Ancient Cosmology: A Map of the Future? | Issue Eight, March 2011 | Noetic Now | Institute of Noetic Sciences This is an amazing article of how the macro-cycles, cycles too large for us to experience individually, are more easily seen and understood by looking at the smaller cycles we are aware of. Simply brilliant and reassuring as we journey forward together on this planet.

I love Deepak Chopra's quote, "Life is a blossoming, not a race" . What an empowering attitude shift to carry forward in our life. The image of a flower unfolding is so soft, natural, and beautiful... versus racing towards a deadline that creates a feeling of pressure and an "end". This is an excerpt from Deepak Chopra's article "Do you struggle with time?". "How much better not to feel any time pressure, to blossom fully despite the fact that death exists. The attitude that life is a blossoming, not a race, can be achieved. But to do that, you can’t believe that time is running out. Sending that message to your body’s cells is the same, ultimately, as programming them to age and die." Read more: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/do-you-struggle-with-time.html#ixzz12LNZeQMP

Complementing previous post on following the voice of The Good Shepherd, Jesus, our ultimate protector, even the protector of our time. Praying this bit of graffiti enhances the lesson shared in my last post. Reference THE HOLY BIBLE -- John 10:1-10. Have a blessed and abundant day!!!

It still takes much time, some times much money, and it may still produce the stress that keeps us from making a real difference in the lives of others through this Season meant to celebrate Christ's birth. My hopes are that your gifts for loved ones, whether home made or store bought, are given in love and chosen especially for that person. Whether a large gift or a small one, one that shows your thoughtfulness about the gift recipient's likes and dislikes, I believe will be relational at its best. The carefully chosen gift says to the recipient, ...

Cleaning out some of my vast collection of emails, I came across these words this morning. As we head into the incredibly jam packed weeks ahead, I believe these speak volumes to how we each determine the most important priorities for ourselves and our families. Very well written, and I only wish I could give credit to the one who penned them -- alas, that person remains anonymous to me at this time. Should I learn of the source I will certainly share with you. Perhaps there lies more precious wisdom from this same individual. Insulate yourself from the killing pace of change. Granted, we have to keep up when it comes to business, but do we really need to strive to have the latest and greatest in all aspects of our lives? My answer is no. We don’t have to be trendy in every aspect of our lives to keep up.
