 am available from 3 pm eastern until 11 pm eastern time today, but 
while you can chat live with me at any time, you must schedule an 
appointment for the phone.&amp;nbsp; The reason for this is it's the weekend, and
 I have to get my children settled in order to do a reading in peace.&amp;nbsp; 
;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img src="http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/650/650147gq8kso64v5.gif" alt="" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;It&lt;/span&gt;'s
 time to offer your yearly reading in review for the year 2013!&amp;nbsp; I am 
offering a month by month look into any messages that can help you 
during the months ahead.&amp;nbsp; The cost of this service is $40 today only; as
 this normally costs $70!&amp;nbsp; Today only, you can receive this special 
offer and save yourself $30!&amp;nbsp; You will receive your order within 3 hours
 from the time of purchase or you will receive an additional 25% off!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Now that business is out of the way, lets discuss more personal thoughts.&amp;nbsp; ;)&amp;nbsp; &lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;For
 years I have told clients to make sure they love themselves in order to
 assure they are capable of loving someone else. So many times this 
suggestion has been met with the statement, "I do love myself."&amp;nbsp; I 
always try to bring this statement to the surface and explain to those 
who cross my path that settling for less than you want out of life is 
not loving yourself!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Then
 for the last year, I found myself slipping into despair; I wasn't 
loving myself at all.&amp;nbsp; I lacked ambition, inspiration and drive; finally
 taking the time to do some soul searching.&amp;nbsp; Yes, I had been through a 
lot over the last years past, but I seriously needed to figure out why I
 was allowing myself to gain weight, be sluggish and even though there 
was always a 'responsible' plan, I do have to say I didn't stick to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;I
 was unhappy I didn't have money; yet kept putting work off until 
'tomorrow'.&amp;nbsp; I was disgusted I was heavier than I ever was with my full 
term pregnancies without being with child; yet wouldn't make myself get 
up and do something about it with exercise.&amp;nbsp; Gaining all the weight made
 me feel ugly; as a result, not only did I quit doing my hair or makeup,
 but as sad as this is:&amp;nbsp; I didn't even care if I took a shower every 
day.&amp;nbsp; My house was doing the downward spiral and I began to feel like 
the biggest failure. Then I realized something, I'm depressed; but why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Many
 people know from previous blog posts I had found out I have 16 brothers
 and sisters I've never met and 3 brothers I know well; yet I have one 
brother of 19 I am cloae to.&amp;nbsp; I was so upset when he told me joined the 
military and was leaving in 6 hours for basics, but didn't want to tell 
me cuz I was the only family member who would care.&amp;nbsp; He didn't want me 
to guilt trip him.&amp;nbsp; Once he left, I quit having friendly outdoor 
functions; in fact, I'm not sure I will have my traditional Christmas 
Party which has taken place for the last 20 years in a row.&amp;nbsp; So okay, 
what's the best way to get out of the slump then?&amp;nbsp; I had to quit hating 
myself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Since
 this problem began,I am still struggling with some issues, but getting 
much better at helping myself to be happy.&amp;nbsp; I have lost over 30 lbs 
exercising with Zumba and using Just Dance Wii games; I'm thinner than 
I've been in 11 years now! Having done this raised my self esteem and 
now I find myself taking pride in my appearance!&amp;nbsp; If someone hasn't seen
 me in a year; I am unreckonizable.&amp;nbsp; I have also worked on my financial 
problems by sticking to a plan and being available more regularly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;You
 know, it is true:&amp;nbsp; I was so busy hating myself, I almost appeared as 
though I hated everyone else too!&amp;nbsp; I felt miserable, looked miserable 
and those around me thought I had some mysterious problem with them 
personally.&amp;nbsp; All this only created arguments, and people feeling 
unappreciated.&amp;nbsp; Having learned from this mistake, I have raised my love 
formyself at least 3 fold; those closest to me now feel loved as well.&amp;nbsp; 
What you project is what you get!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Okay, so enough of the lecture, huh?&amp;nbsp; LOL&amp;nbsp; &lt;img title="Innocent" src="http://www.keen.com/MvcContent/TinyMce_3501/plugins/customemotions/img/smiley-innocent.gif" alt="Innocent" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;A&lt;span&gt;nother
 point I would like to share with you in case you are confused is this:&amp;nbsp;
 When you schedule your appointment with me, the request for services 
will be completed on my pet psychic line.&amp;nbsp; Don't worry, you can ask 
anything you want no matter what area of my business you contact me on.&amp;nbsp;
 I simply have done this in hopes of getting more exposure to my less 
popular lines.&amp;nbsp; ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Okay,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;
 so if you want to get a great deal involving free minutes, schedule an 
appointment.&amp;nbsp; If you would like a reading enlightening enough to help 
you with your entire next year, today is the day to do it!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Many Blessings, Love &amp;amp; Light,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Teresa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=643045" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/archive/category/2268.aspx">Thoughts, Articles &amp;amp; Stories</category><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/archive/category/2297.aspx">Inspirational Stories</category></item><item><title>Welcome to My Wrecking Ball</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Welcome-to-My-Wrecking-Ball/628913.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Sep 2012 03:03:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:628913</guid><dc:creator>Angel Tears From Heaven</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/comments/628913.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/commentrss.aspx?PostID=628913</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/rsscomments/628913.aspx</wfw:comment><description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;Welcome to My Wrecking Ball!