o Every year March is designated Women’s History Month by Presidential proclamation. The month is set aside to honor women’s contributions in American history.

Did You Know? Women’s History Month started as Women’s History Week Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California. The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978. The organizers selected the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women’s Day. The movement spread across the country as

other communities initiated their own Women’s History Week celebrations the following year.

In 1980, a consortium of women’s groups and historians—led by the National Women’s History Project (now the National Women's History Alliance)—successfully lobbied for national recognition. In February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the Week of March 8th 1980 as National Women’s History Week.

Subsequent Presidents continued to proclaim a National Women’s History Week in March until 1987 when Congress passed Public Law 100-9, designating March as “Women’s History Month.” Between 1988 and 1994,

Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month.

Since 1995, each president has issued an annual proclamation designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.”

The National Women’s History Alliance selects and publishes the yearly theme. The theme for Women's History Month in 2021 captures the spirit of these challenging times.

Since many of the women's suffrage centennial celebrations originally scheduled for 2020 were curtailed, the National Women's History Alliance is extending the annual theme for 2021 to "Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.

In researching different hats that a woman might have to place on her head, I thought we ladies might appreciate this article for Women History Month. We all know as a woman there are countless situations and roles that a woman may have to encounter that seems like an impossible task. Some way, somehow, she will pick up that hat and place it on her head. A woman, wife, mother, grandmother, provider, counselor, clergywoman, politician, educator and that list goes on and on. We have some suggestions that one may find useful when it comes to appreciating the women in our lives. I hope some of them may help in our appreciation to Women History Month. I reach out to all families that have a woman in their life whether she is your wife, mother, sister or niece.

Communication Tips

By Contributor Writer

Publishers Note Ethel Martin-Miller My heart was so broken and sad when on February 16, 2021 my 15 year old Precious Granddaughter, Kylee Martin was taken home by the Lord Jesus. What a beautiful soul. I will see her again one day. I received many hugs from her and she received many Kisses from me. I found this Poem and it seems to fit our relationship.

Have you ever really thought about the way in which you communicate? Have you ever listened to yourself and how you participate in conversations? Do you have to be the one to always ask the questions? Do you ask questions and really hear what the person has said to you? Do you ask a question and then quickly begin to talk because you are sure you know what the person you are talking to is going to say? Do you ask questions to which you already know the answer? Good conversation is eloquent, compassionate, helpful, universal, and effortless. This sort of leaves gossips by the side of the road unemployed and useless Giving someone your full attention while you are talking to them or while they are talking to you is very important.

Engaging someone means that for that moment they are the center of your attention. You are not looking over their shoulder while they are talking to you to see if you can spot someone more important to talk to. It means you are making eye contact and you are listening and really hearing what they are saying. If you have traveled at all you know that some areas of the country just appear to feel friendlier than other sections. If you have a chance, notice that in some areas when

people talk to each other they sometimes touch each other. The speaker in a two-person conversation will sometimes shake hands with the person he is talking with and then also place his left hand on their shoulder. You see this often happens in the south or with people that are from the south. They want you to know that what they have to say is meant for you and what you are saying is being heard. Although touching is not as well accepted as it once was (Cov-19), honest eye contact can bring into being the same meaning.

How we transmit a message is just as important as what we say in that message. A note sent by snail mail can be more meaningful than an email although both notes have the exact same wording. One message just brings with it more meaning than the other one does.

Even though we have tools to communicate more rapidly does not mean that we should communicate more rapidly. Sometimes just taking time to make eye contact rather than a phone call can create a true sense of caring.

Caring, what a concept. A touch of caring, courteousness and a pinch of politeness can only help any human situation.

THE WORD Husbands Love Your Wives and Do Not Be Harsh with Them Colossians 3:19

The following scriptures addresses the gravity of different types of loss, while reminding believers in the With so many of us experiencing the lost of our love ones or friends from Cov-19 or H other illnesses we hope that these scriptures will give some sort of comfort.

