Highlights of Today’s Show...
November 14, 2009
Today’s show began with a lot of energy as Jose opens with his monologue then introduces co-host Haydee Ayala and begins with some national headlines which included talk about the possibility of lifting the U.S. embargo against the Castro regime. Though Cuba is not exporting arms or revolutionaries they are in fact exporting doctors. More than 51,000 Cuban doctors and health care professional are working around the world today, primarily in developing third world nations. This topic certainly stirred a fascinating dialogue between Jose, Haydee and Raul.

Jose then goes on to discuss trivia, top ten movies and new releases, stogie picks to today’s wine selections, which of course had everyone amused. Afterwards, turns his attention to Haydee who talks about creative holiday gift suggestions for $10.00. Because of the upcoming holidays there will be a weekly editorial in place of fashion which will be referred to as ‘Holiday Central — Your Wonderland to Savings’ so make sure to fill up your sleigh with some neat holiday gift ideas.

Jose turns to Mr. Jim West who is a coach mentor counselor communicator and therapist who deals with all kinds of behavioral issues especially those relating to adolescents and their anxieties. Jose begins by asserting we’re in a situation where we have high unemployment, parents are not working it’s affecting the family structure and we have a runaway issue, which according to the statistics indicate that children are running away at an alarming increase. So how do we reach these teenagers to help them get through this ordeal as even the adults are going through it themselves?

Jim responds, “Teenagers, well let me give you a little history of adolescents. Parents really dread having a teenager, mainly because of the conflict. Teenagers are biologically adults. And, when you have two adults already living in the home and that child becomes a teenager they too become an adult and now you have three adults in one home that’s where the conflict begins, add financial stress to it and it worsens”.

Then Jim goes on to say when one is at odds with a teen we usually recommend that parents take time to exercise or go for a drive, de-stress themselves, because when adrenalin is increased and emotions combine you can be deemed temporarily insane, and say and do things that ordinarily you wouldn’t; and, the likelihood of resolving conflict at that moment just doesn’t work which can leave a child traumatized for life. It’s about resolving conflict and when we as adults are not managing our stress well there is a period of temporary insanity. Jose then remarked well then, now I know, I’m surrounded by a bunch of crazy people! And, of course everyone chuckled.

Bouncing back Jose asked, “What is it that you do?” I’m a Masters level therapist licensed and a nationally certified counselor specializing in treating oppositional defiance mood disorders often with supplements in place of medication. That was interesting so if you find yourself at odds dealing with your teen, do reach out to Jim West. Remember teens may not always talk with family or friends but may feel more comfortable speaking to a counselor.

Some health care providers do provide for Mental Health Services. However, for uninsured individuals try: Lake Side Alternatives, they might be able to work with you and they may even have state funds available, also Seminole Behavior Hospital. And, if you suddenly lost your health insurance and need medication try asking your health care provider they might be able to help you. To learn more about the types of treatment or counseling available through Total Life Counseling go to www.totallifecounseling.com or call 407-248-0030.

Jose raps up things with Jim and introduces Dr. Dale Salatich a brilliant surgeon who dabbles in a little construction. However, today Dr. Satatich spoke on the health care dilemma from a surgeon’s perspective. He begins by saying he had his own ear, nose and throat practice and was trained to take care of medical problems for patients specifically in those areas as well as dealing with the surgical problems, the very serious health problems like cancer.

Though he had his own thriving practice for twenty years, he found over the years the day to day of delivering care of the patient got more and more complicated. It was no longer about treating the patient but dealing more with the business and legal aspects which progressively increased that you found yourself dealing more with the paperwork rather than the actual care of the patient.

Though he is still in the system and is a licensed practicing surgeon, when he saw the face of medicine changing he started his own construction company, Graham Construction Concepts. And, today he does both. You can reach Dr. Salatich at Mid-Florida Dermatology Asso. 407-299-7333 website www.fldermdoc.com or if you need any type of reconstruction (a remodeling of your kitchen) you can call him at 407-247-5424.

Today’s show dealt with two serious issues both dealing with health, the emotional struggles of a teenager and the behind the scene dealing of a surgeon. Wow, it certainly was insightful.


Holiday Central — Your Wonderland to Savings...
Gift Ideas for $10.00
November 14, 2009
One can be very ambitious when buying gifts for everyone then afterwards realize what a serious budget strain the holidays have left. Perhaps it’s because we can get caught up in the ‘commercial’ hype. I believe we need to return to a simpler time when gift giving was actually an act of love.

So in the next few weeks in lieu of fashion we’re going to present some gift giving ideas. Things you’ll need for your creative project: gift bags, tissue papers, cellophane wraps, ribbons, and shiny objects, all can be obtained at the dollar store. Here are a few suggests that won’t take a bite out of your wallet....

1. Plants are an easy idea for low budget holiday gifts. Small plants like poinsettias can be very pretty and decorative or choose a plant with a holiday motif like a small cedar tree plant add some ribbons and other decorations (like colorful miniature holiday balls) to make it look festive.
2. Candles make great gifts. You can find terrific bargains on votive candles in holiday colors of red, green and white or even scented candles add a glass holder or a hurricane candle holder wrap everything in cellophane paper with some trimming and transition what would have been a plain gift in to an artsy one.
3. Food can be an ideal holiday gift. Homemade baked goods like sugar cookies in pretty glass jars. Not only will you have fun making them but they are a lovely gesture that many people will appreciate more than a gift certificate and cost very little to make.
4. Books are ideal for the avid reader. Your selection can be as unique as your recipient and their tastes. If they enjoy romance or mysteries novels check Barnes & Nobles for sales.
5. Board Games make fantastic inexpensive holiday gifts and there are hundreds of different board games to choose from, i.e., Jinga or Twister both will certainly have everyone laughing or splitting their pants.
6. Gift baskets another great idea. For the movie lover, consider a bag full of popcorn or candy and a $5 gift card to blockbuster; or, for that sports enthusiast add a small foam football, basketball, baseball, soccer ball or hockey stick draw or paste the team’s logo on it then add a bottle of his favorite brew and whalla a simple yet unique gift.
7. As for the gardener, combine a trowel, gardening gloves and gardening book in a plastic flower pot. And, for that chef in the family give a basket filled with recipes (selected from the internet) add a spatula or another utensil, possibly include an apron or a chef's hat which can be pick up at a party store for another perfect gift basket.
8. Consider giving a simple holiday card and inside let your message read “Here’s an offer to baby sit!” Give the recipient a night out to go the movies. BUT, REMEMBER TO REDEEM IT!
9. Children's books are great because it allows you to connect with the child through your tone and inflection. The reader tells the story those words come to life creating the mood for the tale. So for those little tikes give them fun books they can savor something that reflects their personality.
10. Coffee mugs can be purchased at a discount or "dollar" store and filled with candy or nuts then wrap in a cellophane cover, tie a festive ribbon and there you have another thoughtful gift.
Stay tune next week for more gift giving ideas.

Next week the Yo Soy Latino Radio Show is proud to present the talented and gifted Ms. Eva Mendes and multi-talented Mr. Antonio Fargas, both outstanding actors. So come back and share that cup of coffee with Jose, Haydee and the YSL team.
