***Creative Visualization to Connect with your Mighty I AM Presence

Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. As you breathe in, breathe in the Light of God and as you breathe out, breathe out all that is not of the Divine. In your mind’s eye, see yourself now sitting in a magnificent room with crystal floors and iridescent walls. You are seated on a crystalline seat that has geometric shapes inscribed on it and yet is soft to the touch and very comfortable. You intuitively know that the inscription is your Soul name.

Be Truly Human: Practice Random Acts of Kindness!

Consumer Tip: Beware of “Zero Interest” Payday Loans

A new UK-based site, InstantLoansDirect.com, is trying to attract new borrowers by offering so-called 0% interest payday loans. They offer short term loans without interest, but there’s a catch. There is no interest for the first eight days, but after that initial period, there’s a daily fee based on the amount of the loan. This means that the claim that the loans are “interest free” is somewhat misleading. Obviously, the company wouldn’t make any money if they were just giving it out—in fact, they would lose money, as there would be no profit to be gained.