&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;table align="center"&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td align="left"&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I always preach to those who listen: &amp;nbsp;"Your environment helps make or break life situations." &amp;nbsp;So how come I don't listen to my OWN advice? &amp;nbsp;More than any other time in my life, I understand how looking at life with all positivity and looking for the good in all people can be harmful to a person's personal life.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Some would believe I live my life according to a set of ethics; no longer existing in this day and age. &amp;nbsp;I need to live my life according to a standard, and have made many changes because of this. &amp;nbsp;I took courses in psychology to better understand humanity, and in some aspects has greatly helped me out with the situation I am about to share with you.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;h2 align="center"&gt;I'm Disgusted With Flimsy Alcohol Excuses!&lt;/h2&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When someone gets drunk, they don't change their personality; they are still the same person they were sober, they just don't care as much how actions can hurt others. &amp;nbsp;I have yet to see anyone who could be considered drunk do anything more than live in the moment; future consequences are far from thought. &amp;nbsp;What a person chooses to do when they are drunk can often become the symbol &amp;nbsp;of private thoughts. &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td align="left"&gt;
            &lt;table align="center"&gt;
                &lt;tr&gt;

                        &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#4D5D2C" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;One thing I learned in college is the link between our environment, our situations and decisions we make. &amp;nbsp;I have prided myself to keep particular females/situations away from specific events in my life; a protection mechanism. &amp;nbsp;One area this should be taken into consideration with is the involvement of alcohol.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#4D5D2C" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We have what is known as 'sauna' night; where a group of people congregate and mingle together. &amp;nbsp;Different groups function differently, but my rules is co-ed means the covering of private areas. &amp;nbsp;I figured out long ago that drunken sauna nights, women with no morals and men of all types could lead to disaster for relationships. &amp;nbsp;I believe strongly in the promises made between two people; particularly
with marriage and especially family units.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                    &lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;/tr&gt;
                &lt;tr&gt;
                    &lt;td&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#4D5D2C" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Any female permitted in my yard is expected to respect my wishes; if not, no need to hang together. &amp;nbsp;I also take my friendships very seriously and would never intentionally do anything to cross the line. &amp;nbsp;I expect any person at my level, who wants to be a part of my world to put value in my needs and wants; even if I seem unbelievably "holier than thou", without explanation, I should be respected.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#4D5D2C" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;If you hang out with anyone who seems to become the person sitting next to them; be warned, these individuals can destroy many environments and are toxic to lives.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#4D5D2C" size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I don't just make decisions based on what a person heard down the line; we all know how rumors are, but I do keep what is told to me in line, question the source and wait for the right moment to get to the bottom of something. &amp;nbsp;I'm known as the person who confronts an issue 2 years later; and there's a reason for that.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                    &lt;/td&gt;
                    &lt;td align="center"&gt;
                        &lt;table align="center"&gt;

                                &lt;/td&gt;
                            &lt;/tr&gt;

    &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;td align="left"&gt;
            &lt;h1 align="center"&gt;Affected By Two Deaths...&lt;/h1&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#3B608D"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I have a lot weighing on my mind this morning. &amp;nbsp;Two experiences people have had in the recent weeks has my mind just reeling. &amp;nbsp;You just never know or understand just how short life can be. &amp;nbsp;You really do need to live life to the fullest potential; live every day like it could be your last.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#3B608D"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="black"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The first situation that got my mind spinning involved a ten month old child. &amp;nbsp;The mother, supposedly, was a party animal and didn't want to get up with her child. &amp;nbsp;The father, he got a bottle, laid down with the child, and in the morning, woke up with a deceased
infant. &amp;nbsp;He had rolled on the child in his sleep and suffocated him. &amp;nbsp;The investigation is still pending.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="black"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Now, the story of this goes that it's all the mother's fault for being the person that she is, and the father is so guilt stricken he can't handle it. &amp;nbsp;The mother also blames the father, and has kicked him out of the house. &amp;nbsp;My reaction to this story met some anger from the person who was relaying the already seen newscast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="black"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My reply was this, "Okay, this is very tragic. &amp;nbsp;I can see why the father is so guilt-stricken; this didn't need to happen. &amp;nbsp;Yes, okay, the mom may be over-board with her fun, but do you know this for a fact? &amp;nbsp;Were you there when this happened? &amp;nbsp;Because the way I see it is I wonder how the father did not wake up when
