Dear Child, Hoping for peace will not make it happen. Life has been luxurious for most Americans. Now we are getting a view of how some of the rest of the world lives. How does one live with the realities of fear for survival and the basics of life? How does one live peacefully with bombs going off and the deaths of loved ones being real. It is time to take a serious look at what is important in life. Is it human life and dignity? Or is it the biggest house and the nicest car on the block? Hoping for peace will not make it happen. Action will. Instead of that family trip, give the money to a humanitarian relief effort either abroad or at home. Better yet, give of yourself, your time, your love, your heart. You will know peace and you will spread peace. All is well, Child of God. ~ Shari Rathman ~ This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it |

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you? How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched Jeopardy! on television? I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to lunch in a half hour?" She would gasp and stammer, "I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain." And my personal favorite: "It's Monday." She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect: We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Stevie toilet-trained. We'll entertain -- when we replace the living-room carpet. We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college. Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to," "I plan on" and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit." When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord. My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my hips with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy. Now... go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to...... not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting? Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply? When the day is done, Do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, We'll do it tomorrow and in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say "Hi"? You'd better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. When you run so fast to get somewhere, you miss half the fun of getting there. When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over. -- author unknown -- |

By
the time someone picks up the phone to call a healer, two steps have
occurred. First, they have decided something is awry in their life,
something is not as they want it to be; and second, they have decided to do
something about it. 
Developing
our intuition is not as difficult as it may seem. We all have it and it's
always working even without any effort on our part. Our challenge is to
recognize its powers and follow its directions. 
Why
heal the world if -- as Conversations with God declares -- every thing is
perfect just the way it is? There is really only one reason to do anything
-- wear the clothes we wear, drive the car we drive, join the group we join
-- and that is to decide who you are.
In
our role as parents, teachers, or caregivers, we watch as our children are
shaken up by the barrage of scary news involving death, bombs, enemies, and
the like. They are frightened and confused... 
Most
people's pictures of reality are fear-based and limiting, and do not serve
us. Yet we take them home and replicate them in our own lives, to the point
that we believe they're our own. Then we wonder why we, and the people we
know, are so unhappy.