Matthew 5:1-3 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them. He said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

1 Corinthians 15:42-44 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; and it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

By Richard O. Jones Not too long ago in America, wives were considered the property of her husband. In the unfortunate cases of domestic violence, the first responders (usually the police), the courts, and even the church often took the position that the abused woman brought it on herself because she should’ve been more obedient and not angered her husband. Neighbors and relatives seldom got involved because it was considered a family matter. I recall a scene from the 1982 movie, “The Color Purple,” when the character ‘Mister’ played by Danny Glover would routinely beat Cilie, played by Whoopi Goldberg, and she accepted it as a woman’s’ plight. The movie was set in the early 1900s. Mister’s son, Harpo, grows up and soon brings home Sofia, played by Oprah Winfrey, a proud and strong-willed woman whom he loves and later marries. But eventually, Harpo tires of Sofia not minding him.

Mister tells him he has to beat Sofia if he wants her to mind. Even Celie, who is submissive and docile, agrees this is the only way to make a woman “jump when he says to.” But Sofia is victorious in beating Harpo instead. Angered by Celie’s suggestion, she confronts her, but her anger subsides when Sofia realizes how much Celie has suffered from Mister’s cruelty.

Many misguided men of today expect their wives/girlfriends to cower in

submissive obedience at his finger snap.

Misinformed Christian men misused the Holy Bible to dominate their spouses.

The Bible says that husbands are to love their wives as Christ loves the church.

While I am not one to advocate couples should separate because of a minor, non-injury, single episode of domestic violence; however, family counseling and professional anger management should be sought. But at the next hint of violence even before a single tear leave an eye the relationship should be consider over. By the action of mothers and fathers, the children learn such as Celie learned to accept abuse and Mister learned it was his right is be abusive. Couples in volatile unions must understand that this is not God’s will for them under any circumstances. Perhaps the abuser shows remorse with flowers, candlelight dinner, candy and/or romance but that’s not a pass to abuse God’s Temple, which our bodies are. They must repent, seek help and honor the commitment.

Richard O. Jones now deceased was one of my best friends that keep me laughing. It was Richard and myself who thought we would be publishing his work on a monthly basis, but the Lord took him home. Thinking about you often my friend.

Cabbage Juice: Uses, Benefits, and Side Effects

Cabbage belongs to the Brassica genus of plants, which includes broccoli, cauliflower, and kale. Informally, members of this group are known as cruciferous vegetables. This versatile vegetable can be eaten raw or steamed, fermented, and even juiced. Cabbage juice is loaded with nutrients, such as vitamins C and K, and drinking it is linked to many purported benefits, including weight loss, improved gut health, decreased inflammation, balanced hormones, and body detoxification.

While a lot of research supports the health benefits of whole vegetables like cabbage, few studies have investigated the effects of consuming vegetables in juice form Nevertheless, some research suggests that there are benefits to drinking cabbage juice. Studies have been conducted in animals; additional research is needed in humans.

Cabbage juice is high in antioxidants, which are substances that help reduce cell damage caused by free radicals. An accumulation of free radicals in your body may lead to inflammation and disease. Its high in Vitamin C supports immune health and also acts as a powerful antioxidant. Red cabbage is packed with anthocyanins. These plant pigments give red cabbage its reddish-purple color and have powerful antioxidant properties. One test-tube study showed that red cabbage juice had anti-inflammatory effects in spleen cells.

Anthocyanin-rich diets offer many benefits, including a reduced risk of heart disease. Additionally, some antioxidants found in cabbage juice may have anticancer properties.

Cabbage contains many anti-inflammatory compounds.

These include sulforaphane, a sulfur compound found in many Brassica vegetables, and kaempferol, a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory effects.

Another study looked at the anti-inflammatory effects of cabbage juice extract on skin health. In a group of mice with contact dermatitis, an inflammatory skin condition, topically applied cabbage extract ointment significantly reduced inflammation.

Drinking cabbage juice may help prevent and treat stomach ulcers.

In fact, cabbage juice has been used as a traditional remedy for stomach ulcers, although current human research is limited, animal studies have shown cabbage juice may help heal stomach ulcers. However, current human research on the effects of cabbage juice on stomach ulcers is limited. Fermented versions of cabbage juice may also benefit gut health. The juice that results from making sauerkraut.

Other potential health benefits of drinking cabbage juice include the following: Potential anticancer effects. Cabbage juice may help protect against certain 5

cancers. In fact, consuming 5 or more servings of cruciferous vegetables weekly is linked to a 33% reduced risk of lymphoma in women.

