Where does love come from? Contemporary science tells us that love is built into us. As the great researcher, Allan Schore, proves, we enter the world pre-wired to love the first person who takes care of us. Once an infant is born it works like this. When an infant sees his mother gazing at him with love in her eyes, happy neuro-chemicals flood the infant's brain. The child feels happy. He or she likes this feeling and wants more of it. This sets up an attachment to the source of this good feeling. Since the good feeling comes from mom, the kid starts to love mom.

10 WAYS TO BE BEAUTIFUL Appreciation Simply the greatest; a total body and soul orgasm. There is no state more powerful than when the volcanic lava of appreciation is flowing through the veins; sunsets around the world glow deeper and richer with the generous and benevolent fall out of gratitude. LET THIS BEATITUDE BE MORE THAN A PLATITUDE: ALWAYS LET YOUR ATTITUDE BE ONE FULL OF GRATITUDE. Feeling grateful is the purest of feelings. It has no hooks and no strings attached. It just makes you feel good.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? A phrase we have heard many times. First said by Charles Caleb Colton, it’s usually used in an ironic or sarcastic tone. Meant to convey that while you are annoyed that you have been copied, you recognize the fact that whoever has copied you is ultimately paying you a compliment. When this happens do you acknowledge that you have been copied and thank them? Do you wait for them to admit to their lack of individuality? It’s a sticky situation.

We are all looking to end our emotional suffering and solve our life's problems.

Other people, businesses and entrepreneurs who work in the same business arena as you are your competitors and you are theirs! I believe that this is a myth that is outdated and unhelpful for you to believe this is true. The only time someone else, becomes your comptition or you perceive them as your comeptitor, is when you do not have true belief in your own services or products. When we are lacking in our own confidence and belief in what we are doing, we will automatically perceive every other business or entrepreneur who offers similar products and services to ours, as our competi

Mediocrity Is A Learned Habit For most people the idea of having a good job, married with kids, drive a nice car, and retire after 30 years of service to a company is the American Dream. In retrospect it is for most Americans. After doing an evaluation of my own experiences and changing them for the better. Becoming aware of this fact is eye opening. What people do day in and day out unconsciously is conform. Very simply put in the strangest secret in the world by Earl Nigh

How do we change? Change takes one tiny step, but to take that one step can require a journey of a thousand miles. So many of us can dream of the life we want to have and the person we want to be. It can be especially frustrating when we get to the stage in our adventure where we acknowledge our problems and have agreed to do the hard work of self-cultivation and still find change slow in coming. Despite our efforts, which may include years of therapy, we may still suffer from shame and self-denigration.

In order to accomplish our life goals we need self-confidence. What is self-confidence, where does it come from, and how do we cultivate it? Mencius, my favorite Chinese Sage, believed that confidence comes from "ch'i," the universal source of energy.

Ethical wills are a way to share your love with family and close friends. Think of an ethical will as a heartfelt letter or legacy letter describing what truly matters most in your life. An ethical will passes on life lessons, values, joys, prayers, hopes and dreams for present and future generations. It doesn't have to be anything fancy-just a letter from the heart that expresses your thoughts. Unlike a Last Will and Testament or a Living Will, an ethical will is not a legal document.

Some of the most repulsive views that may be found in a household is mold which signifies muck and an intense shortage of cleanliness.

In this particular short article, we will certainly go over one of the most reliable techniques of extraction that are going to aid you eliminate m

“The Leukemia is the body’s way of healing. I think we have to live in harmony with it (cancer) and not be so terrified of it and not be trying to kill it.” Wayne Dyer’s cancer journey has taken him from initial disbelief to a place of acceptance and love and, more importantly, at 71 he is living with cancer and feeling better than ever.

In the wake of the BP oil spill, we face a major environmental disaster. Hundreds of animals are dead, and even more are in danger. It could take years for affected areas to fully recover. As cleanup efforts are ongoing, engineers are still trying to work out the best method to control or stop the oil. Countless environmental lessons can be gleaned from this catastrophe, and BP and the nation as a whole will hopefully learn from the mistakes that were made. While the focus is

When we look back on the past – whether just yesterday or many years ago, sometimes we think, "I wish I knew then what I know now." To help find peace of mind in the present, try working with that wish in your jou aling practice. Go back to that previous time for a dialog with your younger self. Say all the things you wish you had heard at the time. The process is likely to turn up greater understanding than you expected, with insights into your present life as well as healt

This article is about Counselling and the possible reasons it doesn't work. When it comes to counselling most people I have spoken to believe one of two things - it is so helpful or it's a waste of time. When you delve further into this viewpoint it becomes apparent as to why they have developed these thoughts around counselling. Just so you know I am an avid advocate of counselling and believe everyone should aspire to be able to work through their issues - either on their own or with the help of a professional.

If you are a chronic procrastinator, you probably have horror stories about procrastination. Have you ever found yourself sitting at your desk, knowing that you need to work on a project, even getting angry emails or instant messages from your boss or a client, missing a deadline at that very moment, but completely unable to do the work? Not just unwilling, but feeling absolutely stuck, literally unable to do the work you’re supposed to be doing?

Here are 7 important life lessons. Getting to know and understand these can make a big difference in creating a balanced lifestyle for yourself. Remember making positive choices is one of the most crucial life skills you can ever master. 1. The world does not owe you a living. You have to make your own way in life and no one can live your life for you. Learn to stand on your own feet as soon as possible. Becoming independent and steering your own course means you will be abl

Yesterday was a day I will probably remember for the rest of my life. I had the very special privilege of attending the beloved King of Pop, Michael Jackson's memorial service. Approximately 1 billion people all over the world watched as we bid farewell to the greatest entertainer the world has ever seen. All over the world, we got chills as they brought his coffin in, applauded when Al Sharpton put all vultures in their place, smiled when Brooke Shields shared her sweet memo

This morning I attended a funeral for one of the employees of our mortgage company, Mike McPhee. I only knew Mike for a short period of time, but during that time Mike always impressed me. He was hard working, organized, positive, helpful and always had a smile on his face. He was built well, in great shape and lived a clean life. Maybe that is why it was so difficult to understand how someone like Mike, could leave work on Friday, go skiing on the weekend, and be dead six da

From a purely biological perspective, no creature inherently has rights beyond that which it has the power to impose. What is able to survive does, what cannot does not. But our world is not just biology. It is ethics as well. “Might makes right” cannot be the operating paradigm in a ...

Think differently. It's one of the most powerful statements I've ever read. It reminds me, whatever my lens, view, or perspective, it matters. And, if you're a good girl, careful to keep your boat steady and waters calm, it's time to raise the tide. Look deeper at how you govern you. You empower yourself, create your own life, and happiness when you color outside the lines. Here are a few creative ways to begin. Beat Your Own Drum

In his poem The Road Not Taken Robert Frost compares Life to a road in the woods. . . . Some paths are clear and smooth; others are bumpy and filled with obstacles. While Frost's poem encourages us to be bold, to take risks, and to explore the unknown, the truth of the matter is that, no matter ...In his poem The Road Not Taken Robert Frost compares Life to a road in the woods. . . . Some paths are clear and smooth; others are bumpy and filled with obstacles.

Kate Moss’ notorious quote, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” has been a common buzz-phrase in the American collective memory for years. Although Americans’ body mass index has risen by leaps and bounds in the past decade, bean-pole thin is still the desire for many modern American women. This goal of being “skinny” is by no means an accident. Heteronormative ideas of how a woman should act, look and dress in order to attract a man pervade our culture from

Brandy Sharpe, a Hollywood makeup artist, had experienced a very bad year romantically, she said. Everything had gone wrong. Her “good lover” had been only that, and the rest of him was a disaster. But then, she admitted, a good love was only what she had been looking for. So Brandy and ...

