Second look on Human Evolution

While studying human evolution this semester -honestly, at the back of my mind, it just makes sense! Well, it wasn't like that before!

I had to set my judgements aside in high school - well, it was more setting my memory into amnesia mode, because it just didn't make sense or maybe I wasn't ready to know the truth...

Well, fast forward to this day... and reading what Pope Francis' statements about it - confirmed what I am relearning now.

Closer to Home

What's with the name? 

Well, it is used for identification purposes, right? But, do you know that in many cultures, they believe that a person's name provides a clue as to the life he/she will lead? 

I guess, that's why in the Philippines most girl's names have Mary or Maria or Marie so they will forever be connected to our Mother Mary, and hopefully emulate her values.

My family and relatives call me Gigi. When I went to school, my teachers and classmates called me by my second name, Gemma. My first name is really Maria, yes, I will forever be grateful I am connected to Mama Mary. To differentiate one Maria to another, we are called by our second names instead.

It was when I introduced myself to my co-teachers in New Orleans, Louisiana - to the first school I was assigned to teach and I told them my name, Gemma, I had to say it a few times, and they still couldn't pronounce it! Oh well, I told them to call me Maria instead, and easily they responded. From 2007 on I was Maria to my co-workers, credit card companies, and all of the succeeding documents I had to sign.

And then this year, for some beautiful reason.... I joined the Public Education Department of the state of New Mexico. In the federal program that I am coordinating, there were two Marias and one Mario. My boss said there was too many Marias in our bureau so I might as well use my second name, Gemma. Nice!

So now, I had to reintroduce myself and let everybody get use to calling me by the name, Gemma. 

Funny, when I told them my nickname is Gigi, they were like, "Oh I like it too!"

We all have our preferences by how we want our names pronounced, how we want to be called and addressed.

In my lifetime, I guess I just never thought I'll be using all my names, but I did! Never mind the pronunciation or the accent. It's still me!

Even with the name changes, I was able to keep who I really am, deep down.

Although sometimes, the Maria isn't the Gemma I used to be. Maria seemed so quiet, serious, and "nose bleeding" all the time! Lol..., Gemma is more the real thing! Lol.

I am not sure about life's path and its connection to my name though... but it feels really good to be back to Gemma now. I feel closer to home!

Finding Time for Time Outs

https://arebel4christ.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/w-5714fp.jpg

I have been stuck for a couple of weeks now.  Stuck because I can’t get myself to do some action when I should be!

Maybe, I was having my post-no-summer-syndrome, so I feel like I owe myself some time out.

The best of me would have everybody out of my sight because I will watch a movie. They are of course, free to join me, but my mind was so concentrated on just watching. All else, I am not doing.

For the first time since 2005, I have not had my two months summer break!

Flax Seeds and Chia Seeds What A Powerful Combination!

When my blood pressure shoot up....

I could even feel my veins throbbing on my side forehead!!!

It was scary....

I knew something needs to change!

So I did!

These products helped me in the process....



Flaxseeds (also called linseeds) are a rich source of micronutrients, dietary fiber, manganese, vitamin B1, and the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, also known as ALA or omega-3. The seeds come from flax, one of the oldest fiber crops in the world - known to have been cultivated in ancient Egypt and China.

Flaxseed is a source of healthy fat, antioxidants, and fiber; modern research has found evidence to suggest that flaxseed can also help lower the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

I usually add it to my fruit and vegetable smoothies! 

With the flax seed powder, I also add chia seeds!

 

Why Chia Seeds?

• Chia seeds pack in more omega-3 than salmon, and 3 times the fiber found in one slice of whole wheat bread
• Chia is a complete source of vegan protein, featuring 2 grams per tablespoon
• With 50% more antioxidants than a serving of blueberries, chia seeds may also help ward off inflammation
• The fiber content in chia seeds - 5 grams per tablespoon - swells when soaked in water, causing a full feeling that may also support weight loss and healthy blood sugar levels

These two are powerful mix!