I'm sure the ten month old was struggling. &amp;nbsp;I mean, I can see a newborn infant being less noticeable while deep in sleep, but a ten month old? &amp;nbsp;That child is gonna be heard! &amp;nbsp;So was the father also someone who had recently had a lot of fun to sleep so hard? &amp;nbsp;Perhaps the child was better left fed, and returned to the crib in this case."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="black"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I know this sounds cruel to say on my part, or perhaps easier to say from a distance, but while it's true this was an accident, it could have been prevented, and I think it's both parents who are at fault. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;THE SECOND STORY&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Another dis-heartening story for me came from one of my best friends. &amp;nbsp;Her mother had passed away; she was and still is a positive influence on the people here on earth. &amp;nbsp;Her mother died of complications; which she shared with me.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Her mother had lived with only 30% of her lung use for 3 years; she was diagnosed with COPD. &amp;nbsp;The fact she survived as long as she did with as little air as she was getting made her a walking miracle in itself. &amp;nbsp;However, she had four things against her this time; COPD, Bronchitis, Black Mold infection and a yeast infection from medications she was taking. &amp;nbsp;All of which were located
in her lungs. &amp;nbsp;She was put on a ventilator and had sunk into a coma when it was discovered her capacity had dropped down to 17%.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The family was informed this would be it; the scar tissue alone was too much now, but after getting some coffee the following morning, found out their mom was off the ventilator, was moved to another floor and was walking down the halls. &amp;nbsp;They were amazed! &amp;nbsp;She definitely was a walking miracle. &amp;nbsp;So everyone was able to get a little peace until that afternoon when their mom was once
again put into I.C.U. on a ventilator. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Now my friend doesn't know how her mom did this, but she was conscience during this time. &amp;nbsp;She had a breathing tube in her throat and she was sitting up writing messages to everyone; having good conversation. &amp;nbsp;She was on the medications needed for all infections, and once again, appeared to be getting better. &amp;nbsp;The family enjoyed one last wonderful moment with their mom that day,
because within the course of a couple days, it was time to take her off the life support system she was on. &amp;nbsp;It wasn't much longer, and she passed away; with her family by her side every inch of the way.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My friend said at some points, she felt very angry that she went from no hope to just fine to no hope and time to end it. &amp;nbsp;She said she didn't understand how they could say no hope when they said it once before; even if the science of medicine says otherwise. &amp;nbsp;She said it was very hard to deal with as it was such a roller coaster. &amp;nbsp;I sat and pondered on what she had just said,
and then I told her the way that I see it.&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I said, "You know, on one side of the coin, you could say it was unfair and almost emotional torture to go through this, but no matter what, there was no choice but to go through this part. &amp;nbsp;Now, on the other side of the coin is what I want to look at with this: &amp;nbsp;your mother was a modern miracle for three years of her life. &amp;nbsp;She defied all that modern science has taught
us and was prognosed years ago she would not last more than a couple of months. &amp;nbsp;And if you want to take into consideration her stay at the hospital, I would say there was yet another miracle, or gift I would like to call it, that you got to spend that extra time with your mother; having a normal conversation. &amp;nbsp;Especially since many others are not lucky enough to get that chance. &amp;nbsp;I would say you were given two incredible gifts, and it's because your mother touched the hearts of so many with her
kindness."&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My friend agreed that is the better way of looking at things, and had actually came to that conclusion the night before. &amp;nbsp;There was also something good that came out of this. &amp;nbsp;My friend's daughter had entered a contest to win a new furnace in our hometown, and while her grandmother was in the hospital, many people in the hospital voted on the website without knowing which stove belonged
to her grand-daughter. &amp;nbsp;It was discovered soon after she passed away that her grand-daughter did win the furnace contest after all! &amp;nbsp;She would have been happy to know this!&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td align="left"&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;Today's Special:&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I know things have been rough all over financially, so I am offering you answers to &lt;font color="red"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2 questions for&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; only &lt;font color="red" size="4"&gt;$5&lt;/font&gt;! &amp;nbsp;Simply click on the buy now button and send me your questions.&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;&lt;span&gt;So the Lessons of these stories amount to this for me:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;ol&gt;
                &lt;li align="left"&gt;
                    &lt;div align="left"&gt;Many accidents can be avoided. &amp;nbsp;An accident like the first story is one that can be avoided. &amp;nbsp;(Many times even a car accident can be avoided by some step taken by one of those involved.)&lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;/li&gt;
                &lt;li align="left"&gt;
                    &lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span&gt;It's hard to look for good in something so negative as the change of human souls, but there is a purpose and many miracles and gifts given; even in those tough times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;/ol&gt;
        &lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

            &lt;/ul&gt;
            &lt;h2 align="center"&gt;MORAL OF THE STORY...&lt;/h2&gt;
            &lt;ul&gt;
                &lt;li align="left"&gt;
                    &lt;div align="left"&gt;
                        &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#C00000" size="2"&gt;Too many times we go beyond out limits to buy things we feel make our children happy. &amp;nbsp;Especially at the holiday time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
                    &lt;/div&gt;