For many, the actor who epitomized the character “Superman” is Christopher Reeve, and as millions know, at the height of his career he suffered a tragic accident that left him totally paralyzed, unable to care for himself or, initially, even to breathe unassisted.n nWith the support of his wife, Dana, Chris persevered and battled back, becoming a vigorous advocate and the public face for research that develops treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injur

Generally, failure is viewed as something negative. For those experiencing it, it may become the end of the road and therein lies the monster for simply, fear of failing again may cause a reluctance to move on. It is said that success is failure turned inside out. Thus, far from being negative, failure can be just the spur that is needed to point you in the right direction when you are off track. It can therefore have some very positive outcomes. SOME FACTS ABOUT FAILURE:

As children we are weaned on Cinderella and acculturated by an endless parade of romantic fantasies in novels, television and movies. It would be easy to assume that if we are not madly in love there is something wrong with us. The euphoria of being in love is like an hourglass, with the heart ...

The richness of life comes from our interactions with other living things. But many of us don’t interact with living things as much as we used to. For example, as I write this article it is appearing on my monitor, but on my companion monitor there is a screensaver. The screensaver image is of a beautiful green rolling meadow lying under a blue sky dotted with white fluffy clouds. The grass in the meadow seems to be leaning a bit, so I believe that there is a gentle breeze pushing at the grass. I see a few yellow dots in the foreground of the screen.

Cyberstalking is a recent form of criminal behavior involving persistent threats or unwanted attention using the Internet and other means of computer communications. With more and more people going “online,” the opportunity to target someone on the Internet is becoming limitless. Cyberstalkers visit chat rooms, discussion forums or message boards in search of victims. The range of cyberstalking can range from aggressive and hostile email, chat room bullying, leaving abusi

I’m free to think, speak and act in my own way and yes, I have the freedom to be wrong and learn from that. We live in a free world and it is supposed that we have the freedom to choose what we want to think, be or do. The reality is that we live in a very conditioned world influenced by the media. We tend to choose to do or to believe the same thing that other people do. It looks like we don’t like to use our minds, we just follow the leader. The “famous” people are

Part 2 of a 4 part series We all know that cancer cells are mutated cells. But did you know that they can only thrive in a certain environment? To put it bluntly, cancer cells thrive in a toxic environment. Once you are aware of what causes this type of environment, you can do some internal cleansing and take steps towards starving the cancer cells through adjustments in your diet and lifestyle. This approach will help ensure that you are not unknowingly contributing to the growth of cancer cells in your body.

When it comes to the debate about death penalty and capital punishment, everybody has a different view on the subject. Altogether, the death penalty is permitted in 74 countries, including the United States. There are 34 states with the death penalty in the US and each of these states has different laws pertaining to capital punishment. Other than first-degree murder, some crimes that are punishable by the death penalty include treason, espionage, drug trafficking, aggravated

It's one thing to create a personal development plan; if you search on Google you'll find no shortage of articles and other resources purporting to help you create such a plan. It's quite another thing to create an effective personal development plan, one that helps you reach your goals and become the person you want to be. The following tips will help you create a plan that will actually do what you need it to do.

On December 7, 1914, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 28 men aboard the ship ENDURANCE entered the pack ice off the continent of Antarctica. Their goal? To be the first party to trek across the continent on foot. It was a goal they would never achieve. Now, nearly a century later, the tale of ...On December 7, 1914, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 28 men aboard the ship ENDURANCE entered the pack ice off the continent of Antarctica. Their goal? To be the first party to trek across the continent on foot. It was a goal they would never achieve.

Life is truly a special gift that should never be taken for granted. As we mature and experience the world around us, we often times let the outer world define who we are, limiting us from discovering our true potential. We begin to feel stuck, trapped and overwhelmed; experiencing circumstances we believe are beyond our control. Our mind tells us a story of doom and gloom. Sound familiar...?

Life will always throw us challenges that sometimes are mild but can also devastating. Being able to rise above these challenges can often be so difficult the only way to deal with them is by patience, trying to be calm and taking each day at a time. Yes I know, try telling the person who is experiencing these ...

As we have learned in this series so far, fairy tales are ironic. They tell a truth so shocking that it can only be revealed in innocent children's stories. 2500 years ago, in Plato’s Republic, Socrates said the truth exposed in these stories was so dangerous that they should not be allowed to be read by children at all! Socrates spoke about one of the earliest Greek myths, the story of the origins of the universe. In this story, Uranus hated his children so much that he buried them in the darkest place. Then his son, Cronus, castrated him.

Few years back, we used to find crowded people in the parks, restaurants and in any other social gathering places. But now these places are filled with silence and people are getting engaged with a colorful screen without bothering about the real world. In the era of social networking, many people are living in the unrealistic world. Majority of the contemporary generation are more dependent on social media and most of them don’t know how to expand their minds without using

Just take a few minutes to think about how you bought your skirt or how you paid your gas bill. You went to the bank or you just did it through the online bank. If you really give this some serious thought, you can find that our life is closely related to a newly-emerged transaction method. That is what we call “E-Commerce” or “EC”.rn rnThe E-Commerce is a modern way to do transaction through network. Compared to the traditional transaction way, e-commerce doesn’t h

If you have read parts 1 through 5 of this series, you now have a terrific plan for helping your troubled adult-child. In this final part, I will discuss the importance of compassion, both for your child, and especially for yourselves as parents, as you work to make this plan work.

Although we are awake living our life, we are not always “awake” in terms of being totally aware of what really is as opposed to what we think really is. Everyone on earth is asleep to some extent; that is, they have illusions about themselves, people, life, and situations…even ascended masters have illusions and aren’t always “awake.” Ascension has its levels. On this ascension path, you will find that you awaken, then sleep, awaken, then sleep, and this goes on

It is a tragedy what is happening in our local school districts. The budget crunch is depleting jobs in the public sector at rapid rates. Collective bargaining agreements are no longer available in many states. If you are an unemployed teacher and your contract wasn’t renewed, I can empathize with you, I too became an unemployed teacher.

You have a right and even a responsibility to be happy. Happiness isrna state of mind. Many people let life pass them by because they choose to be unhappy. They sit around complaining, worrying, procrastinating, and gossiping about other people instead of making the most of every day. They talk about the past and how it was “back when.” Some of them live in the state of “one time.” “One time” we did this and “one time” we did that. People who talk and think mainly about the p

Today’s society places us in many different rolls. We are the friend, the spouse, the parent or child, the employer or team member. We change our behaviors and personas to fit our different and evolving rolls and responsibilities. Like changing our clothes to fit the weather or activity, we lock our true selves into patterns of behavior and speech that “fit in” to the situation of the moment. Like politicians eating tacos in New Mexico and bagels in New York, we are constant

God uses birds to teach, if only we will learn from the birds ... doves .. eagles ... we can learn a lot from these "bird brains." Although there are more tha 9,000 bird species in the world, still blue jays do not mate with cardinals, nor do robins mate with sparrows. Birds have been known to cross breed, but only rarely and then only under specific conditions, and nearly always instigated by human intervention. All those bird species are genetically different from one ano

Rejoice in who you are! Because who and what you are is a gift to the entire world. How good are you about your New Year resolutions? Do most of them involve making changes of some sort to what you’ve done and who you’ve been in the past? That’s the usual format for New Year resolutions … and probably why they hardly ever work.

When we think of exploited workers we normally think of sweat-shops in a third world country, where people work for pennies a day in horrific conditions. But there is a new class of exploited worker right here in the U.S.A., no matter how much money you make, or your professional status. This all-too-common situation is leading to skyrocketing levels of anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and children's issues.

