But did you know that huge demonstrations have been taking place in Tokyo as well? We certainly didn’t until a SOTT forum member sent us the details. The general lack of awareness of the protests in Japan is probably due to the fact that there has been zero coverage of ’Occupy Tokyo’ - w ...

Thank you so much for writing your very wise words, fledgling! Thank you for the reminder of the prayers--the first one is the principle of Ho’oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness: http://ezinearticles.com/?Using-Hooponopono-to-Transform-Your-Life-Now&id=1757134 ...and the second one, I say to myself frequently! I’m talking to my hurt or scared ”inner child” self, and use it to self-soothe. Yes, there really is no such thing as time! We humans are very linear in our 3D reality, but as spiritual BEings we are without time. Everything that ha ...

Yesterday I took a walk at one of my favorite suburban sites at Monte Verde Park in Lakewood, California. Part of the walk path runs along the San Gabriel “River”. I put river in quotation marks because what was once a natural river now runs through a concrete channel for flood control purposes; at least it still runs to the ocean. It is also a haven for all kinds of waterfowl, and many a time I’ve walked past tall, elegant Blue Heron and seen pelicans, once almost extinct because of DDT poisoning, gliding gracefully over the water. The city took great pains to plant a ¼ mile stretch with ...

Can we fall from Grace? A conversation with my Dad by Larisa Stow http://www.larisastow.com/2011/12/fall-from-grace/ Last night I got a call from my dad. This is not an ordinary occurrence. While my father and I are close, we haven’t had the kind of relationship where we just regularly pick up the phone and call each other. I am grateful that this is changing. Since my dad began to pursue his dream of writing, I have witnessed a softening within him that has created openings in different areas of his life. My dad had just revisited his own private journal from thirty ...

Sounds like swollen glands. Probably from Herbicide exposures, could be from the paint fumes also. Even though the paint is low-fume it still has some VOC’s in it (volatile organic compounds) and if you are sleeping in your room after newly painted, you are breathing it in all night. your system may be overloaded from both herbicide and paint fume exposure at the same time. recommend sleeping elsewhere until paint fumes outgas, and not being in the room while it is painted. do NOT expose self further to round-up.   [End]

Thanks for quoting me, EG. Basically, I said that the City did NOT do its homework. I can understand their concern for making the canyon less prone to fire hazard, but they went about it badly--threatening hefty fines on individual homeowners if they did not remove the Arundo by a set deadline and recommending Round-up as the means to control the re-growth of the Arundo instead of taking the time and planning to hold community meetings and get all opinions as to the safest, healthiest way for fire prevention. The homeowners of the canyon properties need to get together as a community ...

Dear Rudi: I am so sorry you are having such financial difficulties! Personally, I believe that the helping professions—teaching, nursing, social work, childcare, eldercare, are some of the most valuable to our society, yet the most underrated in terms of recognition and certainly in pay. Of course you have to take care of your own financial needs. If you leave teaching to sell widgets, it does not mean you have to stop helping others. You can still be a volunteer, maybe at the same place you are teaching now. You might even be able to help out community organizations or individua ...

After going to bed I fell asleep for 4 hours and then woke up, crying again. Old memories from 20 years ago surfaced--I used to work in the pediatric unit of a medical facility as a social worker; the children had severe birth defects or traumatic brain injury. Most of them either died or remained severely disabled. I could remember the children and their parents and the situations clearly, as if i ...

Maybe you could approach management or whoever does purchasing and ask that they consider more environmentally friendly cups. even plastic cups are better than styrofoam. better yet are REUSABLE cups--I’d assume that the nursing home has a dishwasher--why are they using throw-away cups in the first place? what about regular ceramic coffee cups that can be washed and reused?
