What Everyone Ought To Know About Spirtual Experience

 “The essential lesson I’ve learned in life is to be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you’re not here as a human being only. You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.” ~ Wayne Dyer 

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namaste. 🙏 I know this isn't relating to photography and I also realize it's been five years since I've made mention of anything spiritual. This year will make six years since I've made mention of anything spiritual and about religion. In a way this is a follow up to The Strange Reality of Religion and I'm not sure how you'd describe this blog, perhaps a little more deeper than my first blog. Who knows if this may or may not be my last spiritual blog or if I may have a final follow up blog on where I'm at in life spiritually. I feel like I've spiritually grown since but more rapidly now since we're currently in the end times and my pre-spiritual stages in my personal life because I've had experiences in the past of where my grandmother (my mom's mom) had came to me in a dream at the age of 16 telling me in Cantonese that she'll be okay and not to worry. I remember feeling freaked out because I never had that experience before. My grandmother's death was never an easy subject for me to openly discuss but I know she's watching over me. Second time that my grandmother came to me was after the passing of my grandfather in June of 2003, this time I wasn't freaked out. There's not a day that passes that I don't think about them and I miss them a lot! So I know I'm capable of seeing spirits and the idea of seeing spirits and shadow spirits but that concept simply does not bother me much. I've seen a shadow spirit coming out of my former friends' apartment one Saturday night in September if I'm not mistaken and it was very interesting how quickly the shadow spirit came flying out, rushed past me into the street before disappearing into thin air. It was as I would describe it as a "comet" like but smashed up into a ball and I know it sounds horrible with how I am describing it! I have this book, Practical Guide to Psychic Self-Defense: Strengthen Your Aura by Denning & Phillips that I had purchased at Enchantments in the East Village several years ago but never gotten around to finishing reading the book. A spiritual mentor had given me these books: 

• Advanced Candle Magick: More Spells and Rituals for Every Purpose by Ray Buckland;
• Communicating With the Dead: Reach Beyond the Grave by Jeff Belanger;
• Fasting for Spiritual Break Through: A Guide to Nine Biblical Fasts by Elmer L. Towns;
• The Holy Anointing by Guillermo Maldonado;
• The Illustrated Dream Dictionary by Russell Grant;
• The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.

Books I've ordered from Amazon are:

• New Revised Helping Yourself With Selected Prayers;
  
• Powers of the Psalms by Anna Riva;
• The Magical Power of the Saints: Evocation and Candle Rituals by Reverend Ray T. Malbrough;
• MagicSeer Classic Design Tarot Cards with Guidebook;
• The Spirits Book by Allan Kardec
  

I'm also looking to get Keepers of the Light Oracle Cards and Angels and Ancestors Oracle: A 55-Card Deck and Guidebook both by Kyle Gray. When time permits, next item on my list to purchase in the upcoming weeks is Gypsy/La Gitana Statue 10" and what made me want to buy the statue is when I first went to the Original Botanica was when I walked down the statue aisle, I said my full name (first, middle and last name along with my birthday) then the following day while I was in the shower, La Gitana made herself known to me! Believe it or not, it works. If you're unconvinced, visit Original Botanica on Webster Avenue sometime and try it. Two spiritual books I currently am reading are 'Raise Your Vibration: 111 Practices to Increase Your Spiritual Connection' by Kyle Gray and 'Chakra Healing: A Beginner's Guide to Self-Healing Techniques that Balance the Chakras' by Margarita Alcantara. Both are interesting in their own way but the Chakra Healing is more of an interesting read so far and I would recommend Chakra Healing: A Beginner's Guide to Self-healing Techniques that Balance the Chakras.

• Lemon Oil
  
• Patchouli Oil
  
• St. Jude Oil
  
• Ylang Ylang
  

I've been interested in Wicca back when I was in high school but never did anything with it because I've always felt intimidated by it and I've been curious about the Wiccan arts. At the time, I didn't have the resources and didn't know any of these spiritual retail shops existed at the time. In regards of religion, I've always had this nagging feeling that all these religions were up to something but couldn't put my finger on it. I still have my books on Wicca and they're in a container sitting on my closet shelf, I plan on keeping them for when they're needed. I've been looking at different books on Amazon and whenever I go to places such as Barnes and Noble in Union Square or to spiritual shops like Namaste Bookshop on 14 Street or even Original Products Botanica on Webster Avenue in the Bronx or Enchantments in the East Village. I also had the experience of going to Fountain of Youth on Fresh Pond Road for several items back in August of 2020 and haven't had the opportunity of going back since early August. I've also been to Lemuria Emporium INC in Richmond Hill, New York but unfortunately there was a fire at several stores surrounding the store around 1AM in the morning. I heard about it on the news but briefly thought about it and didn't fully put two and two together until several weeks ago. It wasn't until I looked it up online and saw that Lemuria Emporium was affected as well. You can read the article at your own leisure, Massive Queens fire that left 36 residents homeless sparked by lit candle in closed 'metaphysical' shop: FDNY and I hope they're not permanently closed because I've had a positive experience shopping there in November, shortly before the fire broke out. I've only shopped there twice in the month of November. There are two YouTubers I often watch and one of them teaches astral projection and the other does healing. A former employee at Walgreens had mentioned several years ago this young British guy by the name of Ryan Cropper and someone had him on a podcast as a guest almost two years ago titled: AP 160: Astral Projection & Exploring your Consciousness - Ryan Cropper. I've also been watching Shamon Oaks on YouTube and there's a podcast on Spotify titled: Shamon Oak's Ayahuasca DMT Trip Experience | Your Mate Tom Podcast #26 + My First 5-MeO-DMT Trip. What got me interested in Shamon Oaks was a video he had done where he talks about a past life regression titled Past Life Regression - Burned at the Stake. I've also purchased Modern Guide to Energy Clearing by Barbara Moore and Magical Rituals for Protection by Donna Rose. There was something of interest in Magical Rituals for Protection that I wanted to use on a particular individual that I'm no longer on speaking terms with!

 

