This is Love

TEEN SOUL POWER

This is What Love is All About

     It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.

     He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.

      I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

      On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
      While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctors' appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.

      The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
       I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.

      As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

      I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?"

      He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."

      I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."

                                                                                                                     -- Anonymous

True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
            True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the best of everything they have.

I had to share this with you all.
I hope you share this with someone you care about.

Choosing Your Path of Life. This book is simply, about enhancing your quality of life. For each phase of life you enter, the quality of your life should strengthen, not weaken. It should increase, not decrease. It should expand the positive features and attributes of your life, not shrink or contract them.
This book is about helping everyone find the path to a better Quality of Life. We, at TeenSoulPower, want to help you to identify what makes a happy and healthy life. More importantly, we want to help you to make a fulfilling life. Most of us think we know how to do this, but the truth is that if you do not know how then your life is in free-float. It is moving ahead - but may not be making any progress, it may be aimless, drifting, with neither rhyme nor reason, with neither purpose nor goals, set adrift and vulnerable to the whims of fate. Available at Smashwords: $1.99.

The Marijuana Highway: A MUST READ for ALL Parents and Teens! The premise of "The Marijuana Highway" is that marijuana is a powerful, toxic and addictive psychoactive drug.
The Team at TeenSoulPower has reviewed - literally - hundreds of articles and studies on marijuana. Not one study was found that even hints that marijuana is a protective factor for positive youth development. Not one study was found that states that marijuana use supports healthy families. Not one study was found that concludes that marijuana use builds strong communities. Not one study was found that has proven that marijuana is a safe drug. In fact, overwhelmingly, the findings are exactly the opposite in all four cases. Everyone wants a happy and healthy life. Many have found, though, that the quality of life they wanted never materialized, simply because a friend said “Try this, it won’t hurt you." Available at Smashwords: $1.99.

Sex and the Single Teen: Sex has become a "distraction of life." The goal of this book is to refute the social pressures to rush into sexual relationships. It is to negate the hype and illusions of sex, and to explore and provide a rationale that strengthens resolve to wait - to wait until the time, the circumstances, the emotions, the psychology and the spiritual factors are all aligned. It is to help you avoid the "Sex Trap." Sex is a life choice. As with all choices it can be positive - but it can be very, very damaging. The material is as significant and critical as any other issue or topic can possibly be.

Available at Smashwords. $1.99.

Alcohol,Drugs and Teens: The purpose of this book is to help people improve the quality of their lives by avoiding one of the greatest health problems: drug abuse. Addiction is the #1 Health Problem in America, and 9-out-of-10 addicts began using alcohol or drugs before age 18. Not one teen ever said, "When I grow up I want to be an addict." Addiction is definitely a process of morbidity, of making people sick. It is definitely a disease. It affects mind, body, emotion and soul. And addiction always begins with simple use. If one never smokes one does not develop addiction to nicotine. It is the act of using a substance that potentiates the addiction potential.
This book spells out the nature and problems of drugs and recommends prevention as the best medicine.