In one study, people who consumed juice containing cabbage had lower cholesterol, other studies link the intake of cruciferous vegetables to a reduced risk of heart disease.

Although drinking cabbage juice likely offers several benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider. Some evidence suggests that consuming cabbage in high amounts may affect your thyroid. Substances called goitrogens in cabbage can inhibit iodine transport to the thyroid, a process necessary for normal thyroid function.

Furthermore, goitrogens are found in higher amounts in raw cabbage, so those with thyroid conditions, such as hypothyroidism, may choose to avoid consuming cabbage juice.

Some nutrients in cabbage juice have been shown to interact with certain medications. Cabbage is high in vitamin K, which can affect the ability of blood thinners like warfarin to prevent blood clots. It’s typically advised to maintain a consistent vitamin K intake while on the medication. If you are taking a blood thinner, it may be best to avoid adding cabbage juice to your diet. However, if you decide otherwise, consult your healthcare provider before adding it to your regimen.

Juicing vegetables removes much of their fiber content. Fiber promotes feelings of fullness, maintains your gut health, helps stabilize blood sugar, and can reduce cholesterol.

Largely due to their high fiber content, cruciferous vegetables like cabbage have been acknowledged for their ability to positively alter gut bacteria..

However, by juicing cabbage rather than eating it raw, you may be reducing much of its fiber content.

Some individuals may experience gut discomfort or gas from drinking cabbage juice.

It’s also high in fructans, a type of carb that individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) often have a difficult time digesting.

Cabbage juice, along with other green juices, can offer several health benefits, check with their healthcare provider before incorporating cabbage juice into their diets. If you choose to drink cabbage juice, do so in moderation. Because plain cabbage juice has a strong taste, consider combining it with other juices, such as apple or carrot, to reduce the bitterness and make it more palatable.

The bottom line cabbage is a healthy, delicious, and versatile vegetable that can be a great addition to your diet. Consult your healthcare provider before adding cabbage in your regimen.

Dog breeds that weren’t meant for your home All dog breeds originally come from one common ancestor but have drastically changed over the years. Genetic variance and selective breeding by humans have drastically diversified what dogs look like and how they function. There are around 200 to 300 dog breeds depending on which kennel club you subscribe to. Some of the differences in appearance are small, but it comes down to what you’re looking for. Dogs aren’t meant to be kept as pets originally and even though some have been bred and trained to stay indoors, they don’t all benefit. These are the top dog breeds that vets agree weren’t meant for your home.

Chow Chows are incredibly protective of their owners and their territory and will show aggression to outsiders. This makes them difficult to keep at home, especially if you have a lot of visitors. They typically don’t warm up to strangers easily and can be dangerous to keep with other dogs.

Siberian Husky Another thing to keep in mind is that Siberian Huskies get lonely if left by themselves for too long.

They need to be around people or other dogs and animals so they don’t get bored. This breed also loves to escape from wherever it’s housed, so be prepared for that.

French Bulldogs don’t do well in airplane rides. They can become overheated, due to stress and major breathingimpairment, and die if they are transported over long distances without rest. They also tend to struggle with separation anxiety and need constant company and attention from their owners.

Dalmatians, t hey can be difficult to keep at home due in part to their hearing problems. A great number of Dalmatians are affected by varying degrees of deafness, which can make them hard to train and handle. Most owners don’t know that this is a common issue, which means that Dalmatians are often misunderstood and mistreated. They are also really energetic and love being outdoors as opposed to indoors.

Shih Tzu, they are extremely hard to housebreak, which means our floors won’t last long until they’re trained. They can also develop multiple health issues due to their difficulty with breathing properly. Shih Tzu’s are known to make a raspy sound when they breathe because of their short snout. They also are high risk for eye diseases and skin allergies. They can be expensive to take care of.

Aussies, keeping Aussies indoors for long periods of time can be harmful to them and your home. They easily become restless if not exercised; they need more exercise than most other breeds with a minimum of 30 to 60 minutes a day. Only actives people should consider owning an Australian Shepherd

Pit Bull, you have to be careful about owning a Pit Bull depending on where you live. Some places have restrictions on where they can go and if you’re expecting to travel, there are airlines that have banned them from travel. Owners can also be held liable if their dog attacks another person.