You cope pretty darn well with the crises and emergencies of life. Somehow you get through them, over them, and get on with life. But then there are things that aren’t crises, yet somehow manage to irritate, annoy or aggravate you every time you bump into them. Things you don’t get over because they’re in your face time and time again. You know, like that ex with whom you had the misfortune to birth a perfectly wonderful daughter who you have to “share” with him since the d

Le Corbusier (born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris), pioneered modernism in architecture and what became known as the Bauhaus Movement or the International Style in furniture design. He was Swiss-born but later adopted France as his home and became a French citizen. His work as a modern furniture designer, in particular, set him apart from his peers. He was especially interested in changing the style of sofas and chairs. He called chairs, "architecture," and sofas "bourgeois."

The creation of this huge energy centre is very complicated and needed lot of researches before the scientists could came into any conclusion. The formation and evolution of t

What is This Strange Thing Called Chemistry? As a psychotherapist, I have many clients who are searching for love. When I ask them what they are looking for in a partner, they will usually start by saying, “I want someone I’m attracted to.” Unfortunately, when I ask them their reaction upon meeting a new person, they will almost invariably say, “I’m not attracted to them, or, we don’t have any chemistry.”

The FTAD Method Are you overwhelmed? Do you have too much to do? You’re probably not finishing what you start. If you have trouble finishing tasks and would like to accomplish more, “Finish Then Add Details” or FTAD. I pronounce it “ef-tad.” When you work on a task you should strive to finish it and then add details to the finished product. When I say “Finished,” I mean in sellable condition. This task can be any undertaking. Finish the job so you can hand it out, sell, per

When I First Met Phoebe Snow On April 26th, 2011 I read on Facebook that singer/songwriter Phoebe Snow had died. I walked into my hallway and stared at the gold record hanging on my wall with the cover and label of her second album, “Second Childhood,” on it. When someone dies we tend to memorialize the good only, but when I thought about my relationship with Phoebe my memories were more complicated than the typical hagiography.

We locksmiths have a variety of tools for removing broken keys from locks. One of the more common tools I use is made of springy steel that is 5" long, 5/16" wide at the handle and .022" thick. There is a small tapered barb at the end of this tool that will dig or "bite" into the broken key piece so the piece can be pulled out. It is not absolutely necessary to invest in a broken key extractor tool. As long as the tool you use is made of sturdy metal, is narrow enough to ente

A nation is recognized by its culture when the people of a nation live to gather and adopt customs, rites, ethics, lifestyle, laws, plays and art of each others but some qualities are different in every nation that make a nation different from other nations.

Worry and anxiety are caused by your emotions. Worry is a normal response to uncertainty and we all experience uncertainty from time to time; however excessive worrying will drain your emotional energy, interfere with your day-to-day functioning and cause very high anxiety levels. The good news is that excessive or chronic worrying is just a mental habit and you can train yourself to break the cycle of worry and anxiety. You cannot eliminate worry because you cannot eliminate uncertainty in your life.

One of the clearest signs that you are experiencing anxiety is getting an attack of the “what-ifs.” The “what-ifs” are what happens when you you try to tell yourself that everything is going to be fine and then a voice pops into your head saying, “Yeah, but what if . . .?” Recognizing that “what-ifs” are not true and are simply a symptom of anxiety is an important step in finding a solution to this distress.

WHAT THE TALES TELL US WE NEED TO DO What do the tales tell us we need to do to find our hearts and become what we are meant to be? What Bruno Bettelheim says for children is equally true for adults. “Fairy tales, unlike any other form of literature, direct the child to discover his identity and calling, and they also suggest what experiences are needed to develop his character further.

Charles Kettering, former head of General Motors, once said, “My interest lies in the future, because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.” That’s where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives as well.

It doesn’t matter where you begin, as long as you begin. Someone once asked Mother Teresa why she

Most house break-ins are not personal, though that offers little comfort to the victims of burglary. Ask anyone who has returned home to find their house ransacked how they feel. The majority will tell you it leaves them feeling vulnerable, exposed and violated. It's even more heartbreaking when someone has invested time and money into setting up what they thought was a good home security system. In this article we look at how to better secure your property from housebreakers in general. We take a particular look at how to prevent a burglar from disabling your outdoor security cameras.

In general, there are two main types of the sine wave inverters. One is the modified sine wave inverter that is able to run just the basic devices and not the highly advanced devices. The other one is the pure model that can run all such appliances. rnAt some point or the other while you are in the market for purchasing an inverter or just searching for the same on the web, you would have come across the two common names- pure sine wave and the modified square wave inverters.

FAIRY TALES AND SHAME The true cause of the problems in our lives is revealed in stories like Snow White. When the queen discovers that Snow White is more beautiful than she, she determines that her heart should be cut out. Mothers can be so envious of their daughters that they will do all they can to prevent the child’s beauty from emerging. One client of mine was shocked when her mother tried to undermine her new love relationship by suggesting that her boyfriend was cheating on her.

Ch’i is the prime energy of the universe. This can be correlated to “the sacred fire” of the Upanishads. The Indians, too, located this energetic source in the heart. “I know . . . that sacred fire which leads to heaven. Listen. That fire which is the means of attaining the infinite worlds, and is also their foundation, is hidden in the sacred place of the heart.”

As a former professional dancer in NYC for 10 years, I would see beautiful young girls haphazardly pile loads of makeup on their face for performances.

There are many things about celebrity obsession that I understand. I get the interest in every detail of their lives. I get the enormous volume of photos that are taken of them. But I do not understand why anybody cares about the pictures of them that were in their high school yearbooks. The details of a celebrity's life actually have some relevance, and that's why they're smeared across the pages of every tabloid and screamed from every entertainment magazine show. When the

When people say, “That’s just a fairy tale!” they mean that what the person believes is a naive illusion, a lie told to the self. But this is the opposite of the truth. Fairy tales succeed because they wear the clothing of simplicity and innocence, when they are in actuality deadly serious. Fairy tales are ironic. In many tales there is a character with a name like “Dummling” who turns out to be the hero. The stories themselves wear the guise of such foolishness. They do this because telling the truth can be dangerous.

It is up to us to open our minds to what “can be” and then make the choice to pursue it passionately. Many people are doing what they do because they think they have to do it. All too often, choices are made based on what we believe is the “right” thing to do rather than on what will make us happy. Each of us has within us a wellspring of energy, creativity, and inspiration. It is always there, even when we are not aware of it…even when we are tired, burnt out and just doing

Who doesn’t like comfort? It’s…well…comfortable. And comfort certainly has its good points: safety, security, familiarity, no surprises. That’s the best place to be when you need time to recover or recharge or take a break from whatever fastballs life keeps throwing your way. When you’re ready for change or to learn something new—or keep hitting obstacles that hold you back from achieving a new goal or desired future—however, staying inside your comfort zone is a tremendous

While hurrying off to work one morning, Beverly pulled into a fast food drive-thru. When asked what she wanted to order, she requested, “Iced tea with cut lemon.” The clerk replied immediately, “We ain’t got no cut lemons!” Shocked by such rudeness, Beverly asked politely, “Can you cut some?” The clerk’s abrasive reply was, “It’s not my job and the guy that does it ain’t in yet!” In a recent customer satisfaction survey by the University of Michigan, two of the reasons cited

If you’re out on date with a guy for the first time there are a couple of things that you can to do increase your chances of getting a second date. 1) Don’t go into the date with any expectations. Simply be present and allow the date to unfold. Too many women go into the date with the idea of finding out if he’s “the one”. That puts too much pressure on both him & you. Simply go out & get to know him. Over the course of the night he will reveal if he’s the type of guy you’re looking for and if he’s worth going out with again.

