Teach Your Children
We teach our children that 1 +1= 2 and Paris is the capital of France, yet we never teach our children who and what they are. We don't tell them that they are a unique creation of God. Distinct from all of Gods other creatures yet connected in His universal plan. We didn't explain to them, " No one looks like you or thinks like you. No one has your exact potential for health or love." No one experiences the world quite like you and perhaps this is what makes our human communication so difficult. We don't teach our children that they can do or be anything they choose to be provided they are willing to work for it. We don't teach them that at times they will feel as though they failed but in reality they just learned a way that did not work for them. Perhaps the next one will. We don't teach them to love and honor other creatures simply because they are also created by God and because they are also unique and perfect in their structure and design. We fail to teach our children that it's OK to disagree and that disagreements are part of life. All of Gods creatures perceive things in their unique way so differences will abound. We should teach our children not only to honor these differences but celebrate them as the world would be quite a boring and monotonous place if we all perceived it the same. Yes 1 + 1= 2 is important but isn't it equally important to understand the mathematical equation of what makes you you? We are a three part being of body, mind, and spirit. Failure to nurture any aspect of our being causes a loss of harmonious balance. To fully accept our uniqueness in Gods plan you need to become one with the power within you that gives you your Godliness, your purpose, your life. Perhaps if we also taught our children this, then the honor, love, and acceptance we so desperately need and desire would become available to us all
Five Habits For Living In The Moment.....
Dear Friends, Don't take your life for granted. Cherish it. Create moments daily that you can look forward to. Living in the moment means being fully present, connected and focused on what's happening around you and through you. Here are five habits you can practice that will help you enjoy your moments more:
1. Do one thing at time. It seems multi-tasking is second nature to most of us these days. We eat, watch TV and hold a conversation simultaneously. We drive and talk on the phone. We juggle five work projects at a time. In the process, we often miss the opportunity to truly give our full attention to anything. This week, try focusing on one thing at a time and notice how productive you can be and how much more peaceful you feel.
2. Give people your full attention. Just as multi-tasking can cause you to feel disconnected from any one task, living an overdriven, overloaded lifestyle can also cause you to disconnect from the people in your life. This week, make a point of stopping everything else you are doing to give your full attention to people when you are talking to them. Look into their eyes and listen.
3. Bask in the beauty of nature. Spring is here. Go outside! Enjoy the sunshine. Smell the flowers. Enjoy the upbeat melodies of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the breeze. Enjoying God's creation rejuvenates your mind, body and spirit.
4. Practice the art of doing nothing. One of the best ways to live in the moment is to be still. At least once every day, quiet your mind and stop racing from one activity to the next. Have a seat. Rest, relax, rejuvenate and get your chill on. Even when your body stops moving, you may find that doing nothing causes your mind to race even faster. That's OK. Keep practicing.
5. Say what you feel. Tell your loved ones you love them. Let people know when you appreciate them. Don't hold back. Be honest when you need to, even if it's not pleasant. Live in the moment by not putting off for tomorrow what needs to said today! My challenge to you is: Use these five ideas to live in the moment every day this week. Journaling assignment: What important moments am I missing because I am too busy, distracted or overloaded to enjoy them? What will I do about it in the next week?Until next time ...Nurse Pat

More About Love
"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident."
How To Live A Healthy Life
How would it feel to rise early each day with abundant energy and a laser-sharp mind . . . completely free of aches and pains . . . lean and perfectly toned?Imagine your immune system in peak condition, protecting you from illness and disease.How would it feel to look in the mirror and see yourself at your ideal weight?This can be much more than an exercise in imagination. You can experience this level of fitness and the profound sense of well-being that comes with it -- and you can accomplish it this year.Not only that . . . you can do it while still eating foods that you enjoy and engaging in exercise that brings you pleasure.Here are 10 things you should do to make this the healthiest year of your life. Make these choices a habit and you'll feel the difference within days. Within a week, you'll see the difference. And within a few months, you will find yourself staring in the mirror at a vision of health and fitness.
1. Drink plenty of pure water.Drinking enough water strengthens the immune system, promotes weight loss, improves the skin, and carries waste from the body. Drink a quart of water each day for every 50 pounds of body weight. Drink spring water from a trusted source or tap water that has been filtered to remove chlorine, lead, and fluoride.
2. Increase your physical activity.Many of the diseases we are prone to are the result of a sedentary (see "Word to the Wise," below) lifestyle as well as an unhealthy diet. Your body is meant to be used and will quickly deteriorate if it's not. Physical activity should be as high a priority as eating and sleeping. Do the things you enjoy, but be sure to engage in some form of aerobic exercise at least five days a week and some form of resistance exercise at least two or three times per week.
