Health, Wealth and Happiness

   I’m Rick Emmerich, in Salt Lake City with Dr. Malia.  It’s her first

time and my 5th, I believe.  Liv International is partnering with the

health conscious, healers, and regular people concerned with their

health.  Everyone I have met truly cares about the health and wealth

of others and this company does seem unique in that respect.

   This is the kickoff, and for a company that was previously known for

its weight loss products mainly, this re-branding that has taken place is a

real breath of fresh air, (like the cool blasts coming off the Wasatch Moun-

tains to keep these Hawaiian visitors chilled.)

   We look forward to the last day of the “Liftoff” Sat, and wonder what

else can they throw our way.  A well-known author and motivational

speaker, a top nutritional expert, the co-founder and product formulator,

Jeff Tuttle, Glenna Delisle-company spark plug and inspirer and a fired up

Spud buster from Idaho named Austin have all kept us in stitches, tears,

wonderment and just on the edge of our seats.  Austin won a lease on a

Black BMW for some dedicated and inspired work these last 4 months or so.

   You know how so many people are concerned about their health?

We can help.

   You know how many, if not most people want to have their own busi-

ness, or another income stream?  Dr. Malia and Rick Emmerich can help

with that.

   You know how many appreciate the blast it is to run around in stretch

limos and eat at a fancy dinner free-on the company!  That was us tonite.

Obama’s roommate speaks out. dh 02-16-11

FOR HIM AND HOPE

This needs to be emailed to everyone in the USA.

OBAMA’S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010

Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.

To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.

Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate

(Columbia University, class of ‘83).

He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.

Look at his Czars…anti-business..anti- american.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.

Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming.

Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn

the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority

that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted

on to always vote for bigger government.

Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health

care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and

health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).

Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans

will add trillions to the national debt.

What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government .
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill

in the middle of a depression?

Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.

It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.

They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to

Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars,
bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”

Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state?
Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government
entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?

Certainly not American taxpayers.
But this has been Barack Hussien Obama’s plan all along.

His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.

Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America.
But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted
on to support big government.
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and
eventually Social Security .

Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?

It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.

It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could
keep paying union dues.

It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out

(after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).

A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).

All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their
bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America.

The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.

The ends justify the means.

Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job
creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers,

redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did

nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).

Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.

Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama

using the Cloward and Piven Plan .

True per snopes!

Just passing this on, I have seen some of it before, but
I feel this sort of info needs to see the light of day.

   He was passing on the perfectly proportioned ‘Penny’s Papaya Passion.’  What looked like an old man brunch is a culinary work of art, but you would not know it from the plain menu.  As a matter of fact, it was Kona Rick’s suggestion that gave the dish its name.

   Kona sipped pure Kona coffee from the perch overlooking Kealakekua Bay in the distance.  In fact, a look down and to the right reveals the trees that yield this berry brew.  He’s secretly researching the carrot cake recipe-convinced that the item is on the tip of his tongue.  (Kona had connections to some big carrot cake fanciers from the East Coast.  For years they have been after the complete recipe to offset the high cost of shipping from Kona.)

   By the way, Big Jake the owner is not suspicious of Kona’s motives.

   “I’ll take the Cobb Salad, and a little more…” with a smile and a wiggle of the coffee cup.”

   This is the kind of place where secret negotiations go on in public.  There’s no frou frou fancy drinks here, no posse, no dogs in purses.  Your agent WON’T call my people.  Quite often the locals and the tourists entertain big time coffee buyers, and international ‘persons of interest’ without a clue.

   There’s a rumor that a very larger Sumo Wrestler type guarded the backroom one time in ’99 as negotiations involving a zebra and a helicopter.  The animal and the helicopter came in on a ship late one evening to Kawaihae harbor.  The coffee was hauled out that same day in a bunch of suitcase and duffle bags.  Other packages were shipped out over the following weeks.  The leader of a small island republic really liked that same coffee that I was drinking today.

