<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I sit and watch the news and surf the internet I can not turn a blind eye to what I am seeing at the same time I asked myself what can I do? So I have decided to start a prayer for the china and YANGON, Myanmar  earth quake and cyclone survivors, victims.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lord I as a Warrior of the Light I do know that tragic things happen in the world from the beginning of time to the end of time, as these tragic things happen I am still touched with grief and compassion. I come to you humbled and ask that you bring comfort to family members that have lost a mother, father, son, daughter, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, friend.......</p>
<p>I ask that you heal those who have been injured,</p>
<p>those who maybe waiting for rescue that you stay with them and provide comfort till a helping hand comes and recover them.</p>
<p>Lord I ask that you wrapp your arms around this nation at this moment bring unity, love, calmness, and understanding in this moment of confusion and sadness.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For those who may read this blog feel free to add your prayer wishes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love, light, and Peace</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i woke up this morning around 2:30am "can't sleep"!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I go through these different thoughts of things I could do different that would take away this creepy feeling of I'm tired of this life.</p>
<p>I thought about a trip to see my friend in Morocco for his wedding (the thought of Morocco makes me feel sad and my close friends would know why this is) hehehe</p>
<p>So I think about a trip to visit various friends and i still have that creepy feeling lingering inside of me.</p>
<p>I think about returning to the US. (oh hell no not right now not in this particular life time heheheheh just not ready yet)</p>
<p>I think about what if I won a million dollars (ummm nope still have that creepy feeling actually the feeling grows deep when I think of this cause one reason I'm sad is because I have the opportunity to make a lot more money but I don't want the job) One of thhe things I know for sure is that money don't bring happiness!</p>
<p>I think about going to see my <a title="Miko" href="http://picasaweb.google.com/brightlightwarriornika/FamilyMyBeautifulFamily/photo#5167307782514123794">sister </a>for a while (ummm nope I love you Miko but I know you are about to have a transisiton soon and I wish one day we can really hook up and hang out just the two of us and the kids) They make me feel so happy! (maybe I could use a dose of hanging out with you and kids) Miss you and Love you!</p>
<p>Then I think about that article I read in Yoga Journal the other day while sitting on the toilet :P about the lady who was teaching english down in a village in South America (as my close friends know I have this passion to go down to South America after I leave the middle east and chill out until I'm ready for my next adventure).</p>
<p>As I think of myself down there teaching english learning from the people the culture growing more understanding more I feel that creepy feeling fade away from my mind and heart and I know...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm going into my room and i'm going to get down on my knees and speak to God!</p>
<p>Peace out</p>
<p>Love</p>
<p>Marie</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I tell myself stop it! stop being so selfish stop complaining, its a blessing to have a job that pays well! Well I am thankful for this job for having money to help my family to live to travel. But all in all I HATE MY JOB AND ITS HURTING MY HEART!</p>
<p>So many would say, "well, leave if it is that bad"! Well, if i leave that means leaving Qatar, leaving my friends, leaving my boyfriend, leaving a life I have outside of my job. It makes me sad thinking about leaving everyone.</p>
<p>But my heart is starting to take over. My mind has put up a battle trying to be LOGIC about all of this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mind: be financially secured, make sure you know where you want to go after you leave Qatar, you have a big promotion that is approaching are you sure you want to turn that opportunity down? Marie don't make any mistakes. You know you do not want to return back home to St. Petersburg all that is there are people that are guaranteed to work your nerves and too much sadness.</p>
<p>Now my heart is jumping in</p>
<p>Heart:    mind you have put up this fight too long and i have given you your way for the past two years, now its my turn to have some fun!!! Don't worry dear, everything is going to be alright. Hasn't the Lord always taken care of you in all situations?</p>
<p>"Yes"! is my reply</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heart:   So why is that you are afraid its time for a change its time for some adventure its time to put your lessons into actions!</p>
