A Tool Box Analogy for Practicing Good Health

by C. Henry Adams


An analogy within this particular blog is described as a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification.  

When one thinks of a tool box full of tools, it is often perceived as a case that have devices that carry various functions to settle a contentious matter.

Perhaps, by implementing a function with a gadget, one solves a problem or at least come within proximity of resolving an issue.  

Thus, such utensils could prove useful in the present or future, if properly implemented.

Now, in life there are many variables, uncertainties, risks and propagation.

The health particularly in this case of a person varies per individual.  Perhaps, many uncertainties, risks and the propagation of disease are real underlying factors.

Science is define as intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

So, for a moment let's imagine that an aid was created utilizing science to resolve a problem.  Let's take a step further and examine the fact that certain biological plants or organisms properly utilized could also provide very useful assistance in eliminating health complications.

Question: Ok, so where are we going with this discussion?   Answer:  Inspire one to create a tool box of items that could assist in practicing good health.

Yes, a 1st Aid Kit is a great example of such a unique tool box of discussion.   But, what could be better?

The answer in bullet points:

*  Educate, research & grasp an understanding of what natural organisms or plants could be beneficial to your health.

*  Always consult your doctor or physician before utilizing man-made products, natural organisms or plants.


*  Echinacea could be a great tool to assist one's immune system in maintaining good health.
    There are at least (3) known types:    Echinacea purpurea, Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea pallida

*  Eucalyptus could be beneficial for respiratory related illness.  There are over 600 species of Eucalyptus, however, at least (3) three known types help with breathing:
   

1. Eucalyptus Globulus (Blue Gum Eucalyptus) The classic eucalyptus inspires deep breathing with its foresty, vaporous, camphor-like aroma. ...
2. Eucalyptus Radiata (Narrow-Leaved Eucalyptus) ...
3. Eucalyptus Citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus)

As a result of the aforementioned species of Eucalyptus, perhaps, the following products could be of assistance below:

  a) Vick's Vapor Rub or it's generic brand could be a helpful tool.
  b) Cepacol Oral Rinse could be a helpful tool.
  c) Cepacol Cough Drops could be a helpful tool.


Well, these are our thoughts, what say you?

' Heaven Bound ' - a Great Past-time / Fundraiser for nearly 9 Decades

by C. Henry Adams

On February 17th 1930 - Big Bethel A.M.E. Church 1st debut ' Heaven Bound ' an African American Folk Drama conceptualized by Lula B. Jones & written by Nellie L. Davis of this World Famous & Renown Church.

The original purpose of the event or past-time was to raise money for an organization reeling from the Great Depression to say the very least.

As a Christian who believes in prayer, I would like to think in my professional opinion that prayers reaching back to the descendants of slaves, many nationalities, creeds, races & status over 9 decades established this annual occasion for 89 years, thus far.

To grasp a great impression of this instance in time, I took a seat on Wednesday Night of November 6th 2019 at its final rehearsal.

Needless to say while listening to melodious nature of music, my tough military exterior & spirit was moved when tears start flowing from the eyes.

Fore, I recalled my late Mother ( Emma KS Adams ) singing old hymnals in the kitchen while preparing a meal.

Thus, it was when I realized that my purpose for being there was no coincidence.

As I quietly sat listening to the Director, Author & Attorney - Gregory D. Coleman, an example of one of those extraordinary people, I often wrote about in previous blogs; I was encouraged.

Then, while in awe, I observed a cast of multiple generations of People.  Ages that range from the teenage years to the 70's.

Curious to learn more regarding ' Heaven Bound '; the next day, I called my Mentor Mother, Dr. Nellie Adams ( not related ).  Having been a member of Big Bethel A.M.E. Church since childhood; she was the ideal Subject Matter Expert (SME).

She revealed the evolution of this historical musical when she stated there are two versions of the appearance. 

1) On Friday,  November 8th 2019, the Traditional Version of  ' Heaven Bound ' will be presented.  

2) On  Saturday Night November 9th 2019, the Contemporary Version  of  ' Heaven Bound ' will appear.

Where:  Big Bethel A.M.E. Church
              220 Auburn Ave NE,
              Atlanta, GA 30303  USA
              (404) 827-9707

When again?   Friday,  November 8th 2019   &   Saturday,  Night November 9th 2019

What time?  7:00 pm EST

Admission:  $15.00 USD

An Angel Said, ' No One Cares For You Is A Lie '

by C. Henry Adams


One night during a troubling season in my life, I awaken from my sleep to realize the sayings of an Angel.

