Movies......they are a favorite past-time to many. It's a good way to find humor, forget the day's headaches, destress, have quality time with someone, enjoy your own quiet time and have a cry. There are so many subjects of movies out there and each can help to make us feel better in some way. We can be super heros, watch our fantasy relationship/dream come to life, get lost in some animated surreal character with our kids. Whatever the subject, most movies have some type of drama or adventure to them.
I, myself, just watched a movie that I enjoyed very much. It's a 2007 movie called catch and release. It has two of my favorites actors in it (Jen Garner and Tim Olyphant). I won't go into it in full detail, but I'll give you the basic idea. It's about four male friends. All of which have clicked and have become best friends. Each is very different in uniqueness and brings different aspects out in each other and they still have a blast with each other. One friend becomes engaged (in steps Jen Garner to the picture). The guys love and adore her. She becomes just one of the guys and they all get along great. Fishing is a favorite past-time of the guys and there was a bachelor fishing party planned, when tragedy strikes and affects the five people mentioned above.
What happens next is just an amazing tale. It makes you think just how well do we know each other, what secrets remain hidden - meaning do we always tell every little detail about our pasts? Some things we forget or are buried and we just never give it a thought. Anyway, back to the movie, it is a wonderful story based on each of these people, what happens to them, what they exerience in their journeys, how they interact and mingle with each other and other people brought into their lives. There is humor, healing, dignity, braveness and love. You'll end up adoring the characters, rooting them on and have laughs in between. There is a surprise or two where you'll be like....ut oh.....but the way things are dealt with is very honorable. These are caring individuals who will go through some lengths but are triumphant in their struggles. Oh, and Juliette Lewis also stars in this amazing tale. Should you chose to watch it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you are looking to get lost and forget your struggles and worries for just a short period of time, this is a great movie to get lost in.
Brightest blessings.

Support is greatly needed for a great cause!
DONATIONS NEEDED FOR AUSTIN LINCOLN! YOUR HELP, WILL GREATLY BE APPRECIATED.
AUSTIN LINCOLN is 9 years old, with the mind of a 2 1/2 year old boy. Born 1999, Austin has very little speech and has a habit of wondering off and has heated fits. Children with autism live in a world where they participate in ritualistic and repetitive behaviors which eventually cause stimulation and results in meltdowns. The assistance dogs are trained to gently interrupt these behaviors so the child can move beyond the behavior. The dog will also give warning to when Austin will be taking a fit and when he is at school, the dog will warn his care takers of any dangers such as Austin leaving the school grounds or hurting himself. I am a proud participant of this group. THIS GROUP WAS FORMED TO HELP RAISE FUNDS SO WE CAN GET AN AUTISM ASSISTANCE DOG FOR AUSTIN. The mother of Austin, Elizabete Lincoln, is a friend of mine. The cost needed to raise is $29,000 which is a lot of money.
When the dog is ready, they will have to travel to Melbourne so Austin can meet the dog and they can train the family (and Austin) to care for his new dog. Please join this important cause and add all your friends and if you find you can, please donate towards this cause. We are reaching for the stars. No matter how small the amount, it all is greatly appreciated and it all counts. If you have a website, feel free to advertise my link for this group so many more can join and support this cause. All donations I receive will be transferred to Elisabete Lincoln via PayPal. Please check out my link and webpage by clicking here or by selecting a denomation below. Your generosity is much appreciated! PayPal accepts all forms/methods of payment. All prices are in U.S. dollars.

The day the earth stood still.
Movies.....everyone loves them at one time or another. They have a way to speak to us. This 2008 version has some differences from the original 1951 version, but both versions are very good in exacting a message.
Now whether you believe in UFO's and other life out in the very vast and infinite universe or not, the projected message is powerful as to what is happening to Mother Earth. We have much more technology today, powerful telescopes and machines with camera's to see other planets, and great minds who specialize in science. I watched a show on the history or discovery channel the other night about life on other planets and how scientists are discovering that yes, it's very very possible. By life, I am not speaking of human beings. I am talking about various cells and anti bodies that can survive in tar like substances (even though we believe that water is the essence of all life) and some cells can survive in gases and other different types of possibilities.
