Letting Go and Letting Be by Tony Cuckson The Blessing of Letting it Be “Speaking words of wisdom, “Let it Be” -- Paul McCartney In Corrogue it is frosty. The earth is heard and unyielding. This reminds me of how our hearts often become. They become cold and we ourselves become frosty. The flow of our energy is blocked. “The soft animal of our body” which is mostly water becomes hard, unmoving and unyielding. Then we enter “times of trouble.” These words “Times of trouble” are from the beautiful song penned by Paul McCartney entitled “L ... Making Commitments of Love and Courage by Steve Brunkhorst There is a story about a little girl who suffered from a serious disease. Her best chance of recovery would be to receive a blood transfusion from her five-year old brother. The doctor explained the situation to the little brother. He asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. The young boy hesitated for a brief moment.

Maybe I'm Amazed the you Love me all the Time by Tony Cuckson “Maybe I’m amazed that you love me all the time.” -- Paul McCartney In Corrogue I am amazed I rise by the light of heaven to continue this amazing journey into love. There is no other journey quite like this. All of us are on this journey. Most of us, however, are unaware of this journey. Rather than enter this amazing flow of life we enter a maze of confusion.

Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life by Laurie Hayes The only thing in life we have direct control over is our thoughts and our thoughts determine how we experience life. You may know of someone who has what appears to be a perfect life … a loving family, a beautiful home, an amazing career … but if this person is filled with negative thoughts, he or she is not able to fully enjoy what life has to offer. This person may be focusing instead on what is missing or what is perceived wrong. You may also know of someone who has faced a difficult situati ... Success Unveiled by Laurie Hayes How do you define success? According to the Collins dictionary, success is defined as the achievement of something attempted; the attainment of fame, fortune and position. I believe this definition requires expansion … success also means being a responsible human being, caring for our planet, feeling good about ourselves, making others feel appreciated and valued, providing and caring for others, and sustaining genuine lasting relationships. To have a 40-room mansion, four luxury cars and your o ... Respect is a Four-Letter Word by Laurie Hayes One of the most important needs for every human being is the need to be respected. It doesn’t matter if you or anyone else is a corporate executive, host of your own television show, short-order cook, Wal-Mart greeter or stay-at-home parent. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect regardless of occupation, gender or social status. If you want to succeed in your chosen profession, create a loving family environment, improve a relationship, find your soul mate, or just improve the quality of ... How Breaking Routine and Unexpected Acts of Kindness Can Energize Your Day by Laurie Hayes Sometimes life becomes so routine, we don’t have to think about a thing we’re doing throughout the day. We’re programmed to run on automatic. It’s important to shake things up every once in a while to get the creative juices flowing, give us an added boost of energy or give us something to concentrate on for a change. When routine sets in, particularly in relationships, we can’t always see the impact it has until we throw a new ingredient into the mix. This week, I ventured outside of my regular ... 5 Ways to Combat Job Burnout by Krista Regedanz Job burnout happens when the stress or prolonged frustration of a job or career contributes to emotional and physical exhaustion. The ability to cope with general life stressors outside of work is strained. This combination results in a lack of motivation, fatigue, irritability, and sometimes depression. Job burnout presents a significant challenge for everyone supporting the burned out individual. The challenge of burnout can be especially taxing for creative, goal-oriented people. When these p ... Life changing Attitude by John Giagkiozis Do you really believe that there is anything in this world that is impossible? I’m 21 and I had to grow up at accelerated rates because of multiple circumstances in my life. One of them was the divorce of my parents, my mother had no money and my father didn’t seem to care about me and my brother. And to make it clear “no money” means that we didn’t have enough even for food. Now, I’m not saying these things so you can feel pity for me. I’m telling you because somehow I managed to survive, I fo ... A Dream is Just a Dream ... or is it? by Laurie Hayes Some people dismiss dreams as nonsense, thought patterns running amuck as we sleep because we are not conscious and in a position to control them. Others believe that a dream is meant to serve a purpose and provide information that our conscious mind is unable to recognize. So many believe that dreams are meant to serve and guide, that numerous books, websites, workshops, etc. have been created on the very subject of dream interpretation. Although I have had some dreams that have made no sense w ... The Law of Attraction - Make it Work for You by Laurie Hayes The Law of Attraction responds to whatever vibration you are sending out into the Universe. You will receive more of what you are vibrating whether it is desired or not. This law does not decide whether what it is returning is good for you or not, it simply responds to your vibration. This morning I got up early because we received more snow last night and I decided to take advantage of the crisp air and opportunity to be alone for a while. I bundled up and headed out with my snow