A Relationship Book in the Children Section

Shel Silverstein is noted for his children’s books. You don’t usually think of a great relationship book coming from a children’s author.
The Missing Piece Meets the Big O
This is actually the second in a series. The first book is The Missing Piece.
If you have been dating for a while, you will relate to some of the tactics the missing piece uses and may even be able to put names to the various someone’s the missing piece meets.
I don’t want to give the whole book away, it is a fast read with large, simple pictures like a children’s book should have. If you don’t want to buy it, at least check it out from your local library. I bet they have it — in the Children’s section.
The Rules of The Game

A couple of weeks ago you learned how to find your passions with The Passion Test. Then last week you learned how to manifest what you really desire with I’m Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams. This week I am introducing a book that changes all the rules of the game. Busting Loose From the Money Game: Mind-Blowing Strategies for Changing the Rules of a Game You Can’t Win
by Robert Scheinfeld is a revolutionary book about the way things really work. This book goes a step beyond the Law of Attraction.
Where the Law of Attraction still works within a frame work of game rules that we (human kind) have agreed to on a subconscious level, Busting Loose tells you how to change the rules altogether. When you are free from the constraints of the rules you start to create your own rules. I am not talking about break the law type rules. These rules are at a much deeper level. Many of them sound familiar to the Law of Attraction crowd:
There is a limited supply of money
Money flows in and out and is separate from you so that you have to go out and get it.
You must work harder or smarter to increase your supply of money
Even though the Law of Attraction also refutes these rules, Robert Scheinfeld takes it a step further. He explains how this game is designed so that you can’t win and that is why you must change the rules. Robert Scheinfeld shows how none of the beliefs and assumptions that are the basis for these money rules are true.
Then he leads you through the land of OZ where you will see that this is not just a Money Game but a Human Game. The steps for creating the new rules is explained in this very interesting easy to read book. Maybe these are the changes that will be coming to the human race in 2012 and beyond and it can start with you if you read this book.
Are You In The Middle Of Major Changes?

Did you ever have an idea come to you and then you start seeing it pop up in other ways?
I had an idea Saturday and wrote it on the cover of my TV Guide. Today I received a newsletter from Jen Blackert that really highlighted it. Since I am seeing it pop up I must write about it.
What popped into my mind on Saturday was a feeling of everyone jockeying for a new position. I know so many people who are in the process of changing their careers. Some people are changing their whole lives in the process. (I know 4 people in seminary or in the process for going to seminary). I am talking about major life changes.
It just reminded me of a horse race. Seeing the jockeys moving the horses around, trying to get in a better position. But I don’t see the object as winning the race but to just reposition themselves.
Jen Blackert wrote “I’m sure you sense that there is a monumental shift taking place in the world.” She goes on to say that even though this shift may have you concerned “The Truth is this shift is poised for major light” (meaning it is for the good).
So even if the world around you is in turmoil there is hope and I do believe things will work themselves out.
The holiday season is a time for visiting relatives. This is what we did one day last week. One of our relations took us out to eat and then drove us around town to show us the sites. But guess where we ended up. Visiting our long gone relatives in the cemetery.
It just struck me as odd. Here we were trying to visit with two of my husband’s relatives and we end up in a graveyard. Those that have past on are not really there.
Graveyards can be interesting. I saw a grave of a one day old (a come and see); saw many who had been in the military. It is just that I think the time would be better spent talking to the living and if they want to reminisce and tell stories of the departed, that is fine. But walking around a cold graveyard just does not strike me as quality visiting especially when your time is limited.
I know the “Day of the Dead” is real big in some cultures and that makes more sense as that day is specially set aside and every one knows they will be at the cemetery to honor those who passed on and also to tell their children stories about their relatives.
But when I visit the living, I want to find out what is going on in their life, how they are doing. Tromping around a cold cemetery seems like a strange use of limited time, we know these people are dead and they are buried there so why do we need to go and see the grave. It is not like they are hanging around there waiting to commune with us. Oh well, maybe it is to get in touch with our mortality. These relations are getting older and they may be thinking of the day they will be joining those in the graveyard.
I wrote about reincarnation yesterday. Today I wanted to tell you about a contract between my husband Paul and I that I believe we made before coming to this plane.
When I started dating, I always matched my stride to whomever I was going out with, checking to see if they matched. After going out with many boyfriends, I went out with Paul. We had the same stride! That had never happened before. Now this is not something I would base a marriage on but Paul was different. All my other boyfriends lasted about 3 months then there was a mutual drifting apart. After 3 months with Paul, I knew I wanted to be with him the rest of my life.
There is another side to this story, Paul’s side. Before we met, I had decided to die my hair a dark auburn color (it is usually dishwater brown or dirty blond. Appetizing names right?) I then started to look for a new church. One that I visited and liked had an active singles group of which Paul was a member. So the first time Paul saw me I had red hair. He told me years later that he was looking for someone with red hair like I was looking for someone with the same stride.
Another interesting aspect is that both Paul and I were born in Virginia to Texas parents who moved back to Texas as soon as they could. My family moved to Houston when I was 3 ½ and Paul’s family took a more indirect route through Oklahoma before arriving in Texas. Virginia has always been important to me. People would call me a Texan and I would get very indignant and say, “No, I was a Virginian”.
We took a couple of vacations several years ago that took us through Virginia. Going into the State I had the overwhelming feeling that I was home. When we started heading back out, the closer to the State line we got the harder I cried. There was such grief at leaving and I did not know where it was coming from. This summer I had a past life reading that explained the connection to me. Now I know it was very important for me and for Paul to be born there.
I am the Now