<p>Lord help me choose give me the strength to step out on faith!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>from the warrior of the light</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>from now on-and for the next few hundred years-the universe is going to help warriors of the light and hinder the prejudiced.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>the earth's energy needs to be renewed</p>
<p>new ideas need space.</p>
<p>body and soul need new challenges.</p>
<p>the future has become the present, and every dream except those dreams that involve preconceived ideas will have a chance to be heard</p>
<p>anything of importance will remain; anything useless will disappear.</p>
<p>however, it is not the warrior's responsibility to judge the dreams of others, and he does not waste time criticising other people's decisions.</p>
<p>in order to have faith in his own path, he does not need to prove that someone else's path is wrong.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">I looking into this hole and its spinning round and round i see all kinds of colors and i feel the wind blowing in my face thru my hair. I look closely and I see someone, its a female I'm  trying to focus to make out her face. its me falling deep deep deep I'm reaching my hands up to me to be pulled out. The wind is strong I want to save myself but I don't think I'm strong enough the wind has got me spinning around and around i fall inside i grab onto myself and hold on tight we look into each others eyes and our bodies combine. the wind slows down the colors become bright I look up and  I see a clear blue sky high above. Oversize flowers bloom underneath me, they grows tall while i sit on the petals higher and higher i step out of the hole and walk away.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(just some thoughts) Ok I know that I am not my every thought  So then a voice said its more of the feelings that are in your heart. ummmmm:)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lactose intolerance can really be toxic :P I decided yesterday to treat myself to some chocolate ice cream yesterday during lunch time (yum yum) Now I'm asking myself did I forget that I have a serious problem digesting milk in certain forms (which includes ice cream at the top of the list following yogurt, then some cheeses) Well, by 6pm I had become 8 months pregnant with serious stomach cramps putting me in an intolerable mood! I know my roommate if she was awake could here my random explosions relieving me of some weeks of pregnancy! LOL!! The pain was so bad I thought occasionally that I might have to visit the emergency room.</p>
<p>FYI I'm not pregnant!!!! Only when I eat dairy!</p>
<p>Glad to announce I made it through the night feeling like a brand new person this morning. Giving birth to volumes of Gas. I actually woke up feeling like I could swim around the world. My spirits are high and I feel blessed! :D</p>

<p>Not sure if I mentioned but I have started reading a new book <strong><a title="eat,pray,love" href="http://www.elizabethgilbert.com/" target="_blank">eat, pray, love by Elizabeth Gilbert</a>. </strong>Its about One Woman's search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia. I <strong>fell in love </strong>with this book on page 16 (chapt 3) where she mentions</p>
<p><em><span style="color:#0000ff;">"Culturally, though not theologically, I'm a Christian. I was born a Protestant of the white Anglo-Saxon persuasion. And while I do love the great teacher of peace Who was called Jesus, and while I do reserve the right to ask myself in certain trying situations what indeed He would do, I can't swallow that one fixed rule of Christianity insisting that Christ is the only path to God. Strictly speaking, then, I cannot call myself a Christian. Most of the Christians I know don't speak very strictly. To those Who do speak (and think) strictly, all I can do here is offer my regrets for any hurt feelings and now excuse myself from their business."</span></em></p>
<p>Very brave of her to write this; something I agree with but find hard to express to  others when questioned. So I give her a huge hug for putting this into her book for being brave.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm very happy today, a dear friend from Bahrain is coming to Qatar today I haven't seen him in about 6 months, I value his friendship and I love talking with him. He has the warmest heart I can feel it by talking to him on the phone and sitting next to him.</p>
<p>So I have been avoiding mentioning this (weird saying and thinking about the battle I went through to finally go through with it but I have become a lacto-vegetarian (a person WHO eats only dairy products and vegetables) I still like to eat cheese, and some skim milk with my coffee  (my body finds a way to tolerate it, wine and cheese yum yum).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm still doing the online classes with Oprah and Eackhart Tolle and millions around the world A New Earth (<strong>at my own pace)</strong>  I giggle at times when I GET IT! Thank you <a title="my friend Dougs great idea" href="http://www.communitycatapult.com/" target="_blank">Doug </a>for telling me about this book.</p>
