From the Hint of a Rainbow to......
by: Julie Jordan Scott
The grey sky of morning contained an ominous quality. The clouds were so thick they were almost tangible. Then I saw it. Faintly sandwiched between the clouds was the hint of a rainbow. Barely visible were the bands of color, with a straining, subtle expectancy as the dim colors arched upward. It was the beginnings of a rainbow. The hint of a possibility of something beautiful, magical and rare.
Was the rainbow becoming more of a rainbow? Or would it retreat?
Would all the pieces that need to come together to create a vibrant halo of color in the sky so the rainbow would flourish, or would one of the factors jump out of balanc (read full article) |

"Think" And Grow Poor
by: Dr. Larry Stepanowicz
Has anyone "rattled your cage" lately? You remember the phrase!
And you've certainly heard of 'Think and Grow Rich,' the success classic written by Napoleon Hill back in 1928. Though it's sold countless copies over the years and is a perennial favorite that's highly recommended to each succeeding crop of would-be entrepreneurs, it's hardly made the kind of impact on the world a book of this nature is capable of making.
It kind of makes you wonder, do we think, or don't we?
That's a question worth considering!
Somewhere back in the 1600's, French philosopher Rene Descartes made his famous observation: Cogito, e (read full article) |

The Importance of Thanksgiving
by: David Leonhardt
Thanksgiving is the most important holiday of the year.
Oh, sure, Christmas is grand, and I know it has many, many fans. I'm not knocking Christmas, but Thanksgiving is more important. And Easter has its fans, too. Rebirth is a wonderful thing, but I still say Thanksgiving is more important. Yes, the kids might put in a good word for Halloween. I am sure they enjoy the costumes and the sugar overdose, but Thanksgiving is more important.
Why?
Because the two most important words in the English language are "Thank You". This is true for business success, for social pleasure, even for self-actualization.
For business success, a (read full article) |

Prioritize with Two Questions
by: Helen Ksypka
"Because there will always be something more to do, we need to consciously choose what we are doing."
-- Helen Ksypka
Why is it such a challenge to prioritize?
We have enough to-dos to last for a lifetime.
We tend to view every to-do as an immediate "must" do.
We've become desensitized to what's really important.
The first thing we need to realize is that we will never "catch up." There will always be something more to do because life doesn't stop. So it's all about making wise choices.
And how do we do that? By asking these two questions before tackling any to-do.
Do I need to do this now?
If I don't do this now, what are the co (read full article) |

Humble Riches
by: Deirdre McEachern
"We come equipped with everything we need to experience a powerful life full of joy, incredible passion, and profound peace. The difficult part is giving ourselves permission to live it." – Deborah Rosado Shaw
Summer is a great time to practice slowing down and re-connecting with what you enjoy most in life -- spending time appreciating nature, barbequing with old friends, or expressing yourself through a creative hobby such as painting or gardening. These are what I call the "humble riches" of life. They don't necessarily cost a lot of money but their "bang for your buck" in terms of your quality of life is huge.

Peruvian Artist Shares Why Preservation of Culture and Rituals Sacred To His Art
by: Ernesto Apomayta
My artistic endeavor have led me towards a personal sense of mission, because the visual arts are more than a passive representation of the life style and culture of the Incas, Aztecs, Mayas and Chinese of the Asian-pacific.
Through my work, I seek to preserve and stimulate an alternative vision to the modern industrialized twenty-first Century. Western culture has moved away from the serene life style that my ancestors lived. It is more important to recognize that we indigenous hold on to a distinct culture with other values other ways of seeking the world.

This Just Ain’t Good!
by: Gene Simmons
“Nope, this just ain’t good!” How many times in our lives have we had those or similar words bouncing around inside our skulls? Yeah, I’ve lost count, too!
There are usually only a few reasons these annoying words show up. Occasionally, it’ll be when we just run smack-dab into an “Oh Sh--! situation. You know what I mean. Accidents, diseases and a whole bunch of other stuff that seem to have popped up out of nowhere and suddenly we find ourselves up to our neck in swamp water with alligators nipping at our butts.
Now admittedly, some of these situations that seem to pop up out of nowhere are a normal result of the things we per (read full article) |

Think Positive: Using Affirmations to Create Health, Wealth and Beauty
by: Laura Turner
You’ve heard the buzzwords: Attitude is everything! Change your perspective! Have a positive outlook! But, can these words really change our future? And if so, how?
In my childhood and adolescence, I was skeptical. If my brother was born without being able to walk – how could my attitude or outlook change anything?
As I got older I continued to reflect on a youth seemingly filled with disappointments and doubts. And in talking to my friends and family, I realized I wasn’t alone; we’ve all experienced them. Then, I started taking a good, long look at myself and my feelings:

Career Education Options For Working Adults
by: Max Stein
Ask yourself this question: “Do I like what I do for a living?” If you answered “no”, what are you doing about it? Maybe you have a “good” job, but it’s not very rewarding to you personally. Maybe you have job with good pay, but bad hours or worse – a job with good hours, but bad pay. Perhaps you’ve just done your job for too many years, or are excited to work in some of the new careers that just weren’t available when you finished school.
Whatever the reason is for you wanting to switch careers, there are some practical considerations to take into account.

Savoring Moments Through Mindful Eating
by: Deva Ratnakara
We all eat. But how mindful are we of every bite we take?
Your mother always told you to slow down and taste your food. That’s great advice, especially when we find ourselves grabbing a quick snack on the run or eating a meal while driving. How we eat says as much about us as what we choose to eat.
We can learn a great deal by paying attention to our eating habits. Our appetites change depending on our moods. If we’re depressed, we may eat more than usual or we may lose our appetite completely. When we are consumed by an emotion such as anger or sadness, we may not be aware of our eating habits at all.
Paying attention to (read full article) |