" No one cares for you is a lie.  Why do I say these things and what proof do we (Other Angels) possess?

Perhaps, if you are a Believer in God and have gathered with other Believers to pray for those people unknown to you all, it was proof of caring.

As you go through daily struggles, financial mishaps, health issues all throughout life -

Know that - someone, somewhere, somehow prayed that your very soul will overcome ill will, poverty,  bad health of all kinds, as well as, many misfortunes of any kind.

Yet, to receive these blessings, that fall from the heavens; you must continue to believe regardless of how weary you become in life. 

Be encourage, now Go Encourage Others Liken Unto You!  Amen. "

Review of TEDx Collier Heights at Frederick Douglass H. S. Atlanta, Georgia

by C. Henry Adams


Key:  FDHS -  Frederick Douglass High School

On Saturday, August 17th 2019,  I step back into time and walked from the H.E. Holmes MARTA Station to the High School that I became a graduate about 30 years ago in my modern day village of Collier Heights located in Atlanta, Georgia USA.

Amazed of how a 'No Windows'  Institution had transformed into the appearance of a small college  'With Windows' today, I was impressed with Frederick Douglass High School (FDHS).

Still even more impressing was when I entered the Dr. Lester W. Butts Auditorium for the first time to experience ' TEDX Collier Heights '.

It was a honor to see the Director of the Atlanta Preservation Center serving Guests in the lobby along with a diverse group of educated individuals awaiting to enter the Auditorium.

At first glance, when I heard of the length of the program, I realized that I could not stay.  However, prior to leaving,  Odie Donald (FDHS Alumni) - Manager of  ' City of South Fulton ' ,  Dr. Nicole Garner - Financial Consultant, Dr, taj anwar baoll - Medical Professional, and Zak Wallace - Songwriter & Restaurant Owner greatly lifted my spirits.

I was enthralled, flabbergasted and motivated as I left early.  I encountered Ann Hill-Bond - Curator in my attempt to sneak out and gave her a hug while saying, ' Outstanding Ann '.

Having not the opportunity to see the completion of the event, I believe it was successful in showing proof that ' Atlanta Influences Everything  '.

Well, these are our thoughts, what say you?

The History of Collier Heights

by C. Henry Adams





My parents (Marion Lewis Adams, Sr. & Emma King Smith Adams) taught me to learn from whence you come from to know where you are going.  (Or)  If you make four turns to the right or left while traveling in unfamiliar places or circumstances; it is likely you will complete a circle.

So, with great understanding of simplicity - Life is a Circle.

From the 1830's to 2019, we will briefly identify the History of Collier Heights area.  Note: The Collier Heights Community was proposed and implemented during the 51st tenure of City of Atlanta's Mayor William Berry Hartsfield while in office from 1941- 1961.

Utilizing Interstate 20 and Interstate 285 to create quadrants; the entire Collier Heights Community landscape is outline.  From left to right, starting with Quadrant 4 (Carroll Heights Neighborhood), the community extends to Quadrant 1 ( H. E. Holmes Drive).  From right to left (bottom right corner of image below) , Quadrant 2  connects to Quadrant 3 along Martin Luther King Jr Drive to Adamsville, Ga.



                            (1962 - 2013)

In 2013, the area identified as Quadrant 1 (See Image below) possessing the zip code 30318 was designated historical. It is quite unfortunate, because the original Collier Heights Area consist of two additional zip codes; 30311 & 30331 which is Adamsville, Ga. This covered 4,000 acres of land.

Video Source:  https://youtu.be/44TzQDkWpfE

                                   (Collier Heights Proposed Plan of 1961)

Before Collier Heights

Before there was a modern-day village called, 'Collier Heights' proposed in 1948, there was Adamsville, Georgia incorporated into a City in 1906.  Although, the name was given to this village in and around 1870 as a result of Farmer George W. Adams settling there.

( 1883 Georgia Map displaying dissolved Campbell County which now Fulton County. )

The aforementioned small town was once a cross-road settlement entrenched near the Chattahoochee River called, ' Lick Skillet '.

Located near the border of Fulton & Campbell County, Georgia in 1883; very little history today is known by its current inhabitants.

