I, too, am realizing that I need to make some changes in my eating/excercising ration. The amount of food {and unfortunately, the healthiness of same} is nowhere near the amount of moving/excercising I do.........the predictable result is this spare tire that has somehow attached itself to my mid-body!!! I am looking at the age factor too, when I was informed during pregnancy that with gestational diabetes, one usually develops type 2 diabetes in the 60's ...and I'm already 65. Thinking ahead, I do not want to see an old lady on insulin, hobbling around big, and fat & non-mobile. While I can wish I had started a healthier life style years ago, today IS the first day of the rest of my life!! I can become the change I want to see, starting today!!! God be with us on our journey to new habits!!!

This has been happening to me considerably a lot lately. Well, not with sheep and a gate and my neighbors in W.V., but in the sense that I have bee comfronted with a lot of angry people. The more peaceful and loving that I feel the more that I have been tested by angry people. I think I have a sign on my forehead that reads, Please Let out all your Fear and Anger on Me" I have been responding with love instead of Anger. It sure isn't easy though. It makes me feel more alone, then loving. It is a pattern that I am suppose to learn from. I just hope I passed the test and can move on to the next lesson, because I wan't to be around positive people. I like this story. This has been happening to me considerably a lot lately.

I need to take a moment and let that sink in. Yous comment is easy to follow and common sence thinking, but of coarse like most things it is more involved than what is present.

I don't even know where to start. There is so much I would love to Philosophize about, with you. I have so many of the same thoughts that you do. I have many questions that don't have any answers too......Maybe reading you blog more often will get my brain moving again and I can come up with some answers. oh wow!

Just focusing on what's going on in the moment, and attempting to generate love and positive energy about it is the important issue. Blessing and forgiving undesirable occurrences is one way to minimize the attraction of violence in your own life. Let the things that you are not involved in be. The universe will take care of balancing itself. You can only control what you attract to you, and judging others' activities (and what they attract to themselves) is a useless dispersion of energy.

This is how it came into my hands. First a friend called me late one night and we talked for hours, then she asked me if I knew about the law of attract. I knew a little about it, but not much at all. In fact I asked myself the next morning what was the name of that law? I let go of the question and knew that I would be directed down the path of know what it was if it was really needed in my life. A day later I was looking someothing up on the interenet and ran into The Law of Attraction blog. A week later I went up to my sis's house and we went to Target. I love Target and rarely go because I live 40 minutes from one. I ran right into the book, "The Secret". It was fate. Just wanted to let you know I have a copy of “The Secret”.

How everyone's truth it right. Not that it is right or wrong, but just their own truth. I do wonder though how you explain violence. I know that when someone hits or rapes someone that they are seeking out there own fear and the only truth they know (their perspective), but that is forcefully crossing over into someone elses space, and hurting others. I am just really confused about this point and have not figured out an answer for it. What r ur thoughts on it? I think about this often. How everyone’s truth it right.