scraper in han ... Goal Setting - The Importance of Stern Resolve! by Richard Gorham Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page...on the first of January let every may straighten himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past. - Henry Ward How often do you see people who have succumbed to their current, sometimes ill-perceived, circumstances? In extreme cases perhaps these people drink too much or take some other home remedy to self-medicate their feelings of inadequacy and/or hop ... The Procrastinating Perfectionist by Pete Grand Are you a procrastinating perfectionist? I once read an article dealing with the fear of failure and success. The author described it as the following: “The curse of the procrastinating perfectionist”. Boy did I ever associate myself with that statement. I was the kind of guy who would always wait around for the perfect opportunity to come by without attempting anything less than perfect. Did that opportunity ever come by? Not at all... In fact only once I realized what I was doing did opportuni ... Banishing Your Critic by Lynn Cutts Whenever we start a new creative project, it's always a little scary. We're never sure how it's going to turn out. And that element of uncertainty is just the thing we need to get our Critic up and hollering at us. The Critic also comes to visit when we start thinking about tomorrow's work, or yesterday's work, or the end result, instead of what we are doing here and now. Sometimes, it comes calling immediately after a visit with a well-meaning friend or relative, or when we are hungry or tired. ... Why Online Dating is So Tough For Men by Kenneth Scott Online dating has become increasingly popular over the past several years. Every year millions of men turn to internet dating in an effort to meet more women without risking face-to-face rejection. Unfortunately, internet dating doesnt work very well for most men because the odds are so heavily against them. According to a November, 2003 study by Jupiter Research, men are four times more likely than women to subscribe to an online dating site and twice as likely to browse, post, or respond to a ... Playing With Mindfulness: Sneaking In The Back Door by Maya Talisman Frost I often meet people who say things like, I've been working with mindfulness for over twenty years. My response is always this: Oh, you poor thing! Have you tried *playing* with mindfulness? It's very effective, and much more fun! They tend to look at me like I'm some kind of kook, and then ask the million-dollar question: How can you play with mindfulness? Glad you asked.... We tend to think of mindfulness as something that develops only after years of dedicated meditation. We must sit for ho ... If I Don't Have Anything on My Calendar, I'll Look for a Job! by Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A. I actually had someone say that to me today as I was in a thrift store. She is one of the employees and has been cut to two days a week of employment. I invited her to a job seekers workshop that will presented, free, this coming week at a public agency. The comment, above, WAS her response. I didn't know what to say next. I offered to drive her home after the workshop. She has no car. Again, there was no response to my offer. I've had others respond to job seeking in- formation in a similar ... Completing Unpleasant Tasks by Lynn Cutts We all have tasks we don't enjoy doing, but they have to get done. Whether it's doing our taxes, cleaning out the refrigerator, or filing that pile of papers, these are the chores we dread. So we end up putting them off over and over again, until the To File pile threatens to avalanche onto the floor, or the science experiment in the back of the fridge develops legs and walks away. Usually when this happens, we get mad at ourselves, which makes us dislike the job even more. We accuse ourselves o ... Time is Gold by Kenia Morales Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you. Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967) How do you spend most of your spare time? Do you sit in front of the TV for hours? Do you speak on the phone for long periods of time? Do you sit outside and watch your neighbors come and go? Do you play computer games? I personally do not believe that any of the activities I mentioned above are wrong. To ... The True and Magnificent Power of Giving by Michael Lee You've probably heard of the popular saying It's better to give than to receive. But do you actually know what hidden power lies within this magnanimous act known as giving? When you give something from your heart without expecting anything in return, you release a powerful force that will trigger your good deed to bounce back to you in amazing, and sometimes unusual ways. I firmly believe that whatever you impart to others will come back to you a hundred fold. You are doing yourself a big fav ... Change Your Inner Conversations to Control Your Anger by Dr. Tony Fiore Every Holiday season Vicki found herself angry and silently seething at her older sister, Susie, and mother as they were merrily chatting about Susie’s successful life. Thanksgiving was no exception. Vicki had to sit stoically while Mom praised Susie’s new house, her recent promotion at work and how well the grandchildren were doing. Not once did their mother or Susie ask about Vicki’s life in a way that sounded sincere to Vicki. As a result, Vicki was feeling ignored. Sensing this, sister Susie ... Real Solutions For Combating Extreme Shyness by Royane Real Most people experience some degree of shyness from time to time, depending on the situation. In fact, only about 7% of the population claims that they never feel shy. For the rest of us, shyness can range from being an occasional, minor inconvenience, to being a major problem.
