Time Spent Well In Traffic

2010-04-15T05:44:00.003-05:00

At some point in time most drivers will find themselves in the mist of a traffic jam. It is often thought of as an excruciating agony breeding ill feelings and frustration. It can be quite a problem especially for those who find themselves dealing with it everyday without anticipation of avoidance.

Top 10 Worst Traffic Cities in the United States For 2009:
1.Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana CA
2.New York-Newark NY-NJ-CT
3.Chicago IL– IN
4.Atlanta GA
5.Miami FL
6.Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington TX
7.Washington DC-VA-MD
8.San Francisco-Oakland CA
9.Houston TX
10.Detroit MI

From personal experience, rush hour traffic can be a horrid time killer. A trip that would otherwise take 2o minutes, takes up to an hour and a half to travel during rush hour. In my opinion, there is no such thing as rush during rush hour. In fact it's stifling and constricting.

One very useful way to deal with the stress of being stuck in traffic, is in finding a way to utilize the time you're otherwise wasting away. This can be done by filling the time spent on the road with something enjoyable and productive. After all who wants to arrive to work or home from the day feeling fatigued with stress from the too long driver to get there? When you replace wasted time spent in traffic with time spent well in traffic, you have the power to change those feelings of fatigue to revived, inspired, rejuvenated and/or enthusiastic.

Have you every thought about reading a book, studying a course, or taking in a comedy show while driving? If not maybe it's time to. As I am sure you are a responsible driver who wills to keep eyes on the road let me remind you about the wonderful gift of audio sound.

Having a variety of listening favorites puts a swing on things for those of us who find ourselves stuffed in the middle of time zapping traffic jams. It does the mind, body and spirit good as you take care of how your thinking, feelings and being.

Keep you mind focused and your mood uplifted with choices like:

Have We Found Truth?
In feeling Jesus is the Truth, as He was with God in the beginning and is referred to The Word, it makes sense to conclude the gift of His birth was a sending of Truth with intent to shed light on deception. After all He died for our sins and the birth of sin stemmed from deception.

So what truth did Truth share with mankind?

When we think of energy as being everywhere and in all things live or not, we are understanding Omnipresence.

When we think of an intelligence/creator in functioning endlessly we are relating to omniscience.

When we think of how we relate to life, we are tapping into a degree of understanding omnipresence and omniscience in both the unabsolute and the abundant nature.

Awareness could be considered how we aim to live and love in oneness and realization of how we are all connected to omnipresence and omniscience.

Any Smoker Can Quit

2010-02-22T22:20:00.002-06:00

Although it is obviously evident that smoking cigarettes is addictive, many people hold on to a throttling belief that the reason it is difficult to kick the habit is solely due to nicotine. If nicotine addiction were the only problem to overcome in quitting cigarettes, kicking the habit would be easy. Since it only takes three days to free the body of nicotine, most people would agree it is a very short period of time to spend with withdrawal discomforts in exchange for need or desires to be smoke free.

IN SAYING HELLO
PICTURE THIS:

LIVING IN THE MOMENT
Little baby Johnny's feeling brave and decides today is the day he's going to take his first steps. You grab your camera and "poof" you got the photo of the year shot with Johnny's master drool smile and wobbly-woo walk heading straight for the camera's view. You're feeling exited about little Johnny's big steps, and the great shot you just got. You head over to your computer and make a card to send to mom, dad, auntie Sue, cousin Barb, uncle Dave... Well you get the picture. The whole family gets a card! While still in the thrill of the captured moment, your feelings of excitement are written with enthusiasm. The timing in creating the card makes it seem like they were almost there in the moment with you. That's what Send Out Cards call acting on a prompting and sharing your joy while you're still feeling energized with it. That's a nice touch you can't just find anywhere.

