She is one of those dogs whose life has touched so many, that would couldn't even count if we tried. Her name is Emma Zen and like many fortunate dogs she was adopted from our local animal shelter to keep a human busy. See my name is Debra Jo and my husband had been working out of town and the house was so cold and lonely without him, enter Emma. I was so happy! So happy! I took her to puppy class, dog class, trail school, canine hiking club, bird school, Frisbee games, agility course, draft dog games, therapy training and finally school for stage and film. (Yes I said that.) I purchased collars and leashes, t-shirts and hiking shoes, blankets and personalized sweat shirts and finally a Harley Davidson sidecar. (Yes, I actually said that too.) I was living! Yes, I was finally living! Living that is... with one spoiled dog. My life is about her life and it is about her. I have the luxury and the time to literally spend every single day with my dog. It is the best time I have ever spent in my life.
We celebrated her arrival and had for the first two years have had fantastic birthday dog parties as grand as anything you would throw for your own child. (She is only 2 1/2) and her third Birthday party is already planned. We take her to all family gatherings. She has her own stationary for correspondence. She opens her own gifts at Christmas time. She is an equal family member. Yes, we have a notable individual living in our home and it is our dog!
We have a lot of fun and along the way of trying everything we found three aspect of life that she excelled in. That is the trick to becoming yourself you know, just throwing out everything you are not. Emma is a therapy dog, a canine model and a biker dog extraordinare. She leaves you with the same feelings, that she brings when she comes. I wish more humans were as she is...
Emma Zen belongs to Bright and Beautiful Therapy Inc. and P.A.W.S. Pets Are Wonderful Support a program sponsored by the SPCA. She works with Alzheimer Patience, Convalescent Programs and Special Needs Children. She also participates in promotional events which have included cancer awareness, animal support programs and the Special Olympics. She comes alive at these events. She turns it on! She is not as good at sitting on the sidelines letting someone rub her head as she is standing right next to them and helping them participate. Our little motivator... It's just who she is and it pulls at your heart strings.
And then there is: Emma the Canine Model (or ham whichever you'd like to call her) Her incredible list of training aside she is nothing more than a diva. During Stage training it was said that modeling was the most difficult part of the industry. For a model needs to listen better than an actor. They need to be able to sit or stay for long periods of time (I mean really long periods) and you have to be able to approach them move a nose or a paw and have them stay there looking to the left while the chicken and kids or something you don't expect moves around on the right. Everyone was amazed at her ability and her human never let the cat out of the bag. (Emma was just extremely lazy!) But her photographs have shown up on the internet, advertisement flyers, a calendar, baseball cards, books, a coffee label and a few other places we would have never expected.
In comes the third and final stage, the real and most comfortable of selves, Emma Zen the Canine Ambassador for Biker Dogs! Okay so this story, in and of itself, is a book but the short of it is: leaving her at home was not an option, a side car, lots of traveling and over 10,000 miles under the tail in two years. Plus a wake of smiles and laughter that continue to roll over the human spirit far after she has passed you by. You can't get three blocks from home and fourteen cars have already pulled up to take her picture. She is famous in the hearts of so many people and every now and then these story's catch up with us and we are, as always, forever grateful to be part of this great dogs life.
She has a website and a facebook, a youtube and an a email. She hands out postcards to those that she meets every day. We never leave the house without our dog and we never go anywhere we can't bring her. We do a lot a traveling and she gets to go and sometimes we pick the destinations just for her. I have started talking in "the dog" (sort of like talking in the third person) when replying to all her portals and I have become a member of my dogs life instead of the other way around.
I am most proud of Emma Zen. I am most proud because I see the smiles, I see the tears. I get the emails and the posted comments. I open the snail mail and retrieve the texts. They love her, so many people, they love her. She has done what God wanted us to do here on earth. She has lived with constant devotion to others and always with abundance of compassionate. She is one of those dogs would have touched so many.
My old soul, Emma Zen Chiapuzio.

Hey Gents!

We’ve all been stopped
short when it comes to getting
a date with an attractive woman.

If you’ve ever seen a girl on the
street and you’ve thought, “Man
I’d really like to talk to her,” or
at a restaurant or at a club or
something like that but yet you
didn’t follow through, you didn’t
go up and ask her out, you
didn’t go up and get a phone
number from her…

If you’ve ever found yourself
stopped short when it comes
to dating the attractive woman
that you would like to date I
would like to help you out. And,
if you’ve ever had the courage
to go up and ask out an attractive
woman and it just didn’t work
out I’d like to help you as well.

