dori: My Health Related Goals for 2013 (An ActiveRain Challenge)
- 02/04/13 12:50 AM
My eating habits are really bad. I ate fried foods galore (anything deep fried tasted soooo good!) That was unhealthy eating but my worst eating habit is my sweet tooth. My idea of having a wonderful dessert was a BOWLFUL of vanilla ice cream, smothered with Hershey’s Chocolate syrup, whipped cream and walnuts all over. EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! As each decade passed, I started noticing that I could not eat all these goodies that I used to. Especially when I hit the 50 yr. mark! My metabolism SLOWED…..down. My blood sugar rocketed and cholesterol crept upwards. Other ailments came about …but … (45 comments)

His name is....Brayden These are the instances that make us human in this vast world of blogging. We show a bit of transparency through this network called ActiveRain....and we become the "people...behind the words".
This is my world right now.....

dori: Miracle for an ActiveRain Member
- 04/26/11 11:15 AM
I've always believed that we share more than real estate on ActiveRain. We write about the industry or our related fields, our local areas and events, tips for the consumer and our peers, history and even a bit of our personal lives. We do so with the intent of sharing a piece of ourselves so that the consumer can better relate to the person who is behind the written word. We have a thought or an idea and we articulately write so that our readers can 'feel' the kind of person we are. Those that know me know that I am … (35 comments)
dori: December 07, 1941 -The Bombing of Pearl Harbor | Memories from My Mother and Her Grandaughters' Discoveries
- 12/07/10 05:27 AM
My Japanese ancestry and background as a Hawaii resident (since 1967) is pretty interesting. My mother was born and raised on the island of Kauai and she was one of 8 siblings born into an ‘arranged' marriage with my grandmother being a "picture bride" and my grandfather being born and raised in Japan. In 1936 my grandfather passed away from stomach cancer and my grandmother raised the children with my older aunties helping with the younger ones. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941, many Japanese were put in the internment camps. My Mom met my … (18 comments)

dori: A Wonderful Change With A Spring Fresh Future!
- 03/29/09 08:09 AM
There comes a time in ones life when a person knows they need to change something so their lives can be more enriched and meaningful. There comes a time in a mother's life when all they hope, wish and care about is for their children to be happy. People change in their own good time. They do not change if they do not want to and they do not change for anyone but themselves. That's when it works. Circumstances and situations give a person permission to keep doing the same things over, to stay in unhealthy relationships and continue to beat ones self esteem down. … (60 comments)