                &lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;/ul&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The problem with this pattern is we get depressed when we want to do more, but can't! &amp;nbsp;Apparently, it's not the price of the items, the amount of the candy or the small prizes in each basket that makes our children happy. &amp;nbsp;They find more value in the events we plan as a family unit. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I have figured out through the ages of time that giving your children everything they wish for creates the monster of a child that says you never do a thing! &amp;nbsp;The value of not only the gift, but of the American Dollar will not be learned and all those things you worked hard to buy, often gets neglected. &amp;nbsp;Work hard at the bond, not the gift. &amp;nbsp;;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;h4&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
        &lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;
            &lt;h1 align="center"&gt;THE BEST PART OF THE HOLIDAYS:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font size="2"&gt;THE CHILDREN'S ANTICIPATION!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;img src="http://sl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1910/1910061rg92qf2hpx.jpg" border="0" height="166" width="159" /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#604B79" face="Gabriola"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I know that Easter is supposed to mean something more than the "Easter Bunny", "colored eggs" and "baskets", but I call myself my own religion and have adapted to the fact that Hallmark wants us to buy stuff. &amp;nbsp;lol &amp;nbsp;Basically, Easter is a tradition in my house
for having
fun as the family unit. &amp;nbsp;This year made me fee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#388194" face="Gabriola"&gt;l so good inside.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#388194"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#388194" face="Gabriola"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Just like most of America, we didn't have much money, and it wasn't until like two days before the holiday I could even pick things up. &amp;nbsp;I felt bad. &amp;nbsp;I had to buy the best new "used" baskets I could find, went to the dollar store and picked
up some goodies,
but wished I could do so much more. &amp;nbsp;I decided it's not about what they receive, but more like having a day full of celebration. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font color="#748C42" face="Gabriola"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#748C42" face="Gabriola"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My older children were visiting their father this Easter, and since I didn't have much cash, decided to do lots of arts and crafts using stuff at home and egg dye kits. &amp;nbsp;We hand painted plastic eggs, after we pooled our dye kits with another family to double the fun, and then we took
nickels and dimes
and stuffed the plastic eggs. &amp;nbsp;All in all, I was told it was the best Easter ever when they got to look for eggs two times!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#748C42" face="Gabriola"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#903C39" face="Gabriola"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Anyway, what makes me smile is the part I'm about to share with you. &amp;nbsp;Do you remember either yourself or your children's excitement during a holiday? &amp;nbsp;My kids at Christmas
(when younger)
would even cry and not know why. &amp;nbsp;lol &amp;nbsp;They were so tired and excited, it made them bears. &amp;nbsp;So I decided long ago, I would let them sleep &amp;nbsp;until they decided it was time to get up. &amp;nbsp;This is what makes me smile at my 9 year old daughter. &amp;nbsp;;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/td&gt;
        &lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#cc6699" size="1"&gt;
      &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#cc6699" size="1"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font color="#cc6699" size="1"&gt;&lt;font color="#0080c0" face="Arial" size="3"&gt;&lt;em&gt;OUR INNER 
      SOUL&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#cc6699" size="1"&gt;      &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#3B608D" face="Gabriola"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Anyway, the first question was, "Mom, do you think we should go to bed early?" &amp;nbsp;I looked at the time, and was thinking, 'holy cow guys....it's not even seven yet and you want
to go to bed?' &amp;nbsp;lol &amp;nbsp;I told my daughter it was quite fine to go to bed at the normal time, and she looked frustrated and went back upstairs. &amp;nbsp;I could hear her and her brother (who is 6) having a discussion I couldn't make out, and then she was back. &amp;nbsp;This time, she asked, "Mom"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#748C42" face="Gabriola"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And I replied back to her and said, "Yes, Paige....throw your 700th question out at me for the day." &amp;nbsp;;) &amp;nbsp;She says, "Well, me and my brother were wondering about something. &amp;nbsp;What do you think would be a good time to get up? &amp;nbsp;Like say, five or six? &amp;nbsp;Or
should it be
like 7 or 8?" &amp;nbsp;And she had such a look of concern and intent in her eyes and across her face. &amp;nbsp;I smiled and said, "What time do you think you should get up?" &amp;nbsp;She replied, "Well, I was thinking more like five or six, but then do you think you could wake us up tomorrow then?" &amp;nbsp;lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font color="#748C42" face="Gabriola"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#7030A0" face="Gabriola"&gt;She was horrified by my response. &amp;nbsp;I said to her, "Well, I have a better idea &amp;nbsp;Every year I wake you guys up, especially after having a hard time falling asleep
from the anticipation,
I get a crabby kid somewhere in the middle of the day. &amp;nbsp;So the best answer I can say is this: &amp;nbsp;How about if we let our bodies wake us up?" &amp;nbsp;Man, she looked like a brick fell off the roof and hit her in the head! &amp;nbsp;lmao&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
            &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#748C42" face="Gabriola" size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#B97034" face="Gabriola"&gt;She moaned, she groaned, she sighed and she closed her eyes and then she replied in absolute dismay, "BUT MOM! &amp;nbsp;WHAT IF I SLEEP UNTIL NOON?!" &amp;nbsp;lol &amp;nbsp;I
couldn't quit laughing.