   This brew is a salt of the earth specialty that much of the world has not experienced …yet.  Anyway, as Alyssa brought the famous Cobb creation, and the clear view became ever-so-foggy due to the vog, our hero felt the caffeine kicking in, just as his vision seemed to gain focus.

   “This is gonna be a great day…”

TO BE CONTINUED

I’m the I Got a Guy Guy.  Not the original, of course.  But the new I Got a Guy Guy.  The original was Tommy, an Italian guy in Chicago.  Everyone in his family and neighborhood knew he could get something or someone when you were in need.

Another famous I Got a Guy Guy was Radar in M.A.S.H.  Lost a couple of you didn’t I?.  (Tommy was cooler.)

If you needed cable TV, He had a guy.  Want a dish, He had a guy.  Want to know how to rub a steak just right before you grilled it.  He was the guy.

And, when it started snowing in Chicago, He WAS the guy.  He was the one that told the snowplows where to go.  He routed them up and down the streets of the Windy City until the snow was removed.  He was the first one there and often, turned offf the lights when he left.  You could count on Tommy.

I can’t be as good as Tommy.  His legend lives on.  But I am a sorta hybrid I Got a Guy Guy.  I can do some things.  Now, I really want to share that if I don’t know something, or I DON’T got a guy-I will tell you.

But if you want a good restaurant in Honolulu, I got a guy.  You want to hear a story about that lost decade from 1975 to 1985, I can tell a few (true) stories.

Would you like to weigh less?  Alkalize your body, Detox?  Find a natural, healthy replacement for Viagra?  That’s me.  http://www.LivGreenHawaii.com

Lower your golf score, not so much.  Find a golf course on Oahu, THAT I can do.

You need a colonic, or a massage, or some earthworms, or some baby lion-eared bunnies, I got a guy-or gal.

Need a Chiropractor, my wife is the best (Holistic Chiropractic.)  See Dr. Malia/call 808 596-4853.  Honolulu, HI.

Want to get paid to play the Lottery?  Me again.  http://www.LotteryInHawaii.com

Go ahead, put me to the test.  Rick Emmerich

Thank God I have my wife, my God, my cats, my blog, my health, family, the weather here in paradise and my career.  I wish you all love, peace and happiness at this time of year, AND thought you might like this.

All the Best in 2010, and as I do, take some time to just breathe, relax, sleep some and get ready for a hot 2010.  Rick Emmerich

   Thank God I had a heart attack.  It changed my life, and I have a life now, of immeasureable gratitude.  My goal is to be grateful every day and express that to God and to others.  This arena helps, of course.

   Whati is your Thank God experience?  What can you add at the end of that little phrase that is real for you and you can share with the world?  John Demarrtin ihas taken me through the Breakthrough Experience several times where we ‘confront’ and process situations in our lives that were challenging and that shaped our current situation.

   Many are not pretty.  Many of us became victims, and were quite ready to tell eveyone how bad the world was treating us.  I could see and sense my impoending doom and ‘knew’ that my health was in danger 5 years ago.  It took the heart attack to shock me into change.  Now, I am not 100% where I want to be.  I am a work in progress for sure.  But lots has happened, and Lots CAN happen when we get disatisfied with where we have brought our lives.

   Go from Victim to Victor.  John’s books share his teachings and his magnificent and intense Breatkthrough Weekends may be coming to a metropolitan area near you.; He loves to come to Honolulu, but it’s not what you think, or what I had thoought.  Since his mission or purpose it to travel the world speaking to as many as possible and to get paid handsomel;y for it, this guy never seems to enjoy the scenery when he’s here. It’s work work work.

   But that’s his passion.  What is yours?  Or what would it be if you could do anything you wanted?

   Thank God I is a community of like-minded people and authors, (not that we have any non-people authors.)  Anyone can visit and I especially urge those who have the talent to write to share your experiences.  Heck, you may even be a part of a book one of these days.  John Castagnini, the founder of Thank God I (no relation to John Demartini has the passion to share this project and help empower others and enlighten thousands in the process.