“Love your neighbors as yourself,” a quote I heard from childhood. In order for you to love someone else don’t you have to love yourself? What is love? Is it about receiving gifts? Or someone liking you because you are a good person?

There are many life quotes and love quotes that can give us inspiration to live life feeling alive and loved by the Universe. Those quotes and sayings are worth keeping in our heart at all times.

When I was a teenager, I couldn’t wait to get older and get out of school. Somehow, I believed that once I was “grown up,” life would be easy and fun. I’d be able to do what I wanted, when I wanted and go where I wanted. Guess what I found out? Life is definitely not easy. About now, you are probably thinking, “Well Judi, how long did it take you to find that out?” The answer: Not long! There’s no question that some have it easier than others, but all of us, at some point, w

GA writes: I am 64 years old. I have arthritis in my knees. I stand up all day at work and ride a bus which takes hours to and from.

Dear GA, Thanks for reaching out. I hear this kind of story all the time. Too many people are going through the kind of thing your are struggling with these days.

Silent communication affects a relationship with the suddenness of a lightning bolt, the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet, or the enduring radiance of a diamond. Look at the examples below, and you’ll see what I mean. A man slowly moves to one knee, reaches into his pocket, and retrieves a small box. He looks up into the eyes of the woman he loves. In an instant, she realizes what this silent communication means. With the suddenness of a lightning bolt in the nighttime sky, her boyfriend is about to propose marriage.

There is famous saying that motivation does not last. However, if we keep the motivational quotes in our heart, we can ensure that we are continuously motivated to fulfill our purpose.

Buddha have quoted, "Watch your thoughts. They become words. Watch your words. They become deeds. Watch your deed

The day Larry Crawford died was the day he was cured of cancer. Those were the words of my uncle at my father’s funeral on July 30, 2008. As we gathered that day to say goodbye to my father, I knew in my heart that we were only saying goodbye to his body. His spirit will always be with us, and the love he shared with so many will always be there too. Love is the only thing that never dies and with that in mind, I knew that his love would live on forever. I also knew that the

Friendship is the essence that never fades with time. It is a relation that gets to be stronger day by day. Gift is something which brings smile to our face and happiness in our lives. A friend is also like a gift, it is a source of happiness and joy. A true friend is the best gift for a life time.

What should you do when your children or grandchildren are moving away from the family's tradition of Christian beliefs? A 2007 Barna Group study finds that only 63% of Americans ages 18 to 41 identify as Christian whereas that number is 77 percent for people ages 61 or older. The continuing shift in the trend points to perceptions that young people have toward Christianity.

ec: Before we delve into the subject of Intuition and how it has impacted your life, in all areas of your life, can you give us your definition of Intuition? I think there are still some who feel that getting in touch with your inner voice only happens in a smoked filled backroom with a woman named Mistress Sylvia and a crystal ball. TR: Well that has been known to work but there is a better way. My definition of intuition is that still inner voice within that we all have but have learned to discount. Einstein called intuition the highest form of knowing.

Sometimes when we are working toward a particular end result, things may not move as quickly as we would like then to move. Also, life can throw in some real curve balls that frustrate us or thwart our intentions. What can we do at times like that? Comparing yourself and your progress, to that of another person, is a trap. Your journey is meant to be your own unique journey and the lessons you learn along the way are being presented to you for a particular purpose. Very often, when making comparisons we are not looking at a true picture.

Getting out there and being inspired while cycling is something that so many people aim to do, but may not have the drive or ambition to be successful. Finding the ideal person to look up to, however, can allow you to follow your dreams of becoming one of the best cyclists the world has ever seen.

Have you ever have your heart broken? Imagine how you would feel after you found out that your husband of 15 years, the father of your child, the man who was the co-writer and producer of your music and one of the biggest driving forces of your multi-platinum, multi-million dollar career was having an affair. And to make it worse he was having the affair with a woman who was very close to you, someone you would consider a very close friend. Now imagine that the news of his affair would be broadcast all over the world on every major television and news outlet, including the internet.

A Sharp Dressed Man Traveling with a business man brought some unexpected revelations. However, one particularly stands out. We arrive the night before the "big meeting". You know the one you have spent weeks preparing for, the one with one of your biggest clients (a $50M plus deal), and the morning of the meeting something goes wrong. He opens his garment bag only to find he had packed his entire suit--except the pants!

Travelers especially drivers are wary of radar trap laid by policemen to keep a tab on over speeding vehicles that cause much nuisance on road. Law forbids people to drive vehicle beyond a certain and those who caught over speeding are fined heavily. There are instances when over speeding vehicles were confiscated and drivers got their license cancelled. The best way to escape the iron clutches of law is to drive at the prescribed limit. Yet another way to escape being caught

We’ve come too far to ‘think old’...Right? The answer is a resounding YES. But we’re not all there yet. In the prime of our lives we felt age-neutral. We didn’t feel too young and we didn’t feel too old. We were ‘just right’. At least by our own perceptions. We made plans and worked hard through middle age knowing there would come a day that our hard work would pay off and we could retire.

Even the most successful people have experienced periods when they have been confused, disillusioned, and discouraged. Yet these very people have overcome trials and tribulations to triumph and victory because they have chosen the right attitude. When we feel discouraged and stressed; when life seems intolerable, even meaningless; when our lives are not going the direction we want them to go; and when events are taking place so fast that we don’t know the questions, never mi

Do you really love yourself? That is a tough question. How do we know if we do or not? I like to think about loving oneself like having a permanent, ever present best friend. So how do best friends behave towards one another? First of all they encourage each other. They see the best in the other person, they are patient, kind and forgiving. They may also be fun and joyous to be around. They may make you laugh and also be there to support you when you feel like crying. So do you think you are or could be your own best friend?

An old proverb runs, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime." That is one of the goals of Christian discipleship: to teach the other person to fish. nnPut otherwise, your goal is to help the person you are discipling to mature. To make decisions. To discern the will of the Lord. To think well and logically. nnThink about a typical family: when children are young, many decisions are made for them. They need to be taught a great

On a Saturday night at home while relaxing with friends, things turned interesting quickly. A dog showed up at the house.

When you finally made the decision that it is time to improve your credit history, hug yourself. You know that the only way things are going to get better for you financially, spiritually and physically are if you stand up and take action. You know you have to put forth the effort in order to reap the rewards. So how exactly are you going to implement these changes? You are going to have a "plan of action". A plan of action is crucial to your success. Without a plan it is mer

Traditionally, people have used the word “courage” when referring to war heroes, police officers, fire fighters and others who put their lives on the line. It is true. They have tremendous courage.

Success and failure are largely the result of habit, the automatic ways you respond and react to what's going on around you. Changing habits which are no longer consistent with your purpose is one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do, and one of the most essential to the quality of your life. Changing self-defeating habits must take priority. You are living today with habits you must discard if you are going to move forward. Remember, bad habits are easy to form, but

Domestic violence is a global phenomenon which has, for decades, been a scourge in society. However, the fact that it has been in existence for ages can never make it acceptable. Instead, it places a greater responsibility on modern society to find new approaches to deal with the problem so that it can be eradicated or at the very least, significantly decreased. There are many agencies and organizations worldwide involved in the battle against domestic violence and it is hoped that their strong synergies will yield productive results in the very near future.

As I work with people both personally and professionally I notice that all have been hurt at some point in their life. Some so deeply they haven't recovered. This affects their professional life as well. Some signs I have seen are: anger in the workplace, demoralizing a coworker in front of others, and quitting too soon.

