Also, common to this influence is the social interactions of being affectionate which includes meeting others in various settings. No rationalizing will alter the greed involved in not having closure, and the inability to commit to either relationship. Opposing Energies: karma, abuse, conditional behavior What’s important is to maintain peace, compromise when necessary, and be responsible for what you say to others. Wide Awake Words™ for today: personal growth, consciousness, unconditional affections, evolve The fate of today’s words said irresponsibly or in anger and haste become an effect to be experienced later; with a “settling of accounts” until the lessons are learned and the experiences become level again.

She said, "I love you, but i know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you." The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who had been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasiionally. That night i called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, aren't you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," i responded. "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much." That Friday after work, as i drove over to pick her up, i was a bit nervous. When i arrived at her house, i noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told my friends that i was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting." We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, i had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half-way through the entries, i lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was i who used to have to read the menu when you were small", she said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor", i responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed. "How was your dinner date?", asked my wife when i got home. "Very nice. Much more so than i could have imagined," i answered. A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that i didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, i received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and i had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that i could be there; but nevertheless, i paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son." At that moment, i understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time." Do You Have Entrepreneurial Ambition? Posted by Dorothy M Neddermeyer on 8 January, 2013 Do You Have Entrepreneurial Ambition? Now more than ever there are entrepreneurial opportunities. As the saying goes, where there is a need; there is an entrepreneurial opportunity or in today's technology parlance, there is a need for an app for that. If you are in an entrepreneurial or business-minded mood, you are being prompted to reassess your aspiration and reevaluate your talents. Whether your projects are career-related or full fledged entrepreneurial fulfillment, you need to be fully engaged in the tasks you have set for yourself and wholly grounded in the present moment to make an informed decision. You will face multiple challenges while pursuing any entrepreneurial goals. Yet, with an entrepreneurial mind-set, you will find it easy to deal with delays and setbacks inherent with being an entrepreneur. If you sense you are stuck in your efforts to make a decision, you can find fulfillment in testing the market with projects that will lead to launching your entrepreneurial idea. To realize your ambitions, you need to first commit yourself to the thrilling; yet, often difficult path of goal realization no matter how large or small. This commitment becomes the seed of the focus that allows you to concentrate on attaining the prosperity of your dreams. Your quest for personal and professional satisfaction might be fraught with distractions and other perils. You can only prepare yourself mentally for these travail by endeavoring to understand the full extent of the risks any entrepreneur faces—the unknown factors. When you fully accept that unknown challenges lie ahead, you can approach your decision industriously and with a sense of courage, resolve and strength that sustains your soul when it seems the world is conspiring against you. The more you research your chosen entrepreneurial endeavor, the more efficient your efforts will be each step of the process. Here is to creating your entrepreneurial success. ### Dorothy M.

Some people tread slowly through life, Avoiding the closeness risk brings, Side-stepping the things they can't understand Turning away from those who care too much, Those who care stay too long, Those who hold too tightly. There is never an easy way to love You can not approach it cautiously It will not wait for you to arm yourself. It does not care if you turn away It is everywhere, it is everything. Love is the greatest of all risks. It is not reliable, it is not cautious, It is not sympathetic It is unprejudiced and unmerciless. It strikes the strongest of mind, And brings them to their knees in one blow. Even in the best of times, love hurts. It hurts to need, it hurts to belong, It hurts to be the other part of someone else, Without either of your consent. But, from the moment it overtakes you, It hurts worse to be all alone. The risk of love never depletes; It grows stronger and more dangerous with time. But, it's in the total surrender of all defense, That we, no matter weak or strong, No matter willing or captive, No matter what, we truly experience love. Despite the many things love is not, Outweighing it all are the things that love is. Love is surrender without a loss. It is a gift without the cost. It consumes your every thought and desire, Every breath you take. It is the fire that fuels you To do more than pass through life; It urges you, instead, to live. No matter the outcome, having felt love, You will never be the same. It may scar your heart and soul And leave you only memories of forever. Or, it may cause every day of your life To feel like there is no need for tomorrow. But, love is worth it. It is worth the risk... For in all of life, LOVE is truly the only risk worth taking.