Holidays and Special Occasions
Let's say you are a very busy person. You love keeping in touch with family and friends but you have a lot on your plate lately, and time hasn't been on your side as much as you would like it to be. The Holiday season is coming up, but again, between school, studying, work and many other things the only free time you have is usually when the rest of the world is asleep and/or closed. Instead of having one more thing you have to add to your plate, that will take waiting in long lines and a lot of precious time, you have Send Out Cards. So now during one of those busy holiday seasons you can be sitting in your pajamas sipping on coffee and eating toast while sending as many "Hope You're Enjoying The Holiday" greetings as you like.

SO Much To Be Thankful For
You had a great time at the office party given in your honor. It was wonderful to see everybody and Carolyn's captured sunshine dance was just too funny to ever forget. As you plan your time to send everyone thank you cards, suddenly 75 attending guest starts to feel a wee bit weary. However, when you have 'Send Out Cards', this is not a problem in any way shape or form. In fact it's simple, sweet and enjoyable. Especially when deciding to feature Carolyn's little debut in it as your way to say Thank You with a flash-back moment of laughter that Carolyn will love to see too. You will have completed the whole 75 cards sending process before you can even wipe the smile from the party off your face. That's Sending Thanks With A Smile.

Hoping For Change

2009-08-12T11:30:00.004-05:00

I’ve been working with the law of attraction and changing the way I think for a while now. I have come to know better some things that once seemed so vague.

Sometimes the simplest thing can be treated with unimportance, but develop great meaning if given the respect and attention it deserves.

Truth is an essential in life. In pondering what we are and where we would be without it, I have found the only greater principle is Love.

Churches hold fast to truths, this is the foundation on which they build. Science too has a foundation that is built on truths. The difference is one is spiritual teachings from old doctrines and the other is new discoveries from testing hypotheses and facts.

One would think the two together could only unfold understanding of life that take us to points of awareness and higher consciousness.

I have found this to be where... I Am

Quantum Physics involving the law of attraction in relationship to mind power and life's source, The Master Key System, Bible Teachings, and Jesus's Word reveal great Truths.

I Am Hoping For Change With The Masses Reaching For Higher Ground.

Still Doubting Jesus After All These Years

2009-08-08T00:15:00.004-05:00

One of the things that is said often in reference to a teaching Jesus was giving to His apostles, is that he could not have meant what he was saying literally, and that He must have meant what He said metaphorically.

He was speaking to the apostles saying that if they believed they could command a mountain to toss it's self into the sea, it would. Much like in the understanding where IF Believed one could be healed than one would be, or IF Believed one could turn water into wine than one could, or If Believed one could feed a multitude of people with just two loves of bread and a few fish than it would happen, Or If Believed one could walk on water and calm a violent storm than so shall it happen, or If believed one could part the red Sea than it will be parted, or If Believed any hurtful act done to a people would cause a boomerang reaction on the pharaoh and his own, that it too would come about, or If Believed one could rise from the dead, than risen is what shall come to pass.

When it came to the multitude of miracles Moses and Jesus performed, holy men give Acknowledgement and recognition .. So how is it that just because Jesus didn’t perform the commanding a mountain into the sea that many feel he must have meant it metaphorically?

Relating Belief to Law of Attraction Concepts:
The fact that Jesus had said belief is the key is a supported understanding in the concept of the law of attraction. Much of the work in creating the live you desire is to train your mind to believe. This is best done by training the subconscious mind to accept what you desire to be obtainable. Repetition in time serves as a reconditioning tool.

MJ's words in respect to God "...enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God’s creation embraces me. We are one." http://bit.ly/pc6VN

We Are All Connected

2009-07-14T04:52:00.004-05:00

god

It’s strange that God doesn’t mind expressing Himself/Herself in all the religions of the world, while people still cling to the notion that their way is the only right way. Whatever you try to say about God, someone will take offense, even if you say everyone’s love of God is right for them.

For me the form God takes is not the most important thing. What’s most important is the essence. My songs and dances are outlines of Him to come in and fill. I hold out the form, She puts in the sweetness.