As I'm growing in a spiritual way and learning more about Yahuah, along with the archangels. I would recommend Yahuah/Yahusha Power Prayer; A History of the True Hebrews (Documentary); 100% UNDENIABLE PROOF Of Our Creator YAH!; (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 1; (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 2; (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 3; and YAHUAH'S BIBLICAL HEBREWS REVELED: Contrary to the Whitewash! to view at your own leisure. Everything that we've been taught in life was all a lie about the bible, notice everything from Hollywood when it comes to black face instead of using someone from that culture. I don't agree with that idea but look at shows like The Good Doctor and they're using someone who doesn't have autism playing a doctor with autism. Anyway, I've come across this website regarding Yahuah because I was sending an email to a particular person and used Yahuah's name instead of using "God." I'm not mentioning any names since this individual had made herself clear that she wanted nothing to do with me, okay, fine by me since she wants to play victim over what I've posted on social media and I didn't know she's the social media police (whatever but I don't owe her an apology because deep down she knows I'm right regarding what I've said in the first email back in November of 2020 but she's weak, *think of the scene from The Craft where Nancy says that Chris is weak in scene: "You're Going to Kill Yourself Tonight"* and she's in the wrong for how she was behaving towards me but payback will be a bitch in a spiritual way if you catch my drift). I was going to help her out spiritually because she had mentioned that she wished her parents would get a divorce, I was going to offer her two different candles of the back to back separation candles: Back To Back Candle (Black) or a Back To Back Separation: Red to choose from along with either the Separation Scented Custom Candle or Separation Custom Big Al Candle. Finally, there's an item to finalize all things separation is the Separation Oil! All she has to do was provide pictures and birthdays of both her parents for spiritual work so the spell can be a success... Since we're currently not on speaking terms at the moment, she's on her own with her wishful thinking and even if she feels that it's going to work itself out somehow with her parents going their separate ways, I highly doubt it very much to be honest with you. However, I suppose I'm not going to help her out after all if she's going to continue to be the way she is [a bitch] and all I have to say is she seriously need to stop playing victim. I must add lastly is this individual knows deep down she is wrong but refuse to fully admit it because I know she will go to my mother and bitch to my mother on what I've mentioned in this blog instead of having a conversation with me directly because this is our fight, this shouldn't have to involve my mother in any of this mess. At this point of where I'm at in my life, I want to care but I need to wash my hands clean so to speak because I have things to do and I can't worry about people such as this individual. If anything, I'll let the shadow spirit do its thing and do what it has to do to this individual, I will no longer intervene with the shadow spirits purpose but I will make mention of it once, the rest is up to the individual. As for this other individual, she can believe all she wants about her situation with her ex and I was also going to help her out as well to win her court case involving their son with Win in Court Kit; Court Case 7 Day 1 Color Prayer Candle; Court Case Oil; Court Case Cologne; Court Case Sachet Powder; and Win In Court Amulet. I've told the second individual in email (same email as the first individual) that the Order of Protection isn't a bullet proof vest and a matter of fact, these two individuals want nothing to do with me. Again, this second individual needs a picture along with her ex full name and birthday. There is a psalm in Powers of the Psalms by Anna Riva that she can use in order to win in court for full custody of her son before her ex decides to commit a crime. I couldn't careless at this point and yes, it does sting a bit but I'm learning from this experience on who I let in my circle of friends, I know what to look for if I ever find myself in a similar situation at some point, especially if there's red flags involved (which I've always seen but wanted to let it play out to the end) but I do need to come up with a checkmate first which needs to be timed out perfectly. I know what to do and I already have a plan in mind if I find myself in a similar situation such as this in the future. At any rate, I've been doing what I can to do some research on what links to use for this blog so people can remain informed.

• Yahuah/Yahusha Power Prayer
• 100% UNDENIABLE PROOF Of Our Creator YAH!
• YAHUAH'S BIBLICAL HEBREWS REVELED: Contrary to the Whitewash!
• A History of the True Hebrews (Documentary)
  
• (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 1
• (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 2 
• (The True Hebrew Israelites) Scattered Among the Nations: Part 3

I'll end this blog with a spiritual goals I wish to work towards is being able to work on my mental telepathy and as well as Outer Body Experience or astral projection, whichever term you wish to go with. I've been looking up different spiritual shops within New York City other than Enchantments in the East Village area; Namaste Bookshop in Union Square; and Aum Shanti Bookshop & Psychic Tarot Card Readings on East 14 Street [it's walking distance from Union Square, it's between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue, across the street from Beyond Sushi and not far from iHop]. So far, I've been to Fountain of Youth in Ridgewood [Queens, NY]; Lemuria Emporium INC in Richmond Hill; Enchantments; Namaste Bookshop; Aum Shanti Bookshop & Psychic Tarot Card Readings; and Original Products Botanica in the Bronx. I have my fingers crossed that I can search around for several items for my alter but already found an P.S 9" New Scottish Celtic Gaelic Twist Knot Ruby Gemstone Wicca Dark Dagger Knife and it looks pretty but I'm looking forward to eventually ordering this particular item from Amazon! Another personal spiritual goal is to improve my mental telepathy and outer body experience or astral projection (whichever you wish to call it). I also hope to some day visit Costa Rica since Costa Rica is in my top ten places to visit for my birthday and figuring every year for my birthday, I wish to visit different countries beginning with Japan; China; Dubai; Tibet; Thailand; and Costa Rica. I haven't thought of anywhere else to visit for my birthday but it would be a different environment on my end. Back to Ryan Cropper, a young British dude from England had talked about his experience in Costa Rica for Rythmia: Life Advancement Center and also mentioned his experience with Ayahuasca. Here is a video from Rythmia titled We Are Rythmia and it's gotten me curious on a spiritual level. The total package is valued at $4,800 bucks and I hope I'll have the money set aside for a one week stay in Costa Rica, then there's a chance to enter to win a transformation vacation for one week, seven days at most. A new winner will be chosen each month! There are different meditative music on Spotify and best to find ones you fancy most but will post selected meditative music in a moment.

-Spotify-

"Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

I have found ten different meditations on Spotify and if you're one of many who may not have an account with Spotify, there's two options (one that is free and there are different payment plans available starting from $4.99 per month if you're a student for one account; $14.99 per month for family for six accounts; $12.99 for duo for two accounts; and $9.99 per month for one account all of which is one month free). For those who may not be aware, I have a Spotify account [the free account] and feel free to follow me on there: Spotify and have several playlists for everyone to check out. Who knows, I may fix up several of my playlists in the upcoming weeks.

1. Seeking Yah [a podcast]
2. Yahuah Worship Music
   
3. Meditative Guitar
4. Mantras for Positive Energy
5. 7 Chakras Chants
6. 7 Chakras Healing Music (Tibetan Singing Bowl Edition) 
7. 7 Chakras Healing Guided Meditations 
8. Chakras Unblocking Music and Vibrations
9. Cosmic Chants for 7 Chakras 
10. Cleanse Negative Energy from House: 417 Hz Tibetan Singing Bowl Music. This one is 1 hour and 11 minutes long.
    
11. Shamanic Drums + Om Chanting Meditation and I personally like this one because of its rhythmic sounds/beats. As a fair warning, this meditation is 1 hour and 11 minutes long.
    
12. Shamanic Drums: Deep Trans Humming Meditation. Fair warning, this meditation is 30 minutes and 30 seconds long.
    

I encourage people to do their own research or if I had missed anything, feel free to let me know so I can revisit this blog to add things I haven't added. By the way in case if you may not be aware of this but as a friendly disclaimer, if you piss me off once and watch what happens! Best to sleep with one eye open and find yourself the best psychologist you can. If you're looking to meditate; pray or whatever you fancy, I suggest one of the meditation from Spotify as you meditate and if you're looking for tea light candles, Amazon sells the MontoPack Unscented Tea Lights Candles in Bulk | 100 White, smokeless, Drip-less & Long Lasting Paraffin Tea Candles | Small Votive Mini Tealight Candles for Home, Pool, Shabbat, Weddings & Emergencies where it's 100 candles or your second option is the Bulk Set of 250 Tealight Candles in Metal Cups (White) 4.5 Hour Burn Time (Unscented Tea Lights). If you're looking for something to hold your tea light candles, I've found two items that you can add to your spiritual alter are OakiWay Meditation Decor - Buddha Statue & Lotus Flower Candle Holder W/ Flickering Led Candle - Spiritual Decor, Zen/Yoga Accessories, Feng Shui/Spa/Japanese/Boho Decor, Relaxing Gifts for Women; My Gift Buddha Head Sculpture Zen Garden Set w/Lotus Tealight Candle Holders & Wooden Display Tray, Black or Alpine Corporation WCT202 Tiered Column Tabletop Fountain w/ 3 Candles, 11 Inch Tall, Brown. Before I forget to mention, when you light any candle, please be sure to say "I light this candle in the name of Yahuah!" Then state what your intentions are and pay attention to the flame. It's great to have some tealight candles for spiritual work to your advantage and be sure to use tealight candles whenever possible.

