August-September 2005 Opening Comments A special Prayer for those affected by Hurricane Katrina I pray that comfort, love and healing go to the region where the hurricane hit and I continually hold Divine space for all those people who have been so deeply affected by the destruction and flooding. I envision this area bathed in Light; and I now call forth simple solutions to be found to assist in the aid and healing for all people involved. I ask that all those in need of food and housing, find resources and comfort during this difficult time of transition. I pray for the rescue and clean-up crews, that they may have strength, compassion and resilience to handle their difficult tasks. I pray that the right organizations provide assistance to the areas affected by the hurricane and they receive the financial support needed. I pray that peace and healing comes to Mother Earth; and that as our world shifts that it does so in the easiest and most harmonious way. I hold positive thoughts for the future and in so doing, bring in more peace for those in need and for us all Click here to donate to the Red Cross Katrina Fund Click here to donate to the American Humane Society Advertisement OurBestIdea.com Chakra Jewelry is specifically designed to care for your Chakra System.

Your family homestead reduced to toothpicks, Your family scattered, lost and possibly dead. Your pets, your life, your clothes, gone seemingly in an instant. Most of us cannot wrap our minds around a cataclysm of this magnitude entering our life. Yet for hundreds of thousands of people in the For many that may mean never returning to a place they called home, sometimes for generations. Opportunities for choice will abound as they re-gather their families, their belongings and begin to make a new life. New things will be acquired, new dishes, new clothes, new house, new job, and new life. And while there is life, there is the possibility that instead of being a victim of circumstance a choice can be made to become the architect of a new time of life. Where the mentality of a victim is cast away and life is lived by their own affirmative choices. To create a new reality. A cataclysm does not need to occur for you to have the choice to create a new reality. Each and every morning we wake up with a new page upon which to record our day. Our past shapes our beliefs and impacts our present, but each new day is just that, a new day. Will you spend it looking back at the past and mourning loss, perceived injustice, and sadness, or will you embrace your new day as a fresh start? With a host of new choices to make and a new design to create? Or will it be the sum of the same old, same old? Too many times the comfort of the same old same old wins the day. You go the same way to work each day. You buy the same flavor of coffee from Starbucks, you eat the same salad for lunch. Where is the joy and adventure in that? So tomorrow morning when you wake up, make a choice to create newness in your reality. Rise above the same old, same old. Don’t wait for a cataclysm to make the choice for you. Making your own choices and directing your life is a crucial component of designing the life you love to live.

Make a new plan today. Most middle aged people have not yet started saving for their retirement. If you have, great! Now increase the amount you are putting away by another 10%. If you are using your 401(k), maximize the contribution, I promise you will not miss the pre tax dollars you put away. If you do not have the opportunity to participate in a 401(k), put money in an IRA. A Roth IRA may be the right solution or a traditional IRA can work as well. $250.00 per month is the right amount to meet your goals for tax purposes. More is always better. If you are self employed, put away the maximum you can, look at the individual 401 K, or a SEP IRA, they have higher contribution limits. Whatever you do, start right away. Not planning for your retirement is one of the worst financial situations you can face. Call or email Dale for worry free solutions you can get started with today.

We frequently post articles of interest from various sources. This is an excerpt from the new article on aspartame on the Health page. A three-year Italian study recently showed that aspartame caused malignant brain tumors, leukemia, and lymphoma in rats - at "doses very close to the acceptable daily intake of humans." And if a substance is carcinogenic in rodents, that is accepted by scientists as a good predictor for the same result in humans.

Or your keys….and the list goes on. Paying attention to the details in your life makes a huge difference in the quality of the experience you have. This not only applies to the tangible things, but in your spiritual life as well. While you are meditating and concentrating on your breath, allow yourself to notice the details from the information received from Spirit. You may interpret most of what you receive from Spirit as an overview. But begin to work on training yourself to notice the details and you will get more from your experience. Quotes to help you flourish "Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success." "Keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final. ----------------------------------------------------------------- A Story for Inspiration Breakthrough Most of the flight from Life hands us cloudbanks of dark and dismal times, also. We may have some warning, as the pilot warned the passengers on the plane, or we may just hit the cloudbanks of life with a bang. Either way, the ride through them is usually bumpy and uncomfortable, to say the least. But the old saying that there is light at the end of the tunnel is so true. There is light after we ride through the cloudbanks of life. The question is, how do we weather the storm? Who do we put our trust in, as we face difficult times? Do we turn to a friend or write to Dear Abby for help? I hope we turn our eyes toward heaven, and ask our Creator, who created this universe, for guidance and help during the cloudy times we endure. Then, when we make the transition out of darkness into the wonderful light, we can be reminded that we had support all the while.