German Shepherds are active dogs and need something meaningful to do in order to be happy. They are great with families, but only if they’ve been properly trained or socialized from when they were puppies. There are incidents where they are known to bite people but that’s not always the case.

There are many more dogs that weren’t meant for the home, we will list them by breed and google this information.

Jack Russell Terriers, Greyhound, Pekingese, Shar-Pei, Basenji, Doberman Pinscher, Caucasian Ovcharka, Dachshund, Afghan Hound, Skye Terrier, Weimaraner, Great Pyrenees, Rottweiler, St. Bernard, Great Dane, Wolfdog, Dogo Argentino, Cane Corso, Bull Terrier, Canary Mastiff, Chihuahua, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Border Collie, Fila Brasileiro, Bullmastiff, Boerboel, Catahoula Leopard Dog, Bernese Mountain Dog, Affenpinscher, Belgian Ma linois,

A FUNNY STORY ABOUT THE $2.00 BILL I received this little story in an e-mail, don't know if it's an actual account, but it's a funny one. Story- The $2 Bill. Everyone should start carrying them! I am STILL laughing!! Many of today's youth are terribly challenged without a computer to tell them what to do!!

The story is funny. Lack of education is not funny!! On my way home from work, I stopped at Taco Bell for a quick bite to eat. In my billfold are a $50 bill and a $2 bill. I figure that with a $2 bill, I can get something to eat and not have to worry about anyone getting irritated at me for trying to break a $50 bill. Me: "Hi, I'd like one seven-layer burrito please, to go." Server: "That'll be $1.04. Eat in?" Me: "No, it's to go." At this point, I open my billfold and hand him the $2 bill.

He looks at it kind of funny. Server: "Uh, hang on a sec, I'll be right back." He goes to talk to his manager, who is still within my earshot. The following conversation occurs between the two of them: Server: "Hey, you ever see a $2 bill?"

Manager: "No. A what?" Server: "A $2 bill. This guy just gave it to me." Manager: "Ask for something else. There's no such thing as a $2 bill."

Server: "Yeah, thought so." He comes back to me and says, "We don't take these. Do you have anything else?" Me: "Just this fifty. You don't take $2 bills? Why?" Server: "I don't know." Me: "See here where it says legal tender?" Server: "Yeah."

Me: "So, why won't you take it?" Server: "Well, hang on a sec." He goes back to his manager, who

has been watching me like I'm a shoplifter, and says to him, "He says I have to take it." Manager: "Doesn't he have anything else?" Server: "Yeah, a fifty. I'll get it and you can open the safe and get change " Manager: "I'm not opening the safe with him in here." Server: "What should I do?"

Manager: "Tell him to come back later when he has real money." Server: "I can't tell him that! You tell him." Manager: "Just tell him." Server: "No way!

This is weird. I'm going in back." The manager approaches me and says, "I'm sorry, but we don't take big bills this time of night." Me: "It's only seven o'clock! Well then, here's a two-dollar bill."

Manager: "We don't take those, either." Me: "Why not?" Manager: "I think you know why." Me: "No really, tell me why." Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security." Me: "Excuse me?" Manager: "Please leave before I call mall security." Me: "What on earth for?" Manager: "Please, sir." Me: "Uh, go ahead, call them." Manager: "Would you please just leave?" Me: "No." Manager: "Fine -have it your way then." Me: "Hey, that's Burger King, isn't it?" At this point, he backs away from me and calls mall security on the phone around the corner. I have two people staring at me from the dining area, and I begin laughing out loud, just for effect. A few minutes later this 45-year-oldish guy comes in. Guard: "Yeah, Mike, what's up?"

Manager (whispering): "This guy is trying to give me some (pause) funny money." Guard: "No kidding! What?" Manager: "Get this ... a two dollar

Things in Your Kitchen That Can Kill Pets There are many toxic substances in our homes that can be potentially harmful, including a plethora of toxic foods for pets and household pet toxins. The list is long, but we wanted to share some of the most dangerous — and perhaps unsuspecting things in the kitchen readily available to dogs and cats that pet owners may not know about?

The popular single-serve coffee pod brewers have turned our kitchens into instant coffee bars packed with those nifty coffee pods. Some of us like to keep them on the countertop for easy access. With the introduction of a variety of good-smelling flavors, these coffee pods are enticing to pets. Coffee beans, grounds and brewed coffee contain caffeine, a very dangerous and toxic chemical to cats and dogs. Ingestion can be life threatening. According to the Pet Poison Helpline, a moderate amount of coffee can easily cause death in small dogs or cats. Be careful where you store your coffee and your discarded grounds.

