I’m sitting here serving jury duty and can’t do my regular routine. (I’m not opposed to doing my civic duty, it’s just the timing.) Sitting here is leaving me feeling swamped with my To Do List and sucked-under… lots to do, plus it’s finally summer here in Oregon (we get so little summer, it is hard to buckle down.) Well, what to do when surrounded by quicksand, alligators and swamped….
You can tell a lot about a person by the way she handles adversity. You’ve seen it, I’m sure. Some crash and burn, while others stumble and totter and waver for a bit, but then come back up stronger than ever before. What makes the difference? It could be a number of things, but let me tell you what made a big difference in my own life. I began to handle problems and adversity differently after a friend shared this truth with me. Life is not a battlefield nor a chessboard nor a prison. Life is more like a school.
You might call it "pure Hell" but I would call it "pure Earth." In a session of Regression Therapy,I guided "Daisy" through a tortured life of uncontrolled drinking, joyless sex, with a keen desire for escape that never was satisfied. Daisy didn't even succeed at suicide, or so she thought. ...

Recently, many friends have expressed the pain and turmoil they have been experiencing as of late. They are struggling financially, emotionally and in their relationships. Each feels as if severe storms are occurring in their lives. I myself have had many doubts and frustrations that seem to be hitting me from out of the blue. These things are no different than they were a year ago, yet it seems worse now. Does this scenario of doubt and fear sound familiar to you?

Familiarizing oneself with the various means to detect and diagnosis breast cancer is incredibly important, and will hopefully enable you, or the women in your life, to make more informed decisions when deciding how to go about breast cancer prevention and protection. Though I do not wish to deter you from using Mammography as your prevention method of choice, recent studies have indicated that a single mammogram has 1000 times the radiation of a chest x-ray. Sadly, this has lead to an increase in Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) of 328% since mammography was introduced in 1983.
A friend named Tom, teased me about being a “pacifist” even though I have (he says) a tendency to say “shoot it”. He tweaked me to be more conscious of my use of language and thought process and offered to take me target practicing so I would have a greater appreciation/respect of firing a gun and my choice of words. I said yes – how hard could it be? Sure looks easy on TV. He brought a number of guns (pistol and rifles) – oh boy – where to start? This was a bit overwhelming and VERY COMPLICATED looking.

Picture this scene. We were in gross anatomy lab when we were asked to cut open the chest cavity of our cadaver. Feeling squeamish yet? What happened next was a bit of a shock. Cadavers have been soaked in formaldehyde for at least six months before they get to the lab so you might imagine that they smell like formalde
The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved. ~ Mother Teresa ~ We live in a society today that engenders loneliness in a large percentage of the population. We are herd animals and yet as we become more affluent, we seem to be moving away from the family unit, and from living in community. The proportion of single parent families and elderly people living on their own is rising steeply and dating agencies are everywhere, which suggests that certain elements of society are not being catered to as they need.

Goals & Commitments Donât confuse a commitment with a goal! Commitments are things that you WILL do. Goals are things that you WOULD LIKE TO do. I would say that anything that is not in your control would NOT be something you could make a COMMITMENT to. IE: âIâll make a COMMITMENT to making 28 sales this month.â How could you commit to that? You could make a commitment to trying as hard as you can, But who is going to help hold you accountable to that? Yourself? Focus
So you havenât been in a plane in years. The last time you were, perhaps you thought you were going to die, just like the first time, the second time and each other second you spent on that airplane. Obviously, you have a condition called aerophobia, a term which speaks for itself and, thus, needs not the slightest explanation. Maybe, what you would be more interested about is how to overcome this fear. If you're asking if people ever get over aerophobia, of course, they do

There are many kinds of toys that we can choose for our toddlers.

Dr. Romance has had many clients who are grieving, and wrote this to help. None of us wants to think about it, but the standard definition of a totally successful relationship is the old, traditional "til death do us part." Any time we love, whether it’s a life partner, a dear friend, a child, a sibling, a parent or even a beloved pet, we are risking the loss of that love.
Just as drug addiction has been on a steady rise throughout the United States, so has a steady growth in the number of drug abuse rehabilitation centers to help those struggle with drug addictions. As long as people can get their hands on alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, methamphetamine, narcotics, sleeping pills, and other addictive drugs, there will be a need for drug abuse rehabilitation centers to help those who have abused these drugs to the point of drug

Dear Money, I am writing this letter to you, a long overdue letter. It is time we get it out in the open, once and forever. This subtle, up-and-down non-sense has gone on long enough. Let's start on a positive note, shall we? Thank you. I do appreciate the opportunities you have presented to me. I love my home for example. Yes, I know I cannot take it with me, but as long as I am here, I am deeply appreciative of it. I watch my wife Lisa, play her guitar and do her photography. Without you, neither would have happened. Her joy is my joy.

