet and universe together in love, not war. Joining science and spirituality! "We are all one...not greater nor lesser!"

Love IS Life!

We have been courting love with life, first, the foreplay and explorations which has its many challenges and subtle eventualities to find the right union.  Now co-joined with the youngblood we are reaching the ultimate explosive climax which is and will be revolutionary to human being-ness!  There is no limit...see the sky and heavens...is there a cap or boundaries...the skies envelop the contours of the earth effortlessly!  

Life IS love.  

Whether it is bad, tough or good is what our mind and spirit proclaim it to be....all sensations and happenings are created by God (the divine, Buddha, greater spirit or what your ideology or name) to be fully experienced and appreciated to its' fullest!  In times of what we perceive as greatest despair, we need to be even more grateful to be able to experience that what is and relish that which we name as good.  We create our own destiny...even being borne into what and who we are with multiple choices of actions to become what we are destined to be.  We are to "enjoy" every experience and opportunity, spiritually, emotionally, and physically that is provided to us as part of the cosmic universe.  The earth is only one platform to the many platforms of life that we will continue to experience...for as science and the ancients know...everything is energy ("kinetic" energy we learned in school or Qi-energy as in Chinese culture), and energy is never destroyed...it changes frequencies...to a higher or lower level.  Quantum Physics validate these principles.

My dear, dear sisters and brothers of this planet and universe, you are me and I am you...never shall we part...it is FOREVER...I am so fortunate to be with all of you whether we have physically met or not, I know you intimately in the highest spiritual sense whether cognitively or not.  Having experienced both life and NDEs, I appreciate even more the ultimate spiritual-ness of being.

I am, you are, and we all are...whatever is, is to be accepted and appreciated.  We ourselves create our own living destiny to recreate life as the "Miracle" that we were born to be what God intended.  Yes, "CREATION" and "MIRACLES" are at every moment of our life! It is up to us...who we will be individually and collectively.  Machiavelli the Italian philosopher said (paraphrasing) " We were born perfect with all we need in our lifetime"  A Buddhist parable says "We were born perfect in harmony with nature with all that we need for many lifetimes." Both are right!  There is one Chinese word "Danger", also means "Opportunity"!

You are precious in every detail, my deepest love and respect that we are part of each others' lives.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Also, contacting the White House, your U.S. Senators and Congresspersons requesting that they take corrective action to resolve this would be very beneficial (i.e. Decrease the VET Center Program’s Clinical Visit Count Mandate and Quantity-Focused Metrics to an acceptable level with a Greater Emphasis on Quality Care Standards and Counselor Well-Being, and Allocate Additional Funding so More Counselors can be Hired as soon as possible, etc.).          
 
For your convenience, written responses you can paraphrase in your own words are provided below:    
​   
       -  The clinical visit count and production mandates instituted by the VET Center Program is excessive and needs to be curtailed so that the health, well-being, and morale of counselors does not continue to be negatively impacted; which has degraded their ability to provide quality care to veterans and their families, and is causing a high counselor turnover rate.  U.S. Senators and Congresspersons need to be more engaged to resolve this problem.  Veterans and those who care for them deserve better than this. 
    
       -  Our veterans are not getting the best treatment services they deserve since the VET Center Program is not looking out for the welfare of their counselors who are burning out due to the unreasonable clinical productivity standards and additional administrative duties being placed on them by management.  This needs to be corrected immediately so that quality care for veterans and their families does not continue to be compromised.  Additionally, VA/VET Center Program management must be held accountable for threats and retaliation against employees who have spoken up to address these issues.    

       -  The consequence of the VET Center Program’s oppressive clinical production metrics and excessive administrative workload policies being placed on counselors, combined with a shortage of clinicians and high caseloads; prevent veterans from getting adequate services they deserve, and especially puts suicidal veterans at higher risk.  Therefore, it is imperative that the clinical production standards be reduced to more reasonable levels with more of a focus on quality care and counselor welfare, rather than emphasizing the achievement of excessive quantitative production numbers which serve the bureaucratic system instead of the veterans we our here to help. 

       -  More funding from Congress for the VET Center Program is desperately needed so more counselors can be hired as soon as possible to meet the demand for services and decrease the high caseloads.  This will help ensure quality of care for veterans and the well-being of clinicians is maintained and not compromised.  
          
       -  If the clinical productivity standards in the VET Center Program are not reduced, the health and well-being of counselors will continue to suffer which will impede their ability to deliver quality care, and this will result in veterans and their families not receiving adequate services which they deserve.  This should not be happening to our veterans and the counselors who care for them, and the VA/VET Center Program must be held accountable to correct this. 

       -  The clinical productivity and administrative expectations being forced on counselors by the VET Center Program leadership is not in compliance with the NASW Standards for Social Work Practice in Health Care Settings, and these performance standards exceed what research shows to be harmful to both clinicians and quality of care.  This is unethical and must be rectified to avoid further harm being done to clinical staff, which also adversely impacts services for veterans and their families.
 
Your support on this very important issue is greatly appreciated.  Thank you for anything you can do.  I will keep you posted on any further developments.
