AS WE VOTE THINK

DEATH ON SEVEN MILE ROAD

by Melissa del Bosque @MelissalaLinea 
Mon, Mar 2, 2015

The rush to militarize the U.S.-Mexico border has tragic consequences in Texas.

. . .The truck swerved again but didn’t slow. There was no way to communicate with the driver. The smugglers had been in such a rush that Jose Isabel hadn’t even seen the driver’s face. It had been nearly a month since they’d left the Guatemalan highlands in early October. In Mexico, the nine men had ridden on top of the freight train La Bestia and had their backpacks stolen near the Rio Grande. When they’d arrived in Texas with nothing but empty wallets, they’d felt lucky to have made it.

Just this final drive to a safe house, they thought, and then they’d be on a bus to New Jersey, where they had construction jobs waiting for them.

Now all Jose Isabel wanted was for the driver to stop. Something had happened to his brother. He could barely hear Jose Leonardo over the deafening noise of the speeding tires on the dirt road, and now a strange sound engulfed them. A helicopter blotted out the sun. Through the fabric he saw, above him, the outline of a soldier and the thick barrel of a gun.

Capt. Stacy Holland maneuvered the helicopter closer as the pickup sped east down Sevenmile Road toward the small South Texas town of Peñitas. The shooter, Miguel “Mike” Avila, had already shredded its rear tires with at least 18 shots from a rifle. A plume of dust billowed in its wake. The truck fishtailed, but it didn’t stop.

“Johnny, you think it looks good? We can give it to him again on the front left,” said Holland to the helicopter’s co-pilot, Lt. Johnny Prince.

“Try and hit a tire, Mike,” Prince said. Avila sat in the open door of the helicopter steadying his rifle.

“Game warden, we’re going to go hot. Give us some room. Give us some room. We’re gonna go hot after the front tire,” Holland radioed to the wardens pursuing the truck on the ground.

A shot rang out.

“You got it,” Prince said...

HAPPY????

"There is always a reason to be happy?"

I don't agree. 

If you search for it you can find something to be grateful for that in better times would bring joy. But, happy is not necessary in the dark of struggle. It is seeing a way out that small pin points of light, in an otherwise dreary situation, creates the tension that tells the body and soul, "I will survive this..."

Could You Be the Most Beautiful Idea?

Jennifer Aniston Is PEOPLE's 2016 World's Most Beautiful Woman!

Jennifer Aniston may be one of the most gorgeous stars in Hollywood, but she was still humbled and "very, very flattered" when she first heard the news that she was being named the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. "I thought, 'Oh my God,' " she tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "There was this sort of very excited, teenage-y kind of moment."

 

The actress, who says she's learned to embrace her appearance over the years, insists she feels her best when she's healthy and strong.

 

"It's funny, it's a really quick transition from not a care and now all of a sudden, we've got to really be mindful of what we put inside our bodies," she adds. "And how we sleep and take care of ourselves. You can get away with a lot in your 20s."



Maat Petrova advises, 'Keep beautiful, delicate things around you to remind yourself of how beautiful you are and to be gentle with yourself.' (11.22.15)

Aniston, 47, was first motivated to start taking care of herself early on in her career after an agent told her she didn't get a part because she was "too chubby." 

"I was like, 'What?!' But my diet was terrible," she says. "Milk shakes and French fries with gravy [laughs]. It was a good thing to start paying attention."

 

Now the actress mixes it up by exercising at least six days a week for about an hour each day and watching her diet. But that doesn't mean she won't indulge in her favorites. From chips and guacamole to her husband Justin Theroux's pasta carbonara, which they make together every couple of weeks, "I'm not as strict as I was," she says. "It was always sort of a monitored watch. Then I thought just give yourself moderation."

 

Besides cooking and exercising with her husband, Aniston says just being married to Theroux brings her the greatest joy. "He makes me laugh. He's so interesting and so interested," she says. "He's unbelievably talented in more areas than one and he's just a good man."

 

 

actress Kim Fields played Tootie Ramsey on the popular sitcom Diff'rent Strokes.

As for her natural look, the actress gives full credit to her glam squad for teaching her "everything that I know! Whatever was happening before was just unfortunate," says the star, adding that she now knows how to contour her cheeks and blow out her hair. "When I was in my 20s, my face was almost a complete circle. So I really needed contouring. And now I'm slowly chiseling away, wishing I had that round face back."

 

If she could magically try any new look and instantly go back, Aniston says she'd be game to check out a pixie cut. "If I knew I could instantly push it back. I'm very curious to see what I would look like with really short hair," she says. "But I'll never do it. Never. I'm a long hair girl. It's like a security blanket."

 

So how does Aniston define beauty? "Inner confidence. Peace. Kindness. Honesty. A life well-lived," she says. "Taking on challenges and not feeling shame for things that haven't gone the way you felt they should have. And not feeling like a failure or allowing people to critique your life and make you feel like you've failed at something. That's just toxic noise."

Balance Form

"Maat Petrova, the red stripe somehow adds to the beauty, and strength of your body. It is an art form creating shapes from a perfect form changed by birth, challenged by challenges and perfect by creative processes."

 'Yes, this Goddess inspired my soldier pose.'



Jomel Neter adopted the pose of Nature. Her secret is patience.

 

What Isn't Know

Celebrating Beauty




Sanctity of Feminine is a secret to the crude, the willingly ignorant &
 abhorrent to those who prey upon women's spirits and bodies.

"What was once secret and mysterious has been opened to the winds, and mystique has been rendered obscure in the lexicon of femininity. It is a loss for young women because a time will come their daughters' lives will ask for its return to the sanctity of their bodies, and most important: their essence." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.21.14
