About Me:

I love the company of writers whether they are from the real or virtual world.

I am a community organizer doing freelance writing online and offline. My website"http://www.self-esteemandcommunityorganizing.com" keeps my thoughts and reflections on how poor communities work hard to reclaim their self-esteem and collective power.

I write poetry and feel good writing poems at hubpages.com

I write on diverse topics anchored on society, peace and the environment.

Here's a poem on "listening" which I wrote many years ago.

I hope you'll enjoy reading my page.

I had an asthma attack last ight but I wasn't afraid because I just tapped along until my asthma subsided.
by Valiente in Health & Nutrition > Mental Health
I use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for self-healing. This technique worked for me. I am not worried anymore about migraine and asthma attacks because as soon as I suspect an attack, I do my EFT tapping. What I learned is that EFT is accupuncture without the needles.
Wellness at 60 something
by Valiente in Health & Nutrition > Mental Health
Everybody knows the fact that wellness is a state of mind. But the drug companies would not let us embrace this fact. My impression about drug companies is that they would rather go with the curative concept than with the preventive approach to wellness. This article is about achieving wellness at 60 through mind power.
Society is so focused on the seasons of youth
by Valiente in Culture & Society > Science
This article is a musing on the value of aging as opposed to the "youth mania."Society, in general, seems to have relented to the exaggerated focus on the young as if life's seasons have suddenly converged on the young. For society to flow like a pristine river, people need to develop a sense of balance about their views.
Healthy knees and other joints after 40
by Valiente in Health & Nutrition > Mental Health
In 1994 my knees were strong and my dreams were wild. Every Monday, I would walk seven kilometers from the national highway to foothill villages of Mt. Banahaw. I loved the roadside with its gifts every early morning trek. Now my knees and other joints need a little kindness from predators of all types. Among the predators is time.
