a love letter
My wife got sick. She was constantly nervous because of problems at work, personal life, her failures and problems with children.
She has lost 30 pounds and weighed about 90 pounds in her 35 years. She got very skinny, and was constantly crying. She was not a happy woman. She had suffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nerves in her back and ribs.
She did not sleep well, falling asleep only in the morning and got tired very quickly during the day. Our relationship was on the verge of break up.
Her beauty was leaving her somewhere, she had bags under her eyes, she was poking her head, and stopped taking care of herself. She refused to shoot the films and rejected any role.
I lost hope and thought that we’ll get divorced soon…But then I decided to act on it.
After all I’ve got the most beautiful woman on the earth.
She is the idol of more than half of men and women on earth, and I was the one allowed to fall asleep next to her and to hug her shoulders.
I began to pamper her with flowers, kisses and compliments. I surprised her and pleased her every minute. I gave her lots of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public only about her. I incorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in front of her own and our mutual friends.
You won’t believe it, but she blossomed. She became even better than before. She gained weight, was no longer nervous and she loved me even more than ever. I had no clue that she CAN love that much. And then I realized one thing: The woman is the reflection of her man. If you love her to the point of madness, she will become it.“

Beyonce onstage in Las Vegas on Dec. 6 for her 'Mrs. Carter' tour, when a little girl with cancer got her last wish, to dance with Queen Bey.
Beyoncé really is like a queen: She can grant a child's last wish.
"" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;">
Earlier this month, she did it for Taylon Davis, a 12-year-old with an inoperable brain tumor, whose last wish was to dance with Queen Bey. The Make-a-Wish Foundation, which specializes in this sort of thing, swung into action with B's people.
On Dec. 6, at one of B's Mrs. Carter tour concerts in Las Vegas, Taylon got her wish, documented on a video posted to Beyoncé's YouTube page.
Looking thrilled, Taylon is rolled in her wheelchair to a special spot in front of the stage. "I am having so much fun, I can't wait to see Beyoncé," she tells the camera, already dancing in her chair.
Then suddenly, Beyoncé floats down onto the stage on an aerial hoist, as Taylon wiggles in her chair with excitement. Next, the singer sweeps downs from the stage to embrace Taylon and they duet on Love on Top. Then Taylon rises from her chair to dance as Beyoncé launches into the Destiny's Child anthem Survivor.
Afterwards, the child dissolves into happy tears as her mother, Marie, embraces her.

Kim Kardashian shows off Kanye West's Christmas present - a massive Hermes bag painted with nudes27 December 2013 09:31 AMBy Lucy Buckland
Kanye West asked his artist mate to paint a designer leather bag. The results? Um... You tell us
Kim's Kristmas present is certainly unusual...
What do you buy the woman who has everything?
We imagine Kristmas shopping for a Kardashian is hard enough if you aren't Kanye West, so feel sorry for the fellow who had to think of the perfect gift for his missus - while his every move was watched by Kris Jenner the world.
Luckily Kanye has got bucket loads of culture and is incredibly wise, check out this interview where he explains just why he is a better person than we could ever understand, so the Yeezus rapper transcends popping down to Superdrug on Christmas Eve.
So what did he get the love of his life?
One of a kind
Kim showed off her gift with a brisk shopping trip yesterday and we have to say - this Christmas present will certainly get her noticed.
Her rapper fiancée plumped for a one of a kind hand painted George Condo Hermes bag. Contemporary artist Condo has painted the piece directly onto the tan leather bag. His image shows two nude figures with what appears to be a monster in the background.
Big shot Kanye knows the New York-based artist from asking him to create a series of pictures for fifth studio album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - which features a naked Kanye being straddled by a female with no arms.

Former state Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon died Sunday. He was 63.
Gordon drove himself to a hospital Sunday, then died at about 5:30 p.m. His son, Ben, said it appeared his father had a heart attack.
Gordon, a Denver resident and well-known state Democrat, is presently a candidate for secretary of state.
Former Gov. Bill Owens, a Republican, said Sunday night that Gordon rose above partisan politics. "Ken was a good friend and an outstanding lawmaker," Owens said. "Ken was willing to set aside partisanship to do what was best for Colorado."
Doug Dean, director of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, served as the House majority leader when Gordon served as the House minority leader. Their desks were right across the aisle from each other.

"We disagreed on issues, but we almost always got along," Dean said. "When we disagreed, he was always a gentleman, a very pleasant person.
"I'm just so sad to hear this."
Gordon is survived by two children: Wendy, a Denver Public Schools teacher, and Ben, a recent New York University graduate.
Gordon was a lawyer and former public defender who served in the state House of Representatives and the state Senate.
Gordon often attended events with his longtime companion, Betty Lehman.
"Ken was the best thing that ever happened to me besides my son, Eli," she said Sunday night.
His political passion has been to reduce the influence of major contributors in elections and governance.
Gordon was set to run against University of Colorado Regent Joe Neguse for the Democratic nomination in next year's secretary of state's race.
Gordon was born in Detroit in 1950 and attended the University of Michigan from 1967-71, where he studied economics and political science.

paul walker
been a month since Paul Walker's death but the talks surrounding his tragic end continues as his family fights over his $45 million assets. But the latest news shocks the world, reports claimed the actor faked his own death with the help of "Fast" crew according to nodisinfo.com.

