Practice what you preach!

A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted,photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the "What Would Jesus Do" bumper sticker, the "Choose Life" license plate holder, the "Follow Me to Sunday-School" bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, naturally...I assumed you had stolen the car."

The moral of the story is, LIVE WHAT YOU PREACH !!!!!!

One flaw women have....a reflection.

(author unknown)

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happyand laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear abouta birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colours.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning..
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Please feel free to cut and paste this to pass along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are. Brightest blessings.

Something to think about.

With Mercury in retrograde, here are some reflective lessons to think about.

To realize the value of a sister/brother, ask someone who doesn't have one.

To realize the value of ten years: Ask a newly divorced couple.

To realize the value of four years: Ask a graduate.

To realize the value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realize the value of nine months: Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize the value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of one minute: Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize the value of one-second: Ask a person who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. To realize the value of a friend or family member: LOSE ONE. The origin of this letter is unknown, but it brings understanding to everyone who reads it. Remember....hold on tight to the ones you love!

Many blessings to you!

Mercury in retrograde.

It's that time again! Mercury goes retrograde today for three weeks. It goes direct on the 29th. Pretty much means to expect the unexpected. This is a time where electronic devices may not work properly, may break, or may malfunction. Letter, bills, any communication with people may seem strained or misinterpreted. People may be in tense moods and you may find yourself desiring/wanting more solitude. You may experience problems in travel or trips and with meetings and appointments. This is a time where communication and schedules can be compromised. This is not a good time to sign contracts or make big purchases such as a car or appliance, hence things tend to break down or not function properly. People from your past may resurface and memories or past regrets may come from out of nowhere to haunt you.

What to do during this time: Think about your past and how you feel about your current circumstances. Consider if you are happy in your current situation? If not, think of ways to change it. This is a time to rethink, revise and renew.

What not to do during this time: Not a good time for big purchases such as a home, car or electronics. These types of things/items will generally encounter major problems. Don't sign important contracts or paperwork. Try not to get upset over set backs. Expect them so when they happen, you're prepared. Keep cell phone charged, keep a can of fix a flat in the trunk, etc.

Exciting news on upcoming blogs.

Greetings everyone and welcome. I am taking this very interesting course about a mixture of subjects and I would love to share what I am learning with you. There will be a series of blogs coming in the next few weeks (which will end up being the next few months) about religion, history, traditions and mythology. Does that not sound exciting! I am so siked. We will compare stories and beliefs from ancient history and see how they size up with stories and beliefs that are known today. Some subjects you may like and agree upon and other subjects may light a fire under the collar. All I ask, is that you keep an open mind through it all. You may find yourself intrigued and want to go further into the exploration by, perhaps, taking courses yourself, reading more upon it in the library, searching for more blogs on the subject by other writers and so forth.

First off, this blog will not discriminate or use opinions. No matter what your background in relation to religions and beliefs, this is only for exploration purposes and pondering views. All are welcome and there is no harm meant to anyone. I hope you will find it as exciting as I do.

What to expect: We will start with mythology - the history of it, the folklore handed down, the mystery surrounded by it and try to understand how some of these stories were born and came about and then we will work our way up to comparing stories from the Bible, Kabbalah (Cabbalah, Kabala) and Koran and so forth.

Be sure to keep checking this blog frequently for the updates and fascinating stories to come.
