NUMEROLOGY'S #3 OPTIMISM AND TALK IS CHEAP

Numerology's #3 Universal Day inspires accepting the inevitable and verify the words, "talk is cheap" --- and reminds me that at 76, I've seen optimism shredded when bare truths are spoken. So, seeing naturally beautiful (opposite thinking - untouched supposedly by Joan Rivers surgeon's knife) older ladies applauded in the news - Helen Mirren sexy at 64, Iman softer at 54, white haired, 1950's top model, Miami's Carmen Dell'Orefice still glamour in spike heels at 78, Angelica Huston regal, smart and "for real" at 58, round and sensual, Sofia Loren at 75 still an advertisement for pasta and intellectual, mental-multi-task-er politico, Gloria Steinem make me optimistic. In their honest approach to aging, there's cause for me to remember that "cheap-talk" is often comprised of little white lies that may be inspirational and show a face to the world of mature compromise.

And there are words of promise - It seems that dementia and Alzheimer's is less likely to befall Indians (from India) --- they eat curry. Lotsa' curry. Ti's said by a US researcher that if we add turmeric containing cur-cumin found in curry powder - to our menu twice a week, we'll be less likely to lose it mentally as we age. However, in my experience with numerology Indian clients, they ask a question and I answer it. The question is then rephrased and asked again...again I answer it. You got it! Young or senior...the question is again asked and is answered and there's rarely a look of comprehension or an agreement. There will be phone calls and revisits regarding the same issue. Could the penchant for checking, checking and rechecking and dilly-dallying and not finding a solution or a rule-for-living -the verification of comprehension - can this Indian personalty trait be a result of eating curry too?

In the headlines..."jobless claims fall", Wal-Mart adding 22,000 new jobs and "eating curry may ward off Alzheimer's." The cheap talk comes from Obama-Bashers, pudgy, Russ Limbaugh and a few GOP slim-chance-for-re-election senators whose little wigglers have stopped swimming upstream. Is Obama on a Muslim "Trip?"

Words flow from Palestine and Israel, Muslim Pundits and Saudi Princes and our diplomacy-practicing Pres...and they are many and closely strung. Today's #3 vibes bode that we'll "buy" more expensively, warmed with optimism, and may be snowed, cause "Talk is cheap."

#1 OBAMAS IN #2 SHARED DESTINY MAKE THE WHIITE HOUSE A HOME

This Numerologist assessment of the first 100 days...The smiling-est White House - the most family-friendly White House - the most "lived-in" White House...Our President and First lady turned a sterile, dry, cool, formal, accepting rather than welcoming, atmosphere into the expression of their shared #2 Destiny.

Today's White House has incorporated the #2 Destiny elements of intimacy, cooperation, sensitivity to details, receptivity, gentleness, friendliness, rhythm of life, music, patience, diplomacy, charm, consideration for others and love. In 100 days, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - "1600" - an address that attract aloofness, intellectual curiosity and detachment from emotion...The White House has become a home.

The #2 Destiny foretells a lifetime of learning to share for Michelle and Barack. Time together teaches them to partner and be sensitive to situations that require one partner or the other, to be "the power behind the throne"at times. We're not born knowing what life has to offer. We learn as we live. Married on October 18, 1997, married for over eleven years, Michelle and Barack, with the character and personalities of #1 types, independent achievers, are learning to patiently support one another through the opportunities offered by their #2 Destiny.

We see the Obama's hand-holding, chatting quietly, sharing intimacies and note the facial expressions of pride and warmth when separated during a speech or a presidential event. We read that the president eats breakfast and dinner with his family and relishes his "home office" that gives him the opportunities to share in his children's daily activities. The busy Obama's seem to make time for each other because they've learned the value of cooperative partnership and intimate friendship.

There's no doubt that, in the first 100 days, our #2 Destiny influenced First Family, is showing the nation and the world an example of what cooperation, friendliness and love can bring to the coolest of situations.

IS OBAMA'S "TRUTH-SPEAK" BRASH?

Following President Obama's G20 London appearance and speeches, I thought back to my days as Great Britain's Mirror Group newspapers "American Numerologist" introducing the national lottery. Months of daily articles and pictures and TV, radio and super market openings...I spoke to media and audiences off-the-cuff" a lot. My appearances weren't scripted by the newspaper pundits. They let me have a go at it, create a stir and bashed my "truth-speak" appearances later. I made news. What I said and how i said it was deemed "brash" and "so American." Everyone I met was friendly and approving. Assuming in the American-way, what I saw was what I was getting. I never got it. I never imagined. "What are they really thinking?"

All I did was look people in the eye, be natural and tell the truth. Did I touch anyone? I'm not a "get-into-your-space" type. Neither is Obama as witnessed by his recoiling when being introduced to French President Sarkozy's wife, she leaned in and tried to kiss him. Should Obama have known that that's the way of the French and accepted the smooch and "done the right thing?" The diplomatic way is to make the other guy comfortable...no matter what blunder they commit! Was he rude or brash when he commented he was a married man and didn't do that.

Obama's "truth-speak" of problems between USA and European countries must have caused more reaction than met they eye. That the Queen not only allowed Michelle Obama to put her arm around her waist but reciprocated is proof of the European training and ability to publicly appear pleased when in reality, they are often disdainful of the naivete and lack of veils when with Americans. However, everyone wanted a picture with Obama - he makes news.