Blessed be,

Jennifer

The Walking Dead Obsession

"Every sacrifice we make needs to be for the greater good. The second it isn't, the second we lose sight of that, it's all over." ~ Dawn Lerner, The Walking Dead, Season 5: Slabtown

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namaste. I've been watching 'The Walking Dead' for a hot minute on Netflix and I'm currently up to season eight. As I'm watching the show, if there were ever a zombie apocalypse outbreak but not limited to what we've seen on shows such as The Walking Dead; Black Summer; Z Nation; Reality Z; and any other zombie apocalypse shows that are out there. There's things I've noticed throughout each season such as health issues/complications and survival skills. I'll get to that in a moment with things that came to mind in recent weeks and I do want to point them out if in the event there is a zombie apocalypse in my lifetime that no one had thought of [in my lifetime, I honestly don't mean to frighten people but it's a reality, truth be told]. I hope people will have their aha moment once they go through all the thoughts of every zombie movie you've ever seen. There may be spoiler alerts (although I cannot promise you anything, 😉 😉) throughout this blog at random for those who haven't kept up with every and all episodes of The Walking Dead. (Spoiler alert! 👉🏾) There was this one character, Dale Horvath played by Jeffrey DeMunn, I liked the fact he'd seen right through Shane Walsh's [played by Jon Bernthal] bullshit before anyone else did and it sucked Dale was killed off the show. There will always be that person who will see right through your bullshit whether you want to admit to the truth or not [🤷🏾‍♀️] and there had been moments when a character would point out whatever it is to the point, you're just like, "True shit but they have a valid point though" or you'd be like "Dude, come on already, you know it's so freaking true and obvious!" I'm just saying and for those who have watched The Walking Dead would know what I'm talking about. One of my favorite characters had been killed off in the first episode of season seven by Negan and I nearly stopped watching the show as a result of Glenn getting killed off. Don't get me wrong, I've had several favorite characters on the show but I'm not going to get into all that. Unfortunately, Glenn Rhee [played by Steven Yeun] and Abraham Ford [played by Michael Cudlitz] both had their heads smashed in by Negan while everyone from Rick Grimes crew, especially Maggie, Glenn's wife on the show all watched helplessly as Glenn and Abraham had their heads smashed in with Lucille or Lucy (Negan's bat). The upside is it's best to learn new skills such as a form of martial arts and if you're familiar with the movie, 'Enough' starring Jennifer Lopez, there's a scene in the movie where Jennifer Lopez learns self-defense, it's called Krav Maga. I've always wanted to learn mixed martial arts, and I've always told myself that if I ever have a daughter, I'm going to put my daughter in a mixed martial arts at age three. My favorite part in 'Enough' is when Jennifer Lopez learns Krav Maga and the final fight scene was epic but satisfying how she took back her power. That's the one promise I'm going to keep until I have a change of heart when it comes down to motherhood is to have my daughter take up mixed martial arts from an early age. Best to find a place that offers Krav Maga and Tactical & Operational Shooting. It'll come in handy early on in the zombie apocalypse in a shit hits the fan scenario. I may at a later time write about SHTF and will look into different programs involving self-defense. Your best bet is to do your own research.

"I have no problem with responsible gun owners who own weapons for self-protection, hunting, or just sport. The ones who believe they have a constitutional right to 100- round magazines to fight off I don't know what - a zombie apocalypse? - try to shut down dialogue with threats and other macho posing because of their flawed beliefs." ~ Kurt Eichenwald

I feel [personally] the people who will survive a zombie apocalypse or shit hits the fan scenario are those who are healthy and mobile enough to survive such event. If you've been training for any length of time, it's a plus and it's best to learn survival skills now to prepare for an apocalypse/shit hits the fan scenario beyond what we watch on television or on Netflix. At the time of this blog, I still yet have to learn these survival skills that can benefit both myself and my son, Stephan both short and long term. If I could get my son in the Boys Scout here in New York, it'll be fantastic because he'd have the necessary survival skills and although, I'm not crazy about boys having knowledge of self-defense because I feel that they can use martial arts for all of the wrong reasons that would unfortunately be used in domestic violence. Yet, I fully support women of all ages to have knowledge in all forms of martial arts because you'll never know what the future will hold for us as women and especially if you end up with an asshole who is very abusive on so many levels. I pray that if I have a change of heart regarding having a daughter that I'd be financially established enough to put her in a mixed martial arts program and as well as the Girls Scouts. Boys, as I've mentioned before, I'm not worried about them because I feel they can hold their own or unless if your sons and nephews have a developmental disability such as autism and/or Down Syndrome than I feel it's a different scenario than those without developmental disability. It's from my honest perspective, although I still favor girls learning self-defense more so than boys.

"We fear death so profoundly, not because it means the end of our body, but because it means the end of our consciousness - better to be a spirit in Heaven than a zombie on Earth." ~ Alison Gopnik

For those with health issues and as well as dietary needs such as those who are vegans. I'm not going to disagree with those who are vegans by choice or born into a family of vegans but we need to eat to survive. If you're asthmatic, a diabetic or someone with cancer and I'm sure you'd survive at least a year but not so much for those who are asthmatic because how will you manage your asthma once when you run out of your asthma medication? What's worse is when there's no electricity to run your nebulizer machine and you're in complete screw city if you run out of your asthma medication. Another thing are those who are visually impaired (whether blind from birth or at some point in life such as an illness or cataracts), I feel they wouldn't survive a zombie apocalypse whatsoever without slowing you and your crew down. Another thing is you never see any elderly people on any zombie shows and that's another thing I've also noticed on The Walking Dead. It's mostly the young; middle aged people; and healthy on zombie shows. You never see any blind people in zombie shows such as The Walking Dead or people with asthma and people who have Cerebral Palsy or anyone in a wheelchair, whether if you're paralyzed either from the neck or waist down or from birth. Plus, you have people who are diabetic and you never hear about folks who are diabetic on any zombie apocalypse show. If there are any diabetics in any post zombie apocalypse show, what if they go into a diabetic shock as a result of their sugar going down as zombies are closing in on them? There's not much anyone can do without having to leave them there without risking their own safety. I hope you see where I'm getting at, I'm talking about those who have legit seen the show, every episode of The Walking Dead up until now. You never see anyone who is blind; asthmatic; down syndrome; autistic (I don't mean having an actor or actress portraying someone with autism because to me it doesn't feel genuine whatsoever but consider this, portraying an autistic person on a show needs to be around someone who is autistic and spend hours and hours doing research for the part on the show, such as The Good Doctor. I feel it's best to hire someone with autism and they can do just do a good of a job as someone who isn't autistic. I believe in authenticity and realness of the acting, as well as singing because that's what makes things real and genuine. I also believe in giving people a benefit of a doubt but of course I know it often gets people into trouble because it's gotten me in trouble in the past and I'm a bit cautious now as a result of it. Another dilemma is in the case of Maggie and Lori who became pregnant on the show and it's an awkward situation. There's another infant on the show, one thing that got me for sure is if everyone is in the middle of nowhere, how in the world are they going to find diapers and clothing for the baby [🤔]? 🤨 Best to find someone who can make children's clothing and it's going to take a village to teach that child to potty train. However, I know it's just a television show for crying out loud! For those who have watched every episode and kept up from season one up until now as we speak, I'm surprised I haven't heard any of these being brought up in conversation. Yes, I understand that The Walking Dead became boring after a while because everyone kept running from the zombies and Shane was an asshole early on in the series before he was killed off the show.