<p>Not too long ago on myspace Paulo Coelho asked a question on his blog <strong>My unfulfilled desires</strong>  <em> "</em><span><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>So, what are your "New Year" resolutions that you never ever managed to fulfill"?</em> My answer is ~~I wouldn't say they are new years resolutions but they are resolutions (goals things that I want to accomplish in my life here as a Human Being) I guess I can't answer it yet; I still haven't got up the courage to express it to others (there is some shyness fear of rejection; I know I'm not getting any younger and I am not promised tomorrow but I still have a <strong>BUT........</strong>)</span></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size:xx-small;">If I were a drummer, I would use my cymbal<br />
If I were a writer, I would use a pencil<br />
I would use my voice, if I were a singer<br />
No matter who or what we are, we must praise</p>
<p>If I was a doctor, I would use my research<br />
A prolific dissertation, if I was a speaker<br />
I would use my hands, if I were a potter<br />
No matter who or what we are, we must praise</p>
<p>CHORUS<br />
Let the people of God bless Him<br />
Let it ring with love and truth<br />
With our gifts we exalt Thee<br />
Merciful, wonderful God<br />
We must praise</p>
<p>If I were an eagle, I would use my wings<br />
Since I'm a believer, I use everything<br />
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord<br />
All ye people<br />
No matter who or what we are, we must praise</p>
<p>CHORUS</p>
<p>VAMP<br />
Praise His Holy, Holy Name (X5)<br />
With our gifts we exalt Thee<br />
Merciful wonderful God</p>
<p>Oh Hallelujah, Oh glory, Oh holy of holies<br />
Oh Bread of life God, Oh meat of hunger Lord<br />
Water of thirst Lord, We magnify you<br />
We thank You for what You've done God<br />
What You¹re doing God and what You're gonna do<br />
No matter who or what we are, we must praise<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’,’serif’;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Dear readers,<br />
recently I came upon an article from the NYT in which faithfulness is exposed as an outwright fantasy in the animal world.<br />
In this article by Natalie Angier, biologists and psychologists explain that social monogamy is very rarely accompanied by sexual, or genetic, monogamy in virtually all species. Moreover studies have shown that there are also species that "pay for sex", male shrike provisioning their "mistresses" with more gifts than the ones given to their mate while male macaques that spent time picking parasites from an adult female’s hide systematically expect compensation in the form of copulation.<br />
Yet, one thing remain: jealousy and possessiveness don’t disappear  since very often females are violently attacked by males if they copulate with other males...</strong></span></span></p>

<div><strong>Sexual promiscuity is rampant throughout nature, and true faithfulness a fond fantasy. Oh, there are plenty of animals in which males and females team up to raise young, as we do, that form "pair bonds" of impressive endurance and apparent mutual affection, spending hours reaffirming their partnership by snuggling together like prairie voles or singing hooty, doo-wop love songs like gibbons, or dancing goofily like blue-footed boobies.</strong></div>
<p></font><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Yet as biologists have discovered through the application of DNA paternity tests to the offspring of these bonded pairs, social monogamy is very rarely accompanied by sexual, or genetic, monogamy.<span style="font-size:8pt;color:#333333;font-family:’Arial’,’sans-serif’;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong> </strong></span></span></strong></span></strong></font></span></p>

Barash, who wrote "The Myth of Monogamy" with his psychiatrist-wife, Judith Eve Lipton, cited a scene from the movie "Heartburn" in which a Nora Ephronesque character complains to her father about her husband’s philanderings and the father quips that if she’d wanted fidelity, she should have married a swan. Fat lot of good that would have done her, Barash said: we now know that swans can cheat, too. Instead, the heroine might have considered union with Diplozoon paradoxum, a flatworm that lives in gills of freshwater fish. "Males and females meet each other as adolescents, and their bodies literally fuse together, whereupon they remain faithful until death," Barash said. "That’s the only species I know of in which there seems to be 100 percent monogamy." And where the only hearts burned belong to the unlucky host fish. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’,’serif’;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Even the "oldest profession" that figured so prominently in Spitzer’s demise is old news. Nonhuman beings have been shown to pay for sex, too. A male shrike provisions his mate with so-called nuptial gifts: rodents, lizards, small birds or large insects that he impales on sticks. But when the male shrike hankers after extracurricular sex, he will offer a would-be mistress an even bigger kebab than the ones he gives to his wife — for the richer the offering, the researchers found, the greater the chance that the female will agree to a fly-by-night fling. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’,’serif’;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Significantly, males adjust their grooming behavior in a distinctly economic fashion, paying a higher or lower price depending on the availability and quality of the merchandise and competition from other buyers. </strong></span></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’,’serif’;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Commonplace though adultery may be, and as avidly as animals engage in it when given the opportunity, nobody seems to approve of it in others, and humans are hardly the only species that will rise up in outrage against wantonness real or perceived. Most female baboons have lost half an ear here, a swatch of pelt there, to the jealous fury of their much larger and toothier mates.</strong></span></span></strong></span></div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>When my feelings are hurt and I sit back analyze the situation. The way I see it is like being a maze. I’m going around in circles for hours and finally I get tired of going around in circles so I sit back and start to make a plan thinking if I try this way it will be the quickest way out or and I try all these different strategies to find the quickest way out of the maze finally I realize the quickest way is taking the longest way and it is the only way. What I have come to realize is I just have to feel the pain realize it is not the end of the world and it will not last forever and I will heal. (ummm maybe I’m a little drama queen at times)</strong></span></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some thoughts on my way to work:  </p>
<p>first here is my update on the celibacy blog <a rel="bookmark" href="http://nikabrightlightwarrior.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/a-month-of-celibacy/" title="celibacy who me? yes Me! couldn’t be! well it seems">celibacy who me? yes Me! couldn’t be! well it seems</a>; well all in all I <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/surgery/images/all/art_failed.jpg">click</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://moby.com/">Moby</a> has done it again I am loving his new album <a href="http://moby.com/discography/albums/last-night.html">Last Night </a>it rocks!  I got it off of </p>
<p>i-Tunes this morning and rocked it on my way to work and yelled out-loud "Moby has done it again"! My favorite tracks are  #1 <strong>oo yeah</strong> #7<strong>hyenas</strong> and #8 <strong>im in love </strong>track #3  <strong>257.zero</strong> got me to thinking what was he thinking when he wrote this 257 123456789 zero~~~ ummmmm just a question that came to mind when listening to it. The entire CD flows~~~~~~~~~~I was imagining myself in London at a lounge spot talking with some friends listening and my body got to moving while i was talking and having a cocktail on the side. All in All thanks Moby for for this one!!! Love it!<img src="http://moby.com/files/www/imagecache/200x200/files/www/discography/lastnight_packshot.jpg" /></p>
<p>Yesterday while walking from lunch with my friends a man (stranger) walks by and I stepped over his shadow I explain (confess to the first person ever) that I have this Phobia of stepping on other people's shadow. Yes, I know its crazy tried to google it but no help (can't believe that googling it didn't really help me usually google has all the answers LOL)</p>
<p>So while driving this morning I was thinking about my house (my mind, body, and spirit) and how its time to put things into order (every now and then you have to do a check up like those dental check up and doctor check ups) well I decided its time to have some fun with my energy and get things moving around and lined up, light and beautiful get that energy moving to make things work for me. Not sure if you are following what I'm saying but its the best way I can describe it.</p>
<p>By the way I woke up this morning with a huge amount of positive energy ( thank you Lord) I'm at ease and I'm happy! Umm no I'm not bi-polar only when PMS is around :D hehehehe</p>
<p> Here is today's daily message</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I ask myself what is it that i want from life? More like what is that my soul wants out of this here life I am  living (knowing I am not promised tomorrow).</p>
<p>Lord, I 'm going to be 30yrs old this year and i feel like i am wondering aimlessly in no particular direction without a real purpose.</p>
<p>I must admit more than often seems like i am struggling to see the beauty you have created in this world (at times i feel my eyes, my spirit is going blind to the miracles in life).</p>
<p> This morning I did notice a small miracle that happens daily and that was the transition from night to day. I opened my eyes from a long restful sleep and noticed the sun shining through my window. I remembered before I closed my eyes how dark my rooms was and how all i could see out of my window was darkness.  The morning sun made me smile and I felt refreshed something had awakened in me something moved me.</p>
<p>thank you Lord for this refreshing miracle</p>