See, when it comes to
dating women there is a right
way and a wrong way to go about
having the kind of success that
you’re looking for and I’d like to
personally help you become the
kind of man that can naturally
and easily approach extremely
attractive woman, carry on fun
conversations with them, easily
get their phone numbers, feel
very comfortable asking them
out on dates and ultimately
having the kind of relationship
with women that you really
want.

In order to help you out I’ve
decided to have a personal
one-on-one session with as
many of my readers and
subscribers that I can over the
next couple of weeks.

I probably won’t be able to
work with everybody but the
sooner you request this session
the more likely you are to be
able to get on my schedule.
This coaching session is called
the "Confidence with Women
Coaching Session".

During the "Confidence with
Women Coaching Session" we
will work together to…

=> Create a crystal clear vision
for the kind of woman that you’d
like to have in your life and the
kind of relationship you’d like
to have with her

=> We’ll uncover hidden
challenges that may be sabotaging
your success with woman
and dating.

=> You’ll leave the session
renewed, reenergized and
inspired to take consistent
action in your dating and love
life so that you can finally have
the success with woman that
you’ve always wanted.

To get your "Confidence with
Women Coaching Session" today,
simply click reply to this email
and answer the following questions:

1. How long have you been single?
2. On a scale of zero to 10 how
important is it for you to get this
area of your life called relationship
handled once and for all?
3. What do you see as your
biggest challenges with women
and dating?
4. What was your greatest
relationship success to date?

Click reply and be sure to
include your name and phone number
so that someone from our office
can give you a call and get you
scheduled for this special 30 minute
"Confidence with Women Coaching
Session" today.


Until next time...

Yours truly,

Mark Aguirre

October 28th at 6:30 pm Dr. Volker Janssen will be speaking at the Democratic Club of West Orange County meeting. Dr. Janssen will be addressing the issues of prison overcrowding and its antecedents, as well as how that ties-in to our state's current fiscal distress. There is no charge for the event and it is open to the public. For more information: www.dcwoc.org or call Jo Anne Jennings at (714) 846-5201

B-MEN: Beach Men Enjoying Naturism would like to invite all men, age 18 or older, to join us for social events for guys - only in our group, our events are usually nude.

We're a non-sexual club, open to all gay, bi, or straight men who like to let their hair down - all over!

The only thing we do differently from other social groups is that we're a naturist/nudist club, so we usually get naked at our events - But it's no more sexual than a locker room at your local gym.

Periodically we hold pool parties, Jacuzzi soaks, massage trades, movie nights, game nights, and lots of other fun events - Usually we meet 2-3 times per month.

Most of our events are at members private homes, so you won't know the exact address of the place until after you RSVP for the event, as we protect our members' privacy.

We've also held events at other locations, such as a nudist/naturist men's hotel in Palm Springs, a nudist/naturist resort near San Diego called DeAnza Springs, nude beaches like San Onofre, and more.

No male 18 or older is turned away - it doesn't matter if you're fat, skinny, tall, short, have large or small body parts, or are somewhere in-between, you're welcome with us!

If you're shy, no problem - talk to us and we'll help you though it and give you a little time to adjust. Otherwise, expect to get naked soon after arrival.

Sound like fun? -Join us!

You'll find out all about us, including our events calendar at:
http://B-MEN.Org

Be sure to check out our events calendar for the latest on what we're planning!

By the way, we don't care if you're into naturism/nudism full-time or just at our events, even if you've never tried it out before - you're welcome to attend an event.

And unlike some other clubs, we're open to guests & perspective members at ALL of our events, not just once a month or quarter!

You don't have to pledge, and there's no initiation to join! Our members get mailed (US or e-mail) newsletters, membership cards, discounts at our events as well as at some brother club events.

Fraternal Greetings to All from the Hermes Trismegistus Masonic Club and Academy. We are an Independent Association of Free-Masons dedicated to the investigation, study and mastering of the Seven Liberal-Royal Arts and of those Esoteric Sciences (Ancient Mysteries) which constitute the Spiritual, Philosophical, and Intellectual back-bone of the Masonic Order. There are NO DUES required to join our Group, as our sole requisite for membership is that you be a Master Mason duly raised in accordance with our Ancient Traditions. Your official Masonic Rite, Affiliation, and/or Grand Body of Allegiance is IRRELEVANT to us, for we are vehement supporters of and believers in the Universality of F-R-E-E-MASONRY. For more serious information about our Organization and how, when and where to join us, please visit our website at: www.masonicmysteries.org Thank you and may the G:.A:.O:.T:.U:. always guide your steps toward the True Masonic Light!