Back to the movie. It speaks of problems surrounding mother earth. These problems are caused by yep, none other than us. The pollutants, holes in ozone layers, smog and how destructive humans are not only to the planet but also to each other. The movie brings up excellent points and we are seeing things happen at a more rapid pase. Extreme dry weather in some places which cause fires to rage, extreme rain in other areas to cause terrible floods, the melting of our glaciers at an alarming rate and the rise of sea levels are just a few. We may experience more tornados, hurricanes, tsunami's, earth quakes......So what are we to do? Gas, oil, electric companies are rich, while our wallets, purses and earth suffer. If we keep going like this, what future do our children and grand-children have to look forward to? Their world will be consisting of the horror of the movie the day after tomorrow (2004). Many species will evaporate as if they were the fabled unicorn.
I do not know the answers and what we should do, but I know it does ponder on my mind. What could it hurt to get our officials to think of alternatives and solutions to the problem. Show these to the President. Some states have started making changes with rails like subways and buses. All states need to participate in this change not just two or three. If we lead, perhaps other countries will see this threat also and take it more seriously. They do have amazing and brillant scientists also. We all have contributed to this problem and it will take us all to help with the solution.

Relationships....your perception of them.
Welcome everyone. This subject (relationships) has been plaguing many these days. It's a subject that is constantly coming up from my clients and is blogged about very frequently and has been for months now. It's far more popular then any other subject or situation, so it seems. Lately, it seems that many people are becoming obsessed over thoughts, worries, actions and concerns of another and what this person is thinking and doing. It totally is consuming them and has reached a point where it is just about all they think about and are concerned with. Hello, there are other duties in life that are being ignored. Some of these duties just can not be ignored or forgotten. It's gotten to the point where I am so concerned about this subject that I am pulled and compelled to write about it. It's now getting out of hand. It's time to snap out of this. It is so not healthy.
What you are forgetting about is you. You should be first and foremost the important one. Where do you stand in all of this, besides in confusion and hurt? If you do not take care of yourself, who suffers? Who will take care of you, if not you? Do you have children being affected? What about your job? Are your friendships suffering because all you do is obsess about this other person? Like what is not happening between you two and what is ocurring with this person and someone else or the other interest? Stop this. It's time to get to the root of the problem, which many of you will not like hearing. You. Most likely, you will target me for the anger/angst you feel and fully knowing this, it's a chance I'm willing to take for your well being. There won't be anything that you can say that I haven't heard already. Please understand that I am not trying to upset/stress you anymore than what you already are, no, no, no, far from it, but to help you find balance and understanding. If you are ready to open to another perspective and really look at why the relationship(s) are not showing satisfactory conclusions, then please read on.
To understand any and all relationships, you must first understand yourself. Why, because this is how you tick, think and perceive. It doesn't matter the type of relationship or if it is a love relationship - meaning family - parents, siblings, children, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, etc., or if it is a buddy relationship - meaning being friends, having get togethers, hang out nights or clubbing or if it is a romantic relationship - meaning spouse or significant other - someone you trust to share aspects of life with on an intimate level. Yes, I understand you can have conversations about intimate things with close family members, friends or doctors, but that is not the point I am trying to make here. I am sure you understand the level of intimacy I am talking about is of the sexual nature. Now moving on and getting back to you, think what went wrong with this relationship. Why did the break up occur in the first place? Why did the other person leave and walk away? Chances are the other person left you. How do I know this....well, because this explains your way of thinking and obsessing. If you were the one who left, you wouldn't be so concerned about what the other person is doing. You'd be feeling relieved that it is over, the dread/pressure/hard part is over and you can be free to move on. Right?