The sole survivor of Yemenia Flight 626 could barely swim and didn't have a life jacket. When Bahia Bakari's airplane crashed into the stormy Indian Ocean this week, killing 152 other passengers and crew, the 12-year-old girl suddenly found herself in the watery darkness. She could hear the voices of other passengers, but couldn't see anyone, including her mother who perished. For 13 hours, Bahia clung to debris until she was rescued. rnToday, the teenager is back in France w

The last 50 years have been very fruitful when it comes to technology inventions : From the Kodak Instamatic in 1961 to the PlayStation 4 in 2013, it has always been one exciting device after the other. But the question is: Which has influenced and changed our lives the most? Here is our top 10 in random order and you can give us your suggestions as always in the comments below. Commodore 64: Introduced in January 1982, the Commodore made 64 PCs more accessible to users world

At one time at our office we had a day care. It was complete with a classroom, an area sectioned off for indoor play, kitchen, and outside playground. There was a full-time monitor/teacher and lots of little munchkins around the office interrupting us during the course of the day. It was great ...

Around the time that the Sage, Mencius, lived, a great stirring was occurring in the hearts of humankind. German philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) referred to this time as the Axial Age, where axial means pivotal. Masters of wisdom appeared in India and Greece, as well as his home land, China. It was the time of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Lao-Tzu, Buddha, the Indian writers of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita and Isaiah of the Old Testament, among others. It was also the time of Confucius and his disciples, the writers of the Chinese Classics, The Four Books.

We women have been mastering our multi tasking and organizational skills from such an early age. Remember those “days of the week panties?” Those vivid memories of getting ready for school, digging from my bureau Monday’s pink floral selection to start the week off perfectly, make me smile. We were laser focused at the onset committed to matching our panties to the correct day of the week. If laundry wasn’t up to snuff, there would be hell to pay for all those who got in the way of our tumultuous whirlwind.

You ask me how walking my dog led me around the world? I'll tell you and it's no tall tale. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood as I do every other day. I smile as I pass my neighbors while my dog greets the other dogs. My neighborhood is one of those special places where people do stop to have a brief chat. You pass the same people often so eventually those brief chats add up to learning more about each other. This was one such moment.

In my 25 years as a healthcare practitioner, I’ve come to notice an important trend in the way that most people view themselves and their health. Our current medical mindset is fixated on treatment. When I say “our” mindset, I don’t just mean that of the professionals ...

In Part One we learned that to help your troubled adult-child, you need to accept that the road will be long, but there is good reason to hope. The first step is to understand your child's condition. Once you begin to open yourself to learning and acceptance, what next? Get your child an outside mentor.

About 25 years ago I began formulating pet foods at a time when the entire pet food industry seemed quagmire and focused on such things as protein and fat percentages without any real regard for ingredients. Since boot leather and soap could make a pet food with the "ideal" percentages, it was ...

Ask any parent what they want for their children and they will say happiness. But what can parents do to insure their child’s well being? Imagine a scene. Soft warm lighting, gentle sounds. A close up on two faces. One, a mother, the other, her infant. Mom holds baby securely in her arms and gazes into her baby’s eyes. She smiles. Baby settles into mom’s hold, gurgles and smiles back. This scene has been repeated endless times.

I have personally witnessed thousands of people worldwide imprisoned by fear. They are trapped behind the bars of not being worthy of success and shackled to their past mistakes. Are you one of those prisoners? Have you been wrongly convicted and given a life sentence by the enemy of fear? It’s time for you to break free! How can you possibly break through the bondage that has kept you chained down and unable to move forward in years? Make a decision. That’s right. You must m

In 2005 David and I went to see the Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden. It was our way of celebrating our 50th birthdays, which came three weeks apart. David had been my best friend in high school. We only see each other once a year now. We get together each year to celebrate the ridiculousness of how old we're getting and how long we've known each other. Soon we will have been friends for 40 years.

Monica faces a dilemma. Her 21-year-old daughter is failing in school. She is abusing alcohol. She's always had trouble, ever since 5th grade. She's been diagnosed with ADD. Her daughter refuses to get any help. Monica is afraid that her daughter will crash and burn. What should she do?

There’s a new kind of fatigue. Decision fatigue. If you’re like most women, you make thousands of decisions a day. From the critical to the trival. Day in and day out. You can simplify your life by learning how to prevent decision fatigue. Here are a few ways to do just that. Get Comfortable with Not Being In Charger It’s a hard thing to do. But the benefits are priceless. Imagine your value is determined not by the thousands of decisions you make for others, but by who you are. Know that your value does not deminish when you allow others to make a few decisions.

Of all the advantages of becoming a minimalist two of the most beneficial ones include not being weighed down by possessions and the freedom to explore other living options at an easier pace. Overall, minimalism can result in a more enjoyable life because our personal space in the world feels lighter. At the same time incorporating elements of a minimalist lifestyle into one traditionally filled with stuff isn’t easy, especially when it comes to the often daunting task of do

Here in the United States and abroad, the current economy has created a paradigm shift in how families work to generate income in order to sustain their way of life. Millions of people coming from all socio-economic backgrounds, races and religions are leveraging the power of the internet to create and build wealth. The task of choosing the best virtual business model can be daunting. You must do your due diligence to research and choose the right one for you if you are an international business opportunity seeker.

We are all looking to end our emotional suffering and solve our life's problems. We long to answer: How can we find love, stop being so anxious, lose weight, make money, have more energy, have a better marriage, raise happy children? The answer to our life's problems is simple. The reason we suffer is because we have lost contact with our true selves. Let's find out what it means to be our true self, and how to live the best life we can have.

rnOften, I have been asked why I wrote my book, Farewell, My Friend (FMF), so I have decided to tell you. My husband’s battle with lung cancer was an arduous journey for both Rick and I. It is a journey that many other caretakers have or will have to take during their lifetime. FMF is intended to be a guide to assist you or your caretaker in managing the many details associated with an illness and, sadly, the death of a loved one. Throughout my husband’s illness and until

Driving is exciting and it is an excellent and independent experience. But driving is not just about enjoying the freedom because it comes with a lot of responsibility. Car accidents are a common thing and people lose their lives because of irresponsible driving all the time. So for the beginners, the most important thing that they should learn is safety and responsivity so that you can keep yourself safe and other people on the road safe as well. Here are some of the tips th

It's true that guys need male mentors who can shepherd them into the advancing stages of life. But I've lately come to realize how some of the most important mentoring relationships I have had have been with women. I was brought to this realization through the miracle of modern technology. I've recently "connected" with two extraordinary women from my early adulthood who taught me invaluable life-lessons, and gave me life-changing opportunities.

How can families help their grown children in trouble. In this step we will discuss creating an action plan.

These days, garage is not just a place where you park your car. Instead, a garage is used for many other purposes. There are a number of reasons for ensuring appropriate garage flooring, including protection from chemicals, oil spills, providing comfort for legs while working in the garage and also providing a well-maintained appearance to the garage. Epoxy paint, rubber mats, floor tiles are some of the commonly used garage flooring systems. Rubber mats are easy to install a

Suppose you've just gone through a divorce and lost custody of your kids. Or a loved one has recently died of cancer. Or you struggled in school as a child because you have dyslexia. Many writers turn difficult periods in their lives into books for children, hoping to help young readers through similar painful experiences. Here are some tips to keep in mind when creating and selling books based on real-life events:

Hibe ating (from the cold).....What's it good for?? As I travel on my spontaneous journey, I am eager to see the places I am visiting. I have made some sacrifices to take this journey so I want to get all the pleasure from it I can. I am currently in the city I was most looking forward to visiting, Nashville. Not only do I like warm weather, I also like live music (and yes, I'll admit it, country music).

The power of language, and its workings on my sub-conscious mind, never ceases to amaze me. Words have feelings and emotions attached to them, by our association. When I say the word MOTHER, every single one of you experienced a different feeling and emotion. Your subconscious received that communicated word, via your emotions and feelings. We often believe that it is the actual words producing a particular state, when in fact it is our associative perceptions of those words that communicate. Recently, I was watching a program about Louise Hay.

