When you are with another person, if you will stop listening to what you are thinking and begin listening to what you are feeling, the quality of your communication with that person will skyrocket--as will the quality of the relationship itself.

When you are confused and perplexed and looking for answers from the universe, if you will just turn off the part of you that desperately wants to figure things out and turn on the part of you that knows it has access to every answer--if you will stop trying to decide what to do and start choosing what you wish to be--you will find dilemmas dissolving and solutions appearing magically right in front of your face.

As for measuring the vibes of thoughts or words, there are very few people, actually, who cannot tell you whether they are feeling light or heavy about thinking or saying something. Most people can assess this quickly.

Yes, but--and here is the where the screw turns--very few people ever do. At least, that is my observation. I know, I certainly don't nearly enough.

Then you may wish to start.

Very few people use their intuitive and psychic abilities to go deep within themselves and get in touch with their feelings before they think or say or do something. Very few people even do it afterward. If you did this, you would allow yourself to be satisfied with nothing less than lightness. You would have nothing to do with anything that has heavy vibes. You would seek to lighten the vibration of everything that you observe, create, experience, and express. You would call this "enlightenment," and you would see amazing results in a very short period.

The alchemy of the universe is really quite extraordinary. Dictionaries define "alchemy" as "an inexplicable or mysterious transmuting," and it is just that, being the process by which energy and matter is manipulated to create specific and particular manifestations in both individual and collective reality.

You are continually in the act of creation, in life and in death.

What it would be beneficial for you to understand is that it occurs continuously. That is, it never stops. Every thought, word, and deed is creative.

Every vibration released from the Core of Your Being recreates you, and your entire reality, anew, and you being changed in every single moment. Your future is produced in tiny increments, not in one fell swoop or with one major decision. It is the increments to which you must pay attention. Then the "major moments" and "monumental decisions" will take care of themselves.

But we enjoyed every moment of it...

We had fun.... lots of fun!!!

I really do not want our relationship to be tainted by some ratty talks even from a close source. Our relationship was build with trust and although there are some secrecy we need to withheld from each other, sometimes it for our safety as well.

We understand each other and most definitely we wanted it to be that way. We do not want to mislead or mistrust either one of us. We are each other's help and we need each other to be each other's wing man.

This crazy woman seems like she just wants to put a blame on me for something that I didn't even do nor anyone of us even did. It was an accident and she is treating or giving us the cold shoulder and as if I am bothered.... Hell No!!!!

Honestly I do not give a thing of her to be cold on or whatsoever. I am bitching of blaming others of something that you cannot even prove and wasn't intended too. So, I told her that back off and maybe spend time watching over him and you might learn a thing or two of how a kid can move from one place to another or better yet how he gets hurt just by himself. Stand be one!!! (If you know what I mean.)

Being a Mom at an earlier age made me appreciate a lot of things my Mom did for us. All the sacrifices she went through to make and put us to where we are now. She is like our Wonder Woman with invisible powers and a very tough force field that anyone who comes to her with good intentions it will be protected and granted. That's our Mom.

She stood strong through the toughest ordeal of her marriage and as a Mother to us she made sure that all of our needs will be met according to her standards.

People who knew our Mom says that I am her mini me. That I grew up to be just like her in a way. Well, seems like it's a good compliment.

You do not have to be pregnant and bear a child to be called a Mother. You can be a foster parent or an adoptive parent or being an Aunt or Babysitter. It's one tough job and sometimes not every woman are equipped to be one. Sometimes we criticize and misjudged other parents of the way they discipline their kids. But honestly it's tough being a parent and also be there as a friend for your kids.

Lucky me that my kids are brought up in a civil and nice way. Although sometimes we have those days the argument days and let's see who will win. It's tough when especially you want to give them the best and they just do not sometimes seems to comprehend what you are trying to say. They think that you are trying to be mean and disagree with them.

Being a Mom is one of the most fulfilling job I have ever had and probably will ever have. My kids are my joy. Seeing them growing up into such responsible and understanding kids just melt my heart away and makes me proud to be their Mother.

   I'm learning that I do not need any outside source for my own happiness and my own sense of accomplishment.  No one in the world is going to know what's best for me-PERIOD.  I guess I never thought I was enough.  Well, I am.  My life has been an interesting journey so far, and now that I've discovered this monumental idea, I plan on listening to myself a lot more often.