I’ve looked up at the night sky and beheld the stars so intimately close, it was as if my grandmother had made them for me. “how rich, how sumptuous,” I thought. In that moment I saw God in His creation. I could as easily have seen Her in the beauty of a rainbow, the grace of a deer bounding through a meadow, the truth of a father’s kiss. But for me the sweetest contact with God has no form. I close my eyes, look within and enter a deep soft silence. The infinity of God’s creation embraces me. We are one.

Michael Jackson
"Dancing The Dream"

Taking a walk down memory lane with MJ

2009-07-12T18:33:00.010-05:00

It is remarkable to think of how many people all over the world have come to know of this one person named Michael Jackson. Even more amazing is how this fact has been true for decades. Many people all over the world have there own stories to tell of how Michael appealed or didn’t appeal to them. Each most likely will reflect a piece of themselves as they recall moments along the timeline of his life.

As I share my memories in respect to his music,
I will not speak for all fans, but I feel it is very true for many, that Michael is much loved and admired for his works as well as the his one of a kind human spirit. I am proud to be a fan.

So here I go down memory lane with a connecting to his talent and music expressions. Beginning with his youth, for many a little ladies like myself back in the day, when little Michael sang we swooned, when he spun, our hearts swirled, and when he spoke we had listening ears clued to every word. If it wasn’t Michael who captivated a heart, it was one of his brothers, but Michael had mine. The Jackson5 were a different kind of group with great sounds and rhythmic grooves. Rocking robin wasn’t the only one feeling those early day tunes. The whole nation was rocking along with this little birdies sing along tweets.

As time moved on and the Jackson5 had long since left the stage, it seemed as if Michael grew up when no one was looking. All of the sudden there was this young man coming out of the woodwork with ‘Off the Wall’ and it was off the hook. It had a nice fresh upbeat sound that made you want to shake your boogie thing up onto the floor and dance with him. I remember well my little kitchen floor spins that I spun to “whew!” "don't stop till you get enough", and “dance with me”. Those were the day of discovering Michael's magic in making you wanna dance. It was great!

After Off The Wall popped out of nowhere, there came a series of MJ explosions. Between moon walking, Thriller, Billie Jean and all the great music he was throwing at us we didn’t have to think about who was bad, we knew it was Michael. He had it going on! You couldn’t stop even if you did get enough, because he was on fire.

Just when those fireworks were settling down, much to my surprise(again I can’t speak for all his fans but) I was shocked with the grand finale work he put into Dangerous. This album was making statements and breaking records. The Black and White video alone had people memorized with it’s technology with changing faces. That was another “WOW” like the moonwalk, it took you by surprise and kept you there. You couldn’t stop watching it. It took you over the top. That was my experience of it. In addition to that video, there were massive videos to let you visualized the songs as they played. There were great videos such as In The Closet, Jam, Remember the time, Will You Be There, Who Is It, and the Who Is It video making contest for the fans to participate in. But if that's not enough to take into account for the greatness all Michael was doing with this album, let's recall that famous all time greatest and much anticipated interview with Oprah. Now there was the real thriller. It was the world’s first peek at the man behind the talent. Michael was a man in motion. He was busy with his work as an artist and it was undeniable that he took his work seriously as he not only soared the skies, but he was looking like he was getting ready to orbit the moon as well. He was no longer only known for being Bad and a Thriller, but he had transcended into phenomenal.

But what happened in the mist of his beautiful flight was no joke. When I heard that Michael was being accused of molesting a child, my immediate reaction was that of the same as many fans, I thought it was just another one of those outrageous stories media fabricated. But it wasn’t it was a tragedy felt by millions and a blow to people all over the world. I remember thinking, ‘oh my god they are ripping his heart out. Killing him with his dedication and love for children. He went from rise in fame to personal humiliation and shame. It didn’t matter if the allegations were true or not, it would stain him for life. Every adult mind knew this, so even if you felt he was innocent, it was a horror story with no heroes to save the day. MJ was shot out in his flight with a missile targeted for termination. It was awful!

For the very first time in so many years, I saw Michael
on Television reflecting a person looking like a man run over by a truck as he told the world of his woes surrounding the accusations.