"You can't negotiate with a zombie. They have only one impulse - that's to eat us or our brains." ~ Stephen Graham Jones

There may be some spoiler alerts for those who haven't been keeping up with every single episode of The Walking Dead and don't worry, I'll wait for you to be all caught up with every episode of The Walking Dead. At the time of this blog, I'm up to season nine and episode fourteen (episode titled: Scars) with three episodes left of season nine of the show. One thing I've learned towards the end of season six of 'The Walking Dead' is you have to consider what could go right and what could go wrong because when they encountered Negan and his goons, no matter where they turned, they came across Negan and his crew at each place they've turned to escape Negan to get Maggie some medical help. Meaning, Negan and his crew created roadblocks preventing Rick from heading to the Hilltop in season six of the show. However, Rick Grimes hadn't thought things through each time they came across Negan's crew at each roadblock as they were attempting to leave before being dragged out of their vehicle. In season seven, episode eleven where Eugene Says "I'm Negan" and it made me wonder if he was just going along by saying he's Negan in order to survive or if he genuinely did this in order to survive without being murdered by Negan. Throughout each season they've come across each group of people such as The Governor [played by David Morrissey] than Negan [played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan] and now Alpha [played by Samantha Morton]. Keep in mind I'm only on season nine of The Walking Dead on Netflix and have made mental notes of what to do and what not to do; be prepared of what could go right and what could go wrong such as Negan making his debut sixth-season finale of The Walking Dead. Here's a New York Times article titled: 'The Walking Dead' Season 6 Finale: Negan Arrives, and Then...? I personally haven't come up with a game plan if I ever found myself in a situation similar to groups such as the Saviors, which is Negan's crew. Perhaps I'm overreacting as I normally do but I like to be prepared just in case if I were in this scenario. Zombies are attracted to loud noises and I feel like this blog will tie in with emergency preparedness/SHTF. It's best to learn sign language if in the event you cross paths with someone who is deaf.

Blessed be,

Jennifer

Coronavirus: Is the curve really going down or is the government lying to you?

PETA.

“The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s heading up to about nine billion. Now if we really do a great job on new vaccines, health care and reproductive health services, we could LOWER that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” ~ Bill Gates 

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Namaste. During this this time period as folks are getting cabin fever as the upcoming days become warmer as summer is fast approaching and one thing I’ve noticed in regards of the weather nowadays but don’t want to speak too soon just yet, meaning shouldn’t the weather be warmer? I mean since we are in the month of May, shouldn’t we be putting our heavy sweatshirts away during the day and the temperature averaging to 70 something degrees during the day as the average high? I wouldn’t be surprised if it is somehow connected to global warming, the chemtrails and the contrails to how it effects the weather... Here is an article on chemtrails for you to read at your own leisure: The Government’s Hidden Agenda: A Look Inside Chemtrails. A lot of this is making me question everything in the chain of events and from my perspective, I smell a rat! Before we go on with today’s lesson in the classroom boys and girls, I wanted to inform all of you that I’m doing my own research with an open mind and an open heart without any type of judgement (positive or negative). I've also provided my own opinions and I don't expect many of you to agree with me at some point in this blog. I hope we got that cleared up before we go on with the lesson and I’m going to provide everyone with an unbiased opinion of what I am thinking and feeling. Yet, I am aware of the internet trolls and how these low energy individuals love talking mad junk about whatever lesson plan is or rather topic of discussion. No, I am not a conspiracy theorist and no, this blog is not one of those fearmongering blogs, nor am I trying to intimidate people into feeling a certain type of way. It’s up to you on what you want to do with this knowledge, whether if you want to pass it along to your family and friends then I don’t mind. However I’m not buying into the whole Coronavirus and the Kawasaki Disease but I refuse to get vaccinated or have the microchip implanted in my body, which is known as The Mark of the Beast.

“At the highest levels of the medical cartel, vaccines are a top priority because they cause a weakening of the immune system. I know that may be hard to accept, but it’s true. The medical cartel, at the highest level, is not out to help people, it is out to harm them, to weaken them. To kill them. At one point in my career, I had a long conversation with a man who occupied a high government position in an African nation. He told me that he was well aware of this. He told me that WHO is a front for these depopulation interests.” ~ Jon Rappoport interview with ex-vaccine Researcher

Everything that is being presented to us through predictive programming such as the news media, television shows such as The Simpsons, and movies that leads to what we’re currently experiencing. Everything is very suspicious indeed with the events leading to now and I’m questioning everything. Agenda 21 which was created on April 23, 1992 by the United Nation... Anyway, Agenda 21 is not good because the government and Bill Gates are looking to depopulate the population through creating AIDS/HIV; through September 11, 2001 killing 2,996 people and 25,000 injured (nonfatal); all these viruses such as West Nile Virus, Bird Flu, Ebola, and now this, the Coronavirus. One thing is that businesses, schools, and public libraries remained opened during the West Nile Virus, Bird Flu, Ebola outbreak but why all of a sudden people are unemployed, non-essential businesses closed, schools and public libraries are currently closed. Let's see, there's these I've found online: 'Zika Virus, Rockefeller’; The Hill’s ‘More than 30 million on lockdown in China amid coronavirus outbreak’; New York Times ‘Toll From Outbreak Climbs in China as Infections Reach Europe and Australia’; Foreign Policy ‘As the Coronavirus Spreads, Conspiracy Theories Are Going Viral Too’; Fast Company ‘Why Bill Gates Is the focus of the latest coronavirus conspiracy theories’; and Washington Post’s ‘The billionaire who cried pandemic’. I am absolutely not buying into the whole Coronavirus and the Kawasaki Disease because I do believe that both diseases or rather viruses had been created in a laboratory then the Coronavirus was brought to Wuhan, China most likely out of anger due to a lack of funding by the American government or there was some type of disagreement and the scientist had taken the Coronavirus to Wuhan, China or there could have been a disagreement between governments. It’s extremely interesting that this particular docuseries just came out as the Coronavirus was snowballing into what it is, it is interesting but very suspicious indeed that Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak was released on Wednesday January 22, 2020 and there's an article from The Los Angeles Times titled: A Netflix series predicted a global pandemic. It was dismissed as ‘a show about the flu’. Predictive programming much? Yeah, note the sarcasm ladies and gentlemen! This is a Problem-Reaction-Solution because the government wants to desensitize your mind, the government is not looking out for us and they are only looking out for themselves on how they can depopulate the planet. They've done it with September 11, 2001 by bringing down the Twin Towers killing by blaming the nineteen hijackers or rather Al-Qaeda knowingly it was most likely an inside job. The September 11, 2001 is for another blog for a later time. The government is up to something suspicious and I am not buying into the Coronavirus since the government wants to put in place New World Order as we're being quarantined. Do not expect me to get the vaccine or a chip implanted in my hand that can potentially kill me, no thank you. I would rather die from a gun shot wound to the head than get vaccinated and chipped. Here is a New York Times article that I found intriguing because I do feel that the Chinese government wanted to "silence" this doctor by making seem like he "mysteriously" died from Coronavirus. However, I am not buying into the lies and deception the government tells us. Here's the link for Chinese doctor: Chinese Doctor, Silenced After Warning of Outbreak, Dies From Coronavirus'. Hmmm, word on the street is that this doctor was called a "Whistleblower" and I’m hoping to somehow find a way to communicate with this doctors' spirit through Outer Body Experience. There is a video posted on YouTube in March, however YouTube had deleted this video by Truth Unveiled 777 and the name of this video is: YOUTUBE DELETED THIS VIDEO BECAUSE IT’S THE TRUTH!!! And it’s roughly a half hour long.