We flew to Phoenix last week. While flying over New Mexico I had an insight.
I have been reading “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. I realized that I am who I am and will remain so, time does not figure in. In fact time has no relationship to who I am. Things that are time related, such as the future, creates worry, but I do not need to worry or consider time because I am who I am and will always be who I am until I decide to change who I am. That change will be an energetic change and does not have anything to do with time.
Let me clarify. There seems to be a narrow level of abundance that I live at. I don’t seem to go below that but have not risen much above it either. That is because that is who I am right now. So I have no need to fear going below that level, it just will not happen because that is not who I am. The future (Time) does not have anything to do with it. What does have to do with it is who I see myself as in my core being.
My abundance is tied to who I am, not the future. Who I am is a present and always consistent thing. I am the Now.
The trick is how to change who I am to who I want to be as the change must be deep and not superficial.
“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner spark of possibility into flames of achievement” — Golda Meir
We are made in our Makers image. To me that means – like our Maker, we have a desire to create. The important thing you can create is yourself. You have an inner spark of possibility; it just needs to be fanned.
To Practice This Thought: Create something this week. It can be a cake, a birdhouse or the first step to a new you, just fan that spark and see where it leads.
What Nutrients are our Foods Really Missing

June 19th, 2009 >> Nutrition, Uncategorized
Why is our food supply “suddenly” less nutritious than it use to be? We have been farming for thousands of years. Some areas in Europe have the same plots plowed up for hundreds of years. Why is it now that our crops suddenly have lost nutritional value? For the last hundred years we have even developed new farming techniques that are suppose to help preserve the soil, what is going on?
I think we are looking at the wrong area. I would like to see a nutritional study between crops grown on large US corporate farms and served in fast-food restaurant and crops grown on small family plots in China where the food is prepared at home and served to the Family. The one ingredient that is missing in our mass produced, hurry up and eat food is love.
Every thing carries a vibration: all foods, all emotions. Vibrations mix and can be beneficial to each other or detrimental. Crops grown in a family plot are grown with love and tender care, knowing that the fruit will be feed to family and friends. When the food is prepared in the home environment, it is prepared with love and maybe excitement. What do you get when you go to “Fast and Quick Bar-B-Q” down the street? You get meat that was butchered by a person that may have no concern for the animal, it is just a job. You get coleslaw and beans made with vegetables grown on large corporate farms where hired hands drive large machines through the fields in air-conditioned comfort with music and sometimes TVs blaring, distancing them from the crops below. You get cooks at the restaurant who have to make the same recipe day after day with no creativity and no direct contact with the ones who eat the food. Many of the people working at the restaurant are making minimum wages and are often not in the best emotional state (stressed, bored, angry, annoyed, bitter, discontented, frustrated, worried etc) and the vibration from these emotions goes directly into your food!
The vibrations of love, peace and joy also just makes food taste better. That is why the homegrown tomatoes taste so much better than the ones bought from the grocery store that were strip-mined in Texas.
