In addition to this, I wasn’t happy with someone else telling me when I had to work and when I could go home. It wasn’t all bad, though, as I got the chance to speak to lots of people each day.

A Bounty of Blessings

Blessings like butterflies come to us and often catch us unawares. How many times have we heard the words "Count your blessings!"?

As we count our blessings we automatically create an energetic link to Spirit which activates an infinite feedback loop that garners us greater and greater blessings to count.

The Resiliency Route to Authentic Self-Esteem and Life Success

A controversy has developed about what is known as "feel-good" self-esteem. At the heart of the controversy is the assertion that making oneself or someone else feel "special" by using methods such as looking in the mirror and saying "I am somebody," doesn't do any good, and may do harm. One result, say some researchers, is that this type of "self-esteem building" produces "counterfeit positive self-assessment" (Rosemond, 2002) that can set people up for disappointment in the