Make sure your pet can’t gain access to what’s inside your trash can. Other caffeinated substances to keep pets away from: chocolate, tea, tea bags, soda, energy drinks, weightlifter substances and diet pills.

According to Pet Poison Helpline, grapes and raisins have been known to cause acute kidney failure in dogs.

Unfortunately, the reason for kidney failure and the number of grapes/raisins necessary to be toxic to pets is unknown, so all cases of ingestion have the potential to be grave.

Depending on the size of the dog, as little as four grapes/raisins can have an adverse effect on your fuzzy friend. Pet owners should avoid leaving grapes and raisins on countertops and avoid giving dogs cookies that contain raisins, or even chocolate or yogurt-covered raisins as treats. It’s also important parents educate their children on what types of foods are not okay to feed Fido.

Also known as alkaline substances, oven cleaners and automatic dishwasher detergents have little odor or taste, making them easier to consume by curious pets.

bill." Guard (incredulous): "Why would a guy fake a two dollar bill?" Manager: "I don't know. He's kinda weird. He says the only other thing he has is a fifty." Guard: "Oh, so the fifty's fake!" Manager: "No, the two dollar bill is." Guard: "Why would he fake a two dollar bill?" Manager: "I don't know!

Can you talk to him, and get him out of here?"

Guard: "Yeah." Security Guard walks over to me and...... Guard: "Mike here tells me you have some fake bills you're trying to use." Me: "Uh, no."

Guard: "Lemme see 'em." Me: "Why?" Guard: "Do you want me to get the cops in here?" At this point I am ready to say, "Sure, please!" but I want to eat, so I say "I'm just trying to buy a burrito and pay for it with this two dollar bill. I put the bill up near his face, and he flinches like I'm taking a swing at him.

He takes the bill, turns it over a few times in his hands, and says, "Hey, Mike, what's wrong with this bill?" Manager: "It's fake." Guard: "It doesn't look fake to me." Manager: "But it's a two dollar bill." Guard: "Yeah?" Manager: "Well, there's no such thing, is there?" The security guard and I both look at him like he's an idiot, and it dawns on the guy that he has no clue. So, it turns out that my burrito was free, and he threw in a small drink and some of those cinnamon thingies, too. Made me want to get a whole stack of two dollar bills just to see what happens when I try to buy stuff.

WORD SEARCH FOR THE KIDS

targeted by pets and children. Severe injury to the eyes, skin, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system can be seen and require immediate decontamination, medication and supportive care by a veterinarian.

Xylitol is a sugar substitute commonly used in sugarless gum, certain cough medicines, children's chewable multi-vitamins and a variety of nut butters.

It also used in many baked goods and candies. Xylitol is extremely dangerous to dogs. The effects of xylitol are immediate and can be very severe, often life threatening.

Signs of toxicity can be seen in as few as 30 minutes, says the Pet Poison Helpline. Xylitol can also be found in a variety of toothpastes and there are a few peanut butter brands that now list xylitol as an ingredient.

While most of us know alcohol is bad for our pets, there are some who think it’s funny to share a beer with their pet.

According to the Pet Poison Helpline, alcohol poisoning in pets is all too common.

You might be surprised to know where alcohol is hidden — and how your pet can become accidentally poisoned: Pure vanilla and almond extracts, certain brands of Dijon mustard, wine vinegar, wineflavored cheeses, certain whipped creams, marinara sauces prepared with wine, chocolate truffles that may contain rum or bourbon, rum-soaked fruit cakes and unbaked dough. When the yeast in the unbaked dough ferments in your pet’s stomach, it produces carbon dioxide and alcohol which is then rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. Ingestion of alcohol can cause dangerous drops in blood sugar, blood pressure and body temperature. Intoxicated animals can experience seizures and respiratory failure.

If you suspect your dog has ingested a toxic substance, call your veterinarian immediately. If your vet is not available, seek help from the Pet Poison Helpline at 855-289-0358 always information on www.petpoisonhelpline.com The hotline's service is available 24 hours every day.

You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom?

'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
