O Divine infant of Prague dearest Jesus you who so lovingly said ask and it shall be given to you seek and you shall  find,  knock and it shall be opened to you… have mercy on me now and through the intercession of our most holy mother, i humbly ask that you grant me the grace i need and my petition. 


( That I mary jean ziska, will remain happy and grateful now that God listens and answers and grants my payers, requests, and affirmations and wishes every day!  That God will grant me my request for a huge multimillion dollar financial miracle, He will grant me the wisdom, the guidance and divine connections to protect and make it grow and use it for great things.  That he will protect me from all evil and all who would try to harm me or steal  from me or cheat me out of anything, or lie to me, in  order to gain the blessings that God gives me through this huge financial miracle!  )


O Divine  infant of Prague, dearest Jesus you who so compassionately taught:  If you can believe all things are possible to him/her who believes, have pity on me now i do believe … help me increase my weak faith and through the blessed mother’s intercession i humbly ask you to answer my request and y petition.

O Divine infant of Prague dearest Jesus you who once benignly said to the apostles If you have faith even like a mustard seed you will say to this mulberry tree be uprooted and be planted in the sea and it will obey.  Hear my suppliant prayer, i honestly beseech you and through the intercession of Mary most holy i feel certain that my prayer will be granted! 

so here is the new lesonof the week… actually a leson i keep being taught over and over again .. but i keep trusting people. and so keep forgetting this lesson…

sothis is it…

“Don’t mistake manipulation for friendship”

maybe no one is kept out of the way as much as i have been… or has had there lives completely destroyed by fake friends or enemies… and manipulative people who do not  care about anyone  but themselves and their own selfish interests…

maybe everyone out there in the world  has those real genuine friends who aactually want to  see others be happy.. who are honest…. and trustworthy.. who actally are true friends… i guess i am so unacustomed  to to having anyone in mylife who is not genuine.. who is nice because they  actually genuinelly like you.. and having real genuine friends you can count on and you can  actually trust…. 


It is always a shock to my system each and evey time… this breach of trust is broken.. the llies are revealed or the truth about th e manipulation is revealed… like when something is stolen from me… i go though this great emotional disappointment adn betrayal…. the dishonestly of some humans … i dont think i wil ever get used to it not really…. 
when youare a real person and you are lied to .. or manipulated.. it just  hurts…  and then you just  feel like such a fool…

i was babysitting yesterday  we were discussing truth and  honesty… when playing this eletronic game of 20 questions… and the ambuiguity of the answers… the choices  being either yes – no or sometimes…  ( seems pretty straight forward doesn’t it?… well the boys wanted to trick the machine and when they knew the answers they wanted to put either an opposite answer or just  sometimes as the answer…  ( like obmitting the truth…. ) what do you think would constitute a lie.. or obmission of truth? i dont think it shoudl be subjective….  

…..unless you yourself only tell the truth …. yes…. no …. or sometimes……

anyway…. i dont lie or obmitt the truth… so…. hopefully i guess i keep hopeing that others won’t as well…. but it is always sooo disappointing when you find out they do…. 

Well, today August 14th 2010… I had a brain storm ….last week I re-watched Julie and Julia.   I decided  that I can also write a blog… on the dating  world… or more specifically my NON dating world..my attempt of entering into the dating world using E harmony, and any other method( that is normal of course)… any interesting yet safe…. method that may be suggested I  may try…. and any recommendations /suggestions I may take…..that anyone may give me on the dating world these days…. 

So ….. today I googled mail order husbands and got the laugh of a life time… I will tell who ever is interested in a laugh the exact website if you really want to know…  but needless to say… I honestly think the site I viewed must have been a joke….  get this…. man with a tattoo… who would like to date someone with the same name on the tattoo… or if anyone wanted to change their name to the name on the tattoo….he didn’t want to bother dealing with changing the tattoo….HA! what a hoot!!

So here I start this blog… at 44 years old…  with every intention of meeting my gingerbread man… I mean for real… if God is listening… I must be ready by now don’t you think? HA! 

I also just finished saying a novena for a full year… actually even a few days over a year  according to today’s date… the novena was for a huge financial miracle for me…. then of course my affirmations and dreams and goals to come true… and i have a list of all these people who have either asked for prayers.. or have been wonderful and nice to me in my life .. the ones you really hope are blessed with great fortune.. with happiness. health, and all their  wishes to come true…
 
Do you think that God is waiting for me to meet my gingerbread man until after I have had my prayers answered?… or like in my story… the right guy for me just isn’t ready to meet me yet?  

So I am new at this posting… I hope the stories and comments I receive can be inspiring for those of us who do still believe that there is this perfect  person for each one of us (yes I know i’ve heard it a million times there is no perfect person… but what I mean is …. my perfect person ….the perfect fit for me…and yes I know it is not the same as yours…. of course….)  

My goal or mission is to see if the gingerbread man theory I created in 2003… will come true… to see how the dating world is going these day… to let you know the funny and amusing stories of the dating world… and eventually hopefully to find Mr. right … my Mr right … my gingerbread man!  Who knows…. I even thought of doing a contest… with a cash prize…. for the person or group of people who can find me my gingerbread man… I haven’t figured out all the details… and my mother was clever enough to come up with a byline… the “internet bachelorette”…. just not on television… not tearing down  people ( no real names will be used in any of my stories)…. and hopefully no crying….

Eventually… here is where I will probably have to put a time frame on a contest If I decide to do such a thing…. but Hopefully… a fairy tale happily ever after ending  to a small story I wrote ages ago for my sisters and girlfriends….  thanks for listening… hope to hear from you soon, luv mary jean z.

So i just  need to see if anyone has seen some of these great…. good…. or even bad shows…. television shows…….that is…

like teh show weeds…. i guess it is supposed to be this top rated show… it seems to e on a lot when i am searching for what is on television… at firs i thought it was a bit unique… something unusual… not the normal sitcom… but then watching it and thinking of writing children’s stories…  i really have changed my opinion… each and every show… not any redemptive lessons.. actually the opposite… i mean the lesson of not getting to create a profession by  following your passion..  or creating something positive a  career that you can make a difference.. a legacy to leave your children…  a positive difference in people’s lives… nope... don’t  create a business that is legitimate… this show gives you an alternative.. don’t be honest.. don’t have any morals.. lie…. cheat….. steal… and be sure to break the law and sell an illegal substance yep… this show… cant wait to see all generation of followers of this show… the kids growing up seeing bits and pieces until they can watch entire episodes… .. i mean seriously.. what was someone thinking?????

can’t some one come up with a unique story that is actually nice.. or the good guys win for a change?… is that too hard to be creative without bringing in every single  thing possible that is  bad in this world to happen in 30 minutes????. but yet it is how this girl pays her bills and lives in a beautiful house.. and hey gets everything she wants without any concern for how she gets it… yep some interesting lessons in that show…

o.k. jsut needed to get that written down…  thanks for listening……or reading….. if anyone ever reads these thoughts… HA!luv mary jean  ziska

 I have been asked the question of what did i do without pay for the  years ( 2007- 2008 ) with a tender loving care  service and atlc prep…. (usually aked by someone who is very obnoxious… and a very odd question… i guess they didn’t think i did anything…. well i did plenty…. and … usually i am asked this question by one of the girls trying to gain the title of “owning” my mother’s business…. owner of A Tender Loving Care Service” .. or who want to take credit for having done all the work so since my cousin told me to keep track of the hours…. i will just type up a summary of the house spent…. and the work done….