&amp;nbsp;I told her, "Honey, since the day you were born, you have not slept past 9 ever! &amp;nbsp;I seriously doubt your body will go into overdrive with the sleep and for the first time ever, you don't wake up until it's time for lunch!" &amp;nbsp;lol &amp;nbsp;She was so certain she would sleep through Easter that she wanted an alarm clock! &amp;nbsp;;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#cc6699" size="1"&gt;      &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#cc6699" size="1"&gt;      &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color="#cc6699" size="1"&gt;      &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;        &lt;/td&gt;

&lt;p align=left&gt;In the course of finding love, I have had many women who seem to enjoy the 'smoothness' of that intriguing man.&amp;nbsp; You know, the one that tells you everything you want to hear and makes you feel all creamy inside?&amp;nbsp; This is the person that I refer to as the 'marble'.&amp;nbsp; This person is collected and treasured by many, but often just rolls away and gets lost when you aren't looking.&amp;nbsp; This is usually the person who says things you've been dreaming to hear all your life, has the body that rocks your world and the coolest of possessions.&amp;nbsp; This may even be the person who tends to be practicing on a guitar every night in hopes of their one big chance to be a star.&amp;nbsp; Beware though, this person will most likely get lost into a world of wandering that will leave you feeling left behind, and with a heart that feels shattered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;Then there's the 'diamond in the rough'.&amp;nbsp; This person is the one who works hard in life, isn't perfect with their looks, but can still be filled with charm.&amp;nbsp; This person is a gemstone in the making, and while this person may not appear at first glance to be as exciting as the 'marble', you can rest assured if you put your diamond down next to you, it's not going to become lost from rolling away in a smooth state.&amp;nbsp; The 'diamond in the rough', if given the ultimate chance, has the opportunity of perfection, and becoming one of the most gorgeous treasures that you've come across.&amp;nbsp; This sort of partner is much more valuable than the smooth person you'll come across, and deserves just as much a chance to touch your heart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Relationship-Advice/398802.aspx"&gt;The Marble Or The Diamond In The Rough&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may also be interested in checking out some endearing poetry submitted involving feelings of love. &lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/New-Poetry-Submissions/397272.aspx"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please check out the article on the power of words. &lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Words/397243.aspx"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True Love Is Possible; read the article by &lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/True-Love-Is-Possible--Just-Dont-Give-Up/389524.aspx"&gt;Clicking Here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lessons On Love And Giving Up: &lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Lessons-Of-Love-And-Giving-Up/387612.aspx"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Online/Long Distance Dating: &lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Online-Long-Distance-Relationships/397268.aspx"&gt;Click here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;View The Instegating Woman by &lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Dealing-With-The-Instegating-Woman/400057.aspx"&gt;Clicking here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Something-New/400239.aspx"&gt;Click Here To Go Back To Main Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Something-New/400239.aspx"&gt;Click Here To Go Back To Main Page&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=398802" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/archive/category/2297.aspx">Inspirational Stories</category></item><item><title>Inspirational Story For Karmic Debt</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Inspirational-Story-For-Karmic-Debt/398493.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:33:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:398493</guid><dc:creator>Angel Tears From Heaven</dc:creator><slash:comments>15</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/comments/398493.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/commentrss.aspx?PostID=398493</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/rsscomments/398493.aspx</wfw:comment><description>&lt;h1 align=center&gt;Inspirational Example For Karmic Debt&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color=#9900cc&gt;This is a very real story about my own payback for a Karmic Debt I owed. &amp;nbsp;There was this woman, who at the time was my age, and I greatly was feeling negative every time I thought of her. &amp;nbsp;I had finally gotten so negative with the situation we were involved in, and gave her the hex from hell. &amp;nbsp;Let me tell you, I said, "I hope she loses her job, her car, her house and her kid!", but really didn't think any of those would truly happen. &amp;nbsp;I have learned not to hex anyone else in my life, because guess what? &amp;nbsp;She first lost her job, and then she lost her car. &amp;nbsp;Because she had no job, she lost her house, and eventually, her ex took her kid because she couldn't take care of her. &amp;nbsp;I was like, wow, I would have never guessed!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color=#9900cc&gt;So okay, time went on, and because of what I'm about to tell you, I realized a hex is really a spell, and just simple thoughts can produce them, because my house caught on fire, and I lost the whole upstairs! &amp;nbsp;Not only did we lose the whole upstairs of our home, and everything that was in it, but we also didn't have any homeowners insurance. &amp;nbsp;Boof, that really put a crunch in my life, and was definitely three times worst!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color=#9900cc&gt;So the moral of this story is to use caution even with the thoughts you entertain in your mind, because they can work as simple spells. &amp;nbsp;Be careful to always do good unto others, or you'll find that things aren't very good coming back at you, and if you are thinking about having a spell cast, make sure you find out what will happen, and how it will affect those in the path of bringing your success. &amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;(Scroll your mouse down below these paragraphs to see other postings similar to this one.