Prayer for January 7, 2013: Role Model Posted by Cherie Durbin on 7 January, 2013 Heavenly Father, Please help me to be a role model for my daughter. Lord, help me to exercise patience with her and not get upset over silly things like toys that litter the room or grape Kool-Aid stains on the couch. Someday I will long for the days when I had to clean these messes up. When I have a choice between two words, help me to choose the good word and not the bad word. Lord, help my daughter see me doing good works like volunteering, sharing, caring, giving-not bad works-so that she may one day follow in my footsteps. And Heavenly Father, above all else, let her see my faith in you, my trust that you'll provide for our needs and never desert us in troubled times. All of this I pray in Jesus's name. Amen.

DEADLY FACTS...Smoking kills approximately 5.4 million people every year, is on track to kill 6.5 million in 2015, and 8.3 million in 2030. Every 6.5 seconds a current or former smoker dies according to the World Health Organization. Over 450,000 Americans die because of smoking each year and 8 million suffer chronic diseases. Secondhand smoke kills about 50,000 of them. Tobacco use will kill 1 billion people in the 21st century if current smoking trends continue. Smokers die on average 15 years sooner than nonsmokers. You can change these deadly facts. Being overweight is a matter of life and death. People who are overweight are more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems such as: high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, abnormal blood fats increasing the level of LDL (bad) cholesterol, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, gallstones and weak pelvic muscles. They have a higher risk of developing many different kinds of cancer. People who are overweight have difficulty breathing, walking or sitting. Reports reveal over 1 million people in the world commit suicide every year. More than 30,000 are in the United States. People commit suicide for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons are due to stress with work, money, relationships and depression. When someone commits suicide, it can usually come as a surprise and shock to family and friends. Many people who are thinking about suicide never really admit they are seriously considering about ending their life. Their low moods are often mistaken for just being 'down in the dumps.'