Imagine yourself sitting in a movie theater chair with a tall bucket of butter popco and big cup of ice-cold Coca Cola, maybe stealing a nacho or two with your sister or friend next to you, chatting away about your day’s events – who sent you an email or a text or whatever makes you happy. You might be at Carmike Hickory 8 Theater in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, watching “Mad Max: Fury Road,” or in the Lafayette Louisiana Theater laughing at a comedy “Train wreck.” Maybe at the Aurora Theater in Aurora, Colorado, taking in “The Dark Knight Rises.” You are being targeted by a killer.
In last issue, we talked about giving as a way to gain and I really wanted to share a story that I did not have room for, so I thought I would share it quickly here. A few weeks ago, I found a five dollar bill in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. I immediately was grateful and thankful. I took it as a sign of the Universe providing in ways I can't even imagine. I got in my car and started driving out of the parking lot and I noticed an old man who appeared to be hurting. He was frail, sickly looking, tired and he needed a cane just to help him take each slow and painful step.
A new study from the University of Alabama appears to be setting conventional wisdom on its ear. The study, published online in the March 30 International journal of Obesity, shows that eating a high fat breakfast actually may prevent many of the dangerous symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome. Metabolic syndrome- also known as “pre-diabetes”- is a constellation of symptoms that includes abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, insulin resistance and high triglycerides. It frequentl
In recent years my energy healing focus has shifted rather dramatically. For decades, like many healers and meditators, I have predominantly been using cosmic energy or life force which enters through the mind and the crown chakra and then enters the body via the chakra system. Earth Mother Yet there is another healing source, or focus, and just this past year she has become a powerhouse of healing potential. I am referring to our very own Mother Earth, as we have entered a golden age of Gaia, the Earth goddess.
People often ask me, “Are you living for the now?” Answer: Heck NO! Wish I could. Bet you do too, that is why you are reading this…the good news is it appears we are BOTH working on it. Imagine all the time wasted worrying of the past, imagine the moments lost – fearful of the future. Funny thing is, it’s been estimated that we spend 90 percent of our lives - worrying about 10 percent that will actually happen. How many times have we had Imaginary one way conversations wit
"If you cannot be a poet, be the poem."~ David CarradinennAutumn in New England is a sensual experience. Wood-smokenfires fill the night sky with ghostly images. The air is scented with ready-to-pick apples and burning oak from hearth fires. Maple trees don their cloaks of red, orange and yellow for one last brilliant display of color. The honking of geese overhead signals that another season has passed. And, in the midst of all this beauty and decay, lie the seeds for next S
Most small businesses are able to go about their day-to-day tasks without having to really worry about the data that they are accumulating. A personal computer is typically enough to handle the data that you are going to typically throw at it, but what happens when you are a larger company that continues to accumulate data at an increasing rate? If that is the case, you are going to need to be conce ed about data storage, as it can become a real issue. Here are a few tips tha

Each of us has our own set of personal values; these are the things which we believe are important, which motivate us and to which we give priority.

You would not be alone; in fact the majority of people would find it hard to answer this question satisfactorily.nnThe reality is that most of us are not fully aware of our own personal values. This is the same as saying that
If you eat rice on a daily basis, having a rice cooker will prove to be a great advantage, especially if you have a high quality one. Cheaper rice cookers may cook rice, but their performance may not be consistent and they may not be durable. There are basically three kinds of rice cookers and they offer users different advantages. Their price tags, of course, will also depend on how technologically advanced they are. The basic or the traditional rice cooker works by heating
I woke up the other morning with a painful knot of gridlocked stress around my stomach. Great…that’s what we call a “fog” – a “freakin’ opportunity for growth”. Not so bad, though. It’s just an opportunity to trade out that knot for a gift of divine truth and grace, and that painful tension was the signal to let me know that this opportunity was coming. And it just so happened I had a healing session scheduled with a friend from Minneapolis. Perfect!
How many times in your life have you said you were going to do something, and then not done it? Too many to count, like 99% of people I guess. Our word to ourselves somehow comes cheap, the cheapest of all words that we give. Why? Because noone else would know the difference. What if someone knew the difference? What if someone important to you, knew the difference?
Getting around the right people is not only a life changer, but can be a life saver. Find those that work smarter rather than harder. Where? There are many places, but just talking to people you don’t know is a good start. Maybe the random guy in a fast food line. That’s where I found a gentleman that works on investment software. It all started with a simple “What did you order?”. If you are in the people business, which most of us are, not only will you be doing your job, y

If you find you don’t like a movie, you don’t yell at the screen to change. But, is that what you do about your life? I’d decided to use the Ho’oponopono method to work on old program tapes that run in my subconscious. If you’re going to aim at a target so you can hit it consistently, you need to practice and more than just a few times.
I very clearly remember a moment in October of 2009 when I was on the verge of giving up on my dream. I was stuck in a place I had been stuck in many times before and I couldn’t see a way through it this time. I was holding on to the end of the rope and wondering if it would be easier to just let go.

The undeniable piece of evidence in the world right now is that diet and fat loss programs are all throughout the world and add up to perhaps in their thousands. Objectively speaking it is not hard to assume that with so many products on the market it points to the clear fact that many visibly do not work or are applied satisfactorily. Most fat loss programs get down to what you eat and how much exercise you do. That said, frequently in life you need to take a different appro