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font face="Copperplate Gothic Light" color=black&gt;Please take a moment to pray for these very beautiful people who are facing difficult times. &amp;nbsp;A prayer and a spell go hand in hand, as both are done through the power of the mind, and good thoughts can bring good results. &amp;nbsp;Join me now to hopefully extend something more promising to these people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=black&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font face="Courier New" color=black&gt;Please pray or say positive spell powers for Frank. &amp;nbsp;Frank is almost 60 years old, and has been told he has about two weeks left to live. &amp;nbsp;He has had pancreatic cancer, and the therapies, or regimines just aren't working. &amp;nbsp;Lets pray for his health, his mind and his strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Courier New" color=black size=2&gt;Please take a moment to positively reflect the devestating effects of Hurricane Ike. &amp;nbsp;Lets pray for those who are still missing, for those that have lost everything, and for the area in it's entirety. &amp;nbsp;In addition to these people, lets pray for the future miracles in other earth shattering devestations for those that will meet the path of this magnitude with destruction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font face="Courier New" color=black size=2&gt;Lets take a moment to pray for Donna, who is the wife of Frank for so long she doesn't know what she would do if she lost him. &amp;nbsp;Lets pray to give her strength to get through whatever God has in store for them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Copperplate Gothic Light"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Century color=black size=2&gt;Lets all take a moment to reflect some positive energy to those who were in a recent train wreck. &amp;nbsp;Pray for the lives that were lost, and the lives that may be spared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Engravers MT" color=black size=2&gt;Lets take a moment to send positive energy to those people out there who have done cruel things to others. &amp;nbsp;Lets take a moment to pray for the gift of sight for what they have done, so they can learn from their mistakes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lucida Console" color=black size=2&gt;Lets also take one more moment to pray for those who have lost their lives, or our fighting for our country. &amp;nbsp;Lets pray that we can find world peace and communication that can be positive between all involved.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=Century color=black size=2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=black size=2&gt;Last, please light a candle and just concentrate on sending positive power to those who would need it that we are not aware of. &amp;nbsp;These simple acts of kindness can go a long way, and can help provoke miracles.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=Century color=black size=2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=#cc9933 size=2&gt;A simple thought is a spell. &amp;nbsp;A spell is simply something written down, or devised to give you something to focus on while concentrating. &amp;nbsp;It's to keep your mind informed of what you are really working towards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=#cc9933 size=2&gt;We've all heard statements about how one person's kindness, picking up a book, or helping someone who tripped resulted in their kindness preventing a suicide. &amp;nbsp;If you didn't put mind power into focusing on making this person happy, you wouldn't have picked up the&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font color=#cc9933 size=2&gt;book, nor said any kind words, and that person might be gone. &amp;nbsp;That is just an example of how the power of the mind, and simple thoughts can be all that's needed in providing prayers or spells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Likewise, if you are negative, and you are thinking bad about something, you can make that bad thing happen because of the energies you are sending out in the form of actions, reactions, your way of stimulating others, and many other areas. &amp;nbsp;So make sure you practicie positive, and stay away from negative thought patterns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go Back To The Title Page:  &lt;a href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/Volume-III/397294.aspx"&gt;Click Here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=397270" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/archive/category/2268.aspx">Thoughts, Articles &amp;amp; Stories</category><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/archive/category/2281.aspx">Channeled Messages</category><category domain="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/archive/category/2297.aspx">Inspirational Stories</category></item><item><title>My Simple Avoid The Rules Gave Me Consequences</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/Angel_Tears_From_Heaven/My-Simple-Avoid-The-Rules-Gave-Me-Consequences/400198.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:44:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:400198</guid><dc:creator>Angel Tears From Heaven</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/comments/400198.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/19755250/commentrss.aspx?PostID=400198</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/rsscomments/400198.aspx</wfw:comment><description>&lt;table&gt;

&lt;h3 align=center&gt;&lt;font color=#009966&gt;Use the rules to your benefit, and just alter things to reach your ultimate goal. &amp;nbsp;They say every rule is meant to be broken, and I feel this is because it's the only way we learn to overcome obstacles. &amp;nbsp;So if you do find out the consequences through breaking the rules, see if you can figure out a way to success without breaking it!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Life is set based on morals and pricinpals, which create that comples area called rules. &amp;nbsp;Even the simplest of rules have something important lessons that others can learn from. &amp;nbsp;Following the rules is so important to keep chaos from becoming a part of our every day, not to mention it inspires integrity amongst humans, as well as themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am going to share this simple example of how not listening can change one's life. &amp;nbsp;Although you can fix the wrong, and learn from the mistakes, sometimes it's better to avoid situations by simply following the rules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 align=center&gt;Will You Quit Fooling Around?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;Before we took off on our fourwheeler, headed for a journey with friends, my husband looked at me and said, "Now remember, no sticking your foot out."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;A simple statement so it seemed, but I had a very real problem with worrying about getting hurt without any walls to support me, so I had a habit of trying to fix areas that didn't need fixing while I was bouncing and turning around. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font size=2&gt;Having said this, I was really enjoying my day. &amp;nbsp;The warm sun was beating on my face, the soft wind was floating by my body, and we were zipping around in a very relaxed state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;I didn't see it coming. &amp;nbsp;All of a sudden I felt like things weren't as stable as before, and overted my eyes down to the road. &amp;nbsp;I honestly felt in our turn we were going to go tumbling on this hill we were sitting on. &amp;nbsp;So what did I do? &amp;nbsp;I whipped out my leg to push the fourwheeler in the direction it was supposed to go. &amp;nbsp;The next thing you know, my body is being pulled off the machine, as the tire caught my shoe. &amp;nbsp;My husband realized something was a miss and stopped the fourwheeler, which was now in a very uncomfortable way hurting the foot it was on. &amp;nbsp;He turned around and looked at how I still had one leg up on the seat, and the other on the ground, and couldn't figure out why my face was turning ten shades of red.