And Away We Go!

"Cheetah motherhood is a solitairy job.
Males appear briefly for mating but play no role
in rearing the young. After 18 months, Amani [the mother in the National Geographic story Mama Cat, Jan 2005] moves to a new part of her 300-square-mile range, leaving behind [her curbs] some very confused and distressed offspring. But it's for their own good, and hers: as long as she is mothering them, they will not mate, and her legacy will suffer.
So, Amani will return to life on the savannah,
searching for another mate and tall grass where new cheetahs can learn to run.. "

There should be no despair for you

There should be no despair for you
While nightly stars are burning ---
While evening sheds its silent dew
Or sunshine gilds the morning

There should be no despair, though tears
May flow down like a river ---
Are not the best beloved of years
Around your heart forever?

They weep -- you weep. It must be so
Winds sigh as you are sighing,
And Winter pours its grief in snow
When Autumn's leaves are lying

--- They revive and from their fate
Your fate cannot be parted:
Then journey on if not elate
But never broken-hearted
Emily Bronte, 1840 (Pen name: Ellis Bell)

Financial Responsibility

Cheryl Richardson, a life coach, how to accomplish the goal of this year to become more financially responsible.

1) every day write out 20 times: 'BEING FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE COMES EASILY FOR ME" or "I AM NATURALLY FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE"
With this you are creating a new groove in your mind and you begin to reinforce it by repeating this affirmation over and over.

2) Sit down and answer the question: "what are some important things that I (we, if it's with your partner) need to do to begin to be more financially responsible that I / we keep putting off?"

3) Sit down with a financial planer, or manager at a bank, or a friend who's good with money, someone who can guide you in some way

4) If unemployed, go out there and land SOME job, anyjob.
If you put your body through the motion of getting up and going to a job every day, his will change the energy.

we have a wise self that has our best interest at heart

when you take the time to make positive affirmations, and combine that with taking right actions,you get results.
you are sending a mesg to your wise self that you are a good stewerd and this shift in consciousness that makes things happen.

(when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.)

it's not magical thinking but positive thinking, with intention, COMBINED WITH specific action (sometimes can be something you know that you've been putting off)
is the way to get results.