   I think often times, I feel like a victim in my relationship.  I project outwards all of the ideas and feelings that I should be applying to myself.  Speak honestly and clear about what you want, and always find the love within yourself to forgive and accept your partner.  Many times we blame the other person for not bringing you happiness.  That's not their job.  That's YOURS!  After you read "Loving What Is" all of what I'm saying makes more sense.   All life is a journey, so be present where you are right now because if you aren't, you won't know where you want to go.

And please stop procrastinating. Sometimes I wonder if your stories are true or all lies.

Can you really blame me for being like this? I don't think so. I have a right to be mad and be mad for all the things that you have done and cause us a lot of money, time and a lot of sleepless nights.

We should have just stick with the original plan but then again we got some conscience still that we are being selfish to someone who needs help and so here we are again.

Back to square one and to you. I just hope that this time you won't mess around and keep your promise.  I am crossing my fingers and toes that you will be true to your words this time around.

I would be a liar if I would say I haven't thought about him, of course I still do!

I missed his voice...

His cooking...

His soft caress, tight bear hug

And his sweet passionate kisses.

We found each other through friendster.

Emailed and text messages back and forth...

Then it stop!

I was concerned but not worried.

Then out of the blue an email from him....

With the subject, "You're still the one..."

I was surprised and giggling like a little girl...

I guess I am hard to forget after all.

Yoga: So healthy! But also, so intimidating. The word is out about its myriad benefits—improved strength and flexibility, reduced stress, greater peace of mind—but something about yoga strikes fear into the limbs of newcomers in a way that aerobics and spinning simply don't.

Could it be the size-zero cuties in hot pants sauntering across the studio? The former gymnasts happily twisting themselves into pretzels? Maybe it’s the thousand-yard stare of the longtime practitioner who instinctively knows what to do with his socks, precisely how to place his sticky mat, and exactly the pose that’s coming up next. There's no doubt about it: Your first yoga class can be downright daunting. But it's a fear worth conquering—not only because of the health benefits, but because, in truth, few activities place such importance on acceptance, tolerance and noncompetition.

Here, we answer some common questions to help you overcome any apprehension and get you out there on the mat.

Am I too fat?

For Austin, Tex., yoga instructor Abby Lentz, it's one of the questions she most frequently fields—and her emphatic reply is always no. "There are still lots of benefits to be had, even if you can't touch your toes," says Lentz, founder of the HeavyWeight yoga program, which caters to hefty students. "You just have to let yourself move slower, use props, and don't let yourself do anything dangerous."

And Lentz should know. The 242-pound marathon runner and triathlete became an instructor after having an epiphany: "All along I'd been asking myself, 'How long would it take me to lose X amount of pounds so I could be a yoga teacher?' ” she says. "But eventually I found acceptance with my body and affection for it, just the way it is." Now she’s committed to ensuring that other would-be yogis don't wait to be thin before beginning a practice. As part of that devotion, she promotes swapping the ideal of the slim, trim yoga student for a more inclusive image. "You flip through those pages of the yoga magazines, and you get the impression yoga is for people who are thin and fit already," she says. "But it's for everyone, regardless of what you weigh or your size."

Am I flexible enough?

We've all seen people snake their way into hypercomplicated yoga poses: Midair splits balanced on one palm, a foot wrapped casually around the neck. It can seem impossible for those of us who can’t even touch our toes with straight legs. "What we're sure to tell new students is that someone who has his foot around his head might have been doing yoga for 10 years," says Chris Jensen of the Yoga Center of California in Costa Mesa. "We take it very slowly, and we emphasize a lot that there's really no competition in yoga—you can just go at your own pace."

And it's a forgiving pace. Some teachers remind students of yoga's "50-year plan"—that if their heels don't touch the floor after a year in Downward Dog, there's always hope for the next 49—though most instructors would caution new yogis against such goal-oriented thinking.

Will I lose weight?

"Somebody sat in my class and was like, 'How many calories do you think I burned today?' ” says Lentz. "I was like, 'I haven't a clue, and that's not the point.' ” Lentz encourages students who want to slim down to view yoga as one segment in a three-part fitness plan that also includes weight lifting and aerobic exercise. "I was like, 'If you want to burn calories, walk around the block or go swimming, and if you want to build muscle mass, go to the gym and lift weights,' ” she says. "But yoga is the foundation that supports those other two physical activities."