   Npw this is not the right place to give you an in-depth sudy of Dr. John’s techings, it’s much too small to do them justice.  Nor have I devoted enough time to really tell about Thank God I, but you can research both, and I recommend that.  John says a few things that I repeat often and here they are;  “I am perfect the way I am”  “Whoever I am and what ever I have done, I am worthy of love.”  (I may have paraphrased that one.)  “I do what I love, and I love what I do”

   The idea is that we can stand up and scream “Thank God I” and then fill in the blank with that terrible thing that happened, the pain that we have had for years, or the situation tha was up-til now holding us back.

   If you are intrigued, go to http://www.thankgodi.com/184.html   In early 2010 Thank God I will have our 3rd book on the shelves and I expect to be one of the authors.  Also some previews are at http://rickemmerich.com

  2.      What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

  5.   You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

And anyone who thinks otherwise, SHAME ON YOU!!!

Now, to those that supported Obama, like I did, I suggest we take a real close look at his ‘teachings’ and ideals.  Are they going to work?  I don’t know.  I think we need and needed change, but I am cautiously pessimistic about his actions.  So, let’s see,    rick emmerich

Make money without selling anything.

Just sign up and the checks start rolling in.

The newest, best, most exotic, highest this or that value.

Make a check in one week.

We ALL have heard those, right?  I’m no different, I get ‘em every week at least.  For those that are serious network marketers, I guess, just get used to it.  The newest next best thing comes out every 4 or 5 days, like clockwork.

There ARE ways to assess if you have a good thing going.  Obviously, if you are getting fat checks every month, you know you are in the right place.  I mean, I DON’T get in something only for the money, but the reason I feel, to be involved is to get rewarded for your efforts, and others’.

So, one of my bits of wisdom is to find a product/company that you love, and look at the pillars that form the foundation of the business.  They should have a comp plan that allows the heavy hitters to make big bucks, but also, allows those starting up to get to levels easily enough to start drawing checks.

Hopefully, your product is high quality and is consumable.  In other words, to paraphrase Richard DeVos of Amway fame:  You use it and and use it up, it eventually goes down the plumbing and you need more.  I would stress that it needs to be something the you CAN’T just go to Target and buy (for cheaper?)

Ideally you have what is called a categtory-creator and those are few and very far between.  Often, it’s another juice, or a nutritional product that you will need to have faith in, until it starts working-or doesn’t.

Guess what then.  You have to put some work into the process.  I have been blessed enough to have the perfect upline in my business.  He can’t wait to serve and work with my downline distributors.  You then have to get on national calls, and have a mentor, or mentors.

I would like to impress upon you the necessity to get ready to work NOW, because for you networkers, there is no time like the present.

If you are interested in creating a secondary income with products that are unique, not sold in stores and that WORK, get back to me.  Or go to http://www.LivGreenHawaii.com

“Lanikai Oh Lanikai”, sung to the tune of Galveston, by Glenn Campbell.

It’s unbelievable here.  It’s now 2 AM and I am typing this in my loft office as the breezes dominate the sounds outside, rather than the old H-1 and 16th Ave. noises my wife and I were used to.  Around 11PM and sometimes midnight every night, it seemed there would be the extreme blasts of the fast cars or motorcycles on H-1.  I figured it was the exact time of shift change for HPD.

Honolulu seems like a distant memory to me already.

None of that here.  I guess the mansion next door has automatic sprinklers, cuz they just kicked in.  My wife would think it was raining.

For those of you who don’t know Lanikai, stick around.  When we were first offered the chance to stay here for a short while, I told Malia NO, and went over the list of reasons, so matter-of-factly, so logically.  I was Ben Franklin, with the legal pad with the pros and the right and the cons on the left.  By the way that method is over-rated, we all know we can manipulate the process. 

Anyway, like many things, talking about Lanikai Beach, connected to Kailua Beach, is just NOT good enough.  It has to be experienced.  You could notice, some night in the area, how extravagant the moon and stars look through the tops of the palm trees, but chances are you’d miss it. 