From last 48 hours I have been HEARING music continuously. Sounds crazy!!! Is Music heard or listened!!! Obviously, it’s listened and enjoyed. But, let me reiterate I am hearing it just like any other noise around. That’s where I draw my inference that we are at the nth level of sensitivity. We call ourselves as sensitive to others. Being considerate, thoughtful, sympathetic is all what we were taught since childhood. But, I question myself – Do we really realize its si

We live in a very busy, very chaotic, interconnected world. For most of us, it feels like we’re “on” all the time, always rushing from one thing to the next, and it’s as though there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish all that we’d like to do. We have personal and professional goals, but we also need to raise our children, nurture our marriage, and care for our ailing parents. Somewhere in that mix, supposedly we’re also mandated to eat a health

What is Anger?

Are you always blowing your top? Do you spend too much time fantasizing about strangling your boss? Do you feel bad for yelling at your spouse and kids? Have you jumped out of your car on the highway? Have you had to leave your kid's soccer game because you have threatened the coach? If you can answer yes to any of the above, (or are too close for comfort) you have an anger problem and you need anger management. When is anger a problem?

Ask almost anyone and they will tell you that they need more patience. And, as the joke goes, they need it NOW! The big secret is we CAN have it now. Whatever we think about, we attract There is a law of the universe that operates on all fronts of life called the “law of attraction.” It ...

“Hey, dude, I’m a teenager. Whaddya expect from me? Kids my age tend to be a little raunchy at times. We like to hang with our buds and make fun of people. And video games . . . man, I live for video games! Pops says they make me angry — some of the games are a little violent, you know? But pops doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He says that I should fill my head with positive stuff and that I should start treating people with respect. He says what goes around comes around. He says stuff like you are who you associate with, and you get from the world what you put into the world.

Everyone has problems. People everywhere, and for all time, have been searching for an answer to the great mystery of human folly and self-inflicted suffering.

A popular topic of discussion these days has been making use of energy from the sun, or possibly the lack of use. It is the case that action is more important than simply declaring the advantages that any alteration can bring. One of the most outstanding advances in the cause to save our planet has been solar power. Old generations were able to use solar as a means for storing heat. There are other alternative sources of energy but solar energy may be the most practical of al

The questio "Do I need a personal development plan?" is a hard one to answer, because it's not as simple a question as it seems. When someone asks me this, what they usually mean is, "Do I need to sit down and plan out everything I'm going to do to create a new life?" The answer to that question is no. In fact, you cannot create this kind of personal development plan, because you don't and cannot know everything you need to do to create the life you want. But I believe anyone who wants to become the person they want to be, does need a personal development plan.

There are times in our life that we try to change things in our life. This may be earning more money, gaining a promotion, living a healthier life or having a happier relationship with others. Whatever it is what we are really trying to do is creating a new reality for ourselves. How do we do this? Let us show this by going from the current reality we are in to the new reality you want to achieve. When you come to look at it, all reality is perceived reality. We can also stat

It’s difficult to be present in the space of feeling stressed or unfulfilled. Yet the only way to realize fulfillment in your experience is to be present. What may, upon first thought, seem like a paradox is really nothing more than a challenge. And the good news about challenges is that they are meant to be prevailed over. Can you withstand the pressure of being in the moment even when that moment feels distressing or unsatisfying? That is the test which, when passed, hold

Before a recent massage session, my massage therapist (Mary Rose Lam) told me how she made a horrible mess that morning. She accidentally spilled her blueberry smoothie all over her gray carpet. That left a big green stain. She was frustrated but told the story with a smile. I hadn't been feeling well and the story made me laugh out loud. It shifted my mood. "I'm really glad you spilled that smoothie," I told her. "Why?" she asked, looking surprised. "Because you just brought

“. . . for His (God’s) mercy endures forever.” rn[Psalm 136:1]rnThis one sentence is repeated 26 times in the 26 verses of Psalm 136. What a miracle! The Nokia Manufacturing Company would not manufacture a phone without supplementing it with a Manual. Just recently, I had bought a new Nokia Phone, a 1203 Nokia Model. It came with a User Guide (manual) detailing important information on how to use the device. In the General Information corner of the manual, it read: Chec

That is it! I have had enough... and who is this Inner Critic person anyhow? I do not even remember the day when I originally put that character on my personal management team. Then, to top it all off, as well as insidiously positioning itself as my second in command, I find that much of its time on the job is spent on spreading lies and malicious rumours! Here is the clincher though, I cannot remove this disdainful little character, it constantly eludes me.

I have come to the realization that our problems in life can be the very thing that ultimately bring us happiness. When we face tragedy, dig through our pain, and eventually come out of it on the other side, we are renewed. In a way, it’s the pain that helps us feel joy. I believe that sometimes God has a radical way of showing us what is important. There are millions of people in the world that have what we think we want, who are in rehab, prisons, and divorce courts. We really should be careful of what we wish for. “Good fortune” can have bad side effects.

Her Miraculous Healing Now we come to the part of Anita’s story that is more difficult to wrap our rational mind around. How could the physical healing that Anita experienced happen so quickly? Her organs were shutting down, she had lesions all over her body, she had large tumors but all this healed rapidly (the lesions took a bit more time but they too eventually disappeared and she did not need the plastic surgery the doctors were recommending).

A really young child relies totally on it's mother for survival but as they grow into toddlers and beyond they are increasingly pulled into the outside world. As they grow the need for mother's protection diminshes but they are still seeking some form of guide. In most societies this was historically the father's role. This initial separation phase is critical in developing a child's belief that they can be safe and live in the outside world. People for whom this transition

"Children are a gift from the Lord;a real Blessing". The Holy Bible calls upon parents to love their children. Not only must parents execute this noble duty, but they must, in so doing, protect, feed and nurture their children throughout their childhood and provide them with sound values which will equip them to take up responsible positions in society.

Have you ever heard opportunity knock? Are you aware it knocks in large and small ways every day? I was banging on the door of an organization for about 6 months. Nothing happened. I couldn't even get an email returned. Although I was frustrated, I kept knocking (literally emailing and calling). Oh, and let's not forget social media; I reached out through LinkedIn to several connections. But, to no avail.

Statistics like 10% unemployment and reports of 50% pay cuts barely capture the pain and anxiety that so many of us are experiencing in today's struggling economy. How can we get through this rough period and also figure out how to succeed in such troubling times? How can we set the economic ship of the world on a course that minimizes this kind of distress in the future?

To be happy and be single, you must first be happy with yourself. You cannot rely on anyone else in life to make you happy, the happiness comes from within. To start you need to look for the good in all you have, not focus on what you don’t have, which would be a partner in this particular situation. You must be able to meet all your needs on your own.

Make life an adventure, not a cocoon. Death will give you peace and safety soon enough.-Tom Rusk and Randy Read We are designed for adventure. Take a minute and think about what you have done today.

9-year-old Christina Taylor Green had lofty dreams. She wanted to help other people. She traveled with her neighbor in Tucson, Arizona to see her Congressperson, a woman, a role model, someone from whom she could learn about public service. You know what happened. President Obama spoke at a memorial service for Christina and five others who were killed that day in Tucson, and the Congressperson who was gravely wounded, and the numerous other people who were shot and injured. He asked each of us to “live up to her expectations.”