Fore, Campbell County, Georgia no longer exist; it was dissolved and now is the lower portion of Fulton County.  It is allege that Campbell County, Georgia did not want the railroad running through
it, thus turning away growth, industry & technology.

The Lick Skillet Settlement survived a Civil War Battle which occurred on Lick Skillet Road on July 28th 1864.

Source: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/18353752/thirty_years_ago_the_battle_of_lick/

The article shared above points out a number of clues to the Lick Skillet Road Civil War Battle in 1864 that occurred and possibly allude to an answer of unmarked graves found in woods near  Baker's Ferry Road 2013 - 2018.

 At a certain point in time, this road was also named Gordon Road or today - Ralph Abernathy Blvd & a larger portion is Martin Luther King Jr Dr that extend to the Chattahoochee River.

Source: http://chazzcreations.com/thomasshawlangstonscottrobertsdell_family_connections/joseph_shaw__lick_skillet__cohutta__red_clay_georgia

The Lick Skillet Settlement survived a Typhoid Fever Outbreak in 1853.
Prior to the Treaty of New Echota of December 29th 1835, gold was discovered in North Georgia (Dahlonega, Ga), as well as, West Georgia (Villa Rica, Ga).  This caused an economic boom for this precious mineral to occur and the disruption of Native American lives.  

Before the misbegotten treaty mentioned above; in 1832, American Indians (Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, among other Nations) were forced to move away from their lands which included the border of the Cherokee Nation (Now Cobb, Campbell & several other counties.) which was near the Lick Skillet Settlement.


( North Georgia in 1834;  Atlanta, Ga / Fulton County did not exist,
but Decatur, Ga / Dekalb County was present. )

During the 1830's, Atlanta, Georgia, as well as, Fulton County did not exist.  In their place were an extended version of Dekalb County, the forgotten seat of Campbell County with Fayette County following closely behind.  Today, what vast areas of land these counties once possess are now other counties such as Fulton, Cobb and Douglas Counties.

It's interesting to note that Campbell County measurements, mass & shape changed several times from 1828 to 1870. During that period of time Cherokee Nation northwestern land, developed into many Georgia Counties over a period of 42 years.

Campbell County was established December 20th 1828 and on January 1, 1932 finally merged with Fulton County, Georgia.

A major change or alteration occurred in the area of what is now known as Collier Heights starting in the 1830's, 1850's, 1860's, 1880's, 1900's, 1950's, 1962-2012 and from 2013-2019.

So, what is the point of this discussion? Making things different is not always acceptable.  But, if we are to continue to develop, while building on great things in our individual lives, families and societies; then evolving into the future is imperative.

     (North Georgia prior to December 29, 1835. The red circle identify where Collier Heights is currently located.)

Order of (5) Five Priorities in Life

by C. Henry Adams


When I was a child growing up in my modern-day tribe called,
' Kevin Heights Neighborhood ' of the village called, ' Collier Heights ' of Atlanta, Ga USA; I heard my parents often say this,  " Boy,  you better get your priorities straight or in order! "Of course, I asked quietly to myself under my breath, " What are priorities? "

It turns out that priority in its singular form; is anything that you regard as being important.

That being said, there are many priorities in all our daily lives.  But, for the sake of time, which happens to be a manageable priority (LOL), I will just focus on (5) five priorities.

Those items are; Spiritual Guidance, Mental Stability, Physical Stability, Self Sufficiency and Family.

When one thinks of the management of their individual life, position in life, authority as a leader ( Business, Non-Profit Organization or Community), perhaps they should order their steps while living.

Basically, the arrangement or disposition of the (5) five items could help create a positive system in one's life to exist well.

Order of Priority

1)  Spiritual Guidance: Each living creature on Earth possess some type of animation or motion while alive. But, it would seem odd to actually see a living being without a spirit. Fore, human beings appear to behave uniquely.  Could we assume that how we conduct oneself goes beyond our earthly & scientific knowledge, as well as, understanding? If this is possible, then seeking wisdom and insight from beyond might be worth consideration.

2)  Mental Stability: To possess the abilities to learn;  to be able to feel, express and manage a range of positive and negative emotions.  To become a ' People's Person ' (People skills or soft skills) or consider developing relationships with people is beneficial. Learn to cope with and manage change and uncertainty.

3)  Physical Stability:  To possess the ability to maintain a physically fit body while practicing good health.  This is coupled by getting sleep and eating healthy to say the very least, fore,
there are many other health related factors to consider.