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;By this point, he actually shut the four wheeler off, and I muttered, "My foot is under the tire. &amp;nbsp;Hurry up, start the machine, and get OFF my foot! &amp;nbsp;I'm not fooling around here."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;Shocked, he started the machine and rode off my foot, which to this day is still a little affected by the trauma it endured. &amp;nbsp;The moral of this story is if I had followed a simple rule, this would have never happened, and even though it seemed like such a simple area, the results were anything more than simple affects.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color=#3300cc&gt;Life is funny when it comes to rules. &amp;nbsp;Even the simplest of rules can have big consequences, so remember to use integrity to listen to what others care to share with you. &amp;nbsp;If you can avoid consequences, all the better, but if you happen to disobey a rule, things can still be corrected. &amp;nbsp;Don't look down on yourself if human nature has kept you from following the rules, instead, remember why those rules were made. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes hands on learning is the best kinds of learning we can encounter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=right&gt;Many Blessings,&lt;br /&gt;Teresa&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

&lt;h3 align=left&gt;&lt;font color=#009900 size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;Life is what we make of it, so when creating your existence, make sure you make special notes about those that wrong you. &amp;nbsp;You must have respect for yourself, and must keep the ill affects away from you, as this is the way for inner happiness. &amp;nbsp;Work with people who want to work together, or put the same interest into things that you do.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3 align=center&gt;&lt;font color=#009966&gt;Remember to ignore those who choose to affect your life through the use of abuse. &amp;nbsp;Abuse comes in many ways, but if we learn to ignore it, they can't affect you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p align=center&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color=black&gt;Please feel free to comment on this site, and if you have any articles in reference to different kinds of abuse you would like to be seen linked to this page, just let me know. &amp;nbsp;As long as it fits the criteria, you will again be seen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Life is filled with a wide array of different scopes of people, which means we are likely to encounter people along our journey that don't warrant the space to be there. &amp;nbsp;These people will use you for a myriad of reasons, but while most are users of your energies, many are also energies of jealousy whom would love to see you fall from what they see is a shiny ray of light. &amp;nbsp;They would rather see you fall below the levels they would want you to be, but to do so would surely make them happy, but bring your level down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In relationships, people find themselves abused by either people who want to constantly get your attention and help with it, figure they have more of an oppurtunity to find someone if they are around you or simply are jealous because of who may have shown interest in you. &amp;nbsp;Get these people out of your life because they are only soaking up energy and showering negativity, and they have wronged you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In business, people find themselves abused by people who either want you to help them with all your extra energy, or want your business to fail, so they shower you with negativity. &amp;nbsp;Giving in to this negative energy is a big no-no, as it will affect your career, which is a driving devotion in many of us. &amp;nbsp;Get these people out of your life, and your mind, because they will wrong you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In friendships, people find themselves abused by people who want to be the center of attention, but don't even realize there are moments where your life is fragile too. &amp;nbsp;These people are quick to ask for help, but also quick to disappear when help is needed. &amp;nbsp;Simply put, a true friend is always there to lend the helping hand, and the abuser of the energy field is the one to be taking from that hand, without ever sticking their hand out in return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In family, people find themselves abused for many more reason other than other areas. &amp;nbsp;There is such a wide variety of people which fit in this scope, because face it, we are related to one another from many different angles. &amp;nbsp;Family members can do all of the above listed, and then some. &amp;nbsp;They often combine many different areas of abuse if they feel necessary, and get the chance to do it time and time again because they are relatives. &amp;nbsp;I did hear once from a psychiatrist I mused off to, that it's okay to cut family members out of your life for consistiently wronging you, because even if they have emotional issues, they know what they are doing is wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are any one of these people getting the abuse, or anyone of the people dishing abuse, the answer is the same. &amp;nbsp;Leave the situation immediately. &amp;nbsp;Those on the abuse side will create bad karma and those that allow the abuse can see the bad karma drift over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would now like to take the following moment to recommend some reading material for you. &amp;nbsp;The first and foremost you should look at involves something very well written in regards to the topic you just read about. &amp;nbsp;She is a wonderful person, who has helped many, and she has written an article on Getting Rid Of Toxic People, which goes along great when you have it figured out with who they are. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font color=#6600cc size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;My mother in law always told me there are two things she never wanted to discuss, and that was politics and religion. &amp;nbsp;So, I never discussed them, and instead let her call me ritually to complain about life, how no one cared, and how unhappy she was with her marriage. &amp;nbsp;Then one night, she started talking about her intent when she died, and I was like, "um, you aren't going to die, so please stop saying that." &amp;nbsp;She replied that she would die, made some simple requests to me for when she would be in the hospital, and then went on to discuss how she really felt there was such a thing in reincarnation. &amp;nbsp;I was really shocked, because she always thought the profession I chose to do was a little ungodlike, and yet her theory went with much of my personal belief system. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She had shared this thought with no one but me, which shocked everyone when I outwardly pointed out that she did believe she would be reincarnated again. &amp;nbsp;This story I am about to share with you brought both tears to my eyes, and happiness all at the same time.