Overtly complimentary worldwide dignitaries may be thinking he's naive, brash...rushing change. Europeans have diplomatic layers of showing one face to the world and another in their home office. The new kid on the block, Obama, deserves points for trying to "truth-speak" and save time. Obama wants to bypass the fur boa fluff and get to the solutions. In "truth-speak", Obama got a feather. I wonder, what are they're really thinking?

"Leader of the Free World" Weeds White House Garden

Michelle said, Barach will do his share of weeding...being "Leader of the Free World" will not excuse him. Well, that thought makes me wonder what international or economic garden he won't have time to weed. It's refreshing to have Michelle's down-home- kitchen-table-family-style ideas and attitudes. However, her husband is "The Leader of the Free World"and knowing that he was cleaning out industry's goniffs would make me feel better quickly. Love ya', Michelle, but this is not one of your better ideas.

The White House vegetable garden got off to a slow start. Reported as Michelle's idea originally...now the "eat healthy food, curb obesity and diseases due to poor diet"1,100 square foot vegetable garden is attributed to her CA chef. Does it matter whose idea it is if it sets a good example that catches on with the public?

What's gonna' grow? Whose gonna' take care of it? How many people will it feed? How much will it cost to begin, maintain and grass-cover it in winter? We'll find out - slowly.

One source reports basil, hot peppers, collard greens, spinach and berries. Another claims we're gonna' see mint, corn, squash and beans. And both sources report, there will be two bee hives for the harvesting of honey.

OK! How much of how many things can bee grown in 1,100 square feet of garden? Can this garden accommodate the banquet dining demands and State Dinner eating habits of a formal White House? However, I'm getting used to the idea - slowly.

Till the idea sinks in, I wonder...How many bee keepers does it take to keep bees? Whose gonna' weed the weeds? Maybe this small plot of land is intended to feed only the first family and will not require hiring additional "farmers" and bee keepers...

...and, maybe I'll get used to it slowly. Stocks fell yesterday, but they're up for the week. Investors must be slowly weeding through the dividend-paying stocks and buying.

If we walk up the mountain three steps and only fall back two: One step forward is a very needed stock market gain. Slowly...we'll see other dividends. The multi-tasking President will pull out the weeds in the Stimulus Plan, AIG/Fannie/Freddie bailouts and probably, be a good hubby, pull the weeds in Michelle's White House garden. Good marriages grow slowly. Improvements begin slowly. Getting used to being "Leader of the Free World" sinks in slowly. Everything is "slowly" this year.

STOCKS = BUY 'EM and BOND WITH OBAMA

There's too much going on to focus on one issue on my numerology adviser's #3 "talk up a variety of interest' Personal Day. Investments are all around us - with our investment of faith in President Obama our greatest hope for receiving dividends.

There are good domestic stock buys and worldwide mutual funds paying 3% for long term investment . Octo-Mom's investing in a giant bedroom jacuzzi instead of investing time with her kids and a Chinese researcher invested a long time with the aged and very fat, last Eunuch in an emperor's court, and has a sexy-secrets book in the works that will keep him in kimonos in the long term.

Investigators find that although some .AIG bonus takers have returned their "ill gotten gains", those executives living abroad - outside of the US - refuse paybacks 'cause their money is untouchable; invested in their country of residence. Do I want the return to the days of Bush-Cheney who made no comment on anything except one major topic - terrorism.

Bush couldn't chew gum and walk so, nothing complicated, one-issue news stories that gave the American investor nothing for their long term interest prevailed. Let's hear no more criticisms about Obama's high activity...his diversification of stimulus money for improvements and growth.

This #5 "juggling ten balls in the air everyday" numerology consultant cannot criticize multi-tasking. What's wrong with trying to do it all at once? After the single-issue focus of the Bush-Cheney investment in "terror" that ignored an economy gone wild and put the world in jeopardy for a long term, give Obama a fair short term of using multi-focus while getting his feet wet . Give changing numerology cycles and the new Pres at least his promised 100 days before buying short on faith and selling-out on your long term investment.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

Humming "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from the "Wizard of Oz" cheers and releases my negativism. It's a #3 "talk up the optimism" Universal Day - optimism breeds success - and I'm feelin' it.

A look at the stock market or the job loss count could send me spiraling downward. I'm not looking. Preaching again! Ti's better to take a leaf out of N.Y. Times Columnist, Bob Herbert's reality book and recognize the true situation facing our new president. He needs time to discover which of his electioneering promises can be implemented. He needs time to make adjustments. We need to recognize that he is a thoughtful man - not a "thud", he's not ignoring anything and he'd rather make love not war.

In this deadly and fearful economy, to stay healthy, productive and progress, be optimistic. Make adjustments to maintain and dream and imagine..."What man can conceive, he can achieve." France's, Emile Coue said it years ago when the world was in creative turmoil.

Learning the words to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - humming a few bars of "and the dreams that I dare to dream really do come true" - automatically takes away a frown. Don't put a time limit on your dream: It will materialize. Obama is visualizing a saner reality - we will find a stable reality - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow bluebirds fly. If birds fly over the rainbow, why, why oh why, can't I?" If you believe it...if we believe...if we hang together - all we need patience.