You could ‘luck out’ and catch a photo with the fading available light as the sun dips behind the mountain here.  You know, it is more of a hill, but mountain sounds good, doesn’t it?

You may catch a nice picture of the Mokes, (the Mokulua Islands), but not really ‘get it.’

There is really nothing like the daily “hey, I’m on vacation” feel here.  It is incredible to catch the various shades of shadowy light in the evening and snap as many ‘perfect’ pics as you want.  And I can’t wait to catch another unique sunrise from behind the Mokes.  In 3 more hours….ouch.

The beach is slowly eroding or disappearing….choose your word.  Even knowing that, it remains one  of God’s masterpieces.  It is great to join the tourists on the beach and just chill.  No one will bother you, and this whole area is filled with athletic or not-so-athletic types that are always jogging, swimming, boarding or paddling.

Our time here may be limited.  If this is heaven, God, I DO want to stay here forever.  Just wanted to get THAT out there.  We are so blessed.  Thank God I married wisely….. 

Of course I will show pics soon.  But give me a minute, we just got the computer set up today.  So it’s me and the cats off to bed for now…………aloha 

No we weren’t hypnotized, no Dragonfly Ranch, and we didn’t fly over the stinking volcano either….

We just got back from our visit to the Big Island, and we DID get some things done. It was a kind of a second honeymoon, and we did the things that honeymooners do.  We also stayed in a villa in the Hilton Waikoloa area, and we liked the place so much we bought it!  Fractionally, of course.

For those that don’t care about that part here are some of the more interesting parts.

The vog (volcanic fog) was out and for that reason and just the time factor, we did not venture over to the places we wanted to see near the volcano.  It obscured the views we would normally have.

We strolled around the Hilton Waikoloa grounds and talked to the dolphin trainer on duty.  They just had a calf (the dolphins did) and the trainers were taking turns pulling the night-watch shift.  Of course on the grounds you will see a rhinocerous and horses and a Buddha-all statues.  In the parking lots there are a lot of cats, presumably waiting for handouts.

As is common in Hawaii we saw a mongoose, and then, up north we saw, and interacted with, some horses, the real live kind.  Then, down south we saw a zebra, yeah really brah, and two longhorn steer.  They looked contented, obviously all out of their ‘normal’ territories.  It was so unusual for me, that I was walking around trying to get better camera angles, and even somehow thinking they could have been fakes.  I mean some old hippie artist could have had a field day painting the stripes on that horse to make him a zebra.  I’m pretty sure that it WAS real, (he had zebra ears) and I will have the picture to show it-soon.

Also, as we ventured down a steep incline toward a marina, and then  headed back, we ran into a family of turkeys that really had no intention of sharing their road with our rental car.  I did NOT actually ‘run into them.’

The real excitement was, as we crammed too many activities into the last day was that we almost ran out of gas.  Some places had gas pumps as we headed south out of Kona, and after a while, I realized that the gas pumps were no more.  In fact houses for the most part, were no more.  Off to the left was lava, and off to the right was a sometimes very steep decline to the Pacific Ocean.

Well we slowed a little, coasted some down hills, turned of the air conditioner and prayed.  My wife was a little stressed, and I went through all the possibilities in my head should we have to coast to a stop amidst the moon-like terrain.  They all involved hitch-hiking and missing our flight home.

Then we saw it!  The last gas station for another 8 miles, at least.  We refuled, bought some Pringles, and turned around, admitting defeat to our plan to make it to South Point, the apropriately named southern most point in the US.  For those of you who are thinking Key West, that’s the continental US.

We headed back and stopped briefly for some Kona coffee, and some Key Lime pie.  How could you not?  The bonus there was the beautiful view (even with the vog) of Kealakekua Bay.  We were in a wooden structure teetering over the cliff.  Please remind me not to be THERE when the next earthquake hits.

All in all a great trip.  I will talk about some of the natural wonders next blog…..rick