Psychiatric Diagnostic Manual Editor Reveals Emperor Has No Clothes Posted by Dorothy M Neddermeyer on 7 January, 2013 Recent research reports have emphatically debunked the science of labeling behaviors or symptoms as a disease. • Psychiatric Disorders: The Face Behind the Billion Dollar Marketing Campaign. Twenty million children are labeled with “mental disorders” that are based solely on a checklist of behaviors. There are no brain scans, x-rays, genetic or blood tests that can prove they are mentally ill, yet these children are prescribed dangerous and life-threatening psychiatric drugs. Child drugging is a $4.8 billion-a-year industry. There are no tests in existence that can prove mental ‘Disorders’ are medical conditions. Psychiatric diagnosis is based solely on opinion. -Citizens Commission on Human Rights International http://www.cchrint.org/psychiatric-disorders/ • Psychiatric Diagnostic Manual Editor Reveals Emperor Has No Clotheshttp://www.naturalnews.com/031088_psychiatric_disorders_mental_health.html Psychiatric diagnostic manual editor reveals emperor has no clothes Monday, January 24, 2011 by: Monica G. Young, citizen journalist “There is no definition of a mental disorder. It’s bull___. I mean, you just can’t define it,” states Allen Frances, MD, lead editor for the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-IV). As DSM-IV is the imperial doctrine used by psychiatrists in diagnosing mental disorders, prescribing powerful psychotropics to the masses, and commanding health care dollars, this is quite a confession. “We made mistakes that had terrible consequences,” Frances concedes New generation anti-depressants have little clinical benefit for most patients, research suggests. A University of Hull team concluded the anti-depressant drugs actively help only a small group of the most severely depressed. “There seems little reason to prescribe anti-depressant medication to any but the most severely depressed patients.” Professor Irving Kirsch University of Hull BBC News Tuesday, 26 February 2008, 11:36 GMT After a week of conflicting reports on the efficacy of antidepressants, our experts answer key questions – Mark Henderson and John Naish – March 1, 2008 What are the facts? A new paper submitted to the journal Public Library of Science Medicine by Hull University researchers has concluded that the commonly used antidepressant drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) provide little benefit for most people with mild and moderate depression, and actively help only a small group of the most severely depressed. Last year a record 16 million prescriptions were issued in Britain, a 10 per cent rise on the year before. The Hull researchers studied 47 separate clinical trials, published and unpublished, and say that for some patients, these Prozac-type drugs are no more effective than a placebo sugar pill. PEACE FOREVER YOUNG Posted by David Sparenberg on 7 January, 2013 I pray today that there will be peace That peace will be a lasting breath inside of all living That peace will be deep breathing That peace will wing out in every direction traveling through the many colored spirals of time and space I pray that stones will speak and wind will listen listing the heavy properties of stone into the warm light of sun That tall trees will pray from roots of wisdom That watery darkness will respect tree-prayer And that Earth—abused elder all around and ailing—will find solace in our new humility and forgive and protect us Live Earth has a guardian angel I pray today that there will be peace That if I am not gifted enough to add light to light I may be poor enough to add nothing to conflict That if I am not wise enough to suggest solutions I am foolish enough to treat every stranger as a friend That as I am not complex enough to be clever I may yet remain simple enough to be honest I pray today that there will be peace Not weak peace which is sallow emaciated cold and compromised That vanishes quickly at the end of words That is dreamless groundless and conceived without a home That peace rather then that dreams in spectrums of senses is multidimensional that carries dreams to distant worlds That stands in bright circles of prayer as in green-fire That is beautiful and supply as limbs of lovers That is moved by desire That is hot with hope Better to error on the side of love: Peace forever young I pray today that there will be peace That the peace of this prayer will have many children That the children of peace will inherit the Earth David Sparenberg 7 Jan. 2013 Of Love and Rainbows Posted by Rachael Ehrlund on 7 January, 2013 The turning of every page Is all so beautiful to me And whether you soar or you fall I will love you There is no answer. There is no end To the story I see in you And I could no sooner pick a fonder chapter Than a more beautiful flower in a growing field The same. Yes But different. Of their own choosing For their own reasons And who am I? Who am I? To fail to fall To bend my knee To worship at your holy humanity Who am I? To think that someday past or future Some day other than this very breathe You could possibly be more beautiful Who am I? Somewhere you remember, too As we stood amongst the willing Waiting to begin Who am I to fail to praise you? To honor where you have been And where you are now I will not compromise my love Or bend into some old form Less wide I am the same purple that glows in the sun Smiling for passers by And the colors in your eyes I am shown Are my reason for existing Forgive me the beauty in the tragedy I cannot keep myself from reaching The deepest and the brightest parts and places And wrapping them in my open arms For who am I to miss the glory in your presence? I will give you all of me To be a witness Because I am the pieces of you I came here to believe Who am I to love you Any less? by. Rachael Ehrlund The Tree Posted by Phoenix MacKenzie on 7 January, 2013 Visualization 1 THE TREE Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a forest gazing out across the fields - waiting for the sun to rise in the East. The trees do not tower above you - they stand still and calm as you do. They have seen life come and go for hundreds of years, just as you have. Each tree is uniquely woven into the forest, each is unique in the beauty of its age, its wisdom and character - yet together they form a place of shelter - a tranquil place in which all who enter grow a little wiser. You are a tree, waiting patiently with the others for the Eastern light to rise. Now you sense a warmth, the outer darkness is fading away. Above and around you thousands upon thousands of leaves are unfolding, eagerly reaching for the light - basking in its warmth and energy. From the depths of yourself - from the roots that stretch deep beneath the ground you begin to draw upon the Earth’s forces. The energy flows through tiny roots growing ever more vigorous as it rushes into larger and larger roots toward your trunk. Sunlight is captured by your leaves and its energy flows through twigs and branches - surging into your trunk from above. The sky and the ground, the light and the depths all become part of you now as the energies of the Earth and the Sun flow and mingle within. Faintly, very faintly you perceive your heart beating with many other hearts in this ancient forest. Before you a human child stops gathering berries and looks up at you in wonder. What will you whisper to the child? 修改訂閱 | 取消訂閱