"How is it that mercury is not safe for food additives and Over the Counter drug products, but is safe in our vaccines and dental amalgams." ~ Dan Burton

This is going to get real interesting from now until early 2021 and who knows what the future brings. I’ve seen several YouTube videos where these individuals mentioned ‘H.R.6666 - COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act’; and here is an article from The Washington Times titled ‘H.R 6666 a devil of a COVID-19 government surveillance plot.’ I’ve recently watched a video by JonXArmy and this dude warns ‘They are coming to your front door!’; 'I am speechless'; and 'Inflated Numbers! We got scammed!'; 'Things are not always as they seem!" where he speaks of the H.R. 6666 - COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act in They are coming to your front door! video. I believe it was JonXArmy who briefly mentioned this movie: 1984 and I’ve never heard of this movie. I’m not taking this vaccine or accepting the Mark of the Beast. I realize the 1984 movie came out in 1956, long before I was born and the movie was filmed in black and white. There is an article titled: ‘Did the Orwell’s ‘1984’ get lost in the movie?’ It is a crazy time we're living in at the moment and I suppose it's time to get our hands dirty a bit in research. Children don't understand what is going on and it is very heartbreaking that we have to live like this. Oh and let's not forget that this sounds very suspicious that there is a "new" strand of virus called the Kawasaki Disease. Everything sounds very suspicious indeed with how everything came into small events leading to what it is. The government and scientists know that summer is right around the corner so in contrast, the government and scientists want to keep us home even more while they distract us with these "viruses" while they work their magic. I realize that I sound insane but with enough research comes more knowledge and I am not buying into this, nor am I afraid to go out. I have places to go and business to take care of because there isn't enough time in a day to worry about some virus. From my perspective, if people such as Bill Gates and the government are “so” concerned about the general population of the world then why not promote healthcare that works for everyone tailored to everyone’s needs as well as people’s pre-existing health issues; educate people on different types of birth control but not limited to the day after pills; condoms; abortions; however, be stricter about how you raise your sons (makes no sense to be strict with your daughters but baby the shit out of your sons with a pat on the back for every time he gets laid which is why your sons are a bunch of spoiled brats or rather assholes that they are, oh, don’t get angry at me for being honest. Look at the reality around you, you see men raping women and inappropriately touching underage girls that are old enough to be their daughters or sister but get angry when people disrespect their mother, hypocrite much?) and to be better respectable men instead of animals for assholes; and have conversations with your children on the reality of the world. We have to do better and this shit is getting out of hand, common sense (wake up sheeple). Here is an additional reading resource titled: Fact check: Hospitals get paid more if patients listed as COVID-19, on ventilators. Many of the articles listed in this blog are to be read at your own leisure.

”I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apparatus behind it all to push it on us through fear.” ~ Billy Corgan

There is another YouTuber who is one of those conspiracy theorists, A Call For An Uprising and yes, he may come off as a whack job. In contrast, I will let you decide for yourselves and create or rather form your own opinion if necessary. There is a video posted earlier this month titled: 'Share this! This should scare people straight and wake them up...'; ‘EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS! THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS COMING IN 2020...’; '100% PROOF THAT THIS WAS PLANNED IN AN ADVANCE...'; ‘Proof that social distancing has been planned for a long time!'; and 'If you haven't seen this yet then watch it and share it and learn...'. Everything in movies have this predictive programming to dumb people and movies should make you question everything, I mean everything. The one thing that is interesting, the economy did not shut down, people did not wear masks but it was optional at the time, people weren't on lock down or rather quarantined in fear. The economy did not shut when there was the SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome), Bird Flu (also called H5N1, Avian Influenza), Ebola, and MERS - CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome). It's really interesting that there's a movie called ‘5-Feet Apart’ that came out on March 15, 2019 but notice the date from a year ago and the time period this year when many places "closed" down or rather when the economy had shut down due to this fake fearmongering pandemic. Here is a trailer for the movie: ‘5-Feet Apart’ and if you're a bit of a bookworm like myself, ‘5-Feet Apart’ by Rachael Lippincott. Don't believe the hype that the government "tells" you and it's time to rise up and fight back. Not through violence but through a peaceful protest and forget about social distancing! Stand back and look at the bigger agenda. All in all, I will leave you with these last two videos and I hope this blog has somehow opened your mind to the New World Order, Freemasons, Illuminati, the Rockefellers, the Rothschild. Here is a little history for you: Meet the Man Who Started the Illuminati; One Man Exposed the Secrets of the Freemasons. His Disappearance Led to Their Downfall; and Rothschild Family. I'm sure this one particular video has nothing to do with the Coronavirus or the government wanting to take away our freedom, 'The truth about mobile phone and wireless radiation -- Dr. Devra Davis'; and 'Call for Arrest of Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates. Fauci may be part of Syndicate?' As a result, Asians are being targeted for the Coronavirus and it’s not right because I don't condone this type of behavior. As an Asian American, it makes me nervous but then at the same time, I've had people ask me if I'm Puerto Rican, Dominican, Korean, Hawaiian or Filipino. People are somewhat correct and I’m Chinese and Panamanian American but I do have some Filipino from my grandmother's side. My grandparents and both of my uncles on my mother's side are Chinese immigrants from mainland China. Here is an article from Daily News: Man harassed, spat on Asian people, blaming them for coronavirus in series of racist attacks: cops. The one thing that makes my blood boil is hearing white people telling people who don't "look like" them to go back to where we came from and one thing for sure is that I haven't heard any Native Americans telling the white man to go back to Europe and I secretly hope someday white people will have a taste of their own medicine!!! What goes around, goes around and Lady Karma will go after them. They have it coming to them for everything they have done to the Indigenous people since the Indigenous people were here first and I personally do not celebrate Christopher Columbus Day since he was nothing more than a thief who stole land from the Native Americans! However, I am going to give you the freedom to decide for yourselves and draw up your own conclusion on the Coronavirus. Wake up and see what's really going on in the world sheeple! Research is key to survival. I think Arnold Schwarzenegger said it best: "Come with me if you want to live" from 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' and it’s best to do your own research because knowledge is power.

On a final note: At the time of this blog, several YouTube channels are currently active and who knows how much longer the algorithm will hold back the truth on what's going on in the world brainwashing the masses. It's time to wake up people because you're being deceived by the government trickling down to what you watch on the evening news. You can chose to live in denial and trusting the government or you can look at the picture and question everything.

Blessed be,
Jennifer

Compassionate Living

“If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.” ~ Paul McCartney.