3. Limit your carbohydrate intake.Learn about the glycemic index and avoid carbohydrates that are too high on it. This includes potatoes, corn, grain products, baked goods, sugars, and other sweets. Stick to low- and mid-range glycemic-index foods, such as non-starchy vegetables, greens, nuts, berries, beans, and fruits.
4. Consume good sources of natural fats.Completely avoid any products made with hydrogenated oils. Start reading the ingredients on the labels of the foods you eat. You'll be surprised at where these "artery bombs" are hiding. Replace vegetable oils with olive oil and organic unrefined coconut oil. Increase your intake of omega-3 fats found in fish oil, grass-fed meat, walnuts, olives, organic eggs, and flaxseeds.
5. Eat protein at every meal.Your body needs protein every day. A lack of protein sends your brain the signal that food is scarce and prompts the body to protect itself from this "famine" by storing excess fat. If you're a vegetarian, rice protein powder is an excellent source of pure protein with no carbohydrates to raise insulin levels. Also consider spirulina, a microalgae that is 60% protein.
6. Eat a natural diet.Whenever possible, insist on organic fruits, vegetables, and berries. Organic produce is more nutritious, free of harmful pesticides, and it even tastes better than conventional produce. Don't believe it? Have you ever eaten a perfect home-grown tomato? If so, compare that with the taste of a mass-produced tomato that looks beautiful but tastes like a rubber ball. Also, choose grass-fed meats, organic eggs and poultry, and wild-caught fish known to be free of contaminants.
7. Eliminate artificial sweeteners.As bad as sugar can be, artificial sweeteners are worse. The worst offender is aspartame, marketed as Nutrasweet or Equal. It has been responsible for more adverse reactions reported to the FDA than all other foods and additives combined. It has been linked to tumors, seizures, headaches, altered brain function, chronic fatigue, optic-nerve damage, and a host of other maladies. Avoid Splenda as well. For an all-natural, no-calorie sweetener, use Stevia extract.
8. Get enough rest.While the body is at rest, your brain organizes memories, muscles are repaired and restored, and the immune system is rejuvenated. The right amount of sleep will boost creativity, improve your mood, and even decrease your chances of obesity. For optimum health, most people need seven hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
9. Expose your skin to sunlight.There are numerous health benefits associated with moderate sun exposure -- and despite what you may have heard or read to the contrary, populations with the most exposure to sunlight actually exhibit the lowest rates of cancer. The key is to never allow your skin to burn -- which means that it's generally best to enjoy the sun before 10 a.m. and after 2 p.m. when UV rays are lower. If your lifestyle does not allow you to be in the sun for a short time each day, consider supplementing with cod liver oil. Among its other outstanding benefits, the cod liver oil will compensate for the vitamin D you may be lacking as a result of not getting enough sun.
10. Take a few sensible supplements.You should get most of your nutrients from high-quality whole foods, but any nutritional program can be enhanced by supplementing with appropriate vitamins and minerals.The road to total health and wellness is not about making a single decision that will take you to your goal. It is about making many small decisions every day. Decisions that become habits. Habits that lead to success.It's about taking a few minutes a day to plan what to eat and when to exercise.It's about choosing a bottle of water when your mouth is craving a soft drink.It's about sitting down to a salad when you're tempted to snack on chips.It's about going out for a 30-minute jog instead of hitting the couch after work.It's about waking up an hour earlier to get in a workout before you start your day.If you commit to making these small, positive decisions and following the plan laid out above, you will very quickly begin to experience changes in your life.As Michael Masterson often says, "Your life is a blank page of limitless possibilities." And this applies -- regardless of your past achievements or present limitations -- whether we're talking about your ability to attain wealth . . . or wisdom . . . or health.No matter what your age . . . or prior bad habits . . . or how overweight and unhealthy you might feel at the moment, you can attain a peak level of health and fitness. And when you do, you will notice that your thinking is improved . . . you will have more creativity and energy to pursue your goals . . . you will feel more confident and in control of your life . . . your relationships will get better . . . your success will be an inspiration to others . . . and you will gain the respect of those around you.

Why Look To The Web For Love?