Let's explore further. When you are the one who is left, it leaves many questions, anger and complete disbelief. Sometimes you see it coming and other times, you don't - completely blindsided and has you caught off guard. Examples: how could this happen; what did I do; I am the best thing that ever happened to this person; is there someone else; what does this other person have that I don't; they'll wise up and come back; we had such a connection, and the list goes on and on. Connection or not, something changed. What was it? Consider your past habits and how it has affected things. Did you call to much, become clingy or possessive? If you called or texted alot and they didn't answer right away, what happened? Did you allow your thoughts to run away with you? People get busy at work and can not always take calls or could be in a meeting or the boss is in front of them. They may be driving and can not be distracted due to traffic. Maybe they are in the shower or their phone fell out of a jacket pocket or purse in the car or between the sofa cushings which muffles the ringtone or vibration, they may not even know the phone is missing or the battery is dead or they are in a dead zone. Perhaps they are making hamburgers or meatloaf and their hands are dirty or they are under the car fixing something. There are hundreds of innocent reasons why they didn't take the call. This is where your imagination runs away with you and it relates to self esteem issues, trust issues and lack of self confidence. What if the table was turned and they called you but you didn't answer...what happens? Is there a fight? Is it no big deal and forgotten about? If it's forgotten and dismissed, there is no issue on their end. So why is there an issue on your end?
The bottom line is why do you not trust this person? Why, if they are not at your becken call, are you so suspicious? Has a situation occurred in the past to create doubt? If so, and you worked it out, is it not forgiven and forgotten? This is a trust issue. Without trust, there can be no romantic relationship. No matter how you try, without trust, it's doomed.
If you have changed by becoming needy or clingy, what happened to create this change? Were you out somewhere and noticed that your partner was getting lots of looks or attention? Is the attention more so than usual? Think to why this is happening and what changed. Did your partner lose weight, start exercising and toning up, running marathons, get their teeth whitened, cut their hair, get a tattoo or buy a motorcycle? Did they get promoted or land a job which gives them more confidence and a stronger self worth. Think about it because something happened to cause you to become lacking in the self confidence aspect.
There are times when a cooling off period can be a good thing. It gives time to work through issues and turn things around, plus to see the other persons perspective. Put yourself in the other persons shoes and compare the actions. How would you feel if you felt smothered, stifled or not trusted? Both people concerned have a life. You are each individuals, not siamese twins joined at the hip. Everyone has their own spirit. There is a work life, buddy life, home life. Face it, you can not be together 24-7 for 365 days of the week. Even if you are retired, you must both have outside interests and break times away - no matter how short. Example, shopping must get done and golf must be played.
Now, if one person has moved on (meaning dating someone, living with someone or just cutting all ties with you), then it's time for you to let go and move on also. You can not change a persons feelings or control them. They are their own spirit as are you. If they do not feel the same about you anymore - it's out of your hands. There is nothing you can do to make them have those feelings again. If it's gone, it's gone. You do not own them and there is no genie that can grant you three wishes. If you are feeling like you need closure or to get the last word in or express your feelings, write it down as you would in a letter intended to be sent. It helps and it's okay to cry while doing so. It's part of the healing process. I, myself, wouldn't recommend sending to the person. Why? Well, as time goes by and you heal, you can one day look it over again or if you burn it or trash it, you can recollect on what you wrote and how you handled the break up and still feel relief. But if you send it, you may have put something in there that sounds stupid now or silly. And who knows if the person would show it to someone or post it on their myspace page which may cause regrets. If it helps, tell yourself that it was that person's loss. You may not be the shining star in this person's life, but you will be in someone elses. When the time is right or you least expect it, someone will come along and treat you with respect and love. Meanwhile, go through the healing stages and try to understand the reasoning behind some of your actions or mistakes. It will make for a brighter future for you and the people close to you. You survived before them and you will survive after them. If the Lord called them home, what would you do then? How would you get the closure? You have to face reality and see things as they are (see the writing on the wall), accept the lesson, heal and move on.
Love, light and brightest blessings.
Also, go back and recollect on some of your friends or family members and how they handled break ups. Did you know the break up was coming before they did? Did you see changes in their persona? Were they unaware of these changes because of being blinded? By comparing what you saw happening with them, it may help you to relate and see where the shifts occurred with yours.