Paul Walker, was reported "dead on arrival" in emergency despatch tapes.
His tragic death was mourned by millions but also created a rift in the members of his family as they decide on what to do with his millions. But all these could be an act as the "Fast and Furious" actor allegedly faked his own death according to conspiracy theorists.
Apparently there is a video of Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell, Paul's GF, and Paul's male friends smiling and laughing in glee as they watch the burning the car. The video is a proof that the fiery accident is an elaborate fabrication, and his GF is a collaborator of the hoax.
It seems that Gosnell was caught chuckling and laughing, as what bystanders would presume that she is, "getting away with it." Since the accident needs more extra footage, the video of Paul girlfriend was made available for the public, but no one thoroughly reviewed it.

Photos of Gosnell's reaction about the car crash are in the website documenting her reactions and according to the site, everything is all an act. Even eyewitness Jim Torp was lying when he told Hollywood Life in an interview that Jasmine collapsed when he told her the news.
"Paul's girlfriend was standing next to me when I got the phone call," said Torp to the magazine, adding, "When I told her what happened she fell, she collapsed."
Family Feud
Ex-girlfriend Rebecca McBrain, Meadow Walker's mother, has claimed some of Walker's inheritance which made Paul's family uncomfortable for the claim. As of now, Paul's family are keeping it quiet about McBrain's claim and does not mind to give a certain portion of the asset to Paul's daughter Meadow.
According to reports, Cheryl Walker and Paul Walker Sr. want to control all of his assets because of undisclosed reasons. Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell, Paul's current girlfriend, also claimed some of the money. Jasmine dated Paul for seven years till he met with the accident and maybe that's the reason why she is claiming a portion of the money.
Since Meadow Walker is too young to handle her finances, Paul's parents wants to control Meadow's inheritance from her father. "Meadow is too young to handle that much money," posted Cheryl Walker according to a source in an article by "Liberty Voice."
Meadow recently moved from Hawaii to live with Paul, and according to sources, "He was happier than you can imagine. " Paul was contemplating to spend more time with his daughter before he signed up for another project but it was her that convinced him to do "Fast 7" so she could travel with him.
While his family is fighting over his millions, Walker's fans wants to rename Santa Clarita Hercules Avenue to "Walker Rodas Memorial Parkway." But according to TMZ, residents of Santa Clarita said that Walker didn't do anything for the community. Therefore the street can't be renamed without the support of the residents.
The petition reads: "Wouldn't it be great if we petitioned the Californian Government and local Santa Clarita Council to get Hercules Avenue renamed to Walker/ Rodas Memorial Way ... With an international outpouring of love and support - this might be a nice way for people to continue remembering two amazing men, who died so tragically."

The real birthday of Jesus Christ
Biblical Evidence Shows Jesus Christ Wasn't Born on Dec. 25

Is it even possible that December 25 could be the day of Christ's birth?

History convincingly shows that Dec. 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun.
But is it possible that December 25 could be the day of Christ's birth?
"Lacking any scriptural pointers to Jesus's birthday, early Christian teachers suggested dates all over the calendar. Clement. . . picked November 18. Hippolytus . . . figured Christ must have been born on a Wednesday . . . An anonymous document[,] believed to have been written in North Africa around A.D. 243, placed Jesus's birth on March 28" (Jeffery Sheler, U.S. News & World Report, "In Search of Christmas," Dec. 23, 1996, p. 58).
A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that Dec. 25 is an unlikely date for Christ's birth. Here are two primary reasons:
First, we know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus' birth (Luke 2:7-8
). Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According to Celebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke's account "suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night" (p. 309).
Similarly, The Interpreter's One-Volume Commentary says this passage argues "against the birth [of Christ] occurring on Dec. 25 since the weather would not have permitted" shepherds watching over their flocks in the fields at night.
Second, Jesus' parents came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census (Luke 2:1-4
). Such censuses were not taken in winter, when temperatures often dropped below freezing and roads were in poor condition. Taking a census under such conditions would have been self-defeating.
Given the difficulties and the desire to bring pagans into Christianity, "the important fact then . . . to get clearly into your head is that the fixing of the date as December 25th was a compromise with paganism" (William Walsh, The Story of Santa Klaus, 1970, p. 62).
If Jesus Christ wasn't born on December 25, does the Bible indicate when He was born?
The biblical accounts point to the fall of the year as the most likely time of Jesus' birth, based on the conception and birth of John the Baptist.
Since Elizabeth (John's mother) was in her sixth month of pregnancy when Jesus was conceived (Luke 1:24-36
), we can determine the approximate time of year Jesus was born if we know when John was born. John's father, Zacharias, was a priest serving in the Jerusalem temple during the course of Abijah (Luke 1:5
). Historical calculations indicate this course of service corresponded to June 13-19 in that year ( The Companion Bible, 1974, Appendix 179, p. 200).
It was during this time of temple service that Zacharias learned that he and his wife Elizabeth would have a child (Luke 1:8-13
). After he completed his service and traveled home, Elizabeth conceived (Luke 1:23-24
). Assuming John's conception took place near the end of June, adding nine months brings us to the end of March as the most likely time for John's birth. Adding another six months (the difference in ages between John and Jesus) brings us to the end of September as the likely time of Jesus' birth.