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! It's been five years since my blog titled: 'A Foolproof Guide to Vegan or Not to Vegan' and figured I'd update everyone on my decision whether or not if I'd still go vegan in hopes of gradually eliminating meats and diary products from my diet which is still a yes on my end but with some obstacles. I’ve been looking into the health benefits of going vegan or rather plant-based and have been intrigued by the lifestyle. In the beginning, I’ve heard celebrities such as Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Serena Williams, and another athlete doing the 22 day vegan challenge. Which had gotten me very curious on what the health benefits of going vegan if I ever went down that route, and the first book I read about the benefits of a vegan lifestyle was Kathy Freston, I’ve found an article on Vanity Fair titled: ‘The Vegan Monologue’ that you can read at your own leisure! I have two vegetarian cookbooks for the crockpot and a Frugal Vegan: Affordable, Easy & Delicious Vegan Cooking by Katie Koteen and Kate Kasbee. There’s another book I’ve seen on Instagram called ‘Vegan Reset: The 28-Day Plan to Kickstart Your Healthy Lifestyle‘ by Kim-Julie Hansen and I hope to find this book at the Queens Public Library so I can make some meals from the cookbook. I am open to trying something different since I grew up eating meats and I feel like I could use a healthy change. I intend on taking baby steps and begin this journey with Meatless Monday then work my way up to two days then three days then four days and so on with a plant-based diet. The curiosity has gotten the best of me and it’s going to be an interesting journey when I go on social gathering with friends and/or family or even when I go on dates. From the few conversations I’ve had with friends, not many of them are willing to try plant-based for whatever reason they have and I don’t know if it’s fear or pure ignorance of not liking the food or whatever reason, however, I cannot speak for them because it’s not my job to speak for them. I’m open to trying something different. I figured I'd start with this 10 day green smoothie cleanse before taking on the 22-Day Vegan Challenge and see how my experience goes from there. Before anyone asks what my experience was like, my response to your question is every person's experience is different and outcome is much different than the next person. This type may or may not be suitable for everyone's dietary needs or interests and I'm doing this for health, put an end to animal suffering, and for environmental reasons. Before I go on with this blog, I still yet have to try the Delverde - Fusilli with Chickpeas; Delverdi - Penne Rigate with Flax Seeds; and Barilla - Penne: Red Lentil that I had bought from Shop Rite a little over a month ago but I'm open to trying these types of vegan pastas. I'm going to either make some homemade vegan sauce or buy some Barilla sauce from BJ’s Wholesale Club.

-Netflix; Tubi; and YouTube-

“My own view is that being a vegetarian or a vegan is not an end to itself, but a means towards reducing both human and animal suffering and leaving a habitable planet to future generations.” ~ Peter Singer

I've been watching documentaries on both Netflix; Tubi; and YouTube along with other forms of research for this blog. This includes videos on how animals are being slaughtered for food; clothing; leather; and furniture. I’ve found three articles on vegan fashion: Why You Should Care About Vegan Beauty; PETA: These Eco, Vegan-Friendly Clothing Brands Belong In Your Closet; and LA Times: LA’s Vegan Fashion Week Showcases Stylish, Cruelty-free creativity for your own reading leisure. You can see the fear in these animals’ eyes and it’s no joke but I don’t necessarily agree with slaughtering animals for food and clothing. However, if you say that you “love” animals and rescue animals, then what are you putting on your plates at meal time and into your bodies? Hypocrite much? I’m not saying that I agree or disagree on peoples dietary choices and find your own reasons why you’d go plant-based. I personally want to go vegan because I choose vegan for health reasons because I’ve always been a yo-yo dieter and my weight always fluctuates. That’s one of my personal reasons and my second reason is to end animal suffering. Most people would say going vegan/plant-based will be a costly way of life and I’m very skeptical of that statement but I am looking to spend several months looking into it between buying meats verses going plant-based. In my opinion, I think meats are more expensive because you’re paying by the pound and I would have to calculate what I’ve spent when the time comes. In the end, I have noticed the difference between consuming meats and doing the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse. For example: I’ve noticed that I’ve felt meh, sluggish, and lethargic blah each time I’ve consumed meats. I didn't feel as confident whenever I ate meats and I've always felt intimidated in going vegan because I was and still am worried about what people will think if I were to mention it in conversation. With the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, I’ve noticed a remarkable difference with my energy level rising; I honestly felt energetic, light, sexy, and I loved how it made me feel by the end of the ten days!!! You’d have to figure out what works for you and commit to it for as long as possible. I recently bought Raw Sugar: Simply Hand-wash Cold Press Raw Coconut & Mango from Walgreens around my way, so far, I like it and I also like how it makes my hands smell! It gives me that happy feeling. The documentaries I've watched [so far] were: Forks Over Knives; Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret; What the Health; Game Changers on Netflix; and Earthlings on YouTube. I'm still on the search for any interesting reads on the vegan lifestyle and if you’re an athlete, I would highly recommend Game Changers. So far I've read several books on the health benefits of going vegan. So far, I have two vegetarian cookbooks for the crock pot ('Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker'  by Robin Robertson; '125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes' by Judith Finlayson); ‘Frugal Vegan: Affordable, Easy & Delicious Vegan Cooking’ by Katie Koteen and Kate Kasbee of Well Vegan; and ‘10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse: Lose Up to 15 Pounds in 10 Days!’ by JJ Smith. Here are more information on documentaries for you to check out at you own convenience: The 33 Best Vegan Documentaries (Ultimate List); Here Are 8 of the Most Vegan Movies on Netflix; and 4 Things NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT GOING VEGAN - Real + Honest. Here's an additional video I've found on YouTube: Every Argument Against Veganism and I'm the kind of person who would listen to all sides of every argument before drawing my own conclusion.

-Frugal Vegan-

“I got into being vegan because I was simply looking to benefit from being more compassionate. I have since come to learn that it is an animal-based diet that is responsible for the overwhelming majority of cases of cancer, diabetes, obesity, multiple sclerosis, and all kinds of other problems.” ~ Steve-O

Several months ago I had purchased ‘Frugal Vegan: Affordable, Easy & Delicious Vegan Cooking’ by Katie Koteen and Kate Kasbee of Well Vegan at Queens General Hospital. Since having the book, I’ve made Penne with Pumpkin Cream Sauce; Minestrone Soup but didn’t have all of the ingredients for this particular dish, and I’ve also made the Sun-Dried Tomato White Bean Hummus. They came out good and I would make this dish again for Meatless Monday. Next dish I hope to make is a Pineapple Fried Rice dish and I’m a fan of pineapples along with fruits that are naturally sweet but I do enjoy chocolates every once in a while when the mood strikes! In the upcoming months when the economy slowly reopens [if it ever does] from the “novel” Corona virus, I hope to stop by at the Farmers’ Market in Union Square for some fruits and produce but I hope the oranges are just as sweet as the oranges I purchase at this Asian supermarket in Flushing, Queens (not far from the 7 train) because the oranges tastes much sweeter than the oranges I purchase at Key Food around my way. But I do want to provide both reading materials and videos that you can read at your own leisure and view these documentaries during your spare time throughout this blog. I do believe that this will educate those interested in a different way of life and develop a healthier way of eating... Before my stepfather’s death in January, he would always say that no one would eat my vegan cooking and he always acted like I forced him at gun point to eat vegan. Truth be told, he was a narrow minded individual who had zero interest of trying anything different and I hope he’s brought plenty of marshmallows where he’s at. If he had tried the vegan challenge then he’d be off his diabetes and other medications if he had gone down that route. I’m just saying but I’m not a doctor and I can’t worry about what other people do with their health. If you’re also looking to trying some face wash, so far I’ve tried the Pacifica Kale Detox Deep Cleaning Face Wash and I have zero complaints about this product since using it! When I worked at K.F.C/Taco Bell in Little Neck, New York, there was a customer (she was a regular customer with her sister and her dad), she would always order a vegetarian/vegan snacks and after a while she began ordering meats but I thought it was odd. She was saying that she missed eating meats and so far she’s the first person out of a small handful of people that I know of who are vegans that missed eating meats. In a way, this blog ties into Public Assistance Resources because of the Farmers Market link.

-Vegan Documentaries-

“I’m killing two bird at once, so to speak. Animal-based diet food kills people. This way, by going vegan... we get healthy and save animals. I’m being selfish, too, because I can get my employees healthier, we cut down sick days and gain more productivity.” ~ Steve Wynn

Here are several links for what you can watch on Netflix; YouTube; and Tubi TV. It’s a great way to educate yourselves on the vegan lifestyles and it may not be suitable for everyone’s dietary needs. You’ll never know who you’ll meet and enter a relationship with someone who is a vegan/vegetarian, so be as open minded as possible.