4)  Self Sufficiency:  To possess the ability to satisfy one's own basic needs (e.g.  Earn income to satisfy one's needs, feed & take care of self, etc.)

5) Family:  To possess the ability to take care of one's family basic needs (e.g.  Earn income to satisfy family needs, feed & take care of family, etc.)

Perhaps, there are no perfect individuals or people on this Earth.  Therefore, let's consider that when you place the above mentioned priorities in the particular order from 1 to 5 of importance, things will not be the same for everyone.

However, should you pray while maintaining a positive mental attitude, then implementing some type of physical works to 1st help yourself, then others; good things may occur.

Just a thought process.  What do you say or think? 

Thanks!

Reflecting on what Father's Day means to Me

Marion Lewis Adams, Sr.
1923 - 1995

by C. Henry Adams

It was the Summer of 1979 and 12 months had passed since my brother Marion Lewis Adams, Jr. passed away while serving in the US Army.

Sadden by his death, yet, determine to move forward in life, my parents were outgoing people.

This particular year and season, my Father decided to take my Mother, my nephew and myself on a journey from the State of Georgia to California via car.

This journey took us through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California.   To name a few memorable sites; we saw where JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. We ate Buffalo Burgers in Arizona.  We drove through the desert without air condition per advice of a Gas Station Attendant. We heard, ' Tie a yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree ' a thousand times on the radio during travel.  (LOL)  We visited Las Vegas, Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon.  We drove by a Car Wash in Los Angeles, California that reminded us of the 1976 Movie named 'Car Wash'.  We cross the Golden Gate Bridge to the disappointment of my nephew, fore, it did not appear gold, but red instead. We rode the San Francisco Street Cars or Trolleys.

Perhaps, this unique venture was a pivotal moment in life for all of us.

In fact, when I pass by the Atlantic Station in Downtown Atlanta, I don't always glance at its wonders.

Why? Well, before there was an Atlantic Station, there once was an Atlantic Steel Plant.  It was where my father worked over 30 years for this company from a switch-man in the Norfolk-Southern Railroad yard to a local Locomotive Engineer employed to ship in and out steel.

I recall when he once was a Crane Operator for the aforementioned; moving scrap metal from bucket rail-cars,when the boon of the crane fell backward on him nearly taking his life.   Yet, as a US Veteran & Montford Point Marine (USMC), his motto was to finish what you start while never giving up the fight.

I realized that I slightly jumped off the tangent here, therefore, allow me to realign.

I would summarize that memories of my late Father aren't a once a year thing.

Fore, I reflect on his ordinary capability to do extraordinary things in life daily.

That being said, if you are a Father or even a Mother, please don't think for once you struggle alone or that your struggles to move forward in life are fruitless.

Yes, struggling is real, but the love, devotion and commitment you give your children are too.

Please continue to be blessed and a blessing to others knowingly or unknowingly.

Happy Father's Day!

A Quick Review of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Small Business Exchange and Matchmaking Event - Atl, GA GSU 060519

by C. Henry Adams

I will be the first to admit that we are all human, therefore due diligence must apply in all aspects of doing business.

Having attended a prior engagement on Wednesday June 5th 2019, I missed two things on the program agenda: 1) Opening Remarks and  2)  How to Do Business with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC").

I can hear someone say, ' So why am I reading your blog at this point!? '  

Answer:  Because, all was not completely loss, IF you arrived late to the event.

In fact, the NRC was quite prepared to accommodate Contractors or Small Businesses with Personnel that was disabled by blindness or were deaf to say the very least.

I was impressed with the Networking Break and Expand Your Small Business Growth with Government Agencies on the Agenda. (A deaf-interpreter was on duty.)

The NRC left business cards on the display table embossed in braille for the blind.   Furthermore, the NRC left a three mini disc pamphlet set that possess 2011-2012 Information Digest, Strategic Plan Fiscal Years 2008-2013 and 'Making Our Business Your Business'.

This organization greatly impressed myself by providing seven overall opportunities: 1) contact information for the NRC, 2) research information on the NRC , 3) the ability to do business with the NRC, 4) CDC - U.S. Center for Disease Control, 5)  GSA - U.S. General Service Administration , 6)  the Fulton County Georgia Government and finally - 7) the ability to network with other companies.

Much appreciation goes out to Georgia State University for accommodating this event.

Thanks!