That being said, there are many different kinds of yoga, some more physically intensive than others. If you're looking for a calorie-burning workout, try an ashtanga or vinyasa session rather than a yin or restorative approach—though in every class the most crucial factor is the instructor.

I'm Christian. Can I still participate in yoga?

Yoga classes occasionally include chants or songs in an unfamiliar language, and Eastern religious icons—say, a small statue of the Hindu god Ganesh—sometimes are displayed in the studio. That's part of the reason behind the rise of so-called Christian yoga, which replaces traditional texts with biblical passages, and why Christian groups occasionally challenge yoga programs in public schools.

But most instructors are quick to point out that yoga is widely considered a spiritual, rather than religious, practice that in no way challenges a yogi's personal beliefs. "I always say to people that I was raised a Catholic, and I went to Jesuit schools my whole life," says Lynne Begier, founder of Back Bay Yoga Studio in Boston. "You can make yoga as spiritual as you want, and you won't be preached to and required to do anything you're not comfortable with."

What should I wear?

"Loose, comfortable clothing," says Jensen. "Our students wear a wide range. There's no set thing, as long as it's not tight or binding." (Jensen points out that jeans, for example, likely would become uncomfortable.) One caveat: Before that first class, consider trying Downward Dog on the living-room floor: Palms and heels on the ground, hips up, so the body resembles an inverted V. A T-shirt that’s too loose will slide down, making for an uncomfortable—emotionally, at least—class. And then there's the question of what to do with your socks: "Socks or no socks, it doesn't make much of a difference," Jensen says. However, some teachers feel more strongly about the issue, so when in doubt, pull them off!

Heard a lot of this yoga fuss and I thought that it would be hard, after trying a couple sessions I did like it but much prefer pilates over it. It's just me I guess but I also do yoga from time to time, if I am not lazy.  A very good exercise for strengthening your muscles and inner self. A good way for meditation as well.

I feel like I am a kid left unattended but surrounded with the things I need and want. But I need YOU. Tired and stressed out. And here we are waiting for and just a chitchat won't hurt but you are already in la-la land.

Weekend comes and where are you? As your reason blurted out you wanted to take him away from me to lessen the burden, but you think that way you are adding it to the burden I have already. We also need your attention and YOU.

Monday blues leftover of the weekend carried over....

How was your weekend? Did you had fun? Went to somewhere interesting? Being with loved ones?

Hope you had a great fun filled weekend. Enjoy Your Monday!!!

Take care and God bless!!!

They actually envied me for having a great plan for my kids which will cost me nothing at all. My kids will have enough time with their Grandparents, bounding with them, being spoiled and just enjoying their summer vacation.

Just imagine how I felt when they all envied and told me that good for you, your kids will be in great hands and you will have more time to bound and be with your hubby, just like newlyweds. Wish my parents are like yours.

Funny thing is, this is the only summer that we didn't actually planned anything for us except the regularly routine of movies, going to the park and visiting some museums,other than that, I was caught off guard of how some parents have the whole summer planned out and the whole just in case this is what we will do.

Got bipolar somewhere in you? I am so puzzled of how you are and when you start acting like you are the man makes me double thing are you really the man? Seems like you are the b*tchy witch to me.

And honestly to think I should have been used to this but I wonder myself why I reacted this way when I already know of how you are in the first place. I guess just never ever wonder that it could really happened at these times when we needed you the most.

Thankful for all the things you do... YES! but the attitude dude needs to be fix just a little notch will do.

I tried my best to be as honest as I can be. I work hard to where I am right now but honestly I am as confused as anyone is. I do not know where and what is the truth.

I am searching for the truth right now and hopefully I will be able to find it soon......... :)

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.

Of course , the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream
"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?"

"That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them."

"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.

Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

SO, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

As we can see imperfections are not just some decorations of who we are but sometimes our flaws are a plus to others that we just can't seem to see..... :)

For me cleaning is part of my daily dose cause I always believe that a clean start will go a long, long, long way and will end great as well.

Whoever wants to come home on a messy and smelly house? Of course no one and yet we sometimes neglect to clean up our act.

If we are messy on ourselves it will reflect on our lives as well. On our daily routine and along the way we will get messed up as well.

We need to put order in our life somehow and learn to draw the line of clean and obsessive cleaning.

A little spill, a little pile up of magazine and cluttered things will surely accumulate over the years and there goes your problem.

Very big thing comes from the littlest we neglect ad ignored.

Start cleaning and keep the order.
