Einstein and Miracles...
Here is a quote by Albert Einstein:
"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
So which is it for you?
Is everything a miracle or not?
In the series Joan of Arcadia Joan is playing down God's comments regarding a tree and how it is a miracle and God looks at Joan and says "so make a tree!"
How can any part of the world we live not be a miracle, including "YOU?"
Have a MIRACULOUS day!
With love,

Nonviolence...
I have the book "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD and have read parts of it...much left to read. It is a wonderful book that is filled with a great insight into communication.
Personally I would prefer the title read "peaceful communication" as it is my feeling that the inclusion of the word violent in fact requires violence to exist for the book to have meaning.
words do say much about our focus and i would prefer to focus on peaceful or kind communication.
there is a conference coming up toward the middle of october and i thought i would share it here:

Have an AMAZING day!

one of those moments...
breath, slowly in, slowly out...
so what is it i want to control, that i have no business thinking i can?
why do i ask this question, your thinking, because my chest is on fire and feels like a clamp is clamping down as the dull ache runs up my chest coming to rest in my throat..."stress"...isn't it great!
these moments aren't what they use to be. they use to be filled with emotion. physically it always seemed, at it's deepest, some object or possession of mine would be my sacrifice to the momentary release of anger and frustration.
i remember years ago, 19 or more i sacrificed a cassette recorder. a gift from my dad, i suppose i had several reasons for using it for the sacrifice. the poor cassetter player looked like it had gone through a trash compactor by the time i was finished.
the lesson i learned, i still had cassettes i wanted to listen to, and the whole process did little to change the reason for my upset.
so i will breath because progress is being made. sometimes things are just the way they are and choosing to flow with them can make all the difference in the world.
breath, slowly in, and slowly out.
take care.
with love,