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;My husband and I were notified that his mom was in a grave situation, and to this day, I believe she would still be here if it weren't for the quacks that took care of her. &amp;nbsp;She had been losing blood, and they didn't know where, and was getting transfusions every so many months, but to our knowledge, everything else was fine. &amp;nbsp;Well, she went to the hospital because her lower back and hips were hurting, and just because she was 68 years old, the doctor said it was her psyatic nerve (however you spell that), and gave her the shot that ended her life. &amp;nbsp;The needle was dirty that she had gotten the transfusion with, and she developed a nasty illness from a staff infection that went through her whole entire body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;She had a home health nurse that visited her regularly, who didn't seem to think it was important she was spiking fevers, and eventually not getting off her couch. &amp;nbsp;It turns out she was having several heartattacks while she was laying there, and by the time she got to the hospital, she was still talking, but not looking very good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;We stayed at her bedside all night long, and watched her having a hard time breathing, so the next day, the doctors put her into an induced coma...one she would never come out of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;The staff infection turned to gangreen, and also caused chaffing on her heart, and with as many strokes as she had while in the hospital, they said she was brain dead, and the decision was made to take her off the life support.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td colSpan=2&gt;
&lt;h1 align=center&gt;Even Through The Tears, My Mother-In-Law&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p align=right&gt;Still Brought A Smile To My Face With Her Sad Death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;h2 align=center&gt;&lt;font face="Script MT Bold" color=#0099ff size=6&gt;My Husband And I Sat Silently In The Waiting Room While This Event Took Place&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Bradley Hand ITC" color=black size=3&gt;I felt very guilty at the point of the life support being taken off. &amp;nbsp;I had made her a promise to tell her if she was dying, and I just never could do it, because I just didn't want her to. &amp;nbsp;I wanted her to call me up yelling every chance she could get, and to this day, I don't think she was brain dead, but I'll talk about that more later.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial Narrow" color=#996666 size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;We had been going to the hospital every day for almost a whole month before she was being given her final ticket to heaven, and all during this time of running back and forth, up and down the elevators, spending long evenings and sitting with family members in lobbies, there was another woman who was fated to pass away on the same day. &amp;nbsp;We had spend many, many hours with the same family for weeks on end, and as my husband and I sat with tears in our eyes, the other family members were crying for their loved on too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial Narrow" color=#996666 size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was agonizing waiting to hear, with what my opinion was to see if she would be strong enough to survive without the life support. &amp;nbsp;Instead, she was injected with morphine, and every time she fought and her heartbeat went up, she got another dose. &amp;nbsp;Kind of like Jack Kovorkian in my opinion, and well, they prosecuted him. &amp;nbsp;I thought maybe she was really going to pull through, as it had been almost an hour since everyone went in to hold her hand, but I was wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial Narrow" color=#996666 size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;At about sixty minutes later, the door flung open, and her husband came out crying hard, along with the other family members who had said she had passed away now....But I already knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial Narrow" color=#996666 size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;It was the moment that happened right before the announcement that I will never forget. &amp;nbsp;The other woman who was not fairing well also died at the exact moment that my mother-in-law did, and I knew that too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial Narrow" color=#996666 size=2&gt;&lt;i&gt;I know you're saying, "Of course you knew, it was inevitable not to know what was happening." &amp;nbsp;But what I'm about to say to you is the true event that brought me inner peace, and made me feel so good inside.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 align=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Bells Start Chiming&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p align=left&gt;&lt;font face=Courier color=#ff00cc&gt;At the hospital we had been visiting for so long, when a child is born, they send out a chiming sound through the whole hospital. &amp;nbsp;This is to signify the birth of a new child, and while I was waiting on the outcome of the situation, not only one chime went off, but two, signifying that twins had been born. &amp;nbsp;There was beautiful lullabyes being played, and I thought back to when me and 'mom' (as she liked to be called) had our discussion on her belief on reincarnation, and I just knew&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=Courier color=#ff00cc&gt;that both 'mom' and this other woman had passed away. &amp;nbsp;At the exact moment, within seconds of the chimes going off, the door came open with the sobbing people who had seen their loved ones off to the next realm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=Courier color=#ff00cc&gt;I know it may seem silly to some, but it really brought me great consolation to hear two births at the same time as two deaths. &amp;nbsp;It made me feel so peaceful inside that I had the roses I purchased for mom (as they were just freshly new, I tried everything to inspire) given to the mother of the twins with a note that just said congratulations, you have two very beautiful spirits born today.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=black&gt;As hard as it was to let her go, I also knew she wasn't really gone, and to this day I wonder what she thinks of her new little body that is now probably around three. &amp;nbsp;Both women who passed away are now most likely bonded together through the miracle of twins. &amp;nbsp;I just find it all so very ironic, and probably will always remember how the spirit had moved me at just the right moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=black&gt;Of course, I explained all of everything that happened by asking the other family members who had been in her room at the time of her passing if they heard the chimes, and none of them had, and I don't think none of them really understood the significance, but to me, I will never forget it. &amp;nbsp;Miracles really do happen in little ways...and my miracle helped me understand that life is never ending...just a circle of energy tranferred time and time again.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