Why look to the web for love? Can the web be trusted to deliver that Mr. or Mrs. Right, who has eluded your life so far? Well, for a lot of people who have found Mr. Right on the web, the answer is a resounding yes! Others, however, are far more skeptical. So we examined the pros and cons of online dating and came up with the following:ProsNo InsecurityFor many people, the thought of going out to meet someone in real life is simply daunting. For some people, even if they met somebody they liked the look of, the thought of actually going up to talk to them is simply too much. What would he/she say? How would the other person react? For a lot of people, the web is simply a godsend. They can simply log on to a chat room or personals site, and be themselves. You are not meeting someone face to face, there really even does not have to be any verbal communication. It is all done with text through a computer, or through the online personals.Get to know a personThrough the Web, you have a great chance to get to know a person for who he/she really is before the physical aspect is even in question. With online relationships, there has to be communication. This interchange of ideas allows people to really get to know each other.Not limited by timeOn the web, you can log on at any time and find someone to chat with. For people who are extremely busy and don't have time for bar surfing or socializing, it is much more convenient to be able to log on when he/she had only 30 minutes or so to spare.Not limited geographicallyIt is a big world and there are a lot of people searching for love. In looking for love online, you are not just limited to friends of the girl next door or your workplace.ConsNot limited geographicallyOne of the biggest pros of online dating also happens to be one of the biggest cons. Geography! With the web, it is very possible that you will meet and fall for someone who lives an incredible distance away from you. The chances of this happening can be reduced if you look for love in the personals, rather than chat rooms.Are they an "Axe Murderer"?How do you know the person is being real on the other end of the computer? We all hear stories about people who went out and met an Internet lover who turned out to be an "Axe Murderer". The simple fact is that you can meet some nasty people out there, so be careful. However, if you take your time and talk to someone for long enough, it is very difficult to totally fake your feelings. Also, whose to say the person you met at the party was to be trusted?So, why look to the Web for love? Because it allows you the freedom to find someone on your own terms. You don't have to be fake to impress someone. The more honest you are, the better your chances of finding someone who loves you for you. As always, there are risks, so be careful.
Are You Ready To Love Again?
Our love lives can be a series of ups and downs, a romantic roller coaster of anticipated thrills and unexpected drops, some leaving our little hearts squashed all over the pavement below. After any particularly turbulent and emotional ride, as we attempt to quickly distance ourselves from the machinery of so much pain and uncertainty, many can be heard to swear off of romance altogether.Time heals all woundsWe all need time to recover from any unsuccessful romantic relationship. Acknowledging our feelings, understanding our behavior and accepting the unhappy outcome are all necessary steps for letting go and moving on. The pace at which we move through these steps is unique to each of us.While one week may be enough time for some people and in some situations, one year may prove too short for others. And there is no one time of absolute readiness, as there is no guarantee that memories of past loves won't occasionally seat themselves behind us. While it is in our nature to persevere, in spite of our fears about the ensuing ride, when reentering the dating world, timing is everything. Signs you aren't ready:If you aren't sure you're ready to date again, you aren't alone. It's often harder to pin down an exact point of readiness than it is to observe a lack of readiness.You probably aren't ready to date again if:You have maintained any sexual relationship with your ex.You still live with your ex, even platonically.You are still wearing a ring, carrying a photo, or defining yourself as part of a couple.You are stalking, following, harassing or frequently thinking about your ex.You continue to harbor overwhelming negative feelings about your ex.You continue to cry or be angry about the circumstances of your last relationship.What are your motivations?To assess your romantic readiness, consider your motives for wanting to date again. A love affair is not a panacea for all that ails you. Before you can find, form and maintain a happy and healthy relationship, you must first heal yourself. If you feel poisoned and victimized by circumstances and life choices, you must learn to make changes and live better.These generally aren't the right reasons to date:Everyone else at work is married and you want to fit in.A wife/husband would greatly improve your financial situation.You're unhappy with your life, feel empty, and want someone to fill you up.Finally, your emotional stamina may come into question when getting back into the dating game, since even casual dating can come with its ups and downs. Before you venture out among other eligible and interested singles, you may want to prepare yourself for the romantic realities awaiting you.Seize the dayYou're probably ready to date if you feel capable of facing any of the following:Being rejected when asking for a dance, phone number or date.Answering questions about your last relationship.Navigating misunderstandings and disagreements.Working through the various issues that are bound to come up.Rejecting someone honestly and kindly.Identifying, accepting and admitting strong feelings for someone new.Allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable, and to one day love and be loved.Whether you decide you're ready to date again or not, go at your own pace. The roller coasters continue to run and there a plenty of us waiting to board. Be patient; someone is saving a seat for you right now.
"Some Enchanted Evening"
A Soulful Relationship
If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. Ask this of yourself, ask this of your mate.If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it.An African proverb states, 'Before you get married, keep both eyes open,and after you marry, close one eye.' Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't letlust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a lowself-esteem make you blind to warning signs.Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults is not really important.Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws,vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious.If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve,you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thingbother you. But know when it is not acceptable and/or wrong.You and your mate have many different expectations,emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths.You are two unique individuals who have decided to share a life together.Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do youbring out the best of each other? Do you compliment and compromise witheach other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bringto the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, pastmistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her.You can't make someone love you or make someone stay.If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and 'a life', you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.Manipulation, control, jealousy, deceitfulness, neediness, andselfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving andlasting relationship.Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be ina relationship.Q.What keeps a relationship strong? Answer: Communication, intimacy (not sex), trust, consideration, a sense of humor,sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or childrenand daily exchanges (a meal, a shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch,a note), sharing common goals and interests.Leave a nice message on their voice mail or send a nice email for no reason exceptbecause you love them and are thinking of them.Growth is important.Grow together, not away from each other, givingeach other space to grow without feeling insecure.Insecurity and selfishness are not a win win in relationships.Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can't always be together.Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment.Don't try to control one another. Learn each other's family situation.Respect his or her parents regardless. Don't put pressure on each other for material goods.Remember for richer or for poorer.If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect,dishonesty, and pain will replace the passion."Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.The grass withers, the flowers fades, but the word of God stands forever.Isaiah 40:8.Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight? You should always try to be a little more kind to each other thannecessary.The difference between 'United' and 'Untied' is where you putthe 'I'.Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but bythe moments that take our breath away.