In case you don’t already know, a comfort zone is the boundaries within which you feel comfortable. This can mean mental, physical or habitual or all three. The reason a comfort zone is called a comfort zone, is that when you step beyond the boundaries, you start to feel a bit uncomfortable… more extremely, out of your depth. You should know that those boundaries are set by you based on your past experiences. Within your comfort zone, you live the way you always do, stayi

In this series I explain the steps families need to follow in order to best help their troubled adult-child. To review the previous articles, here are the steps you need to follow in order to best help your adult-child in trouble. You need to be able to understand your childís condition and begin a process of taking responsibility for your part. You need to help your child find a terrific mentor/therapist who is not part of the family and can engage the child in a process of self-discovery. You need to become involved in the treatment as a family.

In relationships, before we can be fully present for another, we should know how to be fully present for ourselves. This complete presence is the finest form of attention we can give anyone or anything. It is how we see (with William Blake) …‘the world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of our hand and ete ity in an hour’. It is the ultimate self-love. 'Self-love' is often mis-read as arrogance or narcissism. The phrase ‘being very full of yourself’ is not a compliment.

10mins a day and you could change your life… BIG GOAL ---- little goal… Consider this - the last goal you achieved – were you desperate or did you really desire it. Most people set goals that are so huge they give up before things come to fruition. Is there something you wished to achieve but haven’t? What happened? Now this thing doesn’t even have to be a huge dream, it could be something really simple. The thing is – simple or huge is different for all of us. My simple could be your huge – or vice versa.

Ug-mo ing. There’s nothing worse than those first few minutes of waking up. You don’t want to get up, you don’t want to go to work, you just want to crawl back under those covers to dream away the day. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Mornings can be a pleasant time to relax, catch up on the news while mentally preparing for the day ahead. Besides, studies prove that mornings are the most productive time of day for most people and if they properly prepare, this producti

Every parent wants their children to feel good about themselves. There is a good reason for that; most psychological problems in adult life stem from a lack of good self-esteem. Here is a story from my own life that shows what kind of parenting is needed to build good self-esteem in children. Some time ago, I came home from work and walked in the house to discover that my 3-year-old daughter was standing on a window sill. (Now this was not a really high window sill, or one that posed any real danger.) She saw me and said, ìLook at me daddy!î

A Black Hole is a region in Deep Space created when a Sun dies. Nothing can escape a Black Hole’s gravity – not even light! It is the ultimate negativity in the physical universe. Any sun is essentially a gargantuan nuclear power plant, fueled by its own atomic matter, in a never-ending chain reaction of nuclear explosions of inconceivable force. But even a sun’s fuel is limited.

We are faced with many decisions, small and large, every day of our lives from the time we become completely self-aware and aware of the world around us. As very young children, most of our decisions center around choosing whether or not to heed parental or schoolteacher instructions, choosing our friends and how we do our part in those relationships, the rest is pretty much left up to the grown-ups. Then once adolescence is reached, there is still the issue of heeding parent

I had the blessed fortune of working with King Solomon in 1983, remixing a live album of his for Rounder Records, called "Soul Alive." Of all the unique characters I got to work with in my years in the music biz, Mr. Burke was one of my favorite. Solomon told me that he had a Cadillac, a girl friend, a child, and a church in every city of America. He would land at the airport in, let's say, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and his car and woman would be waiting for him.

You’ve made your list, you’ve checked it twice. Oh, no, not that list – I’m talking about the list you’ve made of the 1022 ½ things you need to get done for the Holidays, everything from the perfect gift for Cousin Henry, to the perfect surprise for your sweetheart, to the perfect outfit for that Holiday get-together, to the perfect menu for the Holiday meal, to the perfect cleaning of your home so your oh-so-imperfect relatives will approve . . . the list goes on. As you sl

There she was, walking along in the mall, focused on the cell phone in her hand. The security camera was watching as she approached the area of the fountain and the pool filled with water. Other shoppers were in the area but they too were focused – on where they were walking. In the background were storefronts, with people entering and exiting the shops. It was a normal mall scene.

On September 15, 2005 David and I went to see the Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden. It was our way of celebrating our 50th birthdays, which came three weeks apart. David had been my best friend in high school. We only see each other once a year now. He is on the road 300 days a year traveling to places like Tajikistan to help people with the treatment and prevention of AIDS. We get together each year to celebrate the ridiculousness of how old we’re getting and how long we’ve known each other.

Undeserved Forgiveness. Wow, those 2 words together are powerful! I believe that God grants us undeserved forgiveness and that, in turn, we are meant to allow the same for others. Actually doing it .…..well that’s the hard part. As a Christian, I know and believe that it’s possible to achieve this but I can tell you that it’s something that I have to continuously work on. And perhaps it will be a lifelong journey. Every time I think I’m getting close, I’m tested again and realize that I’m not quite there.

In my twelve years as a professional organizer I’ve run into many women who are still trying to keep house just like “Mom” did. So, what’s wrong with that? After all, Mom was the role model. There would be nothing wrong with that if Mom’s life was comparable to the lives of women today. When I look at my mother’s reality compared to mine, there are major differences: • For most of the years that we three children were at home, she did not work outside the home. Therefore, s

There is a fable that I heard a couple of years ago that really resonated with me, and I would like to share it with the readers here: A university philosophy lecturer walked into a packed lecture theatre one day with an empty bucket in his hand. He was known for being a bit eccentric so the students thought nothing of it. The lecturer walked over to a table at the front of the theatre and proclaimed that he would teach them all a valuable life-lesson in this lecture. He aske

I, like millions of other people, tuned in when Oprah was interviewed by Barbara Walters. I enjoyed listening to her talk about her career and the various stories she has done on her show. But when she started talking about her friendship with Gayle King, and how special of a relationship they have, it struck a cord with me! You see…. 22yrs ago I found my Gayle.I think all women are looking for their Gayle. Over the years , the television networks have prospered heavily from airing shows with Oprah and Gayle type relationships. Lucy and Ethel. Lave e and Shirley. Thelma and Louise.

The introduction of Apple’s new iPhone 4, is only one indicator of the rapidly growing and rnconstantly improving market for cell phones. The number of smart phones being purchased and used in California has greatly increased, allowing users to access various applications any place at any time. Inevitably, this has lead to the increase of text messaging while performing other tasks. One such example of this growing trend: texting while driving. In fact, this became such a c

After its sweeping win at the Oscars last Sunday, Slumdog Millionaire seems like the movie everyone wants, and perhaps needs. It has all the ingredients of escapist fare from the Great Depression -- a populist hero who overcomes all odds to get the girl and the money. There's an added element of self-congratulation for the West: by seeing this movie you can see India without getting your hands dirty or offending your nose, and cheer it on. Cinderella didn't walk through tenem

Children are blessings from the Creator. In Bible times, the measurement of God’s favor in your life is through how many children you have. But whether we admit it or not, it is not easy to raise them. They are like brand new white canvass and depending how you mold them, that will how they will become in the near future. Below are four essential things that your kids really need to have that will greatly impact their whole being and how they perceive life in general. 1. Self Esteem

Dougald MacDonald - a great writer, climber, and all-around guy - wrote a brilliant post yesterday about the tragic passing of climber Craig Luebben (http://themountainworld.blogspot.com/2009/08/no-consolation.html). In it, he discusses at length the commonly-heard phrase: "Well, at least he died doing what he loved." In his post, Dougald mentions the also-recent passing of famed alpinist Riccardo Cassin, noting that "Craig died young and Cassin lived to 100 and died in bed.

When the kid’s mom passed away I had so many emotions rushing through me. Anger, anxiety, fear, concern and sorrow were just a few to mention. I was not at all prepared for her passing. My only concern at the time was what the hell do we do now? I believed that I was mentally prepared for raising my kids as a single parent, but totally naïve as to what that meant. I had so much coming at me that I was honestly in a fog for quite some time. I never ever sat down and thought

Recently, some friends are hanging around confiding to me issues about break ups, make ups, and some were asking if their relationship is worth pursuing. I came to a point doubting myself if I were in the position to handle their ques and give them advise since I had just gone through a major turning point in my life which I have already acknowledged as part of my uniqueness. And yes, that thought made me say to myself "I am worthy and I am good enough.." Why not??! I have been there and done that! I am in better position to help. That thought empowered me.