• The 33 Best Vegan Documentaries (Unlimited List).
• Forks Over Knives.
• Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret.

• The Invisible Vegan. A must see for those in the African American community.
• Vegan 2019.
• Every Argument Against Veganism.
  
• 4 Things NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT GOING VEGAN - Real + Honest.

-Slaughterhouses-

When I first began doing research on the vegan lifestyle but not limited to reading books and articles online, I've also been watching videos on YouTube regarding slaughterhouses. It breaks my heart having to bear witness to slaughtering of animals. I'm also going to include several videos of how animals are slaughtered for food. Viewer discretion is advised for the following videos!

• How slaughterhouses kill thousands of chickens an hour
• Slaughterhouse. What the meat industry hides. // Documentary film

Blessed be,

Jennifer

The Only NYC Department of Education Resources You Will Ever Need

“If kids have the opportunity to come together to get to know one another, they can judge for themselves who they want their friends to be. All children should have that choice. We, as adults, shouldn’t make those choices for children. That’s how racism starts.” ~ Ruby Bridges.

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. I’ve been researching more resources for parents and teachers alike. And it’s different from my Public Assistance Resources blog in April, I mean, I’ll be providing certain information pertaining to what you need to know from my own personal knowledge. If you have any additional information that I may have missed or overlooked within this blog and feel free to pass that information along at your leisure. As I’m listening to music on Spotify and continuing to search for any additional information so I’m not missing any important information. Since the Corona virus had closed many educational facilities, and as well as non-essential stores/restaurants since March making it a challenge to keep up with your children’s remote learning or finding little odds and ends for financial purposes, which ties into Public Assistance Resources and an upcoming blog about vegan because at some point your children will eventually take up health classes in high school. In a way, when I was attending Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, I honestly didn’t know what a vegetarian or a vegan was in high school up until several years ago when I had found several cookbooks with vegetarian recipes and until the last five years when I began hearing about celebrities going vegan. I’m not going to get too heavily into the topic of veganism, it’s a conversation for another time. Here is a New York Times article on the Coronavirus: New York Times: Coronavirus in N.Y.C.: Latest Updates; and New York Closes Schools Through End of Academic Year to read at your own leisure.

If you have young children and enjoys coloring, I’ve found Coloring Castle and there’s different coloring activities such as Valentines Coloring Pages; Birthday Coloring Pages; Mother’s Day Coloring Pages; State Coloring Pages; and just to name a few. However, there are some educational coloring pages such as: Alphabets; States Coloring Pages; Food Pyramid and everything from this website are printer friendly or you can save them onto your flash drives. Again, you can refer to my previous blog, Public Assistance Resources to check out flash drives from Adorama or B&H and I would stay away from Walgreens, Staples or wherever flash drives are sold. If your dependent(s) have an upcoming [dental or pediatric] appointment or an unexpected trip to City MD: Urgent Care, make sure you have all of the forms that your child’s school sent home early in the academic school year which includes: Child & Adolescent Health Examination Form: NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene; and other documentation on hand but make sure you scan every piece of document onto your Kingston 128gb DataTraveler SE9 G2 USB 3.0 Flash Drive. My best advice is to create a folder for each of your dependents and make sure you put each of these documents in each of their designated folder. Send an email to your dependents teachers with these documents so your dependents teachers (including school nurse) cannot say shit that they’ve “never received” any of these documents and it’s always good to have proof if in the event that these teachers have something to say. Create a folder for your dependents which would include the year for each school semester, for example: if the school year begins in September then put the year (meaning from September 2019 - June 2020) then create ten folders in each of your children’s folders and also scan your children’s report cards per report card term. It’s best to be prepared than under prepared. Also include a scan of Allergies/Anaphylaxis Medication Administration Form: School Year 2020 - 2021; Emergency Contact Card; Child & Adolescent Health Examination Form: NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene; Consent to photograph, film, or videotape a student for non-profit; and Housing Questionnaire to your children’s folder. Another excellent reason to scan your dependents’ Child & Adolescent Health Examination Form is if you are planning to go back to college but your dependents aren’t old enough to stay home alone without ACS - Administration for Child Services making visits to your home and think of it this way, it’s best to make it less stressful for your children’s pediatrician to fill the same form twice. Best to do yourselves a favor by scanning and print a second copy for the college you wish to attend for the upcoming semester.

• Allergies/Anaphylaxis Medication Administration Form: School Year 2020 - 2021
  
• Child & Adolescent Health Examination Form: NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene
• Consent to photograph, film, or videotape a student for non-profit
• Emergency Contact Card
  
• Housing Questionnaire
• Kingston 128gb DataTraveler SE9 G2 USB 3.0 Flash Drive
  

I’ve also found additional forms for IDNYC Middle School Card Application; IDNYC Application For Applicants Ages 10 - 13; RESIDENCY ATTESTATION for Applicant Age 10 -21; NYC DOE Student Verification Consent Form for IDNYC; RESIDENCY LETTER for a Student Enrolled in any Private, Parochial, or NYC DOE School; or a Head Start or Early Learn program; and RESIDENCY LETTER for Student enrolled in a Private or Parochial School you can send to your children’s teachers by email in hopes of them having common sense to print and fill out the forms so you can take your dependents to your local library. Only two Queens Public Libraries are: Central Queens Public Library and Flushing Queens Public Library. I’ve noticed that many grade schools aren’t teaching cursive writing much and I remember learning cursive writing in the fifth grade. Yes, I sadly realize technology has dumbed us down but many people are dependent on technology. I am not 100% sure which other Queens Public Library participates in the IDNYC program and it’s best to contact your local Queens Public Library at your earliest convenience. Links will be provided below for IDNYC applications and similiar forms for legal guardians to fill out. I’ve found a website where parents or guardians can print out pages for their children can learn cursive writing because these children are gonna have to eventually have to sign their names on the dotted line. Here are some websites for printer friendly pages: Cursive Writing Worksheets and Cursive Writing Worksheets to encourage your children to improve their penmanship. Best to be prepared for their future and you’re welcome. I encourage everyone to do their own personal research and let me know if I had missed anything within this blog. To a certain extent, this blog ties into the Public Assistance Resources blog.

• IDNYC Application For Applicants Ages 10 - 13
• RESIDENCY ATTESTATION for Applicant Age 10 - 21
• IDNYC Middle School Card Application
• NYC DOE Student Verification Consent Form for IDNYC
• RESIDENCY LETTER for a Student Enrolled in any Private, Parochial, or NYC DOE School or a Head Start or Early Learn Program
• RESIDENCY LETTER for Student enrolled in a Private or Parochial School
  

 Warm blessings,

Public Assistance Resources

“The biggest and most deadly ‘tax’ rate on the poor comes from a loss of a various welfare state benefits - food stamps, housing subsidies and the like - if their income goes up.” ~ Thomas Sowell