Relationships
Ladies, if your man is not communicating with you about his feelings, you have a time bomb ticking in your relationship, and probably experiencing some anxiety in how to proceed.
This is similar to the current foreign policy of the Bush Administration where they claim it’s wrong to speak with your enemies. When countries don’t communicate with each other verbally, each side is able to conger up wild theories regarding the other, escalating the animosity until they go to war. It’s the same with relationships, just, normally, on a less violent scale.
In general, men have a tendency to think revealing what they feel inside is being feminine. There’s this obsession with comparing what they believe a `real man’ is supposed to be versus being true to ones’ self. The idea has often been formed by images on television and movies, in addition to what peers and family believe. These ideas are often distortions of masculinity. Secure men define their own masculinity.
When you don’t know your man, he can appear moody because you don’t know why he’s behaving the way he is. A number of women are turned on by this behavior only later finding they have no emotional connection.
What’s the motivation behind it? Choose a time with him to sit down and discuss a few things. If he refuses to do this, I would consider this a deal breaker in your relationship. No matter how much you love the guy, if he isn’t willing to have you ask questions about how he’s feeling inside, there isn’t much to keep that relationship together. You will always be an outsider with sex being the only closeness you have.
Behavior like anger, selfishness, jealousy, possessiveness, etc. are items a woman/man has a right to ask questions for understanding. This is how you get to know each other. When behavior doesn’t match what someone is saying, it’s time to question that behavior. When a loved one cannot explain their behavior, it’s often a sign of conflicting and/or invalid beliefs, and calls for further examination.
For the umpteenth time: TRUE LOVE IS ALLOWING YOUR MATE TO BE WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE, EVEN IF IT MEANS NOT HAVING THEM IN YOUR LIFE.
I’ve had a few people ask me, JUST HOW DO YOU PULL THAT OFF? The answer is, DATE FOR FUN! That means you don’t date with expectations and/or pre-conceived ideas about what’s supposed to transpire, but you wait to experience what happens, and how it feels to be in the moment with that person. As long as you are judging or comparing this person with an ideal or a person you admire, you’re not able to see the person you’re with, clearly. It’s all about how you feel in the moment. Dating then becomes a fun sifting process of who naturally fits your flow in life.
There will be things that people do that you don’t like. But we each have things we can live with and things we can’t. The key is being able to distinguish between the two. We tend to love everything about someone when we first fall for him/her. It’s over time that those things you found endearing later feel like an infringement on your happiness. Why does this happen? Because you didn’t know who and what you are! So you have only a small idea of what you truly want.
When you truly know yourself, you’re acquainted with your likes and dislikes, in addition to your strengths and weakness. Understanding what your emotions say about who you are. Discover, explore, and express your passions (they establish a path in life tailor made for you), meet the challenges in your life head on, understand and realize Spiritual Law. When you realize how the forces of the Universe operate, you put yourself in the flow of those forces adding power to your actions. Creating a greater power in the mate you can pull or attract to you.
If a person loves you, wouldn’t they want you to be who and what you are if that made you happy? This is what we all want but often don’t realize it, due to a lack of self knowledge. But it’s in knowing how important it is to be who and what you are, that you’re able to understand and realize that’s how you truly love another. Remember understand is grasping a principle with your mind. Realizing something moves you to take action.
With that sensitivity you can easily feel a person who goes with your flow. It makes dating a sifting process to that person you can flow with. Most times people are so desperate for having a mate, virtually anything that comes along is good enough for immediate satisfaction. Truth is, that happens out of ignorance of who and what you are.
Questioning the behavior of a potential long time love is a great way to understand who and what they are. Too many women let men off the hook just to have a guy in their life. If you like temporary rides with little substance, then take that route. But if you’d like to skip some of the unnecessary journeys of romance, where we often repeat the same mistakes, GET TO KNOW YOU FIRST BEFORE LOOKING FOR A MATE! OR JUST DATE FOR FUN AS A MEANS TO GETTING TO KNOW YOUR POTENTIAL WHATEVER!
QUESTION EVERYTHING! THAT'S WHERE THE TRUTH RESIDES.
