New Career in 2008?

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Due to the recent family drama and a basically tough year I have been contemplating what I want to do with my life. I will be 40 in a year and I basically don’t have a career. My husband is the ‘money maker’. He is in the IT business and I am wondering if I [...]

Appreciation Vs Gratitude

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

YIPPEE!! There is a new Abraham-Hicks video on Youtube. I just love seeing and hearing Ester. I love her voice and what she has to say just makes me feel so much better. I have never listened to an AH podcast or you tube video and felt bad afterwards. I hope you enjoy it as [...]

Green Gifts

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

After hearing my BIL’s (A Wise Doo) on the importance of having a “green” Christmas this year I have been racking my brain trying to think of things to give that are eco-friendly. I had an awesome idea - fruit baskets! They are healthy and they don’t end up rotting in a dump. I hate [...]

Betrayed

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Since I am currently going through some betrayal issues with my sister I found this poem very comforting. Time and just focusing on living life seems to help. Everyday gets easier I guess - as long as I stay away from the drama.

Dust off the Equipment

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

My husband has always been resistant to ‘classical’ exercise - meaning running, treadmills, weight lifting, etc. He loves doing martial arts and got really in shape about 11 years ago doing it. He bought a ton of sparring gear but it hasn’t been touched in years. He needs to workout in order to help get [...]

Family Tensions

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

There is so much drama going on in my family right now I feel like I am going to explode! This has been going on since July and it won’t seem to either end or go away. Another ‘episode’ happened last night - this doesn’t surprise me since it’s so close to Christmas. My BIL [...]

Responsible Financial Mgmt

I think it is pretty ordinary for people living in this country to be exposed to material possessions - a lot of them! Keeping up with the Joneses is a personal battle that I deal with on a daily basis. I think it is great to want things but when your entire source of happiness [...]

Eternal Relationships??

Monday, December 17th, 2007

This Abraham-Hicks quote was in my email this morning and I wasn’t sure how to take this one.

Relationships are forever. They are eternal. Not just permanent in this lifetime. Once you establish a relationship, it is an eternal relationship.

Um - so every relationship that I have had is eternal. In some ways that is very [...]

A Green Gift

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

With regard to having a ‘green Christmas’ we’ve been debating about what gifts to get our daughter. In past years we have bought a lot of junk toys that she ended up rarely playing with. The gifts that have seem to last the longest in terms of durability and maintaining a 10 year olds interests [...]

Apple Pie Hill Fire Tower

Speaking of our Wise Doo (BIL) here is some hiking footage. Who says New Jersey doesn’t have some cool places to hike?! I told the Wise Doo to watch out for the Jersey Devil while he was around there. He told me he would be extra careful since he was going to the Pine Barrens.