Good morning; afternoon; and evening friends and fans! I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy, and sane, especially those who are parents [regardless of marital status] with young children but I mean that with endearment (yeah right, *Please note the sarcasm*). All links are provided in this blog for easier access to necessary documents to print out but you can view them at your own leisure time. I wanted to provide New York City residents with some resources that I have on my end but to the best of my knowledge for the moment and one that comes to mind is Single Stop because I’ve utilized their services since early 2015 in regards of public housing; filing for my taxes for free (providing if you earn under $54,000 annually) which is called FREE In-Person TAX Preparation; annual Medicaid and SNAP recertification. Single Stop also assist people with applying for both SNAP and Medicaid or Medicare. However, the only resources I am only able to [currently] provide is Single Stop and as well as participating CUNY colleges such as CUNY - LaGuardia Community College and CUNY - Queensborough Community College. Don’t get me wrong, I am aware that there are other resources similar to Single Stop where you’d be able to get everything or get as much done as possible. To me, it’s worth it because I don’t even earn heck of a lot at Staples and especially during tax season where I don’t get to pay anything since it is after all is free in-person tax preparation. I’m not cut out in doing my own taxes since I become easily frustrated and yet impatient but I will give the tax preparers more credit than I will ever give myself in this life. I’m sure there’s people out there that have more confidence in me than I have from within. And come to think of it, I have one more resource for those with children living in the New York City area. It’s the Child Center of New York and they provide services for counseling or even employment opportunities. It’s best to contact Single Stop at your earliest convenience if you’ve felt that you’ve fallen on hard times with putting food on the table or keeping up with the rent, etc. So far, as far as my knowledge are Single Stop; Child Center of New York; and select CUNY Colleges that are actively participating in Single Stop. The rest I would have to research a little more and update this blog or extend this blog into a Public Assistances Part II. If you’re looking to apply for public assistance online, there is also ACCESS - HRA and Fresh EBT and you can also download both apps on your phone as well. Both apps are available on Android and iPhones. Here are several articles I’ve found: AM NY: Here is a list of resources for those struggling during the coronavirus crisis; Daily News: How to stop NYC from starving: A coronavirus crisis imperative; USDA: SNAP benefits up 40 percent; New York Post: Why NYC grocery stores that cater to the rich are struggling amid coronavirus; Daily News: New social distancing efforts coming to NYC farmers markets, as vendors fears a shutdown; and The New York Times: Why Outdoor Farmers’ Markets Matter More Than Ever. Again, feel free to check it out at you own leisure.

-SNAP [Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program] Benefits-

I am going to make an honest suggestion for those who have fallen on hard times in regards of putting food on the table is to apply for SNAP benefits is by making an appointment with Single Stop or through the website ACCESS - HRA, but first, you have two choices of Adorama or B&H: Photo Video Digital Cameras, Photography, Camcorders for flash drives and please do yourself a favor, buy yourself a flash drive such as a Kingston flash drive [in the links provided below] that can stay on your key chain full-time, gather all of your important documents and head to your local Queens Public Library [links are provided below] that have scanners and so far, I only know of four public libraries with scanners. Before you stop by at the library to scan your documents, make sure you have your landlord fill out the Primary Tenant’s Statement Regarding Occupancy of Secondary Tenant and this is when you make your way to the library to scan the documents. There should be considered miscellaneous set of documents but have the last ninety days worth of receipts from when you’ve gone grocery shopping and as well as clothes shopping. I would suggest gather all your receipts from clothes shopping, school supply shopping, if your phone carrier is: Boost Mobile; Total Wireless; T-Mobile; or Verzion [prepaid], visit a Duane Reade, CVS, or a Walgreen’s for a phone card and if you rely on public transportation, save all of your receipts for all three months. Make sure you pay for most or all of your groceries in cash so these people at the food stamp office cannot trace these transactions back to you and every once in a while is acceptable to use a charge card but not too often. On your flash drive, make sure you create a folder titled Public Assistance (all in capital so it’ll be easier to locate for future use); create separate folders to put different documents into each folder for when you’ll need to go into that specific folder for whatever documents you may need. At least have one folder titled Family Documents, meaning within that Public Assistance folder create a folder for yourself, if you’re married then create a separate folder for your spouse, and if you have dependents (children), create individual folders for everyone in your household. Be sure to even include an official transcript from high school, college, and also include at least your high school diploma along with at least two recent report cards from school. Do the same set of documents for you and your spouse and make sure you’ve included everything if in the event that these people at the food stamp office give you a hard time regarding your documents you’ve recently submitted. Let’s hope they’ll have all your documents on file and make sure you’ve scanned every document onto your flash drive as proof in case if your personal information gets lost in the mail. Reason being for individual folders for everyone living with you is because anything could happen within your household, meaning any situation relating to an unexpected death or a divorce then I’m sure you’re not looking to delete all the information you’ve spent time and energy scanning documents then having to start from scratch so to speak. When the time comes to do your annual recertification, make sure you make an appointment with Single Stop so they can properly assist you with your annual recertification for both SNAP and Medicaid. Just follow the guidelines for the documents you’ll need to submit and make sure you’ve scanned any paperwork that you’ve filled out so this way these people at the food stamp office cannot say shit to you that you’ve “never submitted” this document or that document. If you’re receiving SNAP benefits and Medicaid, check out these two articles but I don’t know how legit this is but worth the investigation of it: How To Increase Your Food Stamp Benefits and How to Get Free Government Internet and Laptop. Way I feel about the free laptop and free government internet is for Big Brother to keep tabs on your every move you make but not for your best interest but for themselves.

-SNAP Documents-

• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Documentation Guide!
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) Income Guidelines.
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - CBPP.
• SNAP Application/Recertification - Office of Temporary and Disability!
• Primary Tenant’s Statement Regarding Occupancy of Secondary Tenant!
• W-532 Letter to Past and Present Employer.
• I know this form is used for in Family Court but I’m sure in its own way is useful for when you are submitting documents to the food stamp office. Income and Expenses NYC Family Court.
• It’s a great investment to have a presentation book from Staples to store your personal documents and a spare SNAP application to keep yourself organized. Staples Letter Clear Cover Presentation Book!

-Queens Library-

Here are some links to the four Queens public libraries with scanners. Be mindful that often times that some of these scanners tend to freeze up on you if you catch the scanner on its menstrual cycle so to speak and I know it sounds cheesy. I’ve had that experience before at both Bayside and Windsor where I was in the middle of scanning, the scanner just quits on me.

• Queens Public Library.
• Bayside Public Library.
• Flushing Public Library.
• Fresh Meadows Public Library.
• Windsor Public Library!

-Flash Drives-

Here are several links for flash drives at Adorama and B&H for your earliest convenience. K&M Camera is a third option for when Adorama and B&H are closed early on Fridays and closed on Saturdays (online shopping is available). Contact Adorama and B&H for upcoming holiday hours for any upcoming Jewish holidays. K&M Camera is open on Saturdays and it’s a great way to go shopping for specific photography items such as 35mm film or any other item you need if you need a specific item that same day. If you ask me, these flash drives are worth the investment for yourself and your children. It’s a headache when you’ve misplaced your flash drive and the option is yours to purchase any of these flash drives. If you’re a photographer or a graphic designer then I would highly suggest the Kingston 128gb flash drive.

1. Kingston Technology DataTraveler SE9 G2 32GB Lightweight USB 3.0 Flash Drive for $9.99
2. Kingston 64GB DataTraveler SE9 G2 USB 3.0 for $12.49
3. Kingston 128GB DataTraveler SE9 G2 USB 3.0 for $25.99

Best of luck to those who are looking to apply for public assistance either for someone you know or yourself and your family. Pass this along to anyone needing assistance with groceries and I hope the information is useful. Be safe out there and be healthy. Don’t let the news media scare you because that’s what they do best!

Blessed be,

Jennifer

*Caution: At the time of this blog, there will be items at Adorama or B&H that will no longer be sold at these location in the future. For flash drives, best to have a flash drive to have on your key chain to prevent from misplacing/or losing flash drive.