Time passed, and you may have begun to think he had more than one man could bare, but that didn’t stop him. He came back with HiStory.

He was angry and we got to hear a side of him that maybe we didn’t quite know existed. I remember my first take on this album when I gasped, 'Did he say sh**?' I almost wanted to stand at attention when I first heard this expression coming from the captain of humanitarianism. This may be because my mother who was also born on August 29th didn’t swear much when I was growing up, but when she did and said the ‘s’ word it was scary. So I don’t know about the rest of the world, but Michael's cursing was a jolt to me. As far as my personal take on the content of HiStory, there was a lot of anger and sadness in it. You weren’t dancing to these tunes, but the music was still very good.

It was a accepting of where else could he go as an artistic other than to were he was. Even though it wasn’t a good place, it was understandable and HiStory was deeply appreciated. The gladness in dance was gone and Michael was coming from a different place now. Changed!

I felt his next album Blood On The Dance Floor reeked of more pain that was evidently turned into anger. Which is a natural defense mechanism for humans when the pain just won’t stop. So with the combination of these two albums I would conclude Michael was showing his human side. You knew he was hurt and angry and it was pouring out through his music even still after HiStory.

Although I felt for him as a person because of all he had been through, I related to his work like a fan. Blood on the dance floor was the first album I didn’t care for too much at the time of it’s release However later I came to love some of the tracks Michael had on there like History, This time around and Earth Song. Were the dance had fizzled out in History, Blood on the dance floor was spicing the tunes up a notch. The only thing was that it still felt like pain. Then he got quiet.

So then again years later I was just getting a computer and dabbling in some of my interest when I stumbled upon a Michael Jackson fan site. This is were I got wind of the notion that he might retire. I remember vividly sitting there trying to imagine the world without Michael’s voice in it. It wasn’t good!

So it was more than my pleasure to later hear that his next album ‘Invincible would be surfacing. This was the first album I waited for before the release. That’s what thinking about losing what you’ve taken for granted will do to you. This album also came out at what was a difficult time for me so I was more than Thrilled to throw on a set of headphones and get lost in a sing along. I didn’t care that I was off key and couldn’t sing worth beans. After all, I was by myself(most of the time) and wasn’t trying to be a rock star. I was just glad to have the fresh sound of Michael's voice resonating in my ears once again.

Invincible was different than Michael’s earlier works. He was quieter and more mellow. It was a refreshing change of pace from pain and anger, but I still felt it missed elements like his MO(modus oporandi) for many videos that let you visualize his dance energy to the songs. Yet I sang every song and love this album to no end.

Despite the stigma of Sony’s pulling a fast one with issues such as lack of promotion, sticky fingers for the Beatles catalog, media injustice, the back stabbing Bashire interview, and still more media injustice, and yet another abuse claim, this is where I feel most of Michael’s fan came to love him more. Fans just wanted him to be treated fairly, but were realizing our feelings didn’t matter, much of the world was seeing Michael through news media eyes and they were most often one sided and competing for network ratings. I still feel people are not getting all the information of what really went on in Michael's life because 'news' has become limited to opinions more than just presenting the facts. This without doubt has been the most hurtful part of being a Michael Jackson fan. Most often when we who felt he was innocent spoke out for him, we got put down with him. It wasn’t just his struggle anymore. Fans who were standing up for him, were also taking the blows with him. I often felt that those who spoke of fans idol worshiping him didn’t realize that it was quite the opposite, at least for some of us. He was a person whom many people thought perfectly fine to tear apart, as if being famous made it ok. It wasn’t fans who were forgetting that Michael was human during his trials and tribulations, we knew it and felt for him because of it. I am sure that many if not most of his supporting fans can relate to this.

There were many tugs and pulls along with hope and anticipation when it came to Michael’s work in the last years. Now it has become an unsettling sense of unfinished lingering and an untimely passing on.

Thankfulness is in having been touched by his work and walk in life.

He will be missed as an artist and person. May he be left alone to rest in peace.
