Who am I?

Am I no longer a daughter, since my earthly parents have passed over?

Am I no longer a wife, because my husband chose divorce?

Am I no longer a Mother, if my children are “of age” and no longer need me?

Yes, I am still all of those things because they have shaped and defined me.

As I remained anchored to my positions in life, the sea of life continued and the waves of time washed over me.

Little did I ponder the temporary condition of my status.

Now the waters have receded and I find myself being reborn…

Be patient… the universe isn’t finished with me yet.

I recently had the dubious pleasure of making the acquaintance of an adult bully. Yes, it’s true.

I understand that there is much suffering today… parents can become ill, spouses don’t fulfill your dreams, and money can be tight… but as one who has gone through all of the above and much, much more, I can honestly say that none of my private suffering ever gave me cause to be mean, rude and socially unacceptable to others.

Breathe, center yourself, pray for joy, strength and comfort.

These are the words I said to myself. “God give me joy, give me strength. God give me joy, give me strength.”

Unfortunately, there are many beings around us who have yet to figure out that they are spiritual beings and that we are all connected, created by the same Creator, making us all sisters and brothers on this earthly plane.

A position of authority is no excuse to be a bully - doing something just because “you can” and get away with it - that’s a poor excuse for bad behavior.

Peace and light my friends… and if you have to deal with such a being on a regular basis as I do… pray, meditate, contemplate, and BREATHE!

How to set up and tame the newsfeed (status updates and posts) at Facebook.

You can set up groups in your friend list and then click on the name of the group (which will appear under newsfeeds in the left sidebar) and you will only see the status updates and posts for that group. You can switch between groups just by clicking on the group name.

Here’s how to set up your newsfeeds / friend groups that will appear in the left hand sidebar…

Click on “Friends” at the top of your page. Look to the left sidebar and click on “Make a New List.”

This is how you will separate your groups into family, school friends, work, church, etc.

After you name your first new list, then instead of choosing one name to enter in the box beside “Add to List,” look just beyond the box and click on “Select Multiple Friends.”

Then you just click on the friends you want to add to that list. When you’re done, click “Save List” and the members will appear with their most recent status updates.

Now when you go to the home page and click on that group name, their updates will be the only ones you see unless you choose another group.

Each time you first login to your home page, the default will show everyone’s recent updates. You will always need to choose a group if you want to filter the newsfeed.

Isn’t it interesting that ancient methods of caring for a person’s health are now considered alternative and complementary methods of health care?

Isn’t it also ironic that medical practices that have been in use for less than 200 years are considered traditional?

Well, I guess that’s another topic altogether that I shall leave for another day.

A study conducted at Clayton College of Natural Health, in Birmingham, Alabama, was published in 2004 by Dissertation.com.

It was a small study, only 15 participants, but the results were favorable. Reiki helped those struggling with insomnia and also seemed to improve sleep patterns for those who had trouble staying asleep.

Hopefully, more studies can be conducted to help us help ourselves by redigging
the wells of truth and wisdom - and then integrate them fully into today’s “traditional”
methods of medicine… which will be true progress.

And now, I can’t resist one more irony…

Why does the discovery or creation of new medical treatments automatically
replace everything that was known before, even when studies and research prove
that the new methodologies are only hopeful at best, and not without possible
negative side effects?

Where is the logic in that?

The logic is in the money - that’s all.