Modern living, individual circumstances, and tastes that have been formed over a lifetime may not permit us to eat perfectly. That’s okay. If we keep our sight on the goal of matching food to our genetic design, we can slip here and there. The body is forgiving and health does not require ...

« I am the actor of my life. However, I know the script but I've forgotten my vibrator! » (copyright Jenni Parker-Brown Leaning towards our dreams is a balancing act. Similar to a dancer spinning towards a victorious arabesque, if we dance too fast and without direction, when we lift upwards into the points of our ballet shoes, we risk teetering over and falling into the orchestra pit. If we become too fixed on the goal and the outcome, we lose the delight of the choreography that precedes.

Our great intellect is in large part necessary because of the quest for food. A cow is as smart as it needs to be to figure out how to eat what is always underfoot. The apex predator—clawless, fangless man—needs great cunning, memory, logic, and analytical thought. The spear and ...

I was recently asked to share my story of courage and the first thing that came to my mind was that my story isn’t that remarkable. It doesn’t seem to me that it’s much different than that of so many other people. I would like to say that when I was out there on that limb and hanging on for dear life, that my incredible FAITH led me there and comforted me. And it sounds great to say that I had courage in the face of difficulty. But in all honesty, I was pretty much pushed out on that limb and I was scared beyond belief.

Drinking and driving is obviously a mistake for many reasons. One of the effects of a 'driving under the influence' conviction that many people fail to realize - is just how severely your car insurance rates can be affected. If you're covered by a policy at the time you're convicted of a DUI, your rates may increase dramatically or your policy may be canceled. If you don't have car insurance at the time of a DUI conviction, you may find it very difficult securing future cover

Inspiration Remember when you were little, and you had the paint-with-water books. It was just a book with little dots of paint on the page and you would take a paintbrush and create a masterpiece. After that, your parents would get you a paint-by-numbers book that simply associated a colour with a number and you would paint that colour in the designated area. After that most of us stopped colouring. What if Brad Romer told you painting can be done by anyone? Sure, we are no

I never think of myself as a pack rat. Maybe the love of much. Maybe too much? But there are times when I look around the house and I can’t find the dog or I delve into drawers and come up empty handed or I find myself crawling around closet floors in search of a runaway shoe. I end up ...

elizabeth: Number One with a bullet: For the love of God and everything we hold dear in this world, do not, I repeat, do not buy sweat pants for comfort while working. You can be just as brilliant in your own damn trousers! I fell under the spell of “well, they are kind of cool black sweats and I did not buy them at Wal-Mart and I could even go walking with them on” line of crap. I don’t care if Giorgio Armani designed sweats for his couture line. Do not wear them at home while working.

1.Dream - It is important to have a dream. The majority of successful people had a dream and in fact, most people have a dream; it is the fulfilment of your dreams, that might become a challenge. Be one of the people who follow their dream! 2. Conceptualize your dream – Make your dream something concrete in your mind and it will appear to be more within your grasp. 3. Identify your God-given talent – Initially, it may be difficult to identify your talent. However, as you gradually begin to disce your strengths, take hold of them and build on them for therein lie your talents.

Recently Charles Blow of the New York Times cited some studies suggesting that people between the ages of 18 and 29 are “moving away from organized religion while simultaneously trying desperately to connect with their spirituality.” I believe this is true for vast numbers of people of all ages. We find ourselves in a time when untold numbers are searching for a deeper sense of fulfillment in their lives. People everywhere are looking for answers.

Ups and downs, everyone has them. In work, in life, in relationships, even in fun. Imagine a week where you feel utterly alone and single, blessed with plenty of friends, stressed because you are working too much, grateful because you love your work. You receive a call from a loved one struggling with addiction, a friend whose husband is battling cancer, yet several friends call to check on you, pray for you, and invite you out.

Successful business women no matter what industry or career path they choose, share many similar qualities and personality traits. Women entrepreneurs are able to overcome adversity and bounce back quickly. They are resilient.r

Are you the owner of a damaged car? It can be difficult to know what to do when you find yourself with the keys to a vehicle that’s unable even to be driven from your driveway.

This month a miracle occurred. Two of my psychotherapy clients fell in love. (Not with each other.) Falling in love is always a miracle. But this is different. Both of my clients are in their late 30’s. Neither of them have ever had a boyfriend that they like, have great sex with, and is nice. One is bringing a boyfriend home for Thanksgiving for the first time in his life. Now that is something to be thankful for.

Today there are so many adverse situations and circumstances we are exposed to. Whether we are self employed or unemployed, single or married with children, young or old, we all can learn how to better cope in our lives when we learn how to be more resilient having the ability to cope, bounce back, renew and revitalize. We must make a conscious effort to learn and apply strategies in order to live our healthiest lives.

As I sat in church listening to the pastor explain how meaningful names were in the Old Testament, the impact of my past hit me. The pastor used the example of Abram becoming Abraham, Father of Many Nations, yet he held that title for over 25 years before he fathered his son, Isaac. Imagine what people thought for 25 years as he called himself that. They probably laughed. I'm guessing the older he got, the louder the laughter became. After all, he was nearly 100 when he fathered Isaac. Abraham and Sarah were probably the only parents buying Depends and Pampers at the same time!

One of the most powerful ways to change your self-image is to replace negative thoughts about yourself with positive ones. You do this by taking time each day to visualize how you would like to be. The more you visualize your ideal self-image, the more you will actualize it in your life. This doesn’t happen as a result of wishful thinking; it happens because you are activating and releasing the inner potential that is currently dormant within you. You are waking up your COR

Stop! If you have published a book this information has the potential to explode your one book publishing idea into residual income you have left on the table at every book signing, talk, or workshop. How many times have you told someone you wrote a book and they proceeded to tell you how they too long to publish a book? You probably referred them to your publisher, or encouraged them to hang in there.

Part of being an adult means knowing how and why to better yourself. When we're children, we gain so much knowledge and experience in a relatively short amount of time. We go from being unable to feed ourselves to walking, speaking, and understanding complex concepts such as math and science. As we age, we can feel less motivated to better ourselves and immense dissatisfaction as a result. Here are five tips for becoming your best adult self. 1. Sleep You might not realize ho

Ever wondered how we keep adding more stuff into the gray matter between our ears each second and never really worry about how long it could hold it all in together? Yes, it is undeniably the most sophisticated storage system to be found in the Universe but we do need to leave room for better stuff to get in there from time to time. Your brain may be filled with so much clutter that could in fact be standing in the way of you progressing in any aspect of life. I am not refer

The strongest, most courageous, most enlightened people succumb to it. Coaches do it. Happy people still do it. Masters of manifestation slip up occasionally. What is the habit that we can't seem to kick? Complaining. No matter where we are on our path to glory, when we feel fragile, tired, lost and confused, we just can't resist it! It is a serious addiction that needs to be taken very un-seriously if we are to kick it. It is absolutely impossible to expand into our great, true ever-selves while we keep moaning about the tight fit!

Creating H.E.A.R.T driven goals. Christina Tangora Schlachter, PhDr All Content under Copyright ©2010 Dr. Christina Tangora Schlachter /Dr. Mommy ® For years I coached organizations and leaders on how to create “S.M.A.R.T.” goals – or goals which were Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. How boring. Living your perfect life is not going to be attained by writing down a specific goal in life which is clearly attainable and measureable on a scale